The 10 dollar note has the Bank name RED CREEK written on it. I have seen a picture of it but want the real thing. I know about 99.9999999999999% of you will never find one but if anybody hears about it let me know. Thanks
was this a national bank note for the US? If so, what state was it in?? a quick search on the net, i didnt find anything talking about a $10 note from Red Creek.....
Of course not! If anything it is the smallest bank in the world and closed Years ago. It was in New York but as I said closed. And sorry this is in the wrong place... But if anything comes up here I am.
Calm down - just trying to help I figured it was closed. Since the note had the name of the bank on it - it was A) a national bank note, B) a confedarate bank note (which since you said it was from new york its not this one) C) a bank who issued its own currency before the adoption of federal regulations and chartering. While not all bank that issued NBN's are closed, most of them are either closed, or merged with others banks rendering the name as obsolete or effectively closed (no longer operating under that name). Most if not all banks that were in buisiness before the adoption of the regulations halting the production of bank backed currency and the requirement of fereal chartering are closed. So the odds of Red creek bank being closed were very high. Now, since as you said, it was not a NBN, and it was in New York, i would have to assume that it was one of those banks issuing money prior to all those pesky regulations. I did find Red Creeks Charter number (10781) so that tells me they did register for a charter number sometime in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd charter period 1863-1935. Now banks who were federaly charted were allowed to print and distribute currency equal to some percentage of their deposits. Weather or not they actually did was up to them. So as you said, The red creek bill in question was NOT a NBN, then it was printed prior to its chartering, which means prior to 1863 (the first charter period). Well at least now - armed with all this additional information that you did not initialy provide - people will have a better chance of helping you. Good luck!!
thanks but the picture i found of the note had the date 1915 so somethings wrong there but thanks for all the info, and keep an eye out
Having the date of 1915 doesnt mean something is wrong, it just means that it is in fact a NBN (National Bank Note). The note you saw was from the 3rd charter period (april12, 1902 to april 11, 1922). the note you saw with a date of 1915 is ok as long as it fits the description of having a blue seal with the dual date of 1902-1908 on either side of the statuette on the back of the bill. (the bills with this dual date were printed between 1908 and 1916) Do you have a link to the picture you found? if so can you post it??
i have it in a book and my scanner is down so is the computer i use it on... and it was in black and white so i couldn't tell you whether or not it is blue it also doesnt show the back and is so blurryu that i cant make out what looks to look like a seal. there is the portrait of mckinely on the front if thats any help
All $10 notes from the 3rd charter period have mckinely on the front. An interesting note for sure. The values in my note book show that note to be around 100 +/-, but if you factor in that the bank in question was such a small bank, with a presumably small printage... that just might drive up the price on any purchases go figure
100 dollars! Whoa! I won't be able to afford that! Maybe I can find it from someone who doesn't know the price.
