The Lansing National Bank Of Lansing in Michigan printed 2,080 sheets of $10 original series national bank notes. A print range between 1,000 and 2,500 is small.

Each $10 bill was pen signed by the president and cashier of the bank. Small towns and large cities both issued these notes. Of course the small town issuers tend to be scarcer today.

These notes occasionally confuse novices because the year 1752 is printed on them. That is when Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. It has nothing to do with when these bank notes were issued.
