- Salem, MA - Exchange Bank $2 Aug. 11, 1858 MA-1105 G16 SENC. PCGS Very Fine 35 Apparent. Genuine notes from Salem's Exchange Bank are exceedingly rare and are all designated SENC in Haxby. This is another very impressively designed and unusual rarity from Massachusetts. The face of the note has the dual imprints of the New England Bank Note Company and Patent Stereotype Steel Plate. The note's dynamic design is complex and worthy of close study. Seated in the harbor, on a throne, is facing Athena. The shoreline is to her left and right, and the open ocean behind. At the left is standing Athena as America, and at the right is a standing female representing Navigation and Plenty. The corners have various counters, and flanking the center are partially outlined, but large, "2" protectors. The layout and protectors would have made it impossible to raise the denomination. A red protector TWO is at the bottom. A lightly penned notation shows that the note was "cancelled." It is interesting that a four-note lower denomination set (including a similar $2 note) exists of this distinctive and exceedingly rare series. All are illustrated in the Whitman Encyclopedia: Volume 4 with images contributed by the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem. This is museum caliber as well, and the $3 note from this series sold in the Newman Part VI sale in April 2015 for $3,290 (PCGS Very Fine 20). Noted as "Pen Cancelled" and with "Mounting Remnants on Back." This is a very crisp, vibrant note and superior in many respects to the $3 note from the Newman VI sale. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $3055.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18405. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Salem, MA - Commercial Bank $2 Jan. 1, 1860 MA-1095 G24a SENC. PCGS Very Fine 20. Salem was a bustling port and banking center during the evolution of American commerce. The city hugs the coast north of Boston and is well known for author Nathanial Hawthorne and the 17th century witch trials. This is one of the rarest banks from which to obtain an issued note. Cleverly titled for this business center; and indeed, this note is visually striking. Although printed by the American Bank Note Company, the original base plate was engraved by the New England Bank Note Co. Seated Commerce appears at top center, holding a bolt of cloth and gesturing. At lower left, two Native American hunters on a cliff survey the civilization encroaching. At lower right, a young woman at the shore prepares to use her telescope. The bottom center shows a bold green oblong die with outlined TWO. The upper corners use different green dies. Well margined and with superb color. Another inspiring rarity from this state. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2350.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18404. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Randolph, MA - Randolph Bank $1 Oct. 1, 1862 MA-1045 G2. PCGS Fine 15. The Randolph Bank was succeeded by the Randolph National Bank in 1864 and redeemed most of its notes from this series. Printed from plates engraved by the New England Bank Note Co. much earlier, but with an added "ABC" monogram at the bottom left. Industriousness is the theme of the imagery on this note. To the left of the "1" counter at top center, a father and son harvest wheat. A busy beehive is to the right. The end panel at right shows finished leather footwear and components in a rectangle between a numerical and textual counter. A large "1" counter is at bottom left. A red protector ONE is across the center (as opposed to bottom center) and neatly positioned above a large gray ONE engraved on the plate. This sharp note is superior to the Haxby plate note and is one of very few issued notes known from the bank. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1175.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18403. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Pawtucket, MA - Pawtucket Bank $10 July 1, 1845 MA-970 G84 SENC. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This is another very rare bank, and the type was unreported until this note surfaced.

Under the TEN at the top of the right end panel, standing Minerva holds a large cornucopia with one hand and rudder with the other, symbolizing Plenty and Navigation. The left end panel has the Roman numeral "X" vertically between two "10" counters. A very large "10" filled with ornate scrollwork dominates the right side. Noted with "Minor Ink Erosion."
