Edinburg
The First National Bank of Edinburg
Edinburg is the
county seat of Hidalgo County, about 17 miles north of the Rio
Grande on US 281.
This is the building today.
The First National Bank of Edinburg
was chartered 13315, April, 1929 and ceased business February
2, 1934.
The bank issued 1929 Types 1 &
2.
The census records forty notes,
most in five Uncirculated sheets (6 notes each). There
is a sheet of $5 Type 1's and another of $10 notes. There are
three sheets of Type 2's in the $5, $10, and $20 denominations.
That leaves these: one Very Fine 1929 Type 1 $5 note,
three Type 1 $10 notes, and five $20 Type 1's. Lastly, there
is one $10 Type 2. The Philpott-Moody Collection has no Edinburg
note.
This $20 Type 1 sold in a Lyn Knight
Currency Auction June, 2014, for $747.
