The second note was lot 2677 in Goldberg sale 62 (Beverly Hills, February 2010), where it sold for $1,150. The catalog description[1] noted, "1929, $10 National Bank Note. The First NB, Anaheim, CA. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20. Much rarer in small size than in large, with only four small size notes currently reported in the census, this bank folded in January, 1930, just as the financial panic that soon gripped the nation began to unfold. This note has a small edge tear at the top right of center, as mentioned by PCGS Currency, otherwise it is actually quite nice. Rare, and with two pieces here offered it may be a while before collectors have another chance." This note was previously lot 17590 in Heritage auction 354 (the Horwedel sale, Long Beach, CA, September 2004), where it sold for $1,150.
