Description
1929 Series $10 • The First National Bank of Wilkes‑Barre, Pennsylvania
Charter #30 • Type 1 • Serial F6159A
This 1929 Series $10 from The First National Bank of Wilkes‑Barre, Pennsylvania comes from one of the earliest chartered institutions in the National Bank system—Charter #30, a number that always adds collector appeal. Wilkes‑Barre sits at the edge of the greater Pocono region, an area known for its expansive 2,400‑square‑mile plateau, wooded hills, and long history as a recreation destination for millions from the New York metropolitan area.
The Poconos, often referred to as a mountain range but technically part of the Allegheny Plateau, have shaped the region’s identity for generations—fishing, hunting, skiing, and resort culture all contributing to its enduring popularity.
For this Wilkes‑Barre title, 160 small‑size notes are recorded, along with 48 large‑size examples. We grade this note Fine, with no pinholes, tears, or distracting issues, and strong overall integrity for the type.
A solid mid‑grade survivor from a low charter number bank—ideal for collectors building out a Pennsylvania set or seeking early‑charter Type 1 representation.
