Here's a $20 1882 Date Back national bank note from The Fannin County NB of Bonham, Texas. The bank was chartered in 1898 and liquidated in 1918, and issued 1882 Brown Back and Date back notes in denominations from $10 through $100. There are no Brown Back notes and only six Date Back notes in the census, with three of those being $20 denomination. The trim is a bit wonky, but the overall appearance I felt was quite OK. And, as a fan of Led Zeppelin, I really like the town name!  |

Beautiful Bonham note hokiefan_82. Was a $100 ever discovered on that bank, or only $50s? Bonzo was one of kind on his Ludwig kit with those oversized symbols. He could play power and speed equally well.

Thank you, CoolBreeze! According to the census, there are no known $100. It shows two $50, three $20 and a single $10, all 1882 DB notes. Quote:

Here's another one of my dream notes - a National Gold Bank Note. I just received it today. It's in a comment-free holder which is a big plus, as so many of these have issues or repairs. It most likely will be the only one of these I will ever own, but I'm very happy with this one.  Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

Thank you, jbuck! I've almost pulled the trigger on a few of these over the past several years that were in holders with comments, as so many of them are. I'm glad I was patient and waited! I thought this one looked quite good for the grade, too.

Thanks, MNP! Surprisingly, the next lot in the auction was another of these - same bank, denomination and Friedberg number, and same comment-free PMG grade - which went for a decent amount less. It was also nice looking but I felt this one had better overall eye appeal. Even though I overpaid a bit I'm quite satisfied with my decision to go for this one.

You may think you have overpaid but consensus clearly favoured "eye appeal" over the 2nd offering. I just saw your last 3 notes & they're all fantastic additions: congrats! |
