JEEIII New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 8:54 pm I'm new to currency collecting and a bit confused on the Bank Charter numbers, in particular the First National Bank And Trust Company of New Haven, CT. Did they issue 1929 Type 1 Bank Notes using both #2682 and #2? I only find listings for the #2682 but the only examples I see are with #2? Does anyone know the what the story is? Thanks!

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 9:11 pm The reason why you are only seeing Type 1 notes from Ch. #2 is because Ch. #2682 did not issue any small-size notes. Ch. #2682 is a very rare bank with only 1 known note which is an 1882 $10 Brown Back. Report this Post to the Staff

JEEIII New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/23/2015 07:34 am That's where it got confusing as the 1982 National Bank Notes book says the bank retook the #2 in 1909 but the bank is still listed as #2682 through 1932! So the figures listed in the book are actually for Charter #2 1929 Type 1 notes. Thanks for the information! John Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 10/23/2015 1:47 pm FNB of New Haven, Connecticut was chartered in 1863 as Charter #2; it chose a 19 year charter which meant it would have to liquidate or recharter in 1882. The bank liquidated on May 6, 1882. It reorganized as Charter #2682 on May 6, 1882. This charter issued 1882 Brownbacks, 1902 Red Seals and 1902 Date Backs. Sometime in 1909 the government allowed reorganized banks to switch back to their original charter numbers if they desired to. After reverting to Charter #2 the bank issued DB's, PB's, 1929 type 1's and 1929 type 2's. The 6th edition of National Bank Notes states that they took the FNB & TC title on July 2, 1928.

JEEIII New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/23/2015 4:14 pm Thanks! Was wondering if there is a list of the lowest 1929 Type 1 & 2 issued Charter numbers? CT. has #2 and #4 but has anyone ever posted a list of something like the lowest Top 50 Charter numbers? John Report this Post to the Staff

JEEIII New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/23/2015 7:27 pm MV-I guess there is a project! There is a state by state list of in order Charter numbers, so would take a while but seems it's possible. Maybe at least a Top 20 list then could always add to it! John Report this Post to the Staff

JEEIII New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/24/2015 08:27 am Thanks! Should have a first draft list posted by the end of the weekend for any corrections. Very interesting so far! Clearly taking back low charter #'s was not a popular idea back in the late 1800's but the amount of them that quickly disappear from each state list is kind of surprising....
