The Bank of Beaver County of New Brighton, Pennsylvania was established in 1858 and became the National Bank of Beaver County in 1864, then closed in 1884 (Source: Hoober). Hoober lists denominations of $5 and $10 for this bank with 3 varieties of $5 notes and 2 varieties of $10 notes. All of these notes have rarity values of 4.
The Hoober catalog numbers of these notes are as follows:
Hoober ID Denomination Ink Colors
265-1 $5 Black
265-2 $5 Black and Red
265-3 $5 Black and Red
265-4 $10 Black
265-5 $10 Black and Red
Haxby, on the other hand, claims that there were only 4 total varieties from this bank, two $5 notes and two $10 notes. He also lists 3 other varieties as altered notes however (Source: Haxby). This makes a total of 4 different $5 notes, 2 different $10 notes and 1 $20 note for a grand total of 7 different notes to make a set, with 4 genuine notes and 3 altered notes.
