Horse Cave, Kentucky. $10 1902 Plain Back. Fr. 624. The First NB. Charter #7602. PMG Very Fine 25.If you are one of the collectors lucky enough to not be limited by a geographic or banknote type specialty and are freethinking enough to just buy what you like, then carefully consider this VF blue seal from Horse Cave, KY. While there may not be 100 people outside the state of Kentucky who know where Horse Cave is, you can bet anyone reading the ANA nationals section of this catalog can tell you all about Horse Cave. The town had a single national bank, and its issues are some of the favorites of collectors who specialize in unusual town names. This is a new addition to the census and it becomes just the tenth recorded blue seal. Red seals were issued, with none reported; two smalls exist. We sold a less than pretty VG 10 blue seal in 2016 for $12,337.50. The note offered tonight has boatloads more eye appeal and is being sold in a market where it seems like there is a never-ending demand for fresh and interesting national banknotes. This is certainly a great piece if you need an ice-breaker at your table or a meaningful and very liquid addition to your box of 20.
