Cleves, Ohio. $20 1902 Date Back. Fr. 642. Hamilton County NB. Charter #7456. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45.
A scarce charter by the standards of the Buckeye State, and one that is even rarer in large size. In business from 1904 through 1933 one would assume at first that large size notes would make for a common sight from here, but with Nationals there will always be exceptions to common wisdom like this note. A total of three large size notes are currently recorded from this charter which once operated within this small community in Hamilton County just west of Cincinnati. With Cincinnati close by and the multitude of banks which served Cincinnati, the need for currency in Cleves was likely not pressing and relatively few notes from the Hamilton County National Bank made their way to circulation unlike those issued in many of the communities and small cities spread throughout Ohio. Serious consideration from the Ohio specialist should be given to this note which stands as the sole $20 Plain Back from here despite not yet being recorded on the National Bank Note Census as of this writing.
