My 1st National Bank Note: Just won this recently....have to do some research on the history of these bills, not familiar with their origin or what alot of the wording means on the face.
I know it says National Currency at the top of the note but collectors consider this a FRBN, not a National. Nice note !
I know it's rough, but I have a thing for notes from places I've lived. 1857 $5 Exchange Bank of Tennessee, Murfreesboro.
Thanks Steve...any primer posts here on FRBNs that you are aware of ? Otherwise, it's off to Wikepedia......
Most of what I know about FRBNs has come from reading Paper Money magazine. Available to all members of the Society of Paper Money Collectors (SPMC), which I highly recommend. https://www.spmc.org/
Barr ran for 28 days the second shortest term since 1893. William Rosecrans & Daniel Morgan ran together for 18 days.
It was part of a belated Christmas gift from my grandparents along with the Canadian shinplaster. They were unable to come for Christmas since they both tested positive for COVID-19 on December 19th. My grandfather has a thing for buying random things on eBay, especially cheap graded paper money. With that being said, I’ve received quite a few modern graded FRN’s from him over the years.

I had been in Thailand for two months and got back Dec. 20. When I am home in the states I buy blocks of new $1 and $2 bills and sell them on eBay. I love $2 bills and enjoy selling them and at times find packs or singles of star notes. I ordered a new block before I came home so they would be waiting for me when I got back. Unfortunately, at times the distribution center for my bank branches sends used bills instead of new. When the bank called, they told me they got used so I went and got them to go through them. I always take them and go through them to see what is in there. In one pack of used bills I pulled out the 8428 2009 star note showing very little wear and crisp. Then in another pack I found the two consecutive 8443 and 8444 notes that show almost no wear except for a little bend in the upper right corner and very crisp. Have thought about having them graded as they show very rare at the star note lookup site showing 128,000 made.
