Notes from West Coast charters like this one are especially popular due to their historical importance and strong collector demand. Time-Period Insight: This note was issued just a few years before the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which destroyed much of the city’s banking infrastructure. Many National Bank Notes from San Francisco were lost in vault collapses and fires, making surviving examples particularly desirable. The Anglo & London Paris National Bank itself ceased operations in the early 20th century, adding to the scarcity of its surviving currency. Collectibility: Large-size $10 National Bank Notes from major financial centers such as San Francisco are highly sought after, especially when certified in Extremely Fine condition. The combination of a desirable denomination, West Coast charter, and strong eye appeal makes this an excellent addition to any advanced U.S. paper money or National Currency collection.
