United States 1929 Type 1 - 10 Dollars National Bank Note The First National Bank of Philadelphia Pennsylvania Fr 1801-1 Charter 1 PMG 25 Very Fine

United States 1929 Type 1 - 10 Dollars National Bank Note - The First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Charter 1 (Fr. 1801-1)

Certified PMG 25 Very Fine, this piece represents the closing generation of National Currency linked to the first charter ever granted. Surviving Charter 1 notes are historically important not only to Pennsylvania collectors but to the entire narrative of American banking, illustrating how a single Philadelphia institution stood at the inception of uniform national money and remained present at its final small-size issue in 1929.

United States 1929 - 5 Dollars Type 2 National Bank Note - The First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Charter 1 (Fr. 1800-2)

Certified PMG 20 Very Fine, this note captures the culmination of the National Banking era-when the very first chartered bank in the nation still circulated its own legally backed paper money, nearly seventy years after the system began. Each surviving piece from Charter 1 marks a direct link to the founding structure of American national banking.

United States 1838 Olney Alabama uncut remainder sheet with 25 cents, 50 cents, and 1 dollar notes printed by Manly and Orr, deckled bottom margin, PCGS Banknote Very Fine 25

United States 1838 - Olney, Alabama 25 Cents, 50 Cents, 1 Dollar Uncut Sheet Remainder

This 1838 Olney uncut remainder sheet must therefore be understood as a documentary artifact of early American paper money production rather than as functional currency. It illustrates the reliance on stock engravings, the informal nature of many local monetary experiments during the Panic era, and the fragile boundary between intended issuance and abandoned production in the decentralized banking environment of antebellum America. As such, it stands as museum grade evidence of the mechanics and uncertainties that characterized United States currency before the establishment of centralized monetary control.
