Questions for those that collect Nationals

I buy mostly small sized Nationals, but I have bought some large Nationals. And researching the charter numbers in connection with the timing switch from the large to the small size notes, is there an accepted ending Charter Bank number for the large size notes?

My limited search revealed some charter numbers at 13200 (Santa Ana CA) and higher with the highest being 13292 which was the Brooklyn National Bank. I have found Charters at 13200 and higher in CA, MO, NY, PA, VT, WA and WI.

So is 13292 the highest Charter number available on a Large Note? I suspect there might be a premium for the large notes with late Charter numbers...Is that reasonable or are the charter numbers just not that important?

The latest large note I own is 12380 which is for a Bank in Camp Hill PA

    The highest charter number to receive large-size notes was charter 13307, The City National Bank and Trust Company of Niles, Michigan. The bank received 625 sheets of 1902 $10 plain backs.

    Brooklyn also hosted Charter 13304 - the Kingsboro NB - which also issued large size notes.
