Coming soon (sooner than later I hope), additions to the Warren Ch. 4879 set.  Several notes were submitted last month (October) in Baltimore.  I've been checking about every day to see if they have progressed past 'received'.  I'll let you know how my grades stack up against PMG's grades.  The Warren notes will end up in my signature set and I'll be able to add an example with RW MacKay as cashier.  I have a copy of Kelly's reference on order, so I should know more about these and other bank officer signature possibilities.

I've learned that the BEP printed the backs in quantity awaiting orders from banks.  In this case, Salem ordered sheets of $10 $10 $10 $20 and likely there was a supply of backs probably printed at least 8 notes and maybe 16 notes (so for 16 notes, 4 would be $20s and thus 4 possible back plate (bp) numbers).  When printing Salem 43's order which including SN's 5226 and 7, the backs selected happened to have different bp numbers.  They could have had the same bp numbers and depending on how sheets were cut and stacked maybe it's more likely they should have had the same bp numbers, but not really an oddity that they do not.  An alternative would be the notes were from two different orders from Salem, but I don't think that's very likely (actually, not possible since the treasury SNs are also sequential).  Now, if you come across the $10s with SN 5226 and 5227, they better not have the same bp numbers (if they have the same front plate that is).

These Pilgrims almost look shipwrecked on the back of a $5 National Series of 1902 (plain back in this case)

yes, these notes will be together for awhile.  What I really want is the SN 5225 note.  Then I'd have 3 consecutive notes and the 5225 is a 4-digit radar!  I suspect the odds are against me there.  

I think the blue hue is from my scanner.  The holders are in quite good shape, so I suspect I rescued them from the show circuit early before the holders received much wear.  What do you think of the grades?  SN 5227 is nicer in my opinion.

I'm still hoping the original owner sees my post.  Anyway, I appreciate the comments!!

My attempt with Warren, PA The Warren NB Ch. # 4879 and various signatures is here--it's a work in progress though. https://notes.www.collectors-society.com/registry/notes/ViewPersonalCollection.aspx?UserCollectionID=1184&Tab=list

I like notes with different cashier and president combinations.  And I especially like charters where there are two different signature combinations for a denomination so there are more than one Fr. # for a given denomination.  Not sure if there was ever 3 or more...???  Not sure--I don't see the collage???

great milestone!

I have a Warren, PA collection, also not a difficult note to find and it's close to Pittsburgh.  I like first name towns although the town was named for a general with a last name of Warren.  For Charter 4879, there are at least two Cashier/President signature combos (R.W. Mackay and F.E. Hertzel; N. C. Gill and F.E. Hertzel) on series 1902 PBs.  I only have a $5 note in a PMG holder; it's in a signature set.  I plan to submit at least the $10 one day.

That is a tough note to find in small.  

Yes, fairly quiet here especially for nationals.  Nice note!  I like the mis-placed town name of Paris.
