<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Revello, post: 8408119, member: 103898&quot;]The Bank of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia had an interesting and somewhat sordid history, from my quick research.&nbsp; Founded in 1793 as a state chartered bank, its closure in 1857 was the catalyst for the financial panic of 1857 that caused a significant run on banks.&nbsp; Purportedly, the relatively recently appointed President of the bank used it as his personal source of funds to cure his financial woes (supposedly misappropriation of over a million dollars for his personal use). Below is a link to a brief history of the Panic of 1857.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjKgd7wwdr4AhXAlWoFHXFJATAQFnoECAUQAQ&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fjournals.psu.edu%2Fphj%2Farticle%2Fdownload%2F21016%2F20785&amp;usg=AOvVaw3kBOb3UD5Y8IPYrggo_dpX" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjKgd7wwdr4AhXAlWoFHXFJATAQFnoECAUQAQ&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fjournals.psu.edu%2Fphj%2Farticle%2Fdownload%2F21016%2F20785&amp;usg=AOvVaw3kBOb3UD5Y8IPYrggo_dpX" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjKgd7wwdr4AhXAlWoFHXFJATAQFnoECAUQAQ&amp;url=https://journals.psu.edu/phj/article/download/21016/20785&amp;usg=AOvVaw3kBOb3UD5Y8IPYrggo_dpX</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The bank was built in either 1799 or 1800, with architectural design by Benjamin Latrobe using a Greek Revival design.&nbsp; See drawing of what the bank looked like.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1491512[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are several bills either sold or up for sale that were issued by the Bank of Pennsylvania, ranging from one currently on sale on Ebay and Golden Eagle websites, and a couple that were in Choice or Gem condition in Stacks Bowers auction on April 7, 2022, as Lots 20027 and 20028.&nbsp; Those bills were either 1833 bills (Ebay and Golden Eagle), or in the 1850&#039;s in higher denominations (Stacks Bowers lots).</p><p><br /></p><p>Links:</p><p><br /></p><p>1833 $10 bill – Golden Eagle Coins – for $125</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.goldeneaglecoin.com/item/pennsylvania-philadelphia-1833-bank-of-pennsylvania-pa480-c96-vg-tape" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.goldeneaglecoin.com/item/pennsylvania-philadelphia-1833-bank-of-pennsylvania-pa480-c96-vg-tape" rel="nofollow">https://www.goldeneaglecoin.com/item/pennsylvania-philadelphia-1833-bank-of-pennsylvania-pa480-c96-vg-tape</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1833 $10 bill on Ebay for $105</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/363363338978" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/363363338978" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/363363338978</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>2 lots in Stacks Bowers Auction on April 7, 2022</p><p><br /></p><p>Lots 20027 and 20028, from 1850’s in higher denomination, in Choice and Gem Uncirculated Condition</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/auctions/3-VJ277/the-spring-2022-auction-session-7-us-currency-lots-20001-20550?limit=96" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/auctions/3-VJ277/the-spring-2022-auction-session-7-us-currency-lots-20001-20550?limit=96" rel="nofollow">https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/auctions/3-VJ277/the-spring-2022-auction-session-7-us-currency-lots-20001-20550?limit=96</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, posting a enlarged photo of your $10 bill for closer inspection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1491513[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
