1902 $10 Plain Back National - Uxbridge, MA (Charter 1022)

This 1902 $10 National Bank Note from The Blackstone National Bank of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, is a fascinating piece of American banking history. It was part of an era marked by the issuance of notes by individual banks, giving each note a unique story and character.

Graded Very Fine 25 by PMG, this note exhibits moderate circulation typical for its age, yet maintains its appeal. The portrait of William McKinley remains sharp, framed by ornate detailing that reflects its period's craftsmanship. The blue serial numbers and treasury seals are still quite vivid against the aged paper. The reverse displays the elegant allegorical figure, symbolizing prosperity, with rich green printing that holds strong despite some folds and creasing. The paper quality is solid.

Only 14 total large-sized notes are known for the bank, with only 5 1902 Plain Back $10s known in total. This is a scarce one! We hope it finds a delightful home with a MA-based National Bank Note collector (there's nothing more fun than sending notes like this back home to where they were born...)
