Ex - Heritage Numismatic Auctions,
Inc.'s "Texas Collection," January 4, 2001, Lot 4160, where it
was described as follows: "1875 $10 First Charter, Fr-420, Fine+.
This beautiful example is well centered and retains some crispness.
There are normal signs of circulation present on each side, and the
reverse is slightly discolored. The signatures are missing. Overall, the
appearance is above average for the issue, and as all specialists will
realize, a First Charter $10 from Texas is a major rarity in any
condition. We expect spirited bidding on this note, as we doubt another
will appear on the market in the near future. This bank was chartered in
1881, and was in business for fifty years until it went into
receivership in 1931 during the midst of the Great Depression."
