Berkeley, California. $10 1902 Plain Back. Fr. 632. College NB. Charter #11495. PMG Choice Fine 15.
Hailing from the penultimate bank to charter within the confines of Berkeley during the National-Banking-era, the bank title for this institution is fitting for a city synonymous with higher education in the United States. Chartered in 1919, the College National Bank ceased operations in 1929 after falling victim to liquidation and having its remaining assets absorbed by the American Trust Company out of San Francisco. This institution which issued solely $10-$10-$10-$20 sheets can represented in the present by 11 notes recorded by the National Bank Note Census. A population which has made only infrequent appearances at auction in recent decades with this example being the first to be publicly offered since September 2019.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00
