After loosing one on ebay, I went looking for another, and found this one. It's at least 2 grades higher, and less money, than the one I lost on. This is the only bank in this small Ohio town that issued Nationals; and only type 1 & 2's in $10 denomiations. I'm sure there's not a BIG demand for them, but could the serial number be a deterrent in buying it? Just curious; Who would decline buying ANY note with this serial number?   |

IMHO, condition is not as big a factor in nationals as in other notes,but it is a factor. serials even less.the bank just issued the notes with no control over numbers. sounds like a scarce one. refer to Kelly book.. Your Hometown? one bank town? ect.ect. It's not in bad condition

Nice note! The only 2 meaningful things about that serial number are it's 1) a repeater and 2) relatively low.  |

Serials really don't matter when it comes to collecting nationals, unless it's serial #1. Sometimes a serial #2 or #3 will commands slight premiums. A serial as your's would not bother me. If I needed that note for my collection and it was a good price, I would be buy it.

This also may also be of interest to you, if you didn't already know.. This bank elected to only issues $10 notes. This note is a type 1 and they issued 1,608 sheets of these, which equates to 9,648 notes total. Your note was on sheet 666 and was the first note on a sheet of 6. 14 small notes are known, with all being type 1, except for one. This note is known and sold for $115 in 2002.

Congrats, I wouldn't decline to buy a note with this serial number if it was a bank I was seeking. The other ten sold on ebay had serial number 1503 and was a Type-2. Could be that the winner was after a type-2 version because he or she already had a Type-1. Edited: to add the sold listing number of the note which shows what a type-2 looks like and for images 362407683661-MV Edited by MeadowviewCollector

Nice note indeed.
Wish I knew more about these - I'm still learning.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Not my hometown, but I serviced the Kroger store, (non-food section) as my first job out of high school in Blanchester; like 1967, and haven't been back since. This is the only bank that issued Nationals, and as WheatBack said, only $10's, Type 1 & 2. Back in the 20's and 30's it might have been the only bank in town. I found this one with a dealer on the West Coast. Thanks everyone for your comments. I assumed there would be a few that would shy away from "666". |
