<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 294595, member: 6986&quot;]There are a couple of sources for information on Nationals.&nbsp; As mentioned in a previous response, Don Kelly&#039;s book or CD is considered the Bible for Nationals.&nbsp; It is my understanding that the census information in the Kelly book is based on the records of the Comptroller of the Currency.&nbsp; These records show the number of notes delivered to each bank, the number the bank issued and the number that have not been presented for redemption.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Kelly numbers should represent the maximum number of notes that could still exist.&nbsp; This does not mean that they all still exist or are otherwise accounted for.&nbsp; A note that was destroyed in a fire would still show in the records (and the Kelly book) as being unredeemed but would no longer exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a single National from a local bank.&nbsp; The Kelly book says there are 4 outstanding of that type (date and denomination).&nbsp; I was at a small, local coin show last month.&nbsp; The other 3 notes were on the bourse in cases of two different dealers!</p><p><br /></p><p>The Kelly book and CD are not free.&nbsp; I found an old one at a used book sale at the local library.&nbsp; The prices are out of date but the census information is still good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
