1929 Series $10 • Second National Bank of Titusville, Pennsylvania
Charter #879 • Type 1 • Serial E003215A • Crawford County PCGS Very Fine 30 (Comment‑Free Holder)
This 1929 Series $10 from the Second National Bank of Titusville, Pennsylvania represents one of the most historically significant towns in American industrial development. Titusville—settled in 1796 by Jonathan Titus—grew slowly until the mid‑19th century, when the discovery of petroleum transformed the region forever.
In 1859, Col. Edwin L. Drake, working for the Seneca Oil Company, drilled the first commercially successful oil well just south of town along Oil Creek. This single event ignited the American oil industry, turning Titusville into a booming center of innovation, industry, and national attention.
This note carries the desirable three‑digit Charter #879, a popular range among Pennsylvania national collectors. Census data records 66 large‑size and 80 small‑size notes for this title—making it a collectible but not overly common Crawford County bank.
Graded PCGS Very Fine 30, this example shows average, honest circulation, strong paper integrity, and no distracting comments—a clean holder for the grade. Centering is pleasing, and the note retains solid eye appeal for a mid‑grade Type 1. The serial number E003215A adds a low‑number aesthetic bonus.
A historically rich, well‑preserved Titusville national—ideal for collectors building out Pennsylvania sets, early‑oil‑region banks, or three‑digit charter runs.
