<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bradley Trotter, post: 8094818, member: 101226&quot;]Granted, I don&#039;t get to attend many shows. Still, of the few shows that I typically attend yearly, the biannual Gallatin Coin &amp; 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.</p><p><br /></p><p>1914 $50 Federal Reserve Note (Philadelphia) White/Mellon</p><p><br /></p><p>Face: </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407104[/ATTACH]</p><p>Reverse: </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407105[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>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 <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-recent-purchase-and-a-bit-of-history-1929-50-national-bank-note-nashville-tn.389583/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-recent-purchase-and-a-bit-of-history-1929-50-national-bank-note-nashville-tn.389583/">recent thread</a> 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&#039;s newest expansion team, the Nashville Predators, was unveiled depicting a saber-toothed cat like the one discovered in 1971.</p><p><br /></p><p>1929 $20 National Bank Note (Nashville, Tennessee) Charter No. 3032</p><p><br /></p><p>Face: </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407109[/ATTACH] </p><p>Reverse: </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407111[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The second of these $20s hails from the First National Bank of Memphis.
