Gallatin Coin & Currency Show Pickups: 1 of 2 (A Trio of Banknotes)

Granted, I don't get to attend many shows. Still, of the few shows that I typically attend yearly, the biannual Gallatin Coin & Currency outside of Nashville is by far my favorite. With that being said, I was able to make several new additions to my collection, the first of these being a 1914 $50 Federal Reserve Note. In the case of this note, I was able to get it for next to nothing by trading in a host of duplicates and various low-grade notes. This is the second large-size $50 FRN that I possess, the other being a Fr. 1030 hailing from New York.

Next up would be a pair of $20 Nationals from Tennessee, the first of these being a Type 1 $20 from the American National Bank, which was the subject of a recent thread of mine. Regardless, the American National Bank of Nashville is also a part of NHL folklore. In 1971 during the construction of the First American Center (now known as the UBS Tower), the partial remains of a saber-toothed cat were discovered in an ancient cave that had been revealed during the early stages of construction. Consequently, in 1997, the logo for the NHL's newest expansion team, the Nashville Predators, was unveiled depicting a saber-toothed cat like the one discovered in 1971.

The second of these $20s hails from the First National Bank of Memphis. Unlike most National Banks in the South, the First National Bank of Memphis is one of the few banks in the region to issue National Bank Notes of both the Original Series and Series of 1875.

Very eye pleasing notes. Especially the $50

ya did good, kid.

 

You can't argue with the eye-appeal of a 1914 $50 FRN, now, can you? Besides, shouldn't you use a different GIF? I'm almost three years older than you.

Whatever. . . .
