This block is about all that is left of the old Pleasanton ... and likely no bank here.

The First National Bank of Pleasanton was chartered number 8103 in 1906, and it stopped printing currency on January 24, 1933.

There are seven notes in the census: one 1902 Date Back, two 1902 Plain Backs, and four 1929 Type 1's. One 1902 Plain Back is in the Philpott-Moody Collection.

This 1902 Red Seal, new to the census, sold at the StacksBowers American Numismatic Association auction, August, 2019, for $13,200.

"It's hard to believe that you could have been collecting since Barney Bluestone sold the Grinnell collection in the 1940s, and today would be the first time you had the opportunity to acquire a Pleasanton, TX large size at auction. Before this was discovered in a Houston area cash hoard, there were just three large notes known on this one bank town. Those three are all blue seals. One is listed without a grade; one is listed without serial numbers and is in the Philpott-Moody holdings, and the last one is a mundane late issue Plain Back listed as Fine. The red seal we are auctioning is certainly the most desirable, and its best quality is that it is available. PMG has assigned the note a problem free 15 grade."
