<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1341512, member: 19065&quot;]&quot;Surviving&quot;&nbsp; numbers would seem something <i>impossible</i> to know with any certainty, however, you can get a&nbsp; little idea by comparing certified notes&#039; population reports from&nbsp; grading companies, <a href="http://www.pmgnotes.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pmgnotes.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>PMG</b></a> and <a href="http://www.pcgscurrency.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgscurrency.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>PCGS Currency</b></a>. This will tell you somewhat about the numbers existing in graded notes so far submitted and encapsulated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Books are your next best bet... Don C. Kelly&#039;s book <i><a href="http://www.donckelly.com/books.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.donckelly.com/books.html" rel="nofollow">National Banknotes</a></i> is pretty much a collectors &#039;bible&#039; on the subject of Nationals. You can also get some idea of how much was out there from an older book, <i>The National Banknotes of 1929-1935</i>&nbsp; by Louis van Belkum (&amp; Peter Huntoon). These books can divulge some numbers in terms of what was issued&nbsp; originally by each bank so far as was known when the books were published. The last title you can find used&nbsp; online, check individual sellers listings on Amazon.com Marketplace, Abebooks, and the&nbsp; like.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are web sites you can pick through too, like: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.rarenationalcurrency.com/National_Bank_Note.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rarenationalcurrency.com/National_Bank_Note.html" rel="nofollow">Rare National Currency</a></p><p><a href="http://www.rarenationalcurrency.com/National_Bank_Note.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rarenationalcurrency.com/National_Bank_Note.html" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.antiquebanknotes.com/NationalCurrency/National-Bank-Information.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.antiquebanknotes.com/NationalCurrency/National-Bank-Information.aspx" rel="nofollow"><b>Antique Banknotes: National Bank Information</b></a></p><p><a href="http://www.antiquebanknotes.com/NationalCurrency/National-Bank-Information.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.antiquebanknotes.com/NationalCurrency/National-Bank-Information.aspx" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>Some specialty sites for specific FNBs exist too, for example:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.birminghammichiganbank.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.birminghammichiganbank.com/" rel="nofollow">Birmingham, Michigan</a></p><p><a href="http://www.birminghammichiganbank.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.birminghammichiganbank.com/" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="http://arizonanationalbanknotes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://arizonanationalbanknotes.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"></a></p><p><a href="http://arizonanationalbanknotes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://arizonanationalbanknotes.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Arizona NB</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
