Bank of Nashville Overstamps on South Carolina and Georgia Banknotes. In the 1850s, the Bank of Nashville acted as an agent, corresponding bank, and even a clearinghouse for several banks from other Southeastern states. Many banknotes from Georgia and South Carolina were as common in circulation in Tennessee as those from Tennessee banks, and so counterstamps from the Bank of Nashville are occasionally seen on these notes. All four examples here are graded by PCGS Currency, and include: $5.00 July 1, 1852, Bank of Augusta, GA (G-812, W-110-005-G180, Haxby 30-G66), Fine 12 Apparent, CC cancelled, damage in LL corner, small rust stain and hole near center; $10.00 July 4, 1850, Bank of Augusta, GA (G-812, W-110-010-G240, Haxby 30-G84), Fair 2 Apparent, CC cancelled, splits, tears, and damage; $5.00 Aug. 30, 1853, Farmers & Exchange Bank, Charleston, SC (G-815, W-110-005-G010a, Haxby 15-G2a), Very Good 10 Apparent, edge damage, small rust stains; and a $5.00 Nov. 29, 1853, Exchange Bank of Columbia, SC (G-814, W-250-005-G010b), Fine 12 Apparent, small edge tears, minor stains.
