MARYLAND NATIONALS

*NEW* 1929 Type 1 $10 - Cambridge, MD (2498) VF

Cambridge is one of the beautiful gateway towns into the eastern shore region
of Maryland.  Known for its canneries and history as a farming center, Cambridge
is an up and coming town that once bit a sour taste of poor economic status.
Cambridge notes are increasingly difficult to locate in any auction setting, especially
those of the large sized and large denominations.

1929 Type 1 $20 - Easton, MD (1434) VF

A recent find that I'm just now getting to displaying.  Easton nationals
are probably the easiest "Eastern Shore" towns to find in the open market.
But don't let that fool you, reasonably priced examples are generally a
bear to obtain because this region is so popular and widely collected.

 1902 Plain Back $5 - Denton, MD (2547) PCGS XF40

Here's a new beauty for the collection.  Acquired from Harford Coins in Baltimore in the summer of 2013.
This is a nice quality note with very little holding it down, I found out why it didn't receive a PPQ designation
because of an errant pin hole next to the left charter number.  In any event, this note is available in the
market in both large and small, but high graded and condition sensitive notes of  this ilk can be scarce.
