This thread is a companion to "Identification of Series of 1882 and 1902 National Bank Replacement Notes Printed in the 1903-1915 Period" in the September-October edition of Paper Money. Please report your discoveries here.
Be sure to check out my blog series for summary statistics.
For starters, I'll post the favorite LSRN that I have, a $20 Date Back on Hartford, Michigan. The use of old style fonts is pretty obvious on this one.
Re: Post your Large Size Replacement Nationals
Here is another close favorite of mine. A very common bank, but fairly scarce as a replacement.
Re: Post your Large Size Replacement Nationals
I can add 2 of these, a "common" #1 RS and a DB $50.
Is there a listing of all reported replacements available? Thanks!

Re: Post your Large Size Replacement Nationals
Thanks for posting these. Eventually the list will make its way to the NBN Census database, where notes will be flagged as replacements.
Re: Post your Large Size Replacement Nationals
Here's a nice Brown Back replacement that I picked up recently. It is from the first sheet of a printing run, N639141N-N640140N, 25901-26900.
Re: Post your Large Size Replacement Nationals
Here's a nice #1 replacement 1902 Date Back.
Re: Post your Large Size Replacement Nationals
This replacement Plain Back was found on eBay in August.
Re: Post your Large Size Replacement Nationals
1902 PB replacement. The bank changed its title in 1919 to "First National" from "Third National." The "3" is the indicator.
BTW, in looking thru my notes, I noticed that the inking on later PBs seems consistently lighter than earlier ones resulting in numbers that look thinner. I wonder if you've noticed this as well or perhaps its just the result of a small sample size...
