Corona National Bank, California
This specimen was lot 21128 in Heritage auction 3576 (Orlando, FL, January 2020), where it sold for $2,880. The catalog description[1] noted,
"One of Two Known, Corona, CA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 626 The Corona NB Ch. # (P)8436 PMG Very Fine 20. A great Riverside County note from a bank which issued large notes only before the receiver arrived to shut the doors forever in 1925. To date, just two pieces are reported from here, a $20 Plain Back that we sold last year for $6,000, and this $10 Plain Back that was part of the Charley Colver collection that we sold twenty years ago. It has seen its share of circulation and has had some minor repairs but it maintains an overall pleasing appearance with nice color and signatures. It provides another opportunity for the disappointed underbidders from our 2018 FUN auction to acquire this excessively rare charter. Also included with the lot is a plethora of related material including three postcard views of the bank and two cancelled checks from 1919. From the Norris Turner Collection."
