Any idea how many women signers on national bank notes there were...can't be a whole lot of them!
I am unsure of a total number myself.
An ongoing project with the SPMC is a database of national banks and bankers.
There were several female bank officers listed. In the "Signer" column I saw several Y (for yes) and a few had a clickable link which showed an image of the signature.
Of course, the database is a work in progress and some simply had a Y but no image of a signature; others had a dash which means its not known yet.
Pretty cool to see how the database grows and what information is waiting to be discovered.

Wow this thread has seen more posts than I ever anticipated 5 years ago.
My latest addition are 3 from the Farmers Bank of Pollock. I simply like the design.

The reason obsolete banknotes ceased to exist was due to efforts by the federal government to have a more stable paper currency system.
When the government created national banks the legislation placed a tax on private and state banks' notes in circulation. Effectively these were driven out of use by 1866 or so.
Plus, nationals were still good regardless if the bank failed or went out of business.

Since no one else has replied to this post, I'll give my best answer which will be most likely less than satisfactory for you.
I know nothing of varieties when it comes to Trade Dollars other than the Type I versus Type II.
I wish I knew more about the varieties the main trouble is lack of reference books with good pictures to go along with written descriptions.
The trouble with Breen's descriptions, at least in my opinion, is vagueness.
Whether anyone in the near future will publish a new book on Trade Dollars or their varieties is to be seen. Most collectors are content with a single example as a type.

A picture of the reverse would be helpful to see if there is a mint mark. The motto wasn't added until 1866.
We can tell the date isn't from the 1838 to 1849 simply because we can see 185-x
We can eliminate:
1850, 1851, 1856, 1857 and 1858, 1859 because the final digit doesn't look like a 0, 1, 6, 7 or 8
1852 because it has a distinctive upper ball knob
1853 with arrows, 1854 and 1855 are out because the coin in question doesn't have arrowheads at the date
Two dates are left:
1853 no arrows and 1859.
I'm leaning towards 1859 as it has the higher mintage and most, but certainly not all, of the "old weight" silver was melted and re-coined.
Of course, I could be wrong and it wouldn't be the first time nor the last.

No doubt that these are real. These are called love tokens whose heyday was in the Victorian era. Dimes appeared to be the coin of choice though other denominations are seen less frequently.
I'd say if you feel comfortable wear the bracelet or necklace as it isn't going to hurt the value in my opinion.
I would say DO NOT try disassembling the bracelet or polishing any of the coins as the end result would destroy the coins and any value.
I cannot give an exact what it's worth answer other than personally $3 isn't a bad investment. The website I used to look at doesn't have any for sale now which is how I looked for a comparable asking price.
Others may have different opinions.

Any information you have on other area banks in Kirksville, Memphis and Milan would also be appreciated. Like you, I am a Missouri National Currency collector but with a focus more on southeast and southern Missouri. I have some notes from your area and would like more information on the banks &/or bank officers. Pictures of the bank buildings and officers are also on my want list.
I'll add this to my list.

MVC, great information on the Maryville banks and the national currency they issued. Do you have any information on the two Green City banks that issued national currency?
I know some information on each but haven't written down my mental notes. Fortunately, last year I acquired a Green City centennial book which mentions banks.
This is a quick reply on my part in case you check the tread again. I'll work on typing up the info on the Green City banks.
