National banks, such as the Northfield National Bank of Vermont, were required to deposit to the Treasury 5% of its circulation. All are in Fine-VF condition. Each piece is signed by Edward O.

After college, Graves joined the Office of Treasurer of the United States under Francis E. Spinner as a clerk. In 1868, he became chief clerk in the Treasurer's office. He later became chief examiner. On July 1, 1874, he became superintendent of the redemption agency for the redemption of national bank notes. In 1883, President of the United States Chester A. Arthur named Graves the Assistant Treasurer of the United States. (4)
