I sure hope I don't get yelled at for this note being a series 1901... I'll just pretend I didn't notice...   Quote:
one thing that kind of irks me is that they are a bit cost prohibitive in mid to high grade Very true! That's why most (all?) of mine are rather low grade examples. |

Good eye Barry! Bold seals and lovely color for the grade. Here are a few of my favorites.    |

Awesome notes everyone. This Florida Deuce features a center train vignette and was printed by Keating & Ball, Columbia SC. It's remarkable that these notes survived all these years. The back in blank.  |

The only Black Eagle that could have been printed before 1900 is this one, FR 226, bearing the signature combination of Lyons and Roberts, who served together from 1898 to 1905. Only 100M of these were printed before the slight design change on FR 226a, so it is probable that this note was printed during 1899. Of note is the absence of either a prefix or suffix letter in the s/n - they weren't even close to being needed!   Edited by Coinfrog

Very nice Black Eagle Mr.Frog. These New England Commercial Bank Obsoletes are remainders. Remainders are Obsolete notes that were printed but never issued. Many or most of them are without dates, signatures and serial numbers. Collected for the beautiful vignettes and lettering...and in this case, very affordable. Available in many denominations. Printed by the New England Bank Note Company, Boston. I bought these several years ago from the owner of Emporium Coin & Currency while walking the browse floor at FUN in Tampa. Ed was generous with his knowledge and experience and we talked for almost 30 minutes. You'll recognize his company name mostly from the multi-page advertisements seen in Bank Note Reporter.   |

Hey, Steve! That reminds me of this one that I own:   [Reverse is actually blank] As far as I have been able to determine, this $1.00 note was printed for the Bank of America of Providence, Rhode Island, by the National Bank Note Co. of New York. This "Bank of America" existed from 1851-90, after which it was absorbed by the Bank of America Loan & Trust Co. Notes such as these are commonly referred to as "Obsolete Currency" and were issued by state chartered banks and state and local governments up to the Civil War. This particular note, however, was never actually issued, which is why there is no serial number or signature. |

Those are beautiful for sure. I've never bought from Emporium, but his ads certainly attest to the extent of his knowledge and vast inventory.
