The 1902 series National Bank Notes were issued by over 12,000 individual chartered banks across the United States, each printing its own name, charter number, and officers' signatures onto a federally produced sheet. That decentralized model makes collecting by issuing bank — rather than by series — the dominant approach, since notes from small-town banks in low-population states like Nevada or Wyoming were printed in tiny quantities and rarely survived circulation.
The series ran through three distinct subtypes distinguished primarily by the presence or absence of the "1902-1908" date panel on the reverse. The third subtype, running to 1927, was produced after that panel was removed. At the $100 denomination, surviving examples from any subtype are scarce; most national bank note collections are built around the lower denominations where more notes entered daily commerce.
