I have an America$10 bill printed by Claremont National Bank, Claremont, N.H., series 1929.

Question

Other information on the bill:

It reads "National currency. Secured by United States Bonds Deposited with the Treasurer of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"

"Redeemable in lawful money of the United States at United States Treasury or at the bank of issue"

Numbers on the bill are: A001578 13829

Register of the treasury seems to be signed E. E. Jones/ Cashier signed by Geo N Barrett/ President signed by F.W. Johnston

Any history on this will be apprieciated.

Answer 1

That is called a National Bank Note. There is a separate sub-category for them on eBay, and they are a rather popular collectible. These were issued by many US National banks until 1934.

New Hampshire notes tend to sell better than most, too.

Yours is classified as a 1929 Type 2 because it has the charter number of the bank in brown next to the serial number.

Here is a link to the National Bank Notes category on eBay:

And here is a link to a prominent dealer's inventory:

He had two notes from Claremont listed, but not the same bank and both over $300 (note that condition makes a big difference in price)

Here is another dealer's inventory - three from Claremont, but not the same bank:

Based on what I've seen here, yours should retail for a minimum of $300, more if in better grade. Very nice.
