Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $1 PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ.
This first of the Continentals has always been considered a scarce note. The print amounts were equal for all of the eight lowest denominations, but when this first issue "hit the streets," Continentals had been worth fully par, and the One Dollar note was the workhorse. These pieces circulated for years, and most of the ones that have survived are in very poor condition. Even without their heavy use in circulation, One Dollar would be a scarce denomination for Continentals, as it was only printed in the first four issues and the eleventh and final issue. This piece is tied for the finest that HCAA has ever offered, and, like virtually every note in this landmark collection, it was picked as much for eye appeal as for technical grade. Only three have been graded higher at the two major grading services. The consignor of this collection has owned two of the three and rejected both, opting to place this 45PPQ in his collection. It's extremely well margined, nicely printed and with two clearly legible signatures. This CC-1 is one of only two Continentals that is unpriced in Newman in the uncirculated grades.

12002

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 Counterfeit Detector Uncut Sheet of Eight Very Fine.
Heavily handled and folded rather hard between subjects. There are a number of short edge splits and two that don't quite categorize as short. A small piece of tape is present on the back of the $8 subject and there are a few minor internal splits. The reality of this sheet is that the visual appeal is massively better than the description makes it sound. As with most off-grade items in this wonderful collection, they are simply the best available. To our best knowledge, this is a unique detector sheet for this issue. All eight vignettes are wonderfully sharp, including the $7 rainstorm on the mountains which is often indistinct. An unfortunate fact, as the vignette provides a wonderful allegory as stated by Q. David Bowers in The Whitman Encyclopedia of U.S. Paper Money, "that war, now in progress, will eventually end."

12003

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $2 PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
PMG has not graded a single uncirculated example of a Two Dollar May 10, 1775. PCGS has graded only this lone note at 63PPQ, with a 55 its closest competitor. This is the finest yet graded by either service by a wide margin, and may hold its place as finest known for a long time to come. When raw notes are considered, this is also the finest example that HCAA has sold by a wide margin. The note has two strong signatures, a strong serial number, exceptional margins and a wonderful overall appearance.

12004

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $3 PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ.
As with the $1 and $2 of this issue, high-grade Three Dollar notes are extremely rare. The PMG census indicates a total of 68 Continentals graded through and including the Six Dollar denomination - with only a single uncirculated note among them. PCGS has graded only four uncirculated notes for the six lowest denominations. High-grade, low denomination May 10, 1775 Continentals are massively undervalued, and the advent of the grading services has given a true indication that those of us who always thought these notes to be extremely rare were correct. This note, while technically an EF, has the visual impact of a Choice New piece, with strong signatures, excellent margins, sharp printing and wonderful eye appeal. Certainly one of the very finest known.

12005

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $4 PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
A wonderful low-denomination Continental from this first issue. This is the first uncirculated example of this note that we have sold, and it's a beauty, with excellent margins, strong signatures, clear, original embossing and sharp print quality. The PMG census shows that they have not seen a single uncirculated example of this note. PCGS has graded this 63PPQ with the only other uncirculated note a 61. Selected by the consignor of The Collection of a Patriotic American, not merely for technical grade (although this is the finest graded by either service), but primarily with an eye toward appearance. An outstanding example.

12006

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $5 PCGS About New 50.
From the Five Dollar on up, notes from this issue are seen with more frequency. This Five has much of the appearance of a Choice New example, with just a few corner bumps holding down the grade and a small brown spot preventing the PPQ.

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $8 PCGS Choice New 63.
Incredibly sharp printing and strong signatures highlight this first-issue Eight Dollar. The vignette of a thirteen-string harp is unusually sharp. It's surrounded by the Latin motto, MAJORA MINORIBUS CONSONANT, which Newman translates as, "The large colonies and the small colonies are in harmony."

12010

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $20 PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
Far and away the highlight of The Collection of a Patriotic American. This marbled-edge $20 is the most distinctive and rarest of all the Continentals. It is the only piece of the 102 different notes that has a different shape, size, paper, and color. Benjamin Franklin procured this distinctive marbled edge paper from his contacts in Paris. The note is not terribly rare in lower grade, but the paper was soft and weak, and very few examples are known that are not damaged and/or restored. This can be clearly seen by the PCGS census which indicates that they have graded fifteen examples with all but two going into "APPARENT" (formerly red) holders indicating major problems. PMG does not break out its "NET" graded notes, but of the twenty examples that they have seen, the same proportion of damaged notes likely exists.

This PCGS 58PPQ shows not a hint of a split, edge nick, or repair of any kind. The Franklin supplied paper was far whiter than that used for any other Continental- a feature which allows the marbling at the left edge to show to its greatest advantage. The marbling (also called polychroming) on this note is particularly wide and brilliantly colored. Both signatures also retain their full color. The note has clearly seen not a touch of circulation and is held from the Choice New grade by a single very light fold that falls about half way between the marbled edge and the serial number. This cataloger has written descriptions for any number of notes that have realized over $500,000. And while this note is not yet in that class for price, it blows those other pieces away for true historic value. Irreplaceable.

12011

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $20 Counterfeit Detector PCGS Choice About New 58.
One of the highlights of this collection. This $20 May 10, 1775 Counterfeit Detector is one of only two examples known to exist, and this spectacular piece is the only one likely to ever be available to collectors as the only other example is in the hands of The Colonial Williamsburg Museum. This note is beautifully margined, and right at the cusp of Gem Uncirculated, save for a minor sheet fold about a quarter of an inch from the bottom margin. The words "to detect Counterfeits" is handwritten across the area reserved for the signatures. The print quality is incredibly sharp allowing the full intended design to be easily seen. As with the signed and issued notes, the back design is inverted on this detector. The term "only available when great collections are sold" tends to be over used, but it certainly applies here. In fact, "only available when this collection is sold" would be more to the point as this is the only privately held example.

12012

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $30 PCGS New 62PPQ.
This is the only Continental denomination with a double vignette rather than the nature print on the back. The twin vignettes on the back of the Thirty Dollar denomination were utilized on 5 different issues: May 10, 1775, July 22, 1776, November 2, 1776, February 26, 1777 and May 20, 1777. The $30 notes in the final issues utilized nature prints on the backs. The double vignettes are the same two vignettes that appear face and back on the Twenty Dollar May 10, 1775 marbled edge note. Both were designed by Franklin, and Franklin's original sketch for the VI CONCITATE vignette appears on page 78 of the Fifth Edition Newman. The note is remarkably sharply printed, with strong signatures and tremendous eye appeal. This 62PPQ is the lone uncirculated example graded to date by PCGS.

12013

Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $30 Contemporary Counterfeit PCGS Very Fine 20.
This is the only counterfeit listed in Newman for this issue. It has all the characteristics he mentions and it is a perfect match to the photo on page 464. Counterfeits are known for all eleven issues of Continentals (as well as for two fictitious issue dates) but they are almost never seen from this first issue. This is a very nice example, and the assigned grade looks to be a touch on the conservative side.
From The Collection of a Patriotic American

12014

Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $1 PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
As with the previous issue, the One Dollar denomination has a lower survival rate and is seen in high grade only rarely. This is the highest-graded example from either service, and would not be surprised if it proves over the years to be the finest known. The margins are large and even, the printing is razor sharp and the signature and serial number are as bright as they were the day they were applied. One of the finest One Dollar Continentals we've seen from any issue. Irreplaceably rare. This is the highest yet graded by PCGS, with the only other uncirculated note below it a 63. PMG has not graded a single uncirculated example.
From The Collection of a Patriotic American

12015

Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $2 PCGS About New 53.
Two minor sheet folds at the very top and bottom of the note no doubt account for the grade. This note is from the same sheet as the One Dollar above, and it is very nearly its visual (though not technical) equal. A handsome Continental.
From The Collection of a Patriotic American

12016

Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $3 PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
Another visually exceptional Continental, and this one has the technical merits as well as the eye appeal. The vignette is particularly sharp, showing all the original detail on the eagle and heron locked in combat. They're surrounded by the Latin motto, EXITUS IN DUBIO EST, which Newman translates as, "The outcome is in doubt." Only two uncirculated examples have been graded by PCGS; this and one other at the same level. PMG has yet to grade an uncirculated example.

12017

Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $4 PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
An incredibly sharp vignette highlights this spectacular looking Continental. A very light sheet fold across the top limits the technical grade, but the eye appeal is second to none. This pretty piece was previously Lot 12 in the New Netherlands December 1975 sale. The original lot tag is present.

12018

Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $5 PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
More available in the uncirculated grades than many of these Continentals, but very seldom seen with this combination of eye appeal and technical grade. The vignette shows even the most minute of engraving lines, and the signatures and paper color are extraordinary.

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1/6 Plate "A" PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
Of the 79 examples graded by the two major services, only six are uncirculated. PCGS has this and two others at the 63 PPQ level, with none higher. Fractional Continentals are incredibly popular, and are legitimately rare in the uncirculated grades. This "Plate A" example leads off a complete 12-piece set.

12024

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 Twenty Four Note Sheet Choice About New.
This complete fractional denomination sheet is neck and neck with the incredible marbled-edge $20 as the most significant item in The Collection of a Patriotic American. Each of the four denominations is present six times on the sheet. The only actual fold is between the two panes of twelve. These sheets were folded when produced and sewn together in groups. There are three needle holes right along the fold, but far away from any of the individual notes. Four or five of the notes would individually grade About New due to handling marks, but most all of the notes are simply perfect Gems. To our best knowledge, only three sheets exist. This is the finest of the three by a narrow margin, but its close competitor for finest known is permanently impounded in a museum. The third sheet has not been seen by this cataloger, but second-hand opinions tend to use the word "ratty" or "rag" giving the impression that it is not particularly nice.

Collectors have always been attracted to these fractional notes above all other Continentals, in part due to their uniqueness, but far more importantly people are drawn to their historic design featuring Ben Franklin's sundial vignette on the face and the thirteen chain links, containing the names of the original colonies, surrounding "We are One," on the back. These devices were adapted for the 1776 Continental Dollar coins and the 1787 Fugio Cent. This sheet is an irreplaceable treasure.

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1/6 Plate "C" PCGS Choice About New 55.

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1/6 (Raised to $6) Plate "A" PCGS Very Fine 25.
The only Raised Fractional Continental we know of, and one of very few raised notes in the entire Continental and Colonial field. Previously Lot 4534 from Stack's March 2007 sale of the massive inventory of dealer John Jay Ford, Jr. The note is quite well executed using a combination of pen alterations, paste-on and scrape aways. An incredibly important note for any collector of Continentals.

12027

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1/3 Plate "B" PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
But for the face margin being a touch tight along the left edge, this beauty would certainly have earned the full Gem grade. The print quality, signatures, paper color and original surfaces are all Superb. Both services combined have graded only nine uncirculated examples, with the majority of those in the 60 to 63 range. Very rare at this grade level, and rarer still with this spectacular eye appeal.

12028

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1/2 Plate "B" PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
PCGS has graded 41 of these, with only two uncirculated pieces: a single 61 and this lone 64PPQ. The margins are nice and even, the print quality is perfect and the original embossing readily apparent even through the third-party holder. A note that is likely to remain at the top of the PCGS census well into the future. Regardless of its numerical grade, the consignor of this collection favored this note over all his other fractional continentals...and it's easy to see why.

12031

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1/2 Plate "C" PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
These fractional denomination Continentals are found only in this one of the eleven different issues. Because of its connection with the Fugio Cent and the design elements that were suggested by Benjamin Franklin, these Fractional Continentals, although not rare in most grades, have remained one of the most treasured and highly collectible Continental issues. At this grade level, these notes are quite rare.

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1/2 Plate "A" PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ.
Both grading services have combined to certify a total of almost 90 examples, very few of which are in this range. The margins are somewhat irregular but clear of the design at all points, the signature and serial number are bright and strong, and the original embossing is readily apparent.

12033

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $2/3 Plate "C" PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
PMG has graded 42 examples, with this lone 65 EPQ the highest yet graded. PCGS has also graded 42 examples, also with a lone 65 at the top. This note is the highest graded Fractional Continental in The Collection of a Patriotic American. PMG and PCGS have graded a total of 340 Fractional Continentals, with only twelve of them at or above the 65 level. Superb print quality and a bright red signature are among the highlights of this beauty.

12034

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $2/3 Plate "A" PCGS Gem New 65.
PMG and PCGS have graded a total of 84 of these, with only seven uncirculated pieces, the highest of which are two 65's, one of which is this note. This is a gorgeous example of this perennially popular fractional issue. The face utilizes Ben Franklin's sun, sundial and "Mind Your Business" motto, and the back the same thirteen-link chain that is found on both Continental dollars and 1787 Fugio Cents. Well margined on both sides, with a bold red signature and serial number. An essentially perfect piece.

12035

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $2/3 Plate "B" PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
The Choice grade clearly resulted from the somewhat tight bottom face margin, as the note is Superb in every other sense. PCGS has graded only two examples higher than this, one of which is the note in the previous lot. The colors of this piece are perfect, as is the print quality and eye appeal. An extremely pleasing example.

12036

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $2/3 Plate "B" Contemporary Counterfeit PCGS Very Fine 35.
An extremely rare Counterfeit Fractional Continental. These appear only to have been produced for the $2/3 denomination. Newman describes two different pieces, of which this is the first. The other has no plate letter and no detailed description. It's known only from contemporary archives, and it appears likely that that is this same counterfeit which had the plate letter added after its initial use. In any event, this is an extremely rare counterfeit. It's one of only two examples we know of, the other is permanently impounded in a museum.

12037

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1 PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
The serial number and signatures are bold, and the entire note is sharply printed both face and back. The margins are huge all around both face and back, and the overall appearance is super. One Dollar Continentals are a more challenging denomination to locate as they were produced for only five of the eleven issues. Due to its low face value, the One Dollar note tended to circulate far more than the higher denominations, and most were lost. This beautiful piece should satisfy the fussiest of collectors.

12038

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 Half Sheet of Eight Extremely Fine-About New.
All eight denominations are represented on this bright and vibrant half sheet. The colors of the inks, paper and signatures are as good today as they were 234 years ago. We have handled one other half sheet from this issue, and know of a few others, but this piece from the Collection of a Patriotic American is the finest we know of by far. To be purely technical, several of the notes grade About New due to the sheet folds just kissing the outer edges of their borders, but each and every note has the look, color and embossing of a true Gem. This half sheet also has super sharp print quality on both sides, further adding to its magnetic visual allure.

12039

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 Counterfeit Detector Uncut Sheet of Eight Extremely Fine.
A more readily available Continental Detector half sheet, this one again has razor sharp print quality, including the nature prints. It has been folded lightly between subjects, but most of the individual notes grade at the least at About New. There is an edge split at the right, but it falls between the $6 and $7 examples and affects neither. What at first appears to be a stain on the $3 note is actually an inclusion of a very large piece of what appears to us to be previously woven fiber. A relatively inexpensive and historic half sheet.

12040

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $2 PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Sixty-six is the highest grade to be found in the collection, and this is one of the seven notes to reach that level. In spite of its lofty grade, it appears a point or two has been left on the table. The note is simply spectacular, with huge, even margins, ideal color, razor sharp printing and perfect signatures. Even the nature print and the cloth backing behind it show all of their fine lines. An extraordinary piece of Continental Currency we know someone will treasure. It's tied for finest graded at PCGS and PMG has yet to grade a single unc. at any level.

12042

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $4 PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Of nearly 40 pieces graded by both major services...this is the only 66. PCGS has graded 20 examples, with this piece on top by a wide margin. The next highest is a 63. It shares a serial number with the $2 and $3 above, and it may well be the finest example of a $4 Continental that this cataloger has ever laid eyes on. A simply spectacular note in every sense of the word, this note truly seems undergraded at the 66PPQ level. Wonderful.

Each service has graded fourteen examples; PMG has nothing at or above this 65 level, and PCGS has graded this lone 65 PPQ, with nothing above, and with a 63 its closest rival.

Neither service has graded an example above this 64 level. This note is certainly at the high end of the 64 grade, and it appears to us that it very easily could have been given an extra point. Clean, clear and beautiful, this February 1776 Seven Dollar is a standout in this or any collection.

Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $8 PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
The highest example graded by PCGS, and the only one at this level. The note is essentially flawless, and it compares very favorably to the $2, $3 and $4 66PPQ's at the beginning of this issue. The note is certainly in the running as the nicest Eight Dollar Continental this cataloger has ever seen. Very near perfection.

Continental Currency May 9, 1776 Uncut Complete Sheet of Sixteen Choice About New.
The highest quality full Continental sheet in The Collection of a Patriotic American. It does have the ubiquitous centerfold, along with the two always-present needle holes, but both are away from the notes themselves. There is another single very soft fold that turns four of the notes into Choice AU, but the other twelve notes are perfect Gems. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only full sheet known for this issue. There are at least three eight-note half sheets--two of which do not compare in quality to this, and the third example is permanently impounded in a museum and its grade is unknown. A wonderful combination of real rarity and extremely high quality.

Continental Currency May 9, 1776 Counterfeit Detector Uncut Sheet of Eight Extremely Fine-About New.
An outstanding condition half sheet which, although folded once in each direction, is totally free of splits and problems. Each of the notes are well printed as one would expect for a detector sheet and most, though not all, of the nature prints are sharp. Only about a half dozen detector sheets of this issue are known and this is well up within that group for condition and likely at the head of the class for appearance.

Although just short of the fully uncirculated grade, this note is a Gem for eye appeal. It's wonderfully margined, which is rare for Continentals but common for this collection. The signatures are dark and bold, and the printing, including the often-muddy nature print on the back, is very sharp.

A partial sheet fold visible only at the top left of the back held the grade down on this gloriously printed Continental. As with virtually every piece in this "Patriotic American" collection, the note is visually stunning. And the signatures are 100% fully bright. The finest yet graded at PCGS.

Continental Currency May 9, 1776 $4 PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
Even in a collection replete with visually appealing notes, this one is a standout. It's the perfect example of a theme that this writer has harped on for years. Technical grade should be secondary to visual appeal. While the About New grade is accurate (there is a minor fold at the bottom-right edge of the note), the appearance of this note is that of a Superb Gem. Every aspect of the printing is ultimately sharp and clear, even down to the foliage on the ground under the boar. Every line of the nature print is distinct, and the signatures and serial number look as though they were applied this morning. Two of the margins go all the way out to the edge of the sheet, and the "normal" margins are also outsize. A stunner.

Continental Currency May 9, 1776 $6 PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
We're not sure what the grading service saw that held this spectacular Continental away from the Gem grade. The 64PPQ tells us that the note is fully uncirculated and with exceptional paper quality. Once that's established, it's hard to imagine why this piece is not a Gem, as the margins, color and signature quality, as well as the centering, all scream 66. One heck of a beautiful Continental. The finest yet graded by two points.

Broad, even margins and terrific eye appeal come together on yet another simply outstanding Continental from this landmark collection.

The incredible printing quality is the highlight of this note. Every feature is clear, including all the detail of the ornaments on the back and every vein in the leaves of the nature print. PMG has graded thirteen of these, with none uncirculated. PCGS has graded only a single uncirculated note, with this lovely AU tied for second highest. It's also the highest graded PPQ or EPQ at either service.

Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $2 PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ.
To date, this is the highest grade assigned to this number by PMG. Neither service has reported an uncirculated note. The emblem on this $2 illustrates grain being threshed by a flail with the motto TRIBULATIO DITAT (affliction improves it). The detail is quite clear. The nature print is of three leaves: a raspberry and two filberts.

Continental Currency July 22, 1776 Counterfeit Detector Uncut Sheet of Eight Extremely Fine.
The visual appeal of this detector sheet is incomparable. The print sharpness is simply amazing and the sheet, although lightly folded, has none of the normal edge problems save for a truly minor split at the bottom center that does not touch any note. Individually the notes are AU, but they carry the look of pure Gems. An incredible display item.

Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $3 PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
The highest example graded by either service, and the highest PMG example above a low-end EF. In our experience, this July 22, 1776 issue is far scarcer than normally thought. In high grade, the scarcity is even more pronounced, as we've handled only a handful of truly uncirculated pieces from this issue in all our sales combined. This PMG 64 EPQ example appears to be a Gem in every respect save for rather close margins, which almost certainly account for the Choice grade. The $1500 valuation in the current Newman edition is in our opinion quite conservative. This piece was previously in our sale of the Midnight Ride Collection, which is indicated on the PMG holder.

Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $4 PCGS Very Choice New 64.
PCGS has graded only two uncirculated examples of this Four Dollar July 1776 issue: this sharply printed, Very Choice New 64 with a 60 the only other unc. PMG has not graded a single uncirculated example. We have always found this issue to be very challenging in high grade, and now, with over five years of grading at both major services, the census numbers agree.

12061

Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $5 PCGS About New 53PPQ.
Neither service has graded an uncirculated example of this note. In fact, for the entire issue of eight different denominations, both services combined have graded only fourteen uncirculated notes, most of which are at the low end of the grade. This note, while a technical grade of 53 certainly appears correct, has the appearance of a Superb Gem, with spectacular color, bold signatures and unusually broad, even margins all around on both sides.
From The Collection of a Patriotic American

12062

Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $6 PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
The highest graded example (along with the Three Dollar) for this issue in this collection. Both services together have graded only five 64's for all denominations combined of this issue, with nothing higher. This note is another ideally sharp beauty, with bright colors and broad margins.

This lovely 63PPQ is by far the highest example PCGS has graded. The next highest is a mid-grade AU-55. This piece has clearly earned its grade, with the colors and print quality that typify this unequalled collection. This is the highest grade example at either service, and the only uncirculated note seen by either service.

Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $30 PCGS New 62PPQ.
Two soft corners likely account for the 62 grade, but the note is far and away the finest looking example of this July 22, 1776 issue in the Patriotic American collection. The note has the appearance of a Superb Gem, with broad, even margins, bright paper colors, spectacular signatures and Proof-like sharpness to the print quality on both sides. If you are looking for a single spectacular piece from each of the Continental issues, ignore the technical grade and pursue this beauty.

Continental Currency November 2, 1776 Counterfeit Detector Uncut Sheet of Eight Extremely Fine.
All eight notes are well embossed, and extraordinarily well printed, as is virtually always the case with Detectors. The sheet itself has been folded with the folds falling almost entirely within the gutters between notes. Taken individually, the notes grade About New or Uncirculated. The sheet does have a short split at the bottom center and few tiny juncture holes, but the overall appearance is wonderful. Over the years, many (if not most) Continental sheets--both detectors and regular issue--have been cut to supply the demand for high-end individual pieces. Detector notes from this sixth Continental issue are particularly scarce.

Continental Currency November 2, 1776 $3 PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
The highest example graded by either service. PMG has no uncirculated notes at all, and PCGS has this lovely 64PPQ with a 62 the only other unc.

The highest yet graded by PCGS, with a single 62 below it. It's a very nicely margined note, strongly printed on both sides, with attractive colors and magnetic visual allure. A desirable Continental, with a razor sharp vignette showing a boar running onto a spear. The Latin motto surrounding the vignette translates to, "Either death or an honorable life."

Continental Currency November 2, 1776 $5 PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
The highest graded example from PCGS, and likely to remain there for a while, as this is a much tougher issue to locate in top grade. The note has a great look about it. The printing is remarkably sharp and the margins on both sides are large to jumbo at all points. Again, as most all the notes in this collection, the colors and signatures are ideal. Quite an important piece at this grade level.

One of only two Gem examples of this issue in The Collection of a Patriotic American. The note is a beauty, with unimpeachable color and engraving quality. Tied for the highest graded by PCGS, but interestingly, the entire November 2, 1776 issue has only two Six Dollar Gems and one other Gem for the entire issue. A note that would be extremely hard to top.

Continental Currency November 2, 1776 $7 PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
PCGS has graded only a single example higher, and while its technical grade is several points above this piece, it is not PPQ and it would be hard pressed to have a nicer appearance. This note is a beauty, and it appears to us to have missed the Gem designation simply due to a partial sheet fold visible only from the back.

Continental Currency February 26, 1777 $2 PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
This is the only uncirculated example graded by either service, and one of the highest-grade notes in the collection. The note is from the left edge of the sheet, with a margin on that side of well over 1/4". It's well printed, with the vignette on the face and the nature print on the back showing considerable detail. The 66 EPQ grade is, and always will be, elusive in Continentals, and we would not be at all surprised to see some very heated competition in an effort to take this finest-graded note home.

Continental Currency February 26, 1777 Counterfeit Detector Uncut Sheet of Eight Extremely Fine.
As always, all eight denominations are present on this half sheet. The sheet itself is folded between each note, and there are three minor edge splits that touch the design of only the $8 note. The original embossing is pronounced and the sharpness of printing is what would be expected for a detector sheet--which is to say virtually perfect. Taken individually, the notes all grade AU and better with most tending toward the 'better'.

Each of the eight different denominations are represented on this attractive half sheet. It's been folded between subjects with a rather hard fold vertically down the middle. This vertical fold has a few juncture holes that affect three of the notes. Save for those minor holes, the notes individually all grade About New. The paper is substantially bright and the notes are well signed and well printed. Extremely rare in sheet form. We are aware of the existence of only one other, and it is permanently impounded in a museum.

This high-end AU is the highest example yet graded by PCGS. It's a nicely margined note, and the reason for the 58 grade seems to be a single light corner fold at the upper-left tip of the face. The vignette is sharp, and the signatures are clear and legible.

An extraordinary piece, with wonderful colors, excellent centering of both sides among broad margins and tons of eye appeal. The face vignette is unusually sharply printed.

Unusually, this Continental has two dark brown signatures. Except for the Fractional Continentals, which had a single red signature, all Continentals were supposed to bear two signatures: one either black or brown and the other red. We don't recall ever seeing two dark signatures on the same Continental. It's quite a nice note, probably held to the 64 grade by its margins, which, while typical for Continentals, are atypical for this collection, which has almost entirely beautifully margined notes.

Neither service has seen an uncirculated example of this very scarce note. This 58 PPQ is the finest graded at PCGS by 38 points and PMG's highest is a 55.

Continental Currency May 20, 1777 Complete Double Sheet of Sixteen Extremely Fine-About New.
This is the first "United States" issue where the words "United Colonies" have been eliminated. This sheet, which is unique to our best knowledge, carries two subjects of each of the eight denominations. The sheet has the always present center fold along with the three needle holes. These sheets were folded and sewn when produced, and all sheets have this same characteristic. The sheet has also been quarter-folded at one time with one of the folds bisecting four of the notes, and another partial-fold touching two others. Looked at individually, about half of the notes present are actual Gems, but all sixteen carry the visual appeal of Gems. An irreplaceable sheet that deserves a home in the very finest of holdings.

Only a single counterfeit is described in Newman for this issue and denomination, and this is the nicest example of that counterfeit that we have seen. Unlike our later federal notes, counterfeit Continentals are perfectly legal to buy, sell and collect. All are scarce, and most are quite rare. Although this issue was extensively counterfeited, for some reason the notes are remarkably scarce. This is a great looking example with bright forged signatures and all of the tell-tale characteristics that Newman mentions.

PMG has graded this lone 64 EPQ with only a 60 below it, and PCGS has yet to see an uncirculated example of this note. As with two other pieces from this May 20th issue, it traces its history to the famous Affleck-Ball New Netherlands sale from December 1975. The pedigree is noted on the PMG holder and the original lot tag is also enclosed. Along with its EPQ comment, PMG has added a second positive qualifier "Great Embossing." A wonderful note.

Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $4 PCGS Choice About New 55.
The rarest of the Continental issues (although May 20, 1777 is close), which seems to be borne out by the grading services. PMG has graded only six of these, and PCGS a mere four. This PCGS Choice About New 55 is by far the highest, with its closest competitor a VF-35. This note is from the lower left-hand corner of the sheet, with huge margins at the left and bottom going all the way out to the irregular edge of the sheet. The note has a single sheet fold about 1/4" from the top, which seems to be all that separates it from the fully uncirculated grade. It's well printed for any Continental, but especially so for a Yorktown, as these tend to come rather weak and fuzzy. A highly important piece, and one of the very finest Four Dollar Yorktowns to exist. The highest yet graded at either service, and likely to remain that way well into the future.

Continental Currency April 11, 1778 Counterfeit Detector Uncut Sheet of Eight Choice Extremely Fine.
Brighter and better printed than most detector multiples that we've seen, this April 11, 1778 counterfeit detector sheet is unique to the best of our knowledge. The paper is more toward the original blue than the typical blue-gray. A few of the notes are affected by very minor staining, but the folds between the notes are very light and several of the notes taken individually would likely grade Gem New. Yorktown detectors like the Yorktown issue itself are far scarcer than most of the other issues. An additional positive feature of this half sheet is the extreme sharpness of all eight nature prints.

Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $5 PCGS Choice About New 55.
Another important rarity, as are all Yorktowns, but particularly the lower denominations. The two grading services combined have graded fourteen notes, undoubtedly with some duplication. The highest grade PMG has seen is a 30, and this 55 is the top grade seen at PCGS. The piece is nicely, though somewhat irregularly, margined, and although a light fold can be seen across the top, the note has much of the look of a Choice Uncirculated piece. This AU is considerably higher grade than any raw note that HCAA has had the privilege of handling, and we would not be surprised if it remained the top graded by either service far into the future.

Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $5 Contemporary Counterfeit PCGS Extremely Fine 45.
Only a single variety of counterfeit Five Dollar Yorktowns is listed in Newman. Five Dollar Yorktown counterfeits are, for some reason, nearly as rare as the genuine examples. We've handled nine Five Dollar Yorktowns over the years; five have been genuine and four counterfeit, as compared to $40 notes, where we've handled 28, with 22 being counterfeits. This note is well margined, well signed and clearly printed on both sides. The diagnostics of the Counterfeit described in Newman are extremely plain, but even without those, the note is an obvious Counterfeit, with a very poor attempt at the nature print on the back.

The only uncirculated Eight Dollar Yorktown at either of the major services. Both services have seen seven examples. PMG has graded nothing above 55, and PCGS has graded this lone 63PPQ, with the next closest note a 55. This is one of only two uncirculated Yorktowns in the Patriotic American collection (the other is the 62 PPQ $30.) In fact, both grading services have graded only a combined total of two uncirculated Yorktowns: this Eight Dollar and the Thirty Dollar in this collection. A very impressive fact which speaks volumes of the difficulty inherent in assembling a set of this quality. Raw and graded notes combined, this is the finest Yorktown that we ever remember seeing.

A rare note in any grade, PMG has graded only two: a Fine 15 and an AU 53. This lovely 58PPQ is alone at this level with PCGS, and nothing higher has been graded.

Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $30 PCGS New 62PPQ.
The highest example graded at either service, and in fact, this is the only uncirculated Thirty Dollar Yorktown that has been graded by either service. The 62 grade appears to be due to the somewhat close margins, as the note has the eye appeal and overall look of a Gem, save for the margins. In viewing this collection, with all its broadly margined Continentals, one tends to forget that the typical centering is nothing like what is seen here. This Yorktown $30 is actually better than what is typically seen for Continentals, with the design fully clear of the borders on the back, and just barely touching in a few places on the face. This note is the plate note in the Fifth Edition of Newman, and the only Yorktown illustrated.

Genuine $40 notes are quite rare. High-grade examples are rarer still. PMG has graded only a single uncirculated piece, with a 53 the next highest. PCGS has graded this and one other note at the 55 level, with none higher. This is certainly one of the very nicest Forty Dollar Yorktowns that we have had the opportunity of seeing. The signatures are excellent, as is the print quality of both sides. The nature print on the back, which shows carrot leaves, is also unusually sharp.

Newman lists three different examples of this counterfeit, and this is the first of those three. The simplest diagnostic is the 'A' in 'STATES' in the top border. The left leg of the 'A' is considerably thicker than the right leg. Not as deceptive as many of these Tory counterfeits.

A very nice example of one of the more available Continental multiples. Although the most common of Continental half sheets, all that we have seen are approximately n this condition. No fully margined, truly high grade example is known either to us or to the consignor of this collection. All eight denominations of the issue are present and all eight feature heavy, original embossing that is evident to even the casual observer. The sheet, although totally free of circulation soil, has been folded down at one time and has one or two light folds affecting each subject. The large sheet selvage has also been removed, leaving generous normal note-sized margins on all four sides. The signatures are bold and the print quality above average.

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 Two Counterfeit Detector Uncut Sheets of Eight Extremely Fine.
The two counterfeit detector half sheets presented in this lot not only have strong ties to American history, but to numismatic history as well.

The Boston Gazette's September 13, 1779 issue reported on the recent arrival of the Continental ships Deane and Boston and reported on the capture of "the ship Earl of Glencairn, mounting twenty guns," by the Deane. The paper went on to report, "From the Glencairn was thrown overboard a box containing a complete set of types and three reams of paper, with isinglass and silk mixed, for counterfeiting the Continental currency, which was afterwards taken up and brought in by Captain Nicholson. The printer, who was to counterfeit the same, was likewise taken in the above ship."

These two detector sheets are pinned together and include a handwritten note that reads, "Taken by the Ship Deane commanded by Capt. Sam'l Nicholson, 1779. From the Ship Glencairn, a box containing a complete set of types, and three reams of paper, with isinglass and silk mixed, for counterfeiting the Continental Currency. The enclosed are two sheets of them, presented me by Rev. Joseph B. Felt." The note is signed in the same hand by Matthew A. Stickney.

Joseph Barlow Felt (1789-1869) was the author of A Historical Account of Massachusetts Currency, originally published in 1839. Matthew Stickney (1805-1894) was a well-known collector, who among other accomplishments, assisted Crosby with Early Coins of America. After his death, the collection he had amassed was sold to Henry Chapman. Notations in pencil concerning Chapman are also observed on the attached note.

Although these are the most available of all detector half sheets, the additional historic and numismatic connections raise this to a level that made both the owner of this collection as well as this cataloger feel that this is one of the most significant items in this incomparable assemblage.

Folds are observed on both sheets. The folds run through a few of the notes, while some examples are unaffected and are almost new or better. A few tears and splits are seen at the margins.

PMG has graded 28 of these, with only a single one of them uncirculated. This is one of the more available issues in high grade, which speaks to the difficulty of forming a great set such as this one.

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $30 PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
Several times in describing this collection, we've emphasized our belief that eye appeal trumps technical grade where Continentals are concerned. Having said that, it is nonetheless very nice when both eye appeal and technical high grade combine on the same piece. This is one of those. Every feature of the note is spectacularly sharp, including the vignette, on which every leaf of the wreath shows all its detail. The wreath surmounts a tomb which is surrounded by the Latin motto, SI RECTE FACIES, which Newman translates as, "If you act righteously, you will be honored after death." PCGS has graded 33 examples, with this piece alone at the top of the census by two points.

12121

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $40 Contemporary Counterfeit PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
Newman lists two counterfeit varieties for this issue. This is the first of those varieties. The easiest diagnostic to see is that the upright of the "b" in "by" is slightly to the left of the tail of the "R" in "Resolution" above it. On the genuine, the "b" is below the right tip of the "a" before "Resolution." High grade counterfeits are tough to find. This one is a beauty with a deceptively genuine appearance and strong forged signatures.

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $40 Gem New. Good printing quality, excellent centering of both sides and unusually nice margins along with two strong signatures, one red and one brown, are all highlights of this lovely Continental. The Confederation vignette, with the thirteen stars and All Seeing Eye, is one of the more famous emblematic symbols of our nascent country.

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $40 Contemporary Counterfeit PCGS Fine 15.
This is the second of the two different counterfeits listed in Newman. The easiest diagnostic is that the "m" in "milled" tilts down and to the right. On the genuine, it's perfectly level. The copper plate used to print the face of this counterfeit is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution. In spite of the rather low grade, the note is more than clear enough for study.

12124

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $50 Contemporary Counterfeit PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
This is an interesting Counterfeit that comes with many minor variations. This is the variety with the printed comma added after "26th." According to Newman, the comma was initially missing, then added by pen, and later corrected by the insertion of a type-set comma. The easiest diagnostic is the fact that the base of the word "to" in the first line extends far below the base of the word "Bearer." Very deceptive, and extremely high grade for a counterfeit.

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $50 PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
This is the only Continental that uses the three arrows rather than a nature print on the back. The arrows are set against a background that used the nature-print process and a piece of cloth along with a scattering of engraved lines. A lovely high-grade note with a corner-tip fold and a light sheet fold accounting for the AU grade.

12126

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $60 PCGS Very Choice New 64.

Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $60 Contemporary Counterfeit PCGS New 62PPQ.
The first of the counterfeits (there are three different) listed for this issue and denomination in Newman. This one is referred to as deceptive, and it is indeed. The easiest diagnostic is the dot over the 'i' in 'receive'; which on this counterfeit is to the left of the dot over the 'i' in 'milled' on the line below it--on a genuine note, it is slightly to the right. Counterfeits are rarely encountered in this high a grade, and the grade allows the observer to appreciate the high level that some of these counterfeits have reached.

Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $1 PCGS Very Choice New 64.
It's impossible to see through the holder what held this note to the 64 level, but it certainly wasn't its appearance. The owner of this incredible Continental Collection was driven not by technical grade but by eye appeal. Many of these notes were purchased over 20 years ago, long before the advent of grading services. What today may technically be About New or Choice New was at that time the very finest note available based on color, signatures, margins and overall appearance. The grading services are technical, as they should be, and there is no doubt some minor technical flaw holds this note to Choice. That said, they just simply never look better than this piece.

12130

Continental Currency January 14, 1779 Uncut Complete Sheet of Sixteen Extremely Fine-About New.
While relatively common as a half sheet (which in this case means five or six), this issue is extremely rare as a full sheet of sixteen. Both the consignor of the collection and this cataloger know of no other examples. The sheet has the normal fold between panes and the two needle holes that are always found on the fold. It also has a few other very light folds that do touch a few of the notes. A great majority of the notes, taken individually, are perfect Gem pieces. The appearance of the sheet is spectacular, in part due to its two-color printing, but also due to the beautiful brightness of the paper and the bold two-color signatures. Irreplaceable as a collectible, and also a magnificent display item for the new owner.

Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $3 PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
One of only a tiny handful of notes to reach this technical grade in this landmark collection. The note has a simply spectacular appearance, equal in qualitative measure to the beautiful 64 $1 from this issue. The signatures are bold, the margins broad and the nature print very sharp. Very few Continentals will ever reach this 66P level. Our consignor also owned the PMG 66EPQ, but opted to keep this piece on eye appeal.

Another spectacular piece, with ideal color, broad margins, perfect signatures and tons of eye appeal. A note fit for the finest of collections. It's tied for finest known at both services, and as with the lot above, our consignor owned both the PMG 66EPQ and this PCGS 66PPQ. This one was picked for the collection based on eye appeal.

12134

Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $5 PCGS Choice New 63.
Clearly held to the 63 grade by the lack of a left face margin. The signatures are good, as is the color. And the nature print is far sharper than what is normally seen. The finest graded at PCGS and the only uncirculated note.

Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $20 PCGS About New 53PPQ.
Again, not selected for technical merit, but rather for eye appeal, which is wonderful on this $20 example. There is a light fold which accounts for the 53PPQ grade, but it is very difficult to see and does not in any way detract from the eye appeal.

Eight of the higher denominations are represented on this half sheet. One each of the $30, $35, $40, $45, $50, $55, $60 and $65 denominations, four are unique to this final Continental issue. The sheet has but a single fold, a light horizontal that touches only the $60 and $40 notes. That leaves six Gem New examples, which includes all four unique denominations. Not the rarest of Continental half sheets with a few others known. There are also two full sheets known of these denominations. One of which has had its selvage removed and the other permanently impounded in a museum. The print quality is super, allowing even the finely detailed nature prints to be clearly seen.

Continental Currency January 14, 1779 Half Sheet of Eight Choice About New.
Virtually identical to the sheet above. The paper color is a tad darker, but the signatures and ink colors are equally vibrant. Again, as with the previous sheet, it has but a single fold horizontally between the middle subjects. In this instance, only the $40 note is touched by the fold, leaving 7 of the 8 examples fully uncirculated. The print quality on the face is equal to the sheet above and the nature prints on the back are a tad sharper on this example.

Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $35 PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
A corner tip fold at the upper right of the face appears to be the cause of the 58PPQ grade. This piece is the single highest graded by PCGS, and although it's not likely to remain at the top of the census as a high-end AU, it will always remain as one of the very best looking $35 Continentals in existence. This strikingly handsome note has perfect coloration of the inks and paper, as well as the sharpest possible printing of both sides, including the nature print on the back.

12142

Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $50 PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
This is the only note graded by PCGS at this level, with none higher. PMG has also graded only one 64EPQ, with none higher. That makes this the finest graded at PCGS, and tied with only one other for both services combined. Our experience has shown us that in many instances, when there is a single piece tied for finest known at both services, it is the very same note. While not necessarily the case in this instance, it will certainly be the case a hefty percentage of the time. When there is a single -5 or -6 at one service, with only a single note one point below it at the other service... the chances are even greater. Sadly, when the highest note at one service is a 45, and the highest at the other is a 64, it is also occasionally the same note. In any event, this Fifty Dollar is a very lovely note that is clearly graded properly at the 64PPQ level. This denomination, although not unique to this 1779 issue, is found in only two of the eleven different issues of Continentals.

The highest graded example at PCGS, and alone at the top. PMG has also graded a single 64EPQ, making this note at worst tied for finest known, and quite possibly tied with itself. Even more importantly, to this cataloger's eye, is the incomparable visual appeal of this piece. The $65 denomination is unique to this final issue.

Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $70 PCGS Choice About New 58.
This $70 denomination is found only in this eleventh and final issue of Continentals. Of the nearly 30 examples graded by PCGS, this Choice About New piece has received the highest grade, and it is alone at the top of the census. PMG has graded only a single uncirculated note. Once again, where technical grade is lacking, it is more than made up for in appearance. A wonderful looking note.

The lone 64PPQ graded by PCGS with only a single example higher. The signatures are incredibly bright and strong, as are the colors of the inks and paper. The print quality is also outstanding, with the vignette showing every line of the original engraving and the nature print of the strawberry leaf on the back shows even the finest lines of the veins in the leaves.

Although Newman does list a Counterfeit of this $80 denomination, it is not this piece. Neither of his diagnostics match this note, and he refers to the listed Counterfeit as "crude." This note, while an obvious counterfeit, does not rise (or sink?) to the level of crude. The forged signatures are excellent, and a well-trained eye is needed to detect that this is a counterfeit.

As with the note above, this was not the counterfeit listed in Newman. It matches extremely closely to the note above, but not identically. This could be due to simple printing differences, or the plate may have been slightly altered, which counterfeiters sometimes did as characteristics of their notes became public knowledge.

The bright orange ship seal is one of the boldest printed and brilliantly colored that we've seen.

The note is well margined, beautifully signed, and utterly original without a hint of a flaw or circulation-caused defect. Georgia notes that are totally problem free are truly rare, and this beauty should prove to be extremely popular.

The highest denomination from this issue, and by far the most valuable. Priced in Newman at more than double the $6 and $7 denominations in every grade. As a Very Fine, the Newman 5th Edition values this note at $4500, as opposed to the $2000 valuation for the $6 and $7 notes. The thirteen-link vignette is extremely clean and sharp and all five signatures are dark and bold. PCGS has yet to release its Colonial population report, but the PMG report shows an EF 40 as the highest example that they have yet graded. If this is not the highest graded at either service, it must be very close to it.

Albany, NY- Albany February 17, 1776 Personal Promissory Note $1/8 (1s) Repaired Very Fine.
A boldly printed, well margined piece, this was part of the second issue of Personal Promissory Notes issued by means of a resolve by the Committee of the City and County of Albany. Five different denominations were issued, with examples of four out of those five being offered here tonight. Newman lists a total of four authorized signers for the issue. Two signatures are observed on each piece. Two tape repairs are seen on the back of this $1/8 note, with one repair reinforcing a center split and the other applied to an edge split. This example is the plate note on page 287 of the fifth edition of Newman's The Early Paper Money of America. A scarce denomination that was absent from even the large DuPont collection of small change notes, with this being the only example we are aware of.

The four authorized signers for the issue were all members of the Albany City Committee, the local Committee of Correspondence. A letter was sent by them to the Committee of Correspondence in Boston dated May 1, 1775 which began, "While we lament the mournful event which has caused the Blood of our Brethren in the Massachusetts Bay to flow, we feel that satisfaction which every honest American must experience at the Glorious stand you have made, we have an additional satisfaction from the consequences which we trust will [ensue] in uniting every American in Sentiments and Bonds, which we hope will be indissoluble by our Enemies."

The $1/2 piece listed above includes the signature of Jacob Cuyler. Both signatures appear quite similar, so it is possible the same person signed using two different first names. Abraham C. Cuyler was mayor of Albany from 1770-78. A tape repair is observed on the back, reinforcing a horizontal split that was contemporarily sewn together as evidenced by the pinholes.

The May 20, 1777 issue is one of the scarcer Continental issues and is the first to read "United States" instead of "United Colonies." The $5 is the only denomination of this issue to carry the engraving error in the motto in which "H" was erroneously engraved instead of "B" in the last word of the motto SUSTINE VEL ABSTINE (either survive or give up).

12186

Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $30 PCGS About New 53PPQ.
A well signed $30 that is nicely margined on both sides and is from what is by far the rarest of the Continental issues. Thirty Dollar notes are not known to have been counterfeited, but six of the eight denominations of Yorktowns were heavily counterfeited by the British in an effort to undermine the value of the currency of the nascent United States. The existence of these deceptive counterfeits is the reason that this April 11, 1778 issue is the rarest of all the Continentals. When these counterfeits appeared shortly after the genuine notes were issued, the Continental Congress voted to recall all April 11, 1778 notes. This piece luckily escaped that recall.

A much scarcer issue, this is an appealing note and is importantly uncancelled. The signatures have faded, however enough remains visible to discern that William Pitkin, George Wyllys and Benjamin Payne were the signers of this example. There are two splits, about a quarter of an inch long, at left and right of the horizontal center fold. Those splits resulted in the apparent grade from PCGS. Contemporary numeric notations in black ink are observed on the back.

As these notes are not priced above Very Fine ($600) in Newman, this well printed, uncanceled AU example is an important rarity for this colony's many collectors. Connecticut notes were retained by the state after cancellation, and over the last 235 years, many have found their way into the collector market. Notes without cancellations are scarce to very rare, depending on the issue and denomination. This well signed, uncanceled note at this grade level verges on very rare.

Connecticut Revolutionary War Era Fiscal Documents
Our consigner assembled an attractive collection of Connecticut fiscal documents, placed them in a specially labeled album, and wrote a brief introduction pertaining to each piece. The assemblage includes the following notes: a handwritten premium pay order signed by T. Seymour, O. Ellsworth, and Jn. Lawrence; a printed Pay-Table Office note payable to Ralph Pomeroy; a handwritten note payable to Guy Richards, Jr. with the Pay Office Table to be charged signed by Finn Wadsworth, John Chenward, John Lawrence, and Oliver Wolcott, Jr.; a printed Pay Table Office certificate countersigned by J. Huntington (General Jedediah Huntington); a Treasury-Office Certificate that has been hole cancelled with the payable date crossed out and "twenty ninth day of November 1780" written after; a certificate payable to Benj Johnson for his service " in the Connecticut Line of the Continental Army"; and a Comptroller's-Office certificate issued to Jacob Kingsbury as payment on interest. A beautifully assembled collection full of rich history from the period. There will be no returns on this lot for any reason.

Delaware June 1, 1759 15s PMG Very Fine 25.
Certainly one of the nicest examples we've encountered, this Ex: John J. Ford note printed by B. Franklin and D. Hall retains great eye appeal on both sides. The horse vignette is quite clear. David Hall was one of the signers of this fifteen shillings note. Of the eleven examples that PMG has graded to date, this is the highest graded note. PMG mentions small holes, indicating the three small worm holes seen at upper right. An exceptional note destined for a great collection.

This note is the variety with the period over the center of the Y and is numbered 782 of the 7,750 twenty shillings pieces printed. The current edition of the Newman reference lists a value of $2500 in Very Fine.

Georgia 1776 £1 PCGS Apparent Fine 15.
All five signatures remain clearly visible on this rare, boldly printed note that spent time in circulation. The apparent grade was assigned to this note due to multiple splits, repairs, and pieces replaced according to the notations on the holder.

An attractive example that faces up well. Two small "v's" are seen in the top and bottom margins, the sixth of eight border varieties listed by Newman in the 5th Edition of The Early Paper Money of America. A scarce and underrated issue, despite the hinge remnants which are noted by PMG.

12201

Georgia 1776 $1 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20.
An attractive example displaying even color on the face. Well-signed with a bold, blue seal and five very strong signatures. The top and bottom of the center fold have been strengthened, but there is no paper loss and the note is free of other repairs and restorations. A well-above-average example of this scarce note. In spite of its moderate circulation, the original embossing of the text and the seal remains visible.

12202

Georgia 1776 $2 PMG Very Good 10 Net.
The embossing of the text and seal remain strong despite the moderate circulation of this well-signed piece. The seal is well-printed and retains bold color. There are a few minor margin issues but nothing severe. The net grade was assigned due to a tape repair observed on the back. A respectable above average example of this scarce note despite the grade assigned.

12203

Georgia 1776 $4 PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent.
PCGS has commented on "Minor Repaired Edge Tears". While they are present, they are extremely minor and the apparent grade in this instance seems a bit harsh. But for those repaired splits, this gorgeous Georgia note is virtually perfect, with razor sharp printing, ideal margins, a bright blue seal that is still embossed to the back, and five clear, dark signatures. It's also far better margined than most Georgia notes from this era.

12204

Georgia 1777 $5 PMG Choice About Unc 58.
The highest graded PMG example to date by 13 points, this scarce Blue Seal Georgia Cannon note displays bright paper and dark signatures. Newman only lists these notes up through EF and provides a value at that grade level of $5000. Were the detail of the seal clearer, this note would certainly approach that level. However, this rare note certainly retains desirability at this grade level.

12205

Extremely low serial number 57 is seen on this red "in" example. This note is nicely margined, with five dark signatures, and a reasonably bright blue seal. A large portion of a watermark is observed. A repaired edge tear at bottom left was cited as the reason for the apparent grade, however the repair was nicely performed. These notes are valued at $3750 in EF in the current edition of Newman's reference.

12207

Georgia June 8, 1777 $6 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.
The much scarcer variety with the word "in" in the fourth line printed in black. Black "in" notes from this issue always have very low serial numbers. This example is the lowest we've ever seen, bearing serial number 2. PCGS has pointed out the faded seal and a repaired tear, which resulted in the Apparent 25 grade, but this well-signed note does indeed face up like an extremely nice VF. The Newman book places a value on these notes in VF at $3000.

12211

Massachusetts 1750 $1/8 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30.
A rare note indeed, we had never encountered this denomination prior to the arrival of this note at our offices. The 1750 Massachusetts issue consisted of six different denominations of change bills only. Prior to this issue, there were three different currencies in use from previous issues- Old tenor bills, Middle tenor bills, and New tenor bills. Inflation caused the values of each issue to differ, requiring merchants to use specially printed conversion charts in order to be able to transact business.

The British government sent Massachusetts 21 tons of Spanish silver coins along with 10 tons of British coppers in 1749 as reimbursement for the assistance provided to the Lewisburg expedition during the French and Indian War. Once Massachusetts-Bay had specie, they passed the currency reform act of 1749, requiring that all outstanding notes be redeemed between March 31, 1750 and March 31, 1751 and securing the new issue with the hard money.

The new notes included the phrase, Restituit rem, seen encircling the pine tree vignette at right on this example, meaning the situation has been restored. The British did not take kindly to this and passed an act on September 21, 1751 severely limiting the Colony's ability to issue paper money. No additional notes were issued by Massachusetts until May 25, 1775 when the Paul Revere-printed notes were issued in order to pay the soldiers who would soon fight at Bunker Hill.

This denomination, never seen before by most Colonial enthusiasts, is certain to cause a stir. Beautifully engraved woodcut borders and set type were used. The designs include the previously mentioned pine tree, along with a codfish at bottom center. The signatures of J. Quincy and A. Bordman remain clearly visible. The note has been backed with a piece of paper to reinforce the center split, resulting in the Apparent grade.

A challenging note to provide an estimate for given its rarity and desirability, but we would expect this note to bring a solid, mid-five-figure price.

12212

Massachusetts December 7, 1775 1s4d PCGS Apparent Fine 15.
Paul Revere printed only 6250 of these notes. This is a solid example with a bold ship vignette on the face and a strong Sword in Hand vignette at back. As Felt stated in his 1839 book, An Historical Account of Massachusetts Currency, when discussing the design elements, "The circumstances under which this currency is sent forth, are clothed with serious greatness. They embrace the oppressions, necessities, purposes, perils, hopes and fears of a people, breaking from long established relations and setting themselves in array against a mighty empire." A restored split at center is noted by PCGS, though the work has been deftly executed and the note has an excellent overall appearance for the assigned grade.

12213

Massachusetts December 7, 1775 3s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20.
A note that should please if you are looking for a great Sword in Hand vignette as this example is well printed. The Newman VF price is $8750. And while this note's assorted minor problems will hold it away from that level, it is still a solid mid-four-figure piece. PCGS has assigned the apparent grade for edge splits and some scattered stains. The note certainly has these, but the strength of printing, excellent margins and an extremely detailed back vignette should make this a very popular lot.

12214

Massachusetts October 18, 1776 4s 6d PMG Extremely Fine 40.
A boldly printed Paul Revere engraved codfish note with nice margins and the signature of Hastings. The centering is lacking on the back, but the note faces up beautifully and displays great detail.

12216

Massachusetts 1779 4s PMG Very Fine 30 Net.
George Partridge was the signer of this Rising Sun note. This example is number 769 of 9,411 printed. The back plate uses the same type and cast cuts as the Codfish issues, but the face plate was newly engraved by Paul Revere. Revere also printed the faces, and as with the previous Codfish issue, Thomas Fleet printed the backs. A hole repair was cited by PMG as the reason for the net grade.

12217

Massachusetts 1781 $16 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35, HOC.
Listed in Friedberg and Newman, this note is also listed as MA 28 in Anderson's The Price of Liberty as fiscal paper. In Anderson, the $16 denomination of this issue is listed as "unknown," which was the case until a few of these, all hole cancelled, turned up a while back. In fact, we sold a PCGS VF 30 example in September 2008 for $1610. PCGS mentioned that this note is hole punch cancelled and they also noticed an edge tear at top right. The edge tear is trivial.

12218

Massachusetts 1781 $16 PMG Very Fine 30, HOC.
Signed by Henry Gardner as treasurer, this $16 denomination had been unknown until around 2005 when a few pieces surfaced. The certificates were payable to the bearer in six months and were receivable for taxes. Newman lists these as Massachusetts 1781 Written Date notes and they are also listed in Anderson as fiscal paper. PMG mentioned that the note has been hole cancelled.

12219

Massachusetts Commodity Bond January 1, 1780 Very Fine.
This bond is listed in Anderson as MA-21 and considered by him to be an R5 (31 to 75 known). These Commodity Bonds are perhaps the most interesting of all the Massachusetts fiscal paper, because both their principal and interest were tied to the current price of various commodities (corn, beef, sheep's wool, sole leather) at the date the bond was due. The bonds were authorized to cover the depreciation of pay received by Continental soldiers and sailors. This specimen was payable to Eastman Hutchins. Embossing is clearly evident. A rare item that is a direct link to America's fight for independence.

12220

Massachusetts Committee War Note August 16, 1777 Extremely Fine-About New.
Listed in Anderson as MA 4, and considered by the author to be an R4 item (75-200 known), this one was issued on August 16, 1777 and was payable for £100 plus interest. The embossed seal is visible in the center, and the note was signed by D. Jeffries and E. Wales for the committee, and by H. Gardner as Treasurer. A nice Extremely Fine piece with no problems.

12221

Massachusetts 6% Treasury Certificate April 26, 1779 Very Fine.
The Pine Tree Surrounded by a Rattlesnake vignette is clean and sharp on this Low R-5 (31 - 75 known) certificate which is listed as MA-18 in Anderson's The Price of Liberty. Due to the engraving style, time period, and Massachusetts location, these bonds were misattributed for many years as the work of Paul Revere. They were in actuality executed by Nathaniel Hurd, a contemporary competitor of Revere.

The August 24, 1775 issue totaled only £8,000 worth of indented notes comprised of five different denominations with three different due date varieties. This example was payable on the "20th of December 1777." PMG mentions a reattached center as the reason for the net grade.

12226

New Hampshire November 3, 1775 40s PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40.
A genuine example of this denomination, and quite rare as such. The two highest denominations of this issue (30s and 40s) are much more common as counterfeits than as genuine examples. This piece has seen very little circulation and would grade higher but for some splits that have been mentioned by PCGS along with a stain. New Hampshire notes are the rarest of the original 13 Colonies (Vermont, the really rare one, was fourteenth).

12227

New Hampshire June 28, 1776 4s PMG Fine 12 Net.
A well printed four shillings note and the only example graded by PMG to date. Only 6000 of these notes were printed. There were two different due date varieties and this example has the Jan. 26, 1788 date. The net grade is due to tape repairs which are unobtrusive.

12228

New Jersey June 22, 1756 £6 PCGS Apparent Fine 12.
This is one of the three early Jersey issues in which the sage leaf backs were printed in a different color- in this case, green. PCGS has assigned an apparent grade due to the discoloration on the back. The note is one of the highest grade greenbacks that we have seen, and this serial number 463 is one of only 625 originally printed. This is the only note from this issue that is unpriced in any grade in Newman. It is the first example that we have handled and, if memory serves, the first we have ever seen for this issue. The only other greenbacks that we have handled were the £6 notes from the April 12, 1757 issue. Extremely rare.

New Jersey March 25, 1776 £6 PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
A beautiful example of this extremely popular tricolor issue. All the margins are clear of the design on the face, but are a hair too tight for the Gem grade. The back centering is perfect. David Rittenhouse, who was to become the first Director of the United States Mint in 1792, did some of the engraving work for the plate of this £6 note. His name is worked into the red border design in extremely small letters that on this example can be clearly seen. This is number 1146 out of an original printing of only 3125.

A rare New Jersey note and one of the very few we have seen in any grade. This plate letter "B" example is clean, well signed, and well margined save for the bottom left edge. The note has retained nice detail and an overall VF appearance. There are some nicely executed corner and split repairs mentioned by PMG that resulted in the net grade.

12239

Only 1750 of these scarce notes were printed and this is the variety without a plate letter. Four bees are seen at the top border on the back. Maskell Ewing and Benjamin Smith were the signers of this piece. PMG has mentioned a split repair. The repair is not distracting on the face. Newman prices these only up through the VF grade ($4000).

Elizabeth, NJ- Borough of Elizabeth 1 Penny March 25, 1790 Wait 526 PMG Very Fine 25.
This is the first of a number of small change notes from New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania that can be found at the end of the colonial section for each respective state. Following the copper panic of 1789, many communities and institutions issued small change notes. Due to the devaluation of copper, most people would not accept copper coins at their usual rates and another medium of exchange was needed.

Although PMG identified this note as having been issued from Pennsylvania, the note is actually from New Jersey and is listed in George Wait's New Jersey's Money. One of five denominations issued, the notes were printed by S. Kollock of Elizabeth Town. Aaron Ogden's name appears as clerk on these pieces. The designs on the back include a skull and crossbones. The Smythe March 1993 sale of DuPont's collection of small change notes included several examples, among them a VF that brought $260.

Three wide margins and even circulation are observed on this note signed by Elias Boudinot, the president of the church. Among his many accomplishments, Boudinot served as the third Director of the United States Mint. Shepard Kollock of Elizabeth Town was the printer of this piece. This issue is listed on page 266 of the Fifth Edition of Eric P. Newman's, The Early Paper Money of America. The note is also listed in George W. Wait's New Jersey's Money.

These notes, remainders only, are listed on page 268 of the most recent Newman edition and also appear in Wait's New Jersey's Money.

New York November 1, 1709 (Lyon Dollars) 2 Ounces 15 Pennyweights or 4 Lyon Dollars PCGS Choice About New 55PPQ.
A gorgeous Silver Valued Issue example from New York, the third colony to issue paper money. A large, indented bill printed by William Bradford, this About New note earned the PPQ designation from PCGS. Possessing eye appeal far superior to the plate example in the Fifth Edition of the Newman reference, this example is beautifully printed, displays wide margins, and retains bold signatures. Although PCGS has identified the serial number as 93, it is actually 53.

The note was part of an original authorization of 10,000 ounces of sliver plate (15,545 Lyon dollars) in bills of credit that were approved in November of 1709 and made receivable for taxes with 2 1/2% interest per year. The interest provision was subsequently revoked. The Lyon Dollar refers to the Dutch coin of the period which showed a rampant lion on both sides: small on one side within a shield, and large on the other as the main design. At the time this note was issued, a Lyon Dollar equaled 5s6d in New York money of account, or thirteen pennyweights and eighteen grains of silver plate.

Robert Walter, Robert Lurting, Johannes Jansen, and Johannes DePeyster were the signers. Each of the men served as mayor of New York City. Bradford printed these notes on their sides in sheets of four with the indent to the left edge, using a woodcut design for the indent. An interesting aside is that Benjamin Franklin sought employment with Bradford, however Bradford did not have enough business at that point to employ him and instead referred Franklin to his son in Philadelphia, also a printer. Franklin later referred to Bradford as "a cunning old fox."

The Very Choice New example we sold at our January 2002 FUN auction realized $37,375. With an increased appreciation of the rarity and beauty of this material in today's market, we would expect this gorgeous example to realize a solid mid-range five figure mark.

The entire April 15, 1758 issue, comprised of only two denominations, is unpriced in Newman. Only half as many £5 notes as £10 examples were printed. The notes have blank dark coarse paper backs. This issue was authorized in order to raise money for a second expedition to Crown Point in an attempt to drive the French out. As with the first expedition in 1755, the second one was also unsuccessful. However, the French chose to withdraw in 1759, allowing the British control over the area. The Stack's May 2004 sale included an uncirculated example of this denomination which realized a shade over $5000. Although this note is far from that grade, it is certainly visually pleasing. Repaired splits of the center fold were the reason for PCGS's apparent grade. PMG has only graded one example and that one graded five points below this note.

New York March 5, 1776 $1 PMG About Uncirculated 55.
Well margined, well signed and boldly printed. This note has much of the eye appeal of a fully uncirculated example.

12247

Ballston, NY- Presbyterian Congregation 1 Penny Undated Harris 5 PMG Very Fine 20 Net.
A well margined, attractive piece signed by H. Baldwin, Treasurer. The notes were printed by Barber and Southwick. John Barber's brother-in-law Solomon Southwick became his business partner in 1792 and they worked together until Barber's death in 1808, providing us with a date range for these notes. A nicely performed repair to a center split led to the net grade. These notes are listed in Newman and also in Gordon L. Harris' New York State Scrip and Private Issues. Harris lists them with a rarity rating of R7, one to five known.

12248

Lansingburgh, NY- Lansingburgh Museum 1 Penny October 20, 1792 Harris 4 PMG Very Fine 20 Net.
A note in a condition far better than the example in the Ford Collection that had three paper strip repairs and sold for $1,035 in 2007, this is a rare note and displays much wider margins than the Ford piece. According to Newman, "the Lansingburgh Museum was formed in 1775 as a library and educational organization. Small change notes were issued in Lansingburgh with 27 merchants of Rensselaer County pledged to accept them." The notes were printed by Silvester Tiffany and William H. Wands. In addition to his printing business, Tiffany also owned a bookstore in Lansingburgh. These notes have been assigned a rarity rating of R7, 1 to 5 known, in New York State Scrip and Private Issues by Gordon L. Harris. Repairs, well performed, were cited as the reason for the net grade.

12249

New York, NY- Corporation of the City of New York 1 Penny February 20, 1790 Harris 15 PMG Very Fine 25.
Listed in both Newman and Harris, this was the lowest of three denominations from this issue. According to Newman, the notes were authorized "to satisfy 'the want of small change' and to prevent the great losses 'to the poorer classes of citizens from the circulation of base coppers.'" The two and three pence notes were counterfeited in London. Hugh Gaine was the printer of the issue and the printed signature of City Treasurer Daniel Phoenix is seen. A rarity of R6, 6 to 10 known, was listed by Harris. The Ford Collection EF example brought $862 in 2007.

12250

New York, NY- New York Manufacturing Society 1 Penny June 22, 1790 Harris 23 PMG Very Fine 25 Net.
Another note listed in both Newman and Harris, this is the one penny variety signed by H. Ten Brook. The notes were printed by Hugh Gaine. "Mind your Business," a legend credited to Benjamin Franklin that was included on the contemporary Fugio Coppers, is seen on the back of this note. Harris lists this variety as R6, indicating 6 to 10 known. There are known counterfeits of this one penny variety according to Newman. The net grade was assigned by PMG due to missing corners. Ford's Choice Very Fine example brought $4,887.50 in 2007.

12251

Poughkeepsie, NY- City of Poughkeepsie 1 Penny March 19, 1791 Harris 1 PMG Very Fine 25 Net.
A denomination missing from the Ford XVII sale, as the two Poughkeepsie pieces offered were both two pence notes. The Smythe 1993 auction of DuPont's small change notes appears to have been lacking any examples from Poughkeepsie. Nicholas Power of Poughkeepsie printed this uniface note that was signed by Peter Tappan, Treasurer. This was the lowest of three denominations issued and is listed in both Newman and Harris. A R7 rating was assigned to these notes by Harris, indicating 1 to 5 examples known. Repairs were cited as the reason for the net grade.

12252

Schenectady, NY- Reformed Dutch Church 1 Penny Aug. 8, 1793 Harris 11 PMG Very Fine 25 Net.
Another example listed in both Newman and Harris, this was the second of two issues by the church with the earlier notes dated Sep. 6, 1790. The notes were printed by C.R. & G. Webster of Albany. The printed signature is D. Romeyn for Dominie Dirck Romeyn. Listed as R7, 1 to 5 known, in Harris. Repairs led to the net grade from PMG. An AU example sold for $825 against a $225 and up estimate at the 1993 Smythe auction.

12253

Stone Arabia, NY- Reformed Dutch Church 1 Penny Sept. 1792 Harris 1 PMG Choice Fine 15.
Another piece of "Church Money" printed by C.R. & G. Webster of Albany. This one penny note was signed by DeWit Peck. Newman and Harris both list only one and two pence denominations, however Newman speculated that other denominations are probable. Listed as R7 in Harris, 1 to 5 known. A VG example with splits was sold by Smythe in 1993 for $370.

12254

Troy, NY- Presbyterian Congregation 1 Penny August 28, 1792 Harris 7 PMG Good 6 Net.
Another example with a Harris rarity rating of R7, 1 to 5 known. This piece was net graded by PMG due to the contemporary repair with thread seen at the center. Newman lists two different signers for this issue, with this example bearing the signature of B. Gorton, the later signer. C.R. & G. Webster of Albany also printed these notes.

12255

North Carolina December, 1768 £3 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 45.
A widely margined, well signed note that retains good color. Edge splits were cited as the reason for the apparent grade.

12256

North Carolina April 2, 1776 $6 Squirrel PCGS Very Fine 35.
There are two varieties of the $6 denomination for this issue, the goat and the squirrel. All four signatures remain visible on this lovely example featuring the squirrel design.

12257

Pennsylvania January 1, 1756 15s PMG Very Fine 20 Net.
To date, this is one of two examples of this note graded by PMG from this rarer early Pennsylvania issue, with a price of $3000 in Newman for the Very Fine grade. The center fold has been strengthened, resulting in the net grade, but the note has the appearance of a solid 35.

12258

Pennsylvania January 1, 1756 15s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20.
Benjamin Franklin and David Hall printed this issue. This was the first of several emissions that were primarily a means to support military activity during the French and Indian War. Plate letter "B" is seen on this example. An edge split at left resulted in the apparent grade.

12259

Pennsylvania April 25, 1759 £5 PMG Very Fine 25.
An incredible grade for this issue printed by Benjamin Franklin, with PMG not having assigned a higher grade to any other examples to date. Franklin's imprint at the bottom of the back is clean and clear. Printed in black and red on both sides, which adds considerably to the eye appeal of this early Ben Franklin printed Pennsylvania issue. These notes are only priced up through the VF grade in the Newman reference with a value of $4000 listed.

12260

Pennsylvania May 1, 1760 50s PCGS Fine 15.
A boldly printed red and black note exhibiting nice detail printed by B. Franklin and D. Hall, housed in a comment free holder. All three signatures remain visible on this plate letter "D" example, although the signature in red ink has faded.

12261

Pennsylvania June 18, 1764 3d Uncut Horizontal Pair PMG About Uncirculated 53 EPQ.
The first uncut pair of these B. Franklin and D. Hall printed notes we have had the opportunity to offer. A well margined, well printed pair that has been very lightly handled over the past 246 years. Original paper surfaces are visible through the holder and earned this pair the EPQ designation from PMG. The bold signature of Thomas Wharton remains clearly visible on both plate letter "B" and "C" notes as do the serial numbers.

12262

Pennsylvania March 25, 1775 16s PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ.
A well margined, nicely printed, and well signed example with serial number 93. Only 3,000 notes were printed for each of the four denominations of this Lighthouse Issue. The 14s and 16s denominations were all printed with inverted backs.

12263

Pennsylvania April 10, 1777 9d PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
The only example to reach this grade level from PMG to date, with none higher. John Young, Jr. signed this Gem plate letter "A" example that has two wide margins.

Carlisle, PA- John Wray and James Lamberton 1 Penny Remainder September 5, 1789 Hoober 53-39 PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ.
A widely margined, unnumbered remainder printed by Mine & Reynolds of Carlisle. Lamberton's signature has been applied to this piece, but the signature of Wray is absent. A detailed allegorical vignette is observed on the back. Newman also lists a 3 pence denomination. A fully signed Unc example realized $975 against an estimate of $400 and up in Smythe's March 1993 sale.

12266

Philadelphia, PA- Bank of North America 1 Penny August 6, 1789 Hoober 305-31 PMG Uncirculated 60.
A nicely margined, well printed example from this bank that was chartered on Dec. 31, 1781. Benjamin Franklin's grandson, Benjamin Franklin Bache, printed these "tickets" as they were known. On January 7, 1782, Robert Morris wrote in his diary "I shall do all in my power to establish and support the bank, and as a beginning have this day drawn my warrant on the treasury for two hundred thousand dollars in part of the shares I have subscribed in behalf of the public." Morris experienced financial problems later that landed him in debtor's prison. Plate letter "F" is seen on this piece. An ink annotation, seen in blue ink along the margin on the back, was mentioned by PMG.

12267

Philadelphia, PA- Bank of North America 1 Penny August 6, 1789 Hoober 305-31 PMG About Uncirculated 53 Net.
Tench Francis, Cashier is printed on the face of this well margined note with plate letter "A," printed by Franklin's grandson. A tape repair to the upper right corner on the back was cited by PMG as the reason for the net grade. The repair poses little distraction.

12268

Rhode Island July 2, 1780 Half Sheet of Eight PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Each of the eight different denominations are represented on this hybrid remainder sheet. It's numbered and fully signed on the face, but the guaranty for the United States on the back is unsigned. The single most common Colonial multiple, but very few will ever be graded at this 66 EPQ level.

12269

Importantly, all three examples are fully signed.

12270

Rhode Island May, 1786 6d, 9d, 1s, 2s6d Uncut Sheet of Four PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
A gorgeous, well signed and numbered half sheet containing four perfect Gem notes displaying bold embossing. Samuel Allen and Job Comstock were the signers. The one shilling and six pence denomination examples include farm equipment within the State Arms while the other two denominations do not. Southwick and Barber were the printers. These, the four lowest denominations for the issue, have blank backs.

12271

Rhode Island May 1786 2s 6d PCGS Superb Gem New 68PPQ.
One of the most common of all Colonial notes, but certainly not at this rarified end of the grading scale. PCGS has yet to release a census, but PMG has graded 20 of these, including quite a few gems with none at the 68 level. It is unlikely there will ever be many challengers for finest known.

12272

South Carolina December 23, 1776 $2 PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ.
A single center fold is all that separates this well margined and well printed note from the near gem grade. This is the much scarcer fully signed note as opposed to the commonly seen remainder that usually has only one or two signatures and no serial number. The correct printed date is observed on this example.

12273

South Carolina December 23, 1776 $4 PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
Dart and Wakefield signed this attractive, widely margined remainder.

12274

South Carolina April 10, 1778 10s PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
A beautifully margined, well signed piece that retains great color. The palmetto emblem displays exquisite detail.

12275

South Carolina February 8, 1779 $80 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 45.
The $80 denomination is one of the earlier authorized denominations from this issue, and it is seen with far less frequency than the three later unauthorized denominations ($50, $70 and $90.) These earlier-issued denominations were also engraved by Thomas Coram, although he placed his name only on the later issues. The note has received an apparent grade due to splits at the top and bottom of the center fold and a piece of tape at the top of the back. However, the note is well signed and very well printed and thus has nice eye appeal.

12276

South Carolina July 6, 1789 6d City of Charleston PMG About Uncirculated 50.
Although PMG refers to this note as a Remainder, we believe they are incorrect. The lower denomination notes only required a single signature, and we have not seen any examples from this issue that have been numbered. Newman lists Remainders for only the 1s3d denomination, but the two notes of other denominations that are illustrated in Newman also have no serial numbers. A lovely note which appears to have only a little minor handling separating it from the fully uncirculated grade. We have sold only a handful of notes from this issue, almost all of which have been 1s3d examples. This 6d note is the only example we have seen.

12277

Virginia October 5, 1778 $50 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40.
Valued in the current edition of Newman in Fine for $2000, with no higher grade listed. The note has a single split repaired on the blank back, which caused the apparent grade. Save for that, it is a lovely EF, and very rare at this level. A mere 9597 of these $50 notes were printed. The $50 and $100 denominations, the two highest printed, were indented typeset bills printed on large pieces of laid paper. This example measures approximately 3 3/8 x 6 inches and was signed by Jonathan Boush and Edward Archer.

Encased Postage

12296

HB-225 EP-28 1¢ N & G Taylor Choice About New.
N & G Taylor, a tin plate company founded in 1810, is one of the rarest of the Encased Postage issuers. The Hodder-Bowers book states, "Denominations known include 1¢ through 12¢. None is really collectable." Fred Reed considers this One Cent denomination to be an R-7, indicating eleven to fifteen known. We basically agree, but are more inclined to ten or eleven. The case is a beautiful AU on this example, with considerable original color behind most of the letters. The blue 1¢ stamp featuring the portrait of famous Philadelphian Benjamin Franklin, Scott catalog number 63, is quite fresh, but it was folded prior to encasement. The mica is 100% crystal clear, with no evidence whatever of crazing, separation or defect of any kind. As the N & G Taylor issues are among the rarer encasements, this is a highly important example. The company also issued several Civil War Storecard tokens and actively participated in the 1876 Centennial Exhibition.

12297

HB-133 EP-116 10¢ J. Gault Extremely Fine.
The stamp and mica are perfect. The case is lovely red mahogany on the front; the back is tricolor with some red mahogany, some medium brass and a stripe of lighter brass.

12298

HB-32 EP-34b 3¢ Ayer's Sarsaparilla Large Ayer's Very Fine.
This Large Ayer's variety is considerably scarcer than the normally seen Medium Ayer's variety. The mica on this piece is just about perfect, and the stamp is quite bright. The case has a small dent just above the left tag, and the back of the case appears to have been lightly cleaned at one time, but is now primarily retoned. Included with this piece is an Ayer's Sarsaparilla trade card with a five-stanza poem pushing their sarsaparilla.

12299

HB-83 EP-70 5¢ Burnett's Standard Cooking Extracts Choice About New.
Although a different piece, it is virtually identical to Lot 12752 from our sale of the Mayer Collection. Though this is not a rare encasement, it is in wonderful condition with a very high percentage of the silvering remaining. The stamp is totally bright and just about perfectly centered. The mica is crystal clear with only a few extremely minor as-made flaws. A really exceptional piece of Encased.

12309

Nauvoo, IL- Nauvoo House Association $50-$100 Uncut Sheet Remainder
A complete uncut sheet dating from the early 1840's from the second issue of stock to build a Mormon-sponsored hotel in Nauvoo. Although notes from the first issue were signed and issued, notes from the second issue never were. The town's name was originally Commerce, but it was changed to Nauvoo which means "beautiful place." Joseph Smith, Jr. claimed in 1841 that he received a revelation that he needed to build a house in Nauvoo that would serve as "a resting-place for the weary traveler." Smith placed the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon in the cornerstone of the building in 1841. Construction was stopped in 1844 in order to concentrate on building the Nauvoo Temple. The building exists to this day. About Uncirculated.

A very rare piece of Illinois Mormon scrip which allowed anyone in Hancock County to join the militia. This band of Mormon and non-Mormon legionnaires alike was formed to protect Church members from violence. Joseph Smith, Jr. was Lt. General and his signature appears along with those of Wilson Law and that of Fullmer as Paymaster General. The first time we have seen an example of this just plain rare scrip. PMG Very Fine 25.

12312

Shawneetown, IL- Peeples & Ridgway $1 (2); $2 (2) Dec. 1, 1862 Partial Uncut Sheet
These four uncut Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated remainders were clipped from the top of the sheet and display wide margins on three sides. The vignette at left on the $2 notes is particularly striking and features a representation of Liberty pointing ahead while standing on one foot atop a world globe. The notes were a product of Ferd. Mayer & Co., located at 96 Fulton Street in New York. The large central counters were printed in green ink, further adding to the eye appeal. These lovely notes were for the mercantile business of J. McKee Peeples and Thomas S. Ridgway. In 1865 the former partners organized the First National Bank of Shawneetown, charter number 915, with Peeples serving as president and Ridgway serving as cashier.

Batesville, IN- Hillenbrand & Bro. 10¢ Wolka UNL
This note, which is unlisted in the Wolka Indiana reference, marks the starting point of one of America's greatest success stories. John A Hillenbrand's German immigrant father was a woodworker who settled in Cincinnati before the Civil War. He soon became intrigued with the huge stores of timber in nearby southeastern Indiana, and moved his family to Batesville in 1861. Soon after the family's move, John's father died. With two infant sisters to feed, the new head of the Hillenbrand family sold the family's farm and began to purchase small sections of woodland, selling the hardwood to the railroads for track ties and then selling the cleared land to farmers.

Among other enterprises, the hard working Hillenbrand also started a general store, which is where the scrip we offer tonight comes from. In 1906, the elder Hillenbrand purchased the Batesville Casket Company at a bankruptcy sale. Hillenbrand and his four sons turned the company around, eventually becoming the largest producer of coffins in the world. The company has expanded into many other businesses, including hospital equipment, becoming a multi-billion dollar enterprise, but the company, which split into two entities in 2008, is still headquartered in Batesville. Other than the 25¢ example offered below, we know of no other examples from this issuer. PMG About Uncirculated 50.

12317

Hopkinsville, KY- Christian Bank $5 Remainder UNL
An attractive, well margined remainder very similar to Hughes 347 and Haxby G18, but with a few design differences noticed, primarily differences with the counters. Possibly unique as we cannot find a similar one anywhere. The Christian County bank was chartered in 1818 and failed two years later. PMG Very Fine 20.

Hopkinsville, KY- Christian Bank $10 Remainder UNL
A maiden, seated on rocks and watering flowers, is seen in the vignette on this uniface remainder graded PMG Very Fine 25 that was a product of Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. Although there is not a description provided for the $10 denomination listed in Hughes as 348, this would likely be a different note as the $5 we are also offering differs from the Hughes example that is illustrated. Hopkinsville was named for General Samuel Hopkins.

Corporation of the Borough of Elizabeth 1¢ Sep. 26, 1814 Very Fine.

12336

Paterson, NJ- Cataract City Bank $3 Nov. 18, 1856 G6d Wait 1836
A stunning red and black printed note with a touching vignette of a Native American family on a hill overlooking an industrial complex. Originally thought to be a portrayal of the Native Americans bemoaning the despoliation of their pristine habitat, modern research has revealed that the Native Americans are in fact pointing to the site of their new casino, slated to be built after all the factories have closed. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.

Rare New Jersey Glass Works Companies 1¢ Scrip. Three Fine Examples.
Batsto, NJ- Batsto Glass Works/Francis H. Holmes 1¢ Oct. 1, 1868 Wait 4 with small splits and a hinge repair on the back. The company was built in 1846 and operated until 1867. They produced window glass as well as glass for street lamps. Listed as R6 in Wait.
Fislerville, NJ- Fislerville Glass Works/John M. Moore & Co. 1¢ July 1, 1862 Wait 576. The company was established circa 1849 and remained in business until just prior to World War I. Over the years, it was also known as John M. Moore & Co. and Clayton Glass Works. Among the many items the company manufactured was one version of the famous Jenny Lind flask. Wait lists this note as an R7.
(Milford, formerly Kresson), NJ- Milford Glassworks 1¢ Jan. 1, 1855 Wait UNL The factory was bound by Route 73, Braddocks Mill Road, and Dutchtown Road and was in business from 1846 until circa 1863. Among the items manufactured were bottles for druggists, goblets, and green beer bottles.

12338

Cambridge, NY- Washington Cotton and Woollen Manufacturing Company Remainder Sheet of Eight 25¢; 25¢; 12 1/2¢; 12 1/2¢; 6¢; 6¢; 3¢; 3¢ Aug. 21, 1815 Harris 9 (3¢)
An attractive remainder sheet of small change notes from a time period when many merchants and municipalities were forced to issue paper notes due to the shortage of specie as a result of the War of 1812. These notes were to have been payable at the company's "ware-house in Little White-Creek." Only the 3¢ denomination is listed in Harris and it was assigned an R7 rarity rating, 1 to 5 known. PMG Very Fine 25.

12339

Gayhead, NY- B. Spring 6 1/4¢ July 19, 1837 Harris UNL
We have offered this merchant only once before and that was when we sold the massive Harris Collection of New York scrip in September 2003. In fact, the 6 1/4¢ denomination we offer tonight is unlisted in the Harris reference. The merchant listing of B. Spivey on the PMG label is incorrect. Harris lists Gayhead in Greene County, which is mistaken, as this piece very likely comes from the small community of Gayhead in southern Dutchess County. Fine 15.

12340

Ilion, NY Merchant Scrip. Three Examples.
H.J. Fagan- Great American Cash Store 1¢ Harris C15. Listed as R4. This store sold drugs, groceries, crockery, boots, and other items according to Harris. Unnumbered, but boldly signed. A small hole is observed along with edge tears.
Mechanics Co-Operative Association 1¢ Harris 15. Writing in black ink is seen on the face of this note that has areas of staining and nicks at the margins. Harris lists these as R6.
D.B. Ross- Mabens Block 1¢ Harris C75. Listed as R4. The same writing in black ink is observed on this note as well. This dry goods store was housed along with two other businesses in The Maben House, an opera house that was built in 1870. Soiling and small edge tears are observed.
The notes range from Very Good to Fine.

12341

New York, NY- Corporation of the City of New York 1¢ July 3, 1815 Harris 63
A well printed note produced by T&W Mercein located on 93 Gold St. although there is conjecture by Harris that the Sword Brothers may have been involved with these notes as well. John Pintard was the signer of this piece and his signature remains bold. The appealing back includes an attractive coin design with 1/100 within a wreath. The slogan, "A CENT SAVED IS A CENT GOT" is also seen. Harris assigned a rarity rating of R6 to these notes. PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ.

12342

Newburgh, NY- Unknown Issuer 1¢ July 4, 1814 Harris 40
A well margined piece that includes the quotes "Drive Thy Business" and "Let It Not Drive Thee." The notes were good on demand "at my store, 2d house north of the bank, Water-street." Harris only lists this denomination and has rated it as a R7. One of many issues from various merchants and municipalities during this time period due to the shortage of specie as a result of the War of 1812. PMG Very Fine 25 Net with hinge repairs, seen on the back, listed as the reason for the net grade.

Kirtland, OH- The Kirtland Safety Society Bank $2 March 9, 1837 G4 Wolka 1424-06 Nyholm 31 Rust 5
Just the fourth $2 denomination to appear with us at auction. This PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30 example displays some minor staining. It has been signed and countersigned by various signers and scribes in Mormon history. A quick list of signers as follows per the latest Mormon Currency book (1837 - 1937) authored by Douglas A. Nyholm:
Joseph Smith, Jr.- First Prophet and founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints, Sidney Rigdon- Counselor to the Prophet, N.K. Whitney- Early Convert and Bishop, Brigham Young- Leader of the Church after the death of Joseph Smith, Jr., Heber C. Kimball- Counselor in the First Presidency. Used in Salt Lake City due to a shortage of specie.

12348

Kirtland, OH- The Kirtland Safety Society Anti-Banking Co. $3 Jany. 4, 1837 G6 Wolka 1422-03 Nyholm 10 Rust 14
The Kirtland "Anti-Banking" notes were actually the first issue of notes from this bank, with all of the known notes dated January 4, 1837. The reason for this issue was the rejection of the bank's application for a charter from the Ohio state banking regulators in Columbus. With the notes already in hand and the bank ready to open, the bank's officials decided not to let such legal niceties restrain their activities, and simply opened for business issuing the newly renamed currency. This note bears the signatures of S (idney) Rigdon as Sec and J (oseph) Smith, Jr. as Tres. Smith actually signed most all of these early notes, but within a few months he had severed his relationship with the bank, which closed in November of 1837. Smith and Rigdon were each eventually fined $1000 by the State of Ohio for their part in the bank's opening. PMG Very Fine 20, a rare and highly desirable Mormon issue. The last appearance at auction of one of these notes saw a realization of $11,500 for a PMG Fine 12.

12349

Kirtland, OH- The Kirtland Safety Society Bank $3 Jan. 8, 1837 G6 Wolka 1424-08 Nyholm 3 Rust 6
Truly an elusive issue which is always needed to complete a denomination set of these popular notes. Displaying the signatures of J(oseph) Smith, Jr. and S(idney) Rigdon and graded PCGS Apparent Fine 15 due to some minor repairs and an edge tear.

12350

12352

Kirtland, OH- Kirtland Safety Society Bank $10 March 8th, 1837 G10 Nyholm 32 Rust 8
A pleasing Salt Lake City reissue as noticed by the numerous countersignatures in place. According to the new Nyholm reference on Mormon currency a total of just 56 examples were issued with between 20-25 surviving examples known today. This note is a beauty graded PMG Very Fine 25 with bright signatures present. According to Nyholm's reference these countersigned Kirtland notes are the most desirable Mormon paper currency due to the varied signatures that appear.

12353

Kirtland, OH- The Kirtland Safety Society Bank $20 Feb. 10, 1837 G12 Wolka 1424-14 Nyholm 4 Rust 9
A considerably scarcer denomination that is seldom available in any grade signed by J(oseph) Smith, Jr. and S(idney) Rigdon. It grades a nice PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30 due to some minor mounting damage, but otherwise displays clear signatures and great eye appeal.

12354

Kirtland, OH- The Kirtland Safety Society Bank $50 Mar. 9, 1837 G16 Wolka 1424-16 Nyholm 4
Just the fifth example for this denomination we have offered and one of the nicest examples as well. Signed by J (oseph) Smith Jr. and S (idney) Rigdon, this note carrying serial number 79 displays bright paper and pleasing original surfaces. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ.

12355

Kirtland, OH - The Kirtland Safety Society Bank $100 Mar. 9, 1837 G18 Wolka 1424-18 Nyholm 4 Rust 11
An extremely rare note from this Mormon operated bank, with this the key denomination to completing a set of Kirtland issues. We've handled very few of these in recent memory with the last example offered in 2008 realizing $12,650 in a touch nicer grade. The surfaces are bright with the signatures of J (oseph) Smith, Jr. and S. (idney) Rigdon bold and clear. PMG Very Fine 25.

12356

Milford, PA- Milford and Owego Turnpike Road Company $25 (One Share) Aug. 5, 1818
The privately owned Milford and Owego Turnpike Road was incorporated on Jan. 26, 1807. The road ran from Milford, PA to Owego, NY via Willsonville, Palmyra, Dyberry, Canaan, Rix's Gap, and Montrose. According to Wayne County history, "There were eight toll gates on the Milford-Owego Turnpike. Gatekeepers received a 10% commission. The gate near Waymart was one of the most profitable, collecting around $1,000 in 1830. Stage travel on the turnpikes reached its zenith about 1836. Canals and railroads carried freight and passengers at a fraction of the cost and led to a drop in use of the turnpikes after that. They later became part of the public highway system." This well signed, single share of the capital stock measures approximately 4 by 6 1/2 inches, is numbered 1572, and was printed on laid paper. Putnam Catlin signed as treasurer and Rob Rose as president. The certificate includes a circular embossed seal for the company. Choice Crisp Uncirculated.

The daunting task of assembling these rare pieces Utah territory scrip has been eliminated as offered here this evening is a group of five different examples. Of particular interest is the 50¢ note with the full signatures of Heber C. Kimball and Brigham Young. All other White Notes carry just B. Young. The 25¢ grades PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ, the 50¢ PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ, the $1 PMG About Uncirculated 53, the $2 PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ and lastly the $3 PMG Uncirculated 62.

Great Salt Lake City, UT- Deseret Currency Association $2 Sept. 25, 1858 Nyholm 110 Rust 96
According to the Mormon Currency book by Douglas E. Nyholm, the type 2 notes were printed with the engraved signature of Brigham Young. These are one of the more common issues though this piece marks just the first time we have offered this desirable Utah Territory scrip. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ.

A PCGS Fine 15 note with neither a paid or entered stamp.

12373

St. George, UT- St. George Stake Tithing Storehouse 5¢ Aug. 15, 1891 Nyholm 326
This denomination is not pictured in the Rust reference. In the newly released Nyholm reference, this design is pictured with the added comment, "This along with the previous 10¢ note are currently unique with this title." Later it is written that "the Stake Tithing Storehouse is only known to the extent of three specimens, one of which is in the Salt Lake City Church History Museum." Several edge tears are noticed with the longest weighing in at approximately a half an inch. Overall, this is a rare and important Mormon note. PMG Very Good 8 with mention of splits.

Four Rare Early 19th Century Small Change Notes.
Newark, NJ- York and Jersey Steam-Boat Ferry Company 1¢ Feb. 10, 1816 Wait UNL. Similar to Wait 1595 except for the date. Issued in New York, but payable in Newark. Small areas of paper loss are observed along with soiling.
Princeton, NJ- Borough of Princeton 1¢ Nov. 14, 1814 Wait 2054. Listed by Wait as R7. This torn example has been backed.
Trenton Mills, NJ- G.H. Wells 3¢ Sep. 28, 1815 Wait 2446. A well margined example of this small change note listed as R7 by Wait.
Philadelphia, PA- Frankford and Bristol Turnpike Road Company 1¢ Jan. 9, 1815 Hoober UNL. Only a 5¢ example is listed in Hoober (305-754). Splits at center are observed.
The notes are Very Good to Fine.

Confederate Notes

12379

T4 $50 1861 PF-1.
A strong central vignette is seen on this scarce Montgomery $50. We do not recall having seen a cancellation on the face of an 1861 Montgomery note, which reads, "Cancelled By, F.H. Hatch Collector N. Orleans." Francis H. Hatch was the collector of customs for the New Orleans Custom House which still stands on Canal Street near the Mississippi River. A large stamp on the back of this note indicates the date this note was received and paid 8 cents in interest at the custom house on June 8th 1861. PMG indicates repairs, which include closed cancellations and strengthening of some of the design elements. The vignette of slaves hoeing cotton remains unaffected by the modifications. PMG Fine 12 Net.

12380

T10 PF-7 $10 1861.
This rare variety has "Receivable" in the upper left obligation clause misspelled as "Reoeivable." This is possibly the nicest example known, as Fricke's census list includes notes only up to the VG-Fine grade level. Fricke also states this is a rarity 13+, three to five known. PMG Choice Fine 15 Net with splits, pieces missing (which are minor).

12381

T11 PF-5 $5 1861.
This T11 is of the rare Fricke "ies" variety where an underscore is found after the first line in the upper left obligation clause. This is a remnant from a previous clause. This note is definitely one of the finest known of this variety as Fricke's condition census stops at the VG grade level. Research has uncovered that one exchanged hands for $1550 in AG in 2007 and another example for $1700 in Good in 2008. We fully expect this much nicer example to earn considerably more. The apparent grade is due to minor restorations, which is not an understatement. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.

12382

T12 PF-1 $5 1861.
T12 is one of the rarest Confederate type notes. The note was printed by Jules Manouvrier, a prominent New Orleans lithographer and printer. Because of its light blue color, the back tended to fade rapidly when exposed to circulation. Also, because of its rather simplistic design, it became unpopular with both the public and the Confederate authorities, who elected not to renew the Manouvrier contract. There is also the "little" matter of the careless shipping of the notes and how that played into the cancelled printing contract, but we will let the historians duke it out regarding that subject. Many of the surviving T12's are problem items or have substantial defects, but this evenly circulated piece has emerged from the grading service with no adverse comments whatever. In April 2010, we sold a PMG VF 25 for $3737 and expect this PCGS Very Fine 25 example to do as well, if not better.

12383

T43 PF-1 $2 1862.
True VF notes of this design are very elusive as the price jump from Fine to VF can be as much as ten-fold. Also, choice examples in any grade are difficult to locate. This charming note covers both of those bases plus it is on the cusp of the XF grade. PCGS does not publish a Confederate census, but a perusal of the PMG statistics show that they have graded only one example higher with none equal. Very Fine 35PPQ.

12384

T64 PF-1 $500 1864.
A nice red overprint is found on this $500 with serial number 3876-D. A Confederate Treasury stamp is also found in the lower left corner of this note that has a considerable amount of paper originality. The PCGS label reads, ex: Louis Eliasburg (sic) Collection. Eliasberg is best-known for assembling the only "complete" collection of United States coins. He passed away in 1976. Extremely Fine 40.

12385

Ball 13 Cr. 2A $100 1861 Bond PMG Very Fine 30.
This rare bond was issued at Richmond as Montgomery has been crossed-out. Only 500 examples of this bond were issued after the move of the Confederate capital to Richmond. We sold a Ball 13 in raw VF for $5175 in May 2007.

Russian-American Company 25 Kopek ND (1816-1867) Printed on Walrus Skin Parchment Pick UNL
Eighteen 25 kopek examples, all with discernable serial numbers, are recorded in Zander's census. Of those 18, a mere 7 are held in private collections. This PMG Very Fine 25 example is housed in a comment-free holder. It is not uncommon for these pieces to exhibit soiling as this piece does, and in this case the serial number is no longer visible. The note measures 63mm by 55mm and is printed in black ink on a thick, off-white, textured skin. The corners are evenly clipped. The majority of the text on both sides remains visible, with the wording within the company seal clear and distinguishable overall.

Chartered by Czar Paul I in 1799, the Russian-American Company had a monopoly on trade in Russian America. The territory included the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, and extended as far south as present-day Northern California. Fort Ross, located in Sonoma County, CA was established by the Russian-American Company (RAC) in 1812. The state-sponsored trading company also had Fort Elizabeth built on the island of Kauai, Hawaii in an attempt to gain influence there as well. The RAC was similar in scope to the Hudson's Bay Company and the East India Companies.

Notes were produced by the Russian-American Company and were issued circa 1816 to 1867. Seven different denominations have been reported: 10, 25, and 50 Kopeks along with 1, 5, 10, and 25 Roubles.

One of the primary businesses of the Russian-American Company was fur trading. The notes are often referred to as "walrus or sealskin money" because some of the notes were actually printed on walrus skins or other skins, including this example. Otter skins were shipped in waterproof walrus skin bags and the bags were then recycled to produce the notes. In Russia the notes were known as Kozhanye (skins).

In 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward negotiated the sale of Alaska to the United States for $7 million dollars and the RAC ceased operations. The purchase was known as "Seward's Folly" until gold was discovered.

The Alaskan Parchment Scrip of the Russian American Company 1816-1867, Randolph Zander's 1996 48-page monograph, is the most comprehensive reference on the subject. Zander expanded upon Ted Uhl's earlier research. In the monograph, Zander explains that beginning circa 1842, changes to the physical appearance of certain notes were performed by hand and were made as a means of differentiating the various denominations, as much of the native population was illiterate. The upper corners of the 10 kopek notes were holed, all four corners of the 25 kopek pieces were clipped, and the 50 kopek examples were clipped at the upper two corners.

An estimated 150-200 total pieces of Russian-American Company scrip are believed to survive today, with many of the survivors housed in museums around the world, including the Hermitage, the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography in St. Petersburg, the Smithsonian, the National Museum in Helsinki, and the Ulster Museum in Belfast; leaving very few pieces available to private collectors.

We were pleased to offer a rare Russian-American Company 1 Rouble ND (1816-1867) Pick UNL in our recent Memphis auction, the first time that note had been available to collectors in 28 years. That scarce note, printed on parchment and one of two green ink examples known, sold for $18,975.

While this example may not possess quite the eye appeal that piece held, this Kozhanye has added appeal in its own right due to the material it was printed on. Also long held in a private collection, this note was last offered as lot 872 in the June 1981 New England Rare Coin Auctions' Long Beach I Sale. Factoring in the scarcity of the Russian-American Company notes in general, rare auction appearances, along with the interest they hold for collectors of Russian and American numismatic material, we estimate this prized piece will realize...

Batesville, AR - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 592 The NB of Batesville Ch. # (S)8864
A low serial number is printed on this example from a popular Arkansas community which is one of just three large size notes known carrying the second title. PCGS Apparent Very Good 10 due to tape repairs at left.

12477

Clarksville, AR - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 601 The First NB Ch. # (S)9633
One of four notes known from this bank, which is still unreported in small size. According to Track & Price, this is the only note to be offered at public auction. PMG Choice Fine 15, with the notation "stains," which are indeed present, although hardly a serious problem.
From The Lone Star Collection

12478

Clarksville, AR - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The First NB Ch. # (S)9633
One of four notes known from this bank, which is still unreported in small size. PMG Choice Fine 15, with the notation trimmed, although nowhere do the margins intrude into the design.
From The Lone Star Collection

12479

Clarksville, AR - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 633 The Farmers NB Ch. # 11580
Common in small size but not so in large, with this the first Series 1902 example to be offered from the bank in more than twenty years according to Track & Price. PMG Fine 12.
From The Lone Star Collection

12480

DeQueen, AR - $20 1882 Date Back Fr. 555 The First NB Ch. # (S)5929
This is the lower grade of the two 1882 $20 Date Backs extant from all Arkansas banks combined. Its higher grade sibling sold in our Memphis sale for $9775, and is now in very strong hands, making this offering very likely the last opportunity for this state's collectors to obtain an example of this type and denomination for the foreseeable future. PMG Very Good 10, sound for the grade with good color and plenty of remaining eye appeal.
From The Lone Star Collection

12481

Fayetteville, AR - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 613 The First NB Ch. # (S)7346
Not exactly the highest grade piece we've ever offered, but one of only about two dozen Arkansas Red Seals known from all issuers in the state combined. PMG Good 6.
From The Lone Star Collection

12482

Gentry, AR - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 12340
An extremely scarce one bank town in far NW Arkansas. With only one large note extant from here (a piece which has not seen the light of day for the past two decades), Series 1929 examples represent the only way for collectors to cover this community. They are very tough to find as well, with the population standing at just eight pieces. This specimen bears the second highest grade of the group. Pleasing PMG graded Very Fine 25.
From The Lone Star Collection

12483

Green Forest, AR - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 10422
One of the very scarcest banks in the state, which is unknown in large size and issued fewer small size examples than any other bank in Arkansas, having printed just 96 sheets in two years before closing its doors in June of 1931. Two of the four known survivors have never been offered at public sale, including this piece, which is offered here to the collecting community for the first time. Interestingly, the President of this bank, F.O. Butt, also served as the President of the First NB in nearby Eureka Springs, and signed notes from that institution as well. PMG Very Good 10, solid for the grade and with no flaws worthy of mention.

Hartford, AR - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 607 The Farmers & Miners NB Ch. # (S)11830
Track & Price lists no public appearances for a large size example bearing the first title nomenclature though two are known. Listed as VG in the census it clearly appears in much better grade. Graded PCGS Apparent Fine 15 for restorations.

12486

Huttig, AR - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 10060
A solid example of a small note from this tiny Union County community. PMG Very Fine 25.

Lake Village, AR - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 13632 Uncut Sheet
The only known uncut sheet from this Arkansas bank, and one of only three all serial number 1 sheets known from the entire state. PMG has graded the sheet About Uncirculated 55 EPQ, and, save for folds between the notes and a couple of folds in the bottom note, it appears that each of the six number 1 examples is a real Gem. Expect some serious bidding until one lucky collector is fortunate enough to take this sheet home tonight.

Lamar, AR - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The First NB Ch. # 12238

Malvern, AR - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The First NB Ch. # 7634
Collectors have so far turned up only four large notes on this bank and this is our second to offer at auction. The last auction appearance we can find on a Series 1902 for this Hot Spring County bank was in April 2010 when a Very Good $10 Plain Back went for $1438. PMG Fine 12 with faded signatures.
From The Lone Star Collection

12491

Mansfield, AR - $20 1929 Ty. 2 The NB of Mansfield Ch. # 11196
This Sebastian County bank was chartered in 1918 and issued notes through the end of the Series 1929 era. However, the number of Type II notes issued by the bank was very small; for $20s the total was $900. This piece was the first note of that $900 issued and bears serial number 1. Even wear is seen, and the serial number and charter number overprint remain bold. PMG Very Fine 20.

12492

Mena, AR - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 616 The First NB Ch. # (S)7163
Large notes only from this tougher Mena bank. PMG Very Fine 20, with clear pen signatures.

Morrilton, AR - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 630 The First NB Ch. # 10434
Large notes only from this just plain rare bank, with this one of only four examples listed in the census from Morrilton. The last note from this one bank community offered at public sale realized nearly $2000 when sold earlier this year, and it would not surprise us if this evenly circulated PMG Fine 15 specimen fetched just a bit less.

12494

Newark, AR - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 600 The First NB Ch. # 9022
A pleasing piece which is even higher grade than the specimen we sold in our Memphis sale for $1150. PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ.

12495

Newark, AR - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 618 The First NB Ch. # (S)9022
While Series 1929 examples are occasionally offered from this institution, large notes are much more difficult to obtain, with only one such offering since 2002. We sold that note in last year's FUN sale, where it garnered $2530. Expect this attractive piece, which grades exactly the same, to realize a similar figure. PMG Very Fine 25, with vivid purple signatures.

12496

Prairie Grove, AR - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 599 The First NB Ch. # 8030

12497

Rector, AR - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 658 The First NB Ch. # 10853
A very scarce note from the only bank to issue in this Clay County community. Just a literal handful of large notes are reported from Rector, with the last example to sell, which was not all that much nicer than this piece, realizing $2990 in September of 2009. PMG Very Good 10, with a few margin splits that affect nothing.

Bellflower, CA - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 12328
A tough note to acquire from this Los Angeles County issuer. One of just four examples enumerated in the census. The last note we sold in this grade was in 2007 and that example realized $1955. Expect this clean PCGS Very Fine 25 to sell in the neighborhood of...

Berkeley, CA - $5 1882 Date Back Fr. 537 The First NB Ch. # (P)5380

12504

Berkeley, CA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 635 First NB Ch. # 12320
Large notes only from this scarce bank, the last Berkeley charter to issue. Interestingly, this major city did not have a single bank which elected to issue Series 1929 examples. PMG Very Fine 20.

Crockett, CA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The First NB Ch. # (P)11326

12506

Crows Landing, CA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 9765
This is one of California's most sought after banks and also bears one of the truly great names in Nationals. We sold this piece two years ago for $3737.50, and would not be at all surprised if it fetched even more this evening. Evenly circulated and problem free PMG Choice Fine 15.

Ducor, CA - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 654 The First NB Ch. # 10301

12508

Hardwick, CA - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 655 The First NB Ch. # (P)10364
This is a just plain rare central California note which comes from the only issuer in this small agricultural community. Four large (and two small) examples make up the entire census from here, with this piece one of the reported quartet of large notes. That is a figure that has not changed in recent years, and, with a miniscule $270 outstanding from here in large, might never change. This is the Horwedel collection specimen, which sold for $4140 back in 2004, and should be worth no less today. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20, with a painted over paper clip stain.

12509

Los Angeles, CA - $50 1902 Plain Back Fr. 685 The Pacific NB Ch. # 12454
A lovely note with a most interesting pedigree. It was part of a small group of $50 and $100 large notes from this bank which walked into Superior Stamp & Coin, when they were on Seventh Street in downtown Los Angeles, in the summer of 1971. Among other things, several cut sheets of low number fifties and hundreds were sold at barely over face value. The seller at the time was Mr. Smith's widow. [E.M. Smith signed these notes as President of this bank.] Many were quickly bought by local collectors, but with nearly forty years having passed, the majority of these items have now been widely dispersed and appear at irregular intervals once or perhaps twice per year. Most all are identical, with many of the notes tightly margined, but otherwise pristine, with great embossing, colors and signatures. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ, a lovely note bearing single digit serial number 2 as a bonus.

Oakland, CA - $50 1882 Date Back Fr. 560 The First NB Ch. # (P)2248

12514

Selma, CA - $50 1882 Date Back Fr. 563 The First NB Ch. # (P)5395
Seven notes are known from this rare Fresno County bank, with six being high denomination Second Charters, four fifties and two hundreds. This PMG graded Fine 12 Net example carries nice pen signatures. The net grade comes from a couple of trivial repairs, none of which are really worthy of mention.

12515

Tulare, CA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 600 The First NB Ch. # (P)8626
A very scarce note from the only collectible bank to issue from here. PMG Very Good 8, well circulated but still quite acceptable, with the signatures clear and intact.

12516

Weed, CA - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 9873
A bright and nicely centered beauty bearing serial number E000001A, a number one note from one of the most avidly collected communities in the country. Over five years have passed since an example bearing one of these more popular town names has been offered. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

Brush, CO - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The First NB Ch. # (W)6437
Only our second foray in large size with this charter number at auction. This also becomes just the seventh large to be reported on this Morgan County bank. PCGS Very Good 8.

12519

Canon City, CO - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The First NB Ch. # (W)3879
This is a rare large only bank and this note raises the census to a meager six. Notes on this Fremont County bank have routinely brought over $2000 in the previous decade and we should expect more of the same. The holder has incorrectly listed this note as a Date Back, which will gladly be addressed by PMG. PMG Choice Fine 15.

12520

Trinidad, Colorado Territory - $5 1875 Fr. 401 The First NB Ch. # 2300
This new to the census Territorial example is well circulated but intact, with the holder mentioning repairs, likely of a few minor splits. With the other two Territorial examples from this bank in very strong hands, this may be the only opportunity for many years for collectors to add a Trinidad Territorial to their holdings. PMG Good 6 Net.

Norwich, CT - $2 Original Fr. 387 The Thames NB Ch. # 657
An evenly circulated Lazy Two with a more than decent appearance for the grade. PCGS Very Good 8.

Norwich, CT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 467 The Thames NB Ch. # (N)657
We sold a raw Fine $10 Brown Back on this bank for $1840 in January 2010. The current example is a nice PMG Very Fine 30 with printed dark signatures.

Norwich, CT - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 494 The Thames NB Ch. # 657
This $20 Brown Back has a different president than that found on the $5 example above. The net grade is due to a tear, which is minor. PMG Fine 12 Net.

Wilmington, DE - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The Union NB Ch. # (E)1390
A new note for the census that also seizes the highest grade recorded for a large size example on this scarce bank. In the last couple of years, we have seen slightly lower third party graded $10 1902 Plain Backs bring $1725 and $2070 on this charter number. Look for this charming note to bring even more. PCGS About New 53PPQ with dark pen signatures.

12525

Lavonia, GA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 629 The First NB Ch. # 8470

Farmer City, IL - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The John Weedman NB Ch. # 3407
The John Weedman NB is certainly one of the better private name banks. The officers are F.L. Weedman and C.O. Gillespie. This bank is much tougher in small than in large and this is one of the nicest Series 1929 notes you will find on this charter number. PCGS Very Fine 20.

12531

Hindsboro, IL - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 5538

12533

Moline, IL - $1 Original Fr. 380 The First NB Ch. # 160
A just plain rare note from one of the scarcest of this state's multi-bank communities, with both of Moline's National Banks short lived ventures with few survivors. This example, which is newly discovered and offered to the collecting community for the first time, is only the third specimen reported from this institution. It is housed in a PCGS Fine 12 holder, with no adverse comments whatever, displaying even circulation and clear signatures. If rarity and desirability are any guide here, expect a realization in the vicinity of...

12535

Piper City, IL - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The First NB Ch. # 5322

12536

Rock Island, IL - $50 1882 Brown Back Fr. 513 The Rock Island NB Ch. # (M)1889
Large notes only from this scarce Rock Island bank, with high denominations the only notes issued after the close of the first charter period. This specimen is the only $50 Brown Back known from the bank, and has been off the market since our consignor obtained it back in 2002. Pen signed PMG Very Fine 20, with a few closed pinholes, none of which we can see even under close inspection.

Brazil, IN - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 600 The First NB Ch. # 3583
A bright, crisp PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ example with fresh paper quality. Wonderful signatures remain quite bright and detailed. One of the nicer examples bearing an always popular country name.

Crawfordsville, IN - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The Elston NB Ch. # 7773
One of the nicer notes from this Montgomery County institution. Graded PCGS New 60PPQ, perhaps due to the tight margins on the sides.

12539

Rochester, IN - $5 Original Fr. 399 The First NB Ch. # 1952
A scarce bank which issued Original Series notes only for less than four years before liquidating in 1876. By 1910, a meager $283 was outstanding. An impressive PMG Choice Fine 15 note with lovely blue penned signatures of E.P and A.C. Copeland. PMG mentions a tear, but it is just a margin split that barely enters the design.

12540

Thorntown, IN - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 633 Home NB Ch. # (M)5842
Common in small size but quite rare in large, with this piece the first Blue Seal reported. A mere four notes are listed in the large census from this bank, with only two offerings coming during the past twenty years. Pen signed PMG Choice Fine 15.

Council Bluffs, IA - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 468 The First NB Ch. # 1479

Lexington, KY - $5 1929 Ty. 2 The Lexington City NB Ch. # 906
The small hoard of high grade Lexington notes that this example came from produced very nice, well embossed pieces that varied only slightly from one note to another based on margin size. The almost perfect margins on this piece allow it to stand out from that crowd. Most recently, another PMG 67 realized $920 in our January FUN Auction. PMG Superb Gem Unc 67 EPQ.

An elusive issue marked by a low survival rate when compared to all small size Nationals extant with just over 300 Type 2 $50 notes known. It is hard to determine what the reason for the grade was as this note displays all of the attributes associated with a Choice CU example. PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ.

Bowdoinham, ME - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 480 The National Village Bank Ch. # 944
An exceptionally rare bank which issued First Charters and Brown Backs only before closing in 1890. Depending on what census you favor, either one or two examples are listed, but this new to the census piece is unquestionably the finest known and the first example from this bank to be offered at public sale in two decades. It comes with an old newspaper article which PMG has slabbed in the note's custom holder detailing its reason for survival, having been found in circulation by a Mr. Harold Adams of Portland, Maine. Mr. Adams noted the signature of the cashier, H.P. Kendall, and turned the note over to Mr. Kendall's brother, W.B. Kendall. The article notes that the bill "was in a fine state of preservation," and it certainly is, having been graded Very Fine 25 Net by PMG, with a couple of painted over rust repairs. Any estimate here is simply a guess, but those who appreciate real rarity will probably drive the price here to the level of...

12554

Dexter, ME - $20 1882 Date Back Fr. 552 The First NB Ch. # (N)2259
An excessively rare bank with just three examples known, this being by far the finest. All have been closely held for decades, with none ever having been offered at public sale until tonight. Any estimate here is simply a guess, but if rarity, quality and desirability are any guide, expect this PCGS graded pen signed Extremely Fine 45PPQ beauty to easily reach or exceed...

12555

Rockland, ME - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 496 The Rockland NB Ch. # 1446
A wonderfully original high grade Maine $20 Brown Back with the kind of quality that is almost impossible to obtain today. From the colors to the signatures to this note's overall appearance, this is an example that would please even the most discerning collector. PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ.

12556

Rockland, ME - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 485 The Lime Rock NB Ch. # 2097
A truly scarce Maine bank, with this new to the census Brown Back $10 likely the finest known example from this short lived charter. PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ.

12557

Rockland, ME - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 488 The North NB Ch. # 2371
A lovely Maine Brown Back with balanced margins, bright colors and inks, and clear pen signatures. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ.

12558

Searsport, ME - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Searsport NB Ch. # 2642
A common institution in large size, but scarce in small, with this just the fifth Series 1929 example from this bank to emerge. To date, only two of the other four known small size notes have made auction appearances. Bright paper is noted, as well as a small ink stain that PCGS mentions. It is indeed a very small ink stain and hardly worthy of mention. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.

12559

Thomaston, ME - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 480 The Thomaston NB Ch. # 890
This new to the census Brown Back is one of the very few early notes to surface from this institution, with Track & Price showing no offerings of any First Charter or Brown Back from here during the past twenty years. Pen signed PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ.

12560

Annapolis, MD - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 650 The Farmers NB Ch. # 1244
Annapolis is a much tougher state capital to obtain a note from, with your choice limited to a paltry two banks that issued large notes only. It has been almost ten years since we were last able to offer an example from either bank. PMG Very Good 10 Net, with PVC damage listed as the reason for the net grade.

12561

Baltimore, MD - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 493 The First NB Ch. # (E)204
Wholesome paper is seen on this note. It has been a couple of years since another Brown Back has been offered from this bank. PCGS Fine 15.

12562

Attleboro, MA - $5 1882 Date Back Fr. 534 The First NB Ch. # (N)2232
Bright for the grade with dark printed signatures. PMG Choice Fine 15.

12563

Boston, MA - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 466 The Third NB Ch. # 359
Our records indicate this piece has been tightly held for almost fifteen years when it was last sold in a 1996 auction. The moderately circulated paper is still wholesome, with a colorful seal and charter number and bold printed signatures. It is an ideal representative for the grade. PMG Very Fine 25.

12564

Boston, MA - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 469 The NB of the Republic Ch. # 379
One of just five Brown Backs in the census for this bank. This example displays great signatures. PMG Very Fine 20.

12565

Boston, MA - $20 1875 Fr. 431 The North NB Ch. # 525
One of just two examples for the type enumerated in the Track & Price census for this institution that issued Originals and Series 1875 notes only. Grading PCGS Fine 12, this blemish free note should see spirited bidder participation as it has returned home.

12566

Boston, MA - $1 1875 Fr. 384 The New England NB Ch. # 603
An attractive Ace displaying brighter paper than normal at this grade level. PMG Fine 12 with nice penned signatures.

12567

Boston, MA - $1 Original Fr. 380 The National City Bank Ch. # 609
One of just four pleasing Original $1 examples known for this issuer. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20 due to some mounting damage and repairs on the back.

12568

Boston, MA - $1 Original Fr. 380 The National Rockland Bank of Roxbury Ch. # 615
A very rare title from this extremely scarce bank, with the census showing just five notes bearing this nomenclature, with this now one of only three original aces. This example is the finest of the three, grading PMG Very Fine 20.

12569

Boston, MA - $1 1875 Fr. 383 The Faneuil Hall NB Ch. # 847
Only First Charter Aces and Deuces are known from this institution, which lasted from 1865 until 1909 and issued up through the Red Seal design type. We anticipate that this PCGS Apparent Fine 15 with a stain mentioned should finish in the area of...

12570

Boston, MA - $50 1875 Fr. 444a The State NB Ch. # 1028
A new to the census Series 1875 $50 which raises the number of known examples of this rare type and denomination to 65 from all banks in all states combined. It is an evenly circulated and nicely pen signed specimen, with good color and bright inks along with one small edge tear on the left side, which has caused PCGS to label this as an Apparent Very Fine 20. Nevertheless, this piece is rare enough to see bidding easily reach and perhaps well exceed...

12571

Boston, MA - $2 1875 Fr. 392 The National Revere Bank Ch. # 1295
The founders of this bank capitalized on the popularity of Paul Revere's name when choosing the title for their National Bank in 1865. Tonight this Lazy Deuce bearing Revere's name returns to Boston to be featured with a number of other Massachusetts rarities. Collectors will chase this note for its eye appeal, despite a missing corner at upper left. It remains a pleasing mid-grade item, with its bold red overprint, deeply printed devices, and still strong signatures. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.

12572

Cambridge, MA - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 590 The Charles River NB Ch. # (N)731
No bank in this historic community can be considered as anything other than scarce, but this institution, which lasted only until 1914, is nothing but rare. Until the discovery of this example, the census showed only a single Original Series deuce along with a pair of Series 1875 fives, with no offerings of any kind in over ten years. This evenly circulated Date Back is new to the census, and offers one fortunate collector the opportunity to add a new bank to their holdings this evening. Pleasing PMG Very Fine 25.

12573

Dedham, MA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The Dedham NB Ch. # 12567
This is one of only five large in the census for this charter number. Also, it is only the second large we have offered since 1990. PMG Fine 12.

12574

Fall River, MA - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 466 The Second NB Ch. # 439
This is the first time we have offered a note from this venerable institution. Fine signatures remain on this note that displays some minor edge damage as noticed by PCGS. PCGS Apparent Fine 15.

12575

Fall River, MA - $1 Original Fr. 380 The Fall River NB Ch. # 590
One of only seven First Charters documented on this Bristol County bank with six of those being aces. In September 2005, we sold a VF ace on this charter number for $2990. PMG Very Good 8.

12576

Gloucester, MA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The Cape Ann NB Ch. # 899
One of the nicest notes from this Essex County bank to be offered by us in quite some time. The bottom margin is cut into a bit at the lower right. PCGS Choice About New 58.

12577

Lowell, MA - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 486 The Traders NB Ch. # (N)4753
There were ten issuing banks in town and this bank is easily one of the most elusive. The Traders only has six large notes recorded and that includes this PMG Very Good 10 piece with nice pen signatures. We have never before been able to offer at auction an example on this Middlesex County bank, and we can find records of only two such offerings during the last 20 years.

12578

Nantucket, MA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The Pacific NB Ch. # 714
A new piece to the census from this extremely well-collected community. Nice PMG Very Fine 35 EPQ, with sharp signatures.

12579

Salem, MA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The Merchants NB Ch. # (N)726
Almost a full 20 years of auctions and this makes just the third time that we have been able to offer a note on this scarce Salem bank. The two other occasions were in November 1992 and September 2005. The 2005 note was a $10 1902 DB in VF and it brought $1725. One can expect this nicer PMG Extremely Fine 40 note to bring more.

12580

Springfield, MA - $5 1875 Fr. 401 The First NB Ch. # 14
A more than acceptable specimen from this low charter bank housed in a PMG Very Good 10 holder. The pen signatures remain very strong and, despite honest wear, the note appears defect free.

12581

Springfield, MA - $5 1875 Fr. 401 The Chicopee NB Ch. # 988
An exceptionally bright example which fetched just over $3000 when last offered two years ago. PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ, with the typical New England trim.

12582

Springfield, MA - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The Chapin NB Ch. # 2435
This private named bank exited the Massachusetts banking stage in October 1929. This $10 has a better appearance than PCGS's comments concerning ink erosion in signatures; edge and internal splits and tears would tend to indicate. PCGS Apparent Very Good 10.

12583

Taunton, MA - $1 1875 Fr. 383 The Taunton NB Ch. # 957
Auction appearances have been quite limited for notes from this Bristol County issuer that was liquidated in March, 1917. PCGS Apparent Very Good 10, with about a half inch edge tear in the right margin.

12584

Wareham, MA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The NB of Wareham Ch. # 1440
This is a very scarce Plymouth County bank which was this community's sole issuer. This is the finest note available from here, grading PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

12585

Wareham, MA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The NB of Wareham Ch. # 1440
Natural paper wave rolls across this nicely preserved $10 from Plymouth County. In September 2006, we sold a raw note in the same grade that is one serial number removed from the current example and it went for $1265. PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.

12586

Webster, MA - $5 1882 Date Back Fr. 534 The First NB Ch. # (N)2312
Broad margins are seen on this bright and attractive Date Back. The overall appearance is that of a much higher graded note and the stamped signatures remain strong. PCGS About New 53.

12587

Worcester, MA - $1 Original Fr. 380 The Citizens NB Ch. # 765
This bank issued First Charters and Brown Backs only before it was liquidated in 1903. To date, only a half dozen notes are known from this bank, with this note being the last piece discovered as part of the New England cash hoard in 2007. The color is excellent for the grade and the paper is solid. PMG Fine 12.

12588

Yarmouth, MA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The First NB Ch. # 516
Perhaps the finest known large size example from this Barnstable County issuer. Well margined with plenty of originality and bold stamped signatures of T.S. Crowell and John H. Clark. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.

12589

Coldwater, MI - $1 Original Fr. 382 The Southern Michigan NB Ch. # 1924
A very desirable ace with dark inks, white paper, ample margins, and with excellent black pen signatures. A PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ note that earned every single grade point.

12590

Detroit, MI - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 631 First & Old NB Ch. # 10527
A lovely note for type that displays strong embossing and ideal inks. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.

12591

Ortonville, MN - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The Citizens NB Ch. # (M)6747
According to our records, this is one of just three pieces that have appeared at auction from this scarce bank. The other two pieces, both Red Seals, appeared in 1996 and 1973. This piece has a bold overprint and some minor edge splits and restorations which are mentioned by the grading service. PCGS Apparent Fine 15.

12592

Burlington Junction, MO - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The First NB Ch. # 6242
An incredibly rare note from one of the smallest banks in the state. The census shows only two large and one small note extant from this single bank location, with the last offering at public sale of any note but this coming on a 1980 fixed price list when the Sweeney collection was dispersed. This newly discovered pen signed example offers the opportunity for one lucky present generation collector to add a new town to his or her holdings. PMG Fine 12, with the notation "poorly cut," a reference to the top margin being trimmed into the design.

12593

Saint Louis, MO - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 484 The NB of Commerce Ch. # (M)4178
This bank has provided many collectors with type Brown Backs. The apparent grade is due to edges trimmed; damage in lower right corner. The damage is in fact a rounded corner. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25 with strong penned signatures.

12594

Butte City, MT - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The Silver Bow NB Ch. # (W)4283
Large notes only from this scarce bank, which bears one of the great titles used on any National. There are only eleven serial numbers documented on this bank that liquidated in June 1922. Of those eleven notes, this example has the highest grade. The net grade is due to repairs. PMG Very Fine 25 Net with purple rubber stamped signatures.

12595

Twin Bridges, MT - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The First NB Ch. # (W)11008
Simply a beautiful note on a rare bank that exhibits paper originality and ideal inks. The penned signatures are dark with a vanity signature of the cashier and a neatly executed signature of the vice president. This Madison County bank issued large notes only and it had a meager $590 outstanding as of 1935. A note worthy of the finest Montana collections. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ.

12596

Blue Hill, NE - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 469 The First NB Ch. # 3419
One of only two $5 Brown Backs extant from this small town bank, and the only one to have been on the market during the past twenty years. While clearly well circulated, it is fully intact, with good color, a decent appearance, and a vanity signature of the cashier which spans the entire note from bottom to top. PMG Good 6.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12597

Brownville, NE - $10 1875 Fr. 416 The First NB Ch. # 1846
An extremely scarce note from a bank which issued First Charter notes only before liquidating in 1886. This example is the only $10 known on the bank, and one of just eight such examples reported from the entire state. While well circulated, it is exceptionally bright for the grade, and displays sharp signatures as well. PMG Very Good 8.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12598

Butte, NE - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 653 The First NB Ch. # 9623
This makes the fourth large we have ever offered at Heritage, but it is the first example to retain its signatures. Blue rubber stamped signatures are of E.R. Johnson and Elmer E. Boynton. PMG Choice Fine 15.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12599

Central City, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Central City NB Ch. # 8385
An elusive small size note whose survivors can be counted on one hand. The last example from here we sold was a Very Good which realized $1438. With increased popularity for Nebraska Nationals, expect that realization to be heartily surpassed. PMG Choice Fine 15.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12600

Chappell, NE - $20 1902 Date Back Fr. 645 The First NB Ch. # (W)9790
An excessively rare note from the sole bank to issue in this tiny Deuel County location. While two notes are listed in the census from this large only bank, neither has ever been available to collectors at public sale, making any estimate here just a surmise. PMG Fine 12 Net, with a repaired top right corner, but where can another note on this town be obtained at any price?
From The Cornhusker Collection

12601

Craig, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 9591
A very scarce note from the only bank to issue in Craig. Track & Price notes only two offerings from Craig during the past twenty five years, with this the first Series 1929 example available to collectors since 1985. PCGS Very Fine 25.

12602

David City, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Central Nebraska NB Ch. # 3801
We last offered an example from this bank in 2005. Although there is an adequate population of notes recorded, there are relatively few opportunities to acquire a note from this first name town. PMG Very Fine 30.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12603

Dodge, NE - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 616 The First NB Ch. # (W)7333
A lovely note from one of the smallest and rarest banks in the state. This institution existed with the minimum statutory capitalization, and, during its twenty years in business, managed to issue a miniscule 300 sheets of Red Seals and 723 sheets of Date Backs and Plain Backs, or about 50 sheets per year. Just two examples are known, with this by far the nicer of the pair, with none ever having been available to the collecting community at public sale. Pen signed PCGS Extremely Fine 40, a great Nebraska note worth whatever it brings this evening.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12604

Friend, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 2960
A more elusive Type 2 note from this Saline County issuer. It displays one of the more popular town names for National collectors. PMG Very Fine 30.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12605

Imperial, NE - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 653 The First NB Ch. # 9762
This is one of only five large listed in the census for this bank located in remote Chase County. Signatures of Cashier J.T. Johnston and Vice President E.F. Bailey are in two different dark shades of purple. PMG Very Fine 20.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12606

Kimball, NE - $5 1929 Ty. 2 The American NB Ch. # 13420
An absolute screamer of a note, with near perfect centering and total originality of paper and inks. PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12607

Laurel, NE - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 653 The First NB Ch. # (W)9793
This is one of only nine large in the census and it is also the only note we have ever been able to offer on this charter number. In fact, auction appearances in total are infrequent with just three previous opportunities in the last two decades. PMG Very Good 10.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12608

Lyons, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 6221
Serial number 7 adorns this new note for the census. It is the nicest note known on this charter number. This auction also has low serial numbers 8, 9, and 10 on this Burt County bank. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12609

Lyons, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 6221
As with all the notes in this Type 2 mini-run on this bank, this serial number 8 note has dark inks and bright paper. PMG Extremely Fine 40.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12610

Lyons, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 6221
Serial number 9 graces this PMG Extremely Fine 40 EPQ $10.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12611

Lyons, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 6221
We had never before offered a note on this charter number before this auction. Serial number 10 is found on this attractive PMG Choice Very Fine $10.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12612

Nebraska City, NE - $50 1902 Plain Back Fr. 683 The Merchants NB Ch. # 2536
An extremely scarce large note which is only the third $50 Plain Back reported from this institution, which issued high denomination examples only after the First Charter period. Pen signed PMG Very Fine 25.

12613

Nebraska City, NE - $50 1929 Ty. 1 The Merchants NB Ch. # 2536
A pleasing note from a bank which only issued Type 1 $50 notes in small size. PCGS Very Fine 20.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12614

Neligh, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The NB of Neligh Ch. # 13568
One of only three Type 2 notes known from here and the first to appear at auction according to Track & Price. Graded Apparent Very Fine 30 by PCGS for a minor paper clip rust stain visible on the back.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12615

Oakdale, NE - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 13339
This bank issued just $45,570 as its total circulation. Tonight's example is a pleasing PCGS Very Fine 25 from the only issuer in this Antelope County community.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12616

Pender, NE - $100 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 4791
In April 2006, we offered this note for the first time where it was described, "This bank went into receivership on July 25, 1935, just after the last National Bank Notes were issued. This Very Fine+++ $100 is an attractive high denomination example from a bank where the census shows just four such pieces extant, and, with a miniscule 26 sheets issued, we don't expect to see many more come to light." Now it resides in a PCGS Very Fine 30 holder and the census has moved but one.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12617

Scribner, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 6901
A very scarce NE Nebraska bank, with this note fetching $4600 when it was last sold in December of 2008. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12618

Superior, NE - $20 1929 Ty. 2 Security NB Ch. # 14083
September 2008 marks the last time a note from here was available at auction. Then a similarly graded note realized $805. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12619

Tecumseh, NE - $10 1882 Date Back Fr. 539 The Tecumseh NB Ch. # (W)4276
A great find with this becoming just the third note to be reported on this rare bank that liquidated in August 1915. It is also the nicest of the three with excellent color for the grade and four wide margins. A note fit for the finest collection of Nebraska nationals. PMG Very Fine 25 with dark signatures of the cashier and vice president.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12620

Tilden, NE - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The Tilden NB Ch. # 10011
Just three Type 2 notes comprise the census from here. This example, the finest we have offered from here, just misses the new grade. PCGS Choice About New 55.

12621

Valentine, NE - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 590 The First NB Ch. # (W)6378
Nearly five years have passed since a large size note has been offered from this popularly titled locale. The last large size note to be offered was a Fine that realized more than $1000 in 2005. The paper is solid for the grade with one full signature remaining. PMG Very Good 10.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12622

Weeping Water, NE - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 3523

Wynot, NE - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 626 The First NB Ch. # (W)8335
This is one of only five examples recorded on this Cedar County bank that went into receivership during December 1927. This is the first example that we have been able to offer. PMG Very Good 8.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12624

Newport, NH - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 480 The First NB Ch. # 888
This is a lovely $10 Brown Back with excellent inks, original paper surfaces, and bold penned signatures. The holder has an incorrect serial number listed. It should be 2376. This note last appeared as lot 16802 in September of 2006. PCGS About New 53.

12625

Barnegat, NJ - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 626 The First NB Ch. # 8497
Our records indicate that two of the five known large size notes from this bank have previously been offered at public auction. The last was a serial number one Red Seal that sold for more than $41,000 a couple of years ago and the other, a $10 Plain Back in Fine that realized more than $4,000 over five years ago. This piece is a bright and very attractive PMG Very Fine 25, with full stamped signatures and a deep blue overprint. With few large size options available for collectors, we would not be surprised to see the last Blue Seal realization surpassed here this evening.

12626

Merchantville, NJ - $5 1929 Ty. 1 Merchantville NB & TC Ch. # 8323
An attractive note bearing the last of the three titles used by this scarce bank. PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ, with low serial number C000006A as a bonus.

12627

Carlsbad, NM - $20 1929 Ty. 1 Carlsbad NB Ch. # 12569
Small notes only from this none too common bank, which unaccountably elected to issue $20 examples only. We sold the last note from this bank to appear at public sale over three years ago, with that specimen, a virtual duplicate to this piece, realizing $2415. Pleasing PMG Very Fine 20, with plenty of eye appeal for the grade.

12628

Las Vegas, NM - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 658 The First NB Ch. # (W)2436
An evenly circulated example from the "real" Las Vegas, and the only community bearing this name which was home to a National Bank. This Las Vegas was settled a century earlier than the Nevada version, and, after the railroad arrived in 1879, quickly established a reputation for gambling, corruption and violence that the imposter Las Vegas never came close to rivaling even in its mob heyday of the 1950's. PMG Very Fine 20, a bit nicer than the Plain Back from this bank which we sold in January of 2007 for $2990.

12629

Melrose, NM - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 628 The First NB Ch. # (W)8397
A very scarce note which is one of only eight such examples reported from this institution, the sole issuer in Melrose. PMG Choice Fine 15 Net, with a small repair to the right margin that is barely noticeable.

12630

Silver City, NM - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The American NB Ch. # 8132
Large size notes appear at auction from this bank on a far more regular basis than small size examples. This piece is a very attractive PMG Very Fine 30, making it one of the nicer small size notes known. The paper is bright and wholesome and the printed devices are vibrant.

12631

Canajoharie, NY - $20 1929 Ty. 2 National Spraker Bank Ch. # 13876
Serial number 1500 and full margins are seen on this beautiful Gem. It has been nearly three years since a note has been offered from this tiny institution. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

12632

Cohoes, NY - $20 1902 Date Back Fr. 642 The NB of Cohoes Ch. # (E)1347
A fresh and attractive Date Back which is a bit nicer than the example we sold from this Albany County bank in our Memphis sale which realized $1035. PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ, with bold colors, sharp signatures, and loads of eye appeal.

12633

Croghan, NY - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The Croghan NB Ch. # (E)10948
This is one of only two large examples known from this Lewis County institution, and considerably the nicer of the pair. With the other specimen off the market and in very strong hands since its last appearance in 1996, it may be years or even decades before another opportunity arises for collectors to add a large example from this one bank community to their holdings...and with a miniscule $330 outstanding, we wouldn't be holding our breath waiting for other examples to appear. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ, a pen signed beauty with only minimal evidence of circulation.

12634

Cuba, NY - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The First NB Ch. # (E)2451
Perfectly penned signatures of Thompson and Morgan are seen on this colorful Cuba Brown Back. This pleasing piece was last offered at public auction in May of 1996 in Currency Auction of America's Rosemont Auction. PCGS Very Fine 30.

12635

Cuba, NY - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 607 The First NB Ch. # (E)2451
Family members H.P. and H.C. Morgan managed this bank from this sought after Allegany County location. PMG Very Fine 20.

12636

Cuba, NY - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 2451
The census reveals that only one other note from this bank has been recorded as uncirculated. That piece, serial number 1590, is listed as Choice. With the size of the margins on this piece we can conjecture that this note is likely the finer of the two and is easily the finest known. Its margins are hefty and almost perfectly even on all sides. The embossing is pronounced and the colors are ideal. This note is a real trophy for collectors of misplaced names. PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ.

12637

Edmeston, NY - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 469 The First NB Ch. # 3681
From our 2009 FUN auction where it was cataloged, "A truly rare note from an Otsego County bank with just three large and four small notes reported in the census. This piece has been off the market for three decades, and is new to that listing. It is the first large example to come on the market since we sold one of the other two Brown Backs known from here over fifteen years ago in 1994. Sharp Very Fine, with great signatures, color and eye appeal, a lovely $5 Brown Back fit for the finest of collections." Today it is housed in a PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ holder.

12638

Beautiful Trio of New York City Brown Backs
$5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 467 The NB of Commerce Ch. # 733
$10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 480 The NB of Commerce Ch. # 733
$20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 494 The NB of Commerce Ch. # 733
This trio includes three notes with full Gem attributes. The embossing on each note is unmistakable. Each note is also fully margined with bold colors and great front to back centering. In the third party holders, there is little to reveal why each of the notes are not graded any higher than PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.

12639

New York, NY - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 494 The NB of Commerce Ch. # 733
A nice example for the type displaying a stamped signature of J. Pierpont Morgan as president. PMG About Uncirculated 55.

12640

New York, NY - $5 1875 Fr. 403 The Chase NB Ch. # 2370
From a small run of First Charter $5's from this bank preserved by a far-sighted and unknown individual generations ago. These have provided many a type collector with a high grade specimen. This piece is one of the nicest of its type we have handled, with full paper originality, bold colors, and a vibrant overall appearance. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ.

12641

New York, NY - $5 1882 Date Back Fr. 537 The Garfield NB Ch. # (E)2598
From our auction of the Daniel Weissman Collection where it was cataloged, "This bank was chartered in 1881, the same year President Garfield was assassinated. This denomination also carries the portrait of the slain president. The president for this bank was the inaptly named H.F. Poor. Graded Extremely Fine 40 by PCGS." It has been over three years with no additional auction appearances by this charter number. Also, this note is as nice as any $5 1882 Date Back on the Garfield NB that is recorded in the census.

12642

New York, NY - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The Harriman NB Ch. # (E)9955 Uncut Sheet
This is one of two uncut sheets extant from this New York City bank. It has been off the market since it last appeared in our September, 1999 CAA sale. There are folds between each note, but the overall appearance is exceptional, with the sheet displaying pen signatures, bright inks, and full top and bottom selvage. PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ, mislabeled as a Fr. 601 sheet, which PMG will gladly correct upon request.

12643

New York, NY - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 611 The Dunbar NB Ch. # 13237
A nice example from this late charter institution, which was founded by the Rockefeller family to facilitate commerce in New York's black community. The bank was located in Harlem, which in the 1920's was a thriving area in the midst of the so-called "Harlem Renaissance," a flowering of black literature, art and business development. Carrying a single digit serial number 3 and bearing a scarcer Friedberg number, this PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ note should prove quite popular this evening.

12644

Nyack, NY - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The Nyack NB Ch. # 2378
A scarce 1902 Plain Back on this Rockland County bank with printed signatures of Robert Walmsley and A.M. Voorhis. PMG Very Fine 25 with paper originality. In late 2008, a Fine sold at auction for $1,380.

12645

Owego, NY - $1 Original Fr. 380 The First NB Ch. # 1019
This new to the census note is the only Original Series example of any denomination reported to date from this Tioga County bank. PMG Very Fine 25, with a nick out of the top margin mentioned on the holder.

12646

Palmyra, NY - $5 Original Fr. 394 The First NB Ch. # 295
A pleasing Original Series example with the charter number added. Evenly circulated and bright PMG Very Fine 20.

12647

Palmyra, NY - $20 Original Fr. 424 The First NB Ch. # 295
Bright and well printed, with a few minor flaws accounting for the PMG Very Good 10 grade.

12648

Poland, NY - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 653 The Citizens NB Ch. # (E)9804
A beautifully pen signed example from this tough Herkimer County bank. Bright white paper, a bold blue overprint, and great eye appeal combine to produce a note certain to please. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ.

12649

Port Jefferson, NY - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The First NB Ch. # 5068
A fresh and fully original example with great color and eye appeal from an always sought after Suffolk County location. PMG Extremely Fine 40 EPQ.

12650

Richfield Springs, NY - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The First NB Ch. # (E)2651
The only $10 Brown Back reported from this scarce Otsego County bank, and a piece that has been off the market for so long that its grade is unlisted in the census. PCGS Fine 15.

12651

Ripley, NY - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 613 The First NB Ch. # (E)6386
A gorgeous Red Seal with every positive attribute that a collector could desire, including bright white paper, a blazing red overprint, bold pen signatures, and a minimum of circulation. PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ, a premium piece fit for the finest of collections.

12652

Sherburne, NY - $10 1875 Fr. 416 The Sherburne NB Ch. # 1166
This Chenango County bank issued only $10 examples in Series 1875 notes, with this example one of only two listed in the census. It has been off the market for three decades, fortunately having retained its bright colors and sharp signatures. PCGS Fine 15.

12653

Ticonderoga, NY - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 619 The Ticonderoga NB Ch. # (E)9900
A very welcome addition to the census that had stood at just three large since at least 1997. PMG Very Good 10 with large printed signatures.

12654

Troy, NY - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The United NB Ch. # (E)940
The original paper surfaces are reflected in the third party grade of this darkly inked $5. PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ.

12655

Weedsport, NY - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The First NB Ch. # 11020
This note last appeared at auction nearly a decade ago in our September 2001 Cincinnati Signature Auction. Its full penned signatures and bright paper make it an appealing piece and one of the nicest of just a half dozen large size notes known from this small bank. PCGS Very Fine 25.

12656

Benson, NC - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The First NB Ch. # 12614
As the only bank to operate in this Johnston County town it issued $5 Plain Backs only between 1924 and 1928. This example is an evenly circulated piece with a strong overprint and solid margins. The last note from this bank that we offered was a Very Good that realized $2,760 in our January 2008 FUN Signature Auction. PMG Choice Fine 15.

12657

Cherryville, NC - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 618 The First NB Ch. # (S)9548
The census raises to a meager two 1902 Date Backs on this Gaston County bank with the reporting of this PCGS Apparent Fine 12, stained, split at right example.

12658

Gastonia, NC - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 590 The Citizens NB Ch. # (S)7536
This is the only $5 1902 Date Back in the census and overall there are just three Date Backs recorded on this charter number. PCGS Apparent Fine 12, edge splits.

12659

Monroe, NC - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 626 The First NB Ch. # (S)8712
A scarce bank with only two offerings at public sale during the past decade, one coming when a Fine Red Seal sold for $46,000 in 2007 and the other occurring the next year when we sold a very well circulated Good-Very Good specimen for over $2500. Pleasing PMG Very Fine 25.

12660

Oxford, NC - $10 1882 Value Back Fr. 577 The First NB Ch. # (S)5885
A high grade North Carolina Value Back with excellent eye appeal. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ, with bold purple signatures. One of the nicest examples if not the nicest for this issue on the state.

12661

Raleigh, NC - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 592 The Commercial NB Ch. # (S)9067
This note has a different cashier than what is found on the other notes of this charter number in this auction. PCGS Very Fine 30.

12662

Raleigh, NC - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 618 The Commercial NB Ch. # (S)9067
A high grade example from the state capital. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 with clear signatures.

12663

Raleigh, NC - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 618 The Commercial NB Ch. # (S)9067
A nice note exhibiting embossing, dark inks, and rubber stamped black signatures. The apparent grade is due to stains on face, which are light. PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 45.

12664

Raleigh, NC - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 618 The Commercial NB Ch. # (S)9067
This $10 is bright for the grade with nice signatures. PCGS Fine 12PPQ.

12665

Salisbury, NC - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 600 The Peoples NB Ch. # (S)9076
Light, stamped signatures are still visible on this wholesome $5 that was a bit miscut. This is only the third note from this bank to appear at public auction in the last five years and is easily the finest of the three. PMG Very Fine 25.

12666

Thomasville, NC - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 600 The First NB Ch. # 8788
This is just the fifth time dating back to 1990 that we have offered this charter number. PCGS Fine 15.

12667

Washington, NC - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 4997
This is a new note for the census, but you would be very hard-pressed to find the few Series 1929 notes documented on this Beaufort County bank with a higher grade. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ.

12668

Devil's Lake, ND - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 633 The Ramsey County NB Ch. # 5886
Over five years have passed since we last offered a note from this scarce Ramsey County institution that was the only issuer of the 1902 series located here. The large population still stands at a mere five large just as it did then. This PCGS Apparent Fine 15 displays a small edge tear along the bottom margin and ink stains. Our description proved prophetic given the length of time between offerings.
From The Cornhusker Collection

12669

New Rockford, ND - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The First NB Ch. # 6393
A very scarce note from the only bank to issue in this tiny Eddy County locale. Although a literal handful of large examples from this one bank town are known, all have been closely held for many years, with this the first offering of any large note from New Rockford in at least two decades. Pen signed PMG Choice Fine 15, an evenly circulated and problem free specimen.

12670

Belmont, OH - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 485 The First NB Ch. # 4864
The first note reported from this short lived institution which issued Brown Backs only before disappearing in 1902, with even the massive Yoder and Kelly collections both lacking any example from this bank. Nice pen signed PMG Very Fine 25, about as rare as any Ohio note we've ever had the privilege of handling.

12671

Belmont, OH - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The Belmont NB Ch. # (M)6391
A nice companion piece to the unique Belmont note offered above. PMG Very Fine 25.

12672

Canal Dover, OH - $100 1882 Brown Back Fr. 524 The First NB Ch. # (M)4331
A truly rare high denomination example bearing the town name that, although never officially adopted by the community, was used by the Post Office to distinguish this community from other locations in Ohio which also adopted the name Dover. Canal Dover AKA Dover was a small town junction on the Tuscarawas River but its fortunes changed dramatically in 1825 when the Tuscarawas was incorporated into the Ohio Canal system, a canal complex that linked the Ohio River to the Great Lakes and the Erie Canal. Dover became the only tolling station on the Tuscarawas, and the population grew rapidly from 46 in 1820 to almost 600 in 1840, nearly 1700 in 1870 and over 5,000 in 1900. This is one of only five notes extant bearing the Canal Dover nomenclature, which was used from 1890 until 1916, and one of only two $100 Brown Backs. It's a new piece to the census, and considerably nicer than the $100 Brown Back from this bank we sold as part of the Don Kelly collection, which realized just over $4000. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25, a very pretty example given the "Apparent" designation because of a minor repaired edge split at the top that can not be seen even when the note is candled.
From The Old Line Collection

12673

Cincinnati, OH - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 615 The American NB Ch. # (M)8438
An excessively rare note from a bank which issued Red Seals only during its brief tenure, which lasted barely two years between November of 1906 and November of 1908. Only one note was previously reported, with this bank missing from both the Yoder and Kelly collections. Expect this new to the census example to see some determined bidding from the Cincinnati collecting community. PMG Fine 12.

12674

Cleveland, OH - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 613 The National Commercial Bank Ch. # (M)7487
A bright average circulated example displaying deep signatures. Graded PMG Very Fine 25 it would make a fine representative for the type.

12675

Fremont, OH - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The First NB Ch. # 5
An attractively pen signed example from this sought after low charter bank. PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ, and sporting neat double serial number 12000 as a bonus.

12676

Ironton, OH - $5 1875 Fr. 401 The Second NB Ch. # 242
Eight years have passed since an Original Series or 1875 note has been offered at public auction from this bank. That last piece was a very well worn 1875 ace that we graded Good. This piece has all the body of a VF and remaining stamped signatures. The overprint is still bold with an uninterrupted back design. PMG Very Fine 20.

12677

Massillon, OH - $50 1902 Date Back Fr. 670 The Merchants NB Ch. # (M)4286
A tear repair is mentioned by PMG on this average note for type. PMG Choice Fine 15 Net.

12678

Newton Falls, OH - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The First NB Ch. # (M)7391
Track & Price indicates only four other notes are known from this one bank town that only issued large size notes. Also revealed by Track & Price is that there have been no major public auction appearances. This piece is evenly circulated with a solid overprint for the grade and partially remaining signatures. PMG Very Good 8.

12679

Washington, OH - $2 Original Fr. 387 The First NB Ch. # 284
From our auction of the Don C. Kelly Collection of Ohio Nationals where it was cataloged, "First Charter Originals only from this short lived bank, which went out in 1878, with this Deuce one of four pieces known. PCGS has graded this Apparent Fine 12, noting "Edge and Internal Splits." In January of 2010 it realized $2185, expect a realization tonight along the lines of...

12680

Allen, OK - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The First NB Ch. # (W)9620
National Bank notes featuring proper names are highly sought after by collectors from all states along with people outside of the ranks of currency collecting. For those unfortunate enough to be named Allen, you have few options. The First National Bank of Allen, Nebraska still has no notes known, and there are only seven notes known from this one bank town with the discovery of this piece. The paper exhibited here is simply lovely. It is well embossed, bright and the signatures, one signed and one stamped, remain solid. PCGS Very Fine 30.

12681

Anadarko, OK - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 607 The First NB Ch. # (W)5905
This newly discovered piece raised the number of known large size notes from this Caddo County bank to just five examples. Although the bank was chartered in 1901 and issued Oklahoma Territory issues, only state notes are known. In 1935, only $620 in large size notes remained out. The stamped signatures remain, and the third printing is sufficiently dark. In 2007, a VF 1902 Plain Back realized $3,565. PMG Fine 12.

12682

Braggs, OK - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 630 The First NB Ch. # 10437
A fair number of notes have survived from this one bank (and one stoplight) Muskogee County community, home to about 300 people. This is one of the nicest. PCGS Extremely Fine 40, with bright purple signatures.
From The Lone Star Collection

12683

Braman, OK - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 10003
This was the sole bank chartered in this speck of a town, which is located in Kay County in the northernmost reaches of the state. With large notes unreported from this bank, collectors who want any example from this community are restricted to the six Series 1929 examples which comprise the entire census from here. This note is included in that count. PCGS Very Fine 20.
From The Lone Star Collection

12684

Broken Arrow, OK - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 7115
A quick glance at the census indicates no small size notes from this bank exist in grades above VF. This note is a fully margined piece with a bright overprint. According to Track & Price, the only other auction appearance of a small size note from this bank resulted in a realization of $3,220. That piece was also a VF and we expect a similar realization again here this evening. PCGS Very Fine 20.

12685

Chandler, OK - $20 1882 Value Back Fr. 583 The First NB Ch. # (W)5354
One of two Value Back $20 notes known from this bank, and the nicer of the pair at that. PCGS Apparent Fine 15, with mounting remnants on both the face and back.
From The Lone Star Collection

12686

Claremore, OK - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 654 The NB of Claremore Ch. # 10117
A decent large example from the second of this community's two issuing banks. PMG Very Fine 25 Net, with mention of "repairs." The only "repairs" we could discern even when candling the note were a couple of filled pinholes in the left margin that affect absolutely nothing.
From The Lone Star Collection

12687

Commerce, OK - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 631 The First NB Ch. # 10689
A bit nicer than the example we sold from this bank in our Central States auction which fetched $1495. PMG Choice Fine 15.
From The Lone Star Collection

12688

Cordell, OK - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The Farmers NB Ch. # (W)9968
Cordell was large enough to support five different National Banks. The Farmers National Bank was the only bank to make it to the end of the note issuing period in 1935 and two of the banks remain unreported. According to Treasury records, only $2000 remains outstanding for large size notes from the Farmers National, and this piece is likely the finest of the known survivors. The paper is bright with full embossing of the charter numbers and seal. The stamped signatures of the cashier and president are still visible. PMG Very Fine 30.

12689

Depew, OK - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The State NB Ch. # 12104
A tough note from a bank which issued Series 1929 notes only. This piece is the only Type 2 $10 in the census, and is likely the finest specimen of any denomination known from here as well. PMG Very Fine 25.
From The Lone Star Collection

12690

Durant, OK - $10 1882 Date Back Fr. 546 The Durant NB Ch. # (W)5590
A bright and well centered example from this tougher Bryan County institution. PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ.

12691

El Reno, OK - $50 1882 Date Back Fr. 564 The First NB Ch. # (W)4830
A very scarce type and denomination from the Sooner State, with this example one of only seven reported from Oklahoma and the only one extant from El Reno. Evenly circulated PMG Choice Fine 15.
From The Lone Star Collection

12692

Enid, OT - $5 1902 Red Seal Fr. 588 The Enid NB Ch. # (W)8231
This short lived bank issued Red Seal Territorial examples only during its brief two year tenure before closing its doors forever in August of 1908. Just two examples are known, with one piece never having been offered to the collecting public and the other not having been available since its only public offering on a 1993 fixed price list. PMG Choice Fine 15, an excessively rare Territorial note which offers one fortunate collector the chance to obtain a new bank for their holdings.
From The Lone Star Collection

12693

Fairfax, OK - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 652 The Fairfax NB Ch. # 8202
A very scarce bank which issued large notes only. Track & Price shows only one offering during the past ten years, with that coming back in 2003. PMG Fine 12 Net, with the notation "tape repair," a tiny bit of which is visible at the top margin.
From The Lone Star Collection

12694

Frederick, OK - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 654 The NB of Commerce Ch. # 10095
Large notes only from this bank, with just six examples known, including this piece. PCGS Very Good 8, well circulated but fully intact.
From The Lone Star Collection

12695

Grove, OK - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 602 The First NB Ch. # (W)10119
A rare note from this small one bank town, the only community to issue in rural Delaware County. The Track & Price census shows just four examples extant from here, with offerings, as one might imagine, few and far between. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25 due to various surface anomalies.

12696

Guymon, OK - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 618 The First NB Ch. # (W)8138
A scarce note from the Oklahoma panhandle. This is the sole Date Back reported from this bank, and, despite a repaired corner, is a most pleasing piece with vivid colors and clear pen signatures. PMG Very Fine 25 Net.
From The Lone Star Collection

12697

Hennessey, OK - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The Farmers & Merchants NB Ch. # 10209
The first note from the first sheet of Series 1929 notes sent to this bank, and in well nigh perfect condition as well. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ, a real blazer of a serial number 1 note which displays every attribute a collector could ask for.
From The Lone Star Collection

12698

Hominy, OK - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 626 The First NB Ch. # (W)7927
While the census indicates large notes should be rather easily available, reality as defined by our friends at Track & Price indicates only one such offering in the past ten years, with that occurring in 2005. Pen signed PMG Fine 12.
From The Lone Star Collection

12699

Idabel, OK - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Idabel NB Ch. # 11913
A difficult to obtain note from a small SE Oklahoma bank which issued small notes only. PMG Very Fine 25.
From The Lone Star Collection

12700

Lone Wolf, OK - $20 1929 Ty. 2 The First NB Ch. # 10096
A lovely Series 1929 example bearing single digit serial number A000003 as a bonus. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.

12701

Madill, IT - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 504 The First NB Ch. # (W)5404
The only Territorial known from this very scarce bank, and a piece which has been off the market since it was acquired by our consignor in 1991. PMG Fine 12.
From The Lone Star Collection

12702

Muskogee, OK - $100 1902 Plain Back Fr. 701 The First NB Ch. # 4385
An evenly circulated example which is one of five Plain Back hundreds reported from this institution. PMG Very Fine 20.
From The Lone Star Collection

12703

Oklahoma City, OK - $50 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB & TC Ch. # 4862
A beautifully centered and vividly colored example which is perfect for any high end type or state set. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ, with the comments "Exceptional Paper Quality, Great Embossing" on the back of the holder. Interestingly, PMG has only graded four Type 1 fifties as high as 66, with not a single example graded higher.
From The Lone Star Collection

12704

Pauls Valley, OK - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 658 The First NB Ch. # (W)5091
The census reveals that this is the highest graded large size note for this Garvin County bank. PMG Very Fine 30.

Porter, OK - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 652 The First NB Ch. # (W)7615
A fresh new discovery, this is just the second large size Porter to be reported from this bank. Though the Porter National Bank also issued notes in this small town, survivors are still unknown. Despite being one of two known large size survivors, the other note has never been offered at auction to the best of our knowledge. Full penned signatures are present and the note has an appearance of a Fine or better piece. PCGS Very Good 10.

Roff, IT - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The First NB Ch. # (W)5417
A newly discovered Territorial Brown Back which is not only the only Territorial example known from this small bank but the finest of any of the now five examples reported from this institution. Expect this evenly circulated and problem free specimen displaying bright colors and strong pen signatures to easily reach and perhaps well exceed our likely conservative estimate. PMG Very Fine 25.

12707

Sayre, OK - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The First NB Ch. # 9959
Almost five years have passed since a large size note from this bank has been offered in a grade this nice. The census indicates this and one other Very Fine that we sold in our 2005 FUN Signature Auction are the finest known of the few large size survivors from this bank. That piece realized $1,380, and in a market that is just as hot for Oklahoma notes as it was then, we expect a similar realization again this evening, if not higher. PCGS Very Fine 20.

12715

Yukon, OK - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 628 The Yukon NB Ch. # 10196

Canby, OR - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 631 The First NB Ch. # 10619
This is a very scarce bank in large size with a census of only six and that includes this note. We have sold two large notes in the past on this Clackamas County bank. In September 2003, we sold a $10 1902 PB in Fine for $3507 and in January 2004, we sold a $20 1902 PB in Fine-VF for $3737. PMG Apparent Fine 12 stained, tear in lower right corner.

The Dalles, OR - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 651 The First NB Ch. # (P)3441

12718

Vale, OR - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 652 The United States NB Ch. # (P)9496
This is one of the truly rare "Forbidden Title" notes, with a census population of just four examples, not surprising from a bank which was in business for only twelve years before giving up the ghost in 1921. This piece is new to that total, and offered here to collectors for the very first time. Evenly circulated PCGS Fine 12, likely to see bidding reach well into the range of...

12720

Delta, PA - $5 1929 Ty. 2 The Delta NB Ch. # 14201
This is a rare late-chartered York County bank. This newly reported note becomes just the fifth to be documented. Even rarer are auction appearances as we can now document only four occasions dating back to the early 1990's. The latest opportunity was in November 2004 when another Fine 15 $5 brought $4255. PCGS Fine 15.

McKeesport, PA - $5 1929 Ty. 2 The NB of McKeesport Ch. # 4625
Back in 2005, as a raw note this serial number one example which is the first note from the sheet realized $1840. Five years later this superior example now resides in a PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ holder. Incorrectly labeled on the holder as a Type 1 this will be happily corrected by PMG.

Pittsburgh, PA - $20 1882 Date Back Fr. 552 The Duquesne NB Ch. # (E)2278
Particular attention of the viewer is paid to the broadness of both the top and bottom margins of this $20.

PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.

Pleasant Unity, PA - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 616 The Pleasant Unity NB Ch. # (E)6581
A wholesome note for the grade. This newly reported note brings the total number of large size notes from this one bank town to a total of a half dozen.

Track & Price shows just four other auction appearances from this Chesterfield County bank. It operated from 1909 until it was closed by the receiver in 1928. Some professionally executed repairs are mentioned by the grading service and resulted in a Net grade. PMG Very Good 10 Net.

12732

Conway, SC - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 631 The Conway NB Ch. # (S)10536
This discovery piece brings the total number of known notes from this tiny bank to a mere seven. The paper internally is wholesome, though the grading service has noted there are some repaired edge tears. PCGS Apparent Very Good 10.

Austin, TX - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 601 The American NB Ch. # (S)4322

A rare note from the only bank to issue in this then rural central Texas county seat location. A mere five large examples are known, with one ensconced in the Philpott/Moody holdings. This ex-Irish and Ivy collection example was the last to be offered, with our consignor having obtained this piece nearly seven years ago. PMG Fine 12.

A just plain rare note which is one of only four examples known bearing the second title used here.

Dublin, TX - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 659 The Citizens NB Ch. # 5836
In September 2007 we sold a similar grade $10 1902 from this bank for $977. This piece faces up well with faint blue signatures and a still bold blue overprint. The grading service indicates an internal repair, which hardly affects the eye appeal of the note. PMG Choice Fine 15 Net.

12754

El Paso, TX - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The Lowdon NB Ch. # (S)5239
This is one of two examples extant from this El Paso Brown Back only bank which was in business for only four years before closing its doors in early 1905. With the other having been off the market since its last appearance a decade ago, this piece offers what might be the last opportunity for many years to obtain a note from this extremely rare institution. PCGS Apparent Fine 12, with an edge tear at the bottom left and a replaced top right corner tip, but quite a decent looking piece despite these minor defects.

Fort Worth, TX - $100 1902 Plain Back Fr. 704 The First NB Ch. # (S)2349
This note is as nice as any 1902 $100 documented on this bank. It was acquired by our consignor at the sale of the impressive Everson Collection in 1997. Attractive purple rubber stamped signatures are of Cashier W.P. Andrews and Vice President T.B. Yarbrough. PMG Very Fine 20.

12758

Giddings, TX - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 4410
An extremely rare note from the sole bank to issue in this small Bastrop County community, a charter which has not been available at public sale since this piece was obtained by our consignor in 2003. PMG Very Good 10 Net, with the notation "soiled," which is incorrect, as the note is simply discolored to an even tea color, without a trace of "soil."
From The Lone Star Collection

12759

Goldthwaite, TX - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The Goldthwaite NB Ch. # 6092
This is the "A" position $10 note from a cut sheet of serial number 1 Goldthwaite Brown Backs formerly part of the William A. Philpott, Jr. collection of Texas Nationals. Although most of the Philpott holdings were sold intact and now rest in the vaults of the Moody Foundation, Mr. Phil's serial number 1 notes were sold separately some years previously, making them available to this generation of collectors. This bright pen signed example has a couple of minor problems, including a tiny repair along with some mounting residue, but the appearance is of a far nicer note than the PMG assigned grade of Very Fine 30 Net would indicate.

Hallettsville, TX - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 498 The Lavaca County NB Ch. # (S)4338
One of only two notes known bearing this title, which was used on Brown Backs and Second Charter Date Backs before it was changed in 1910. This is the sole Brown Back recorded, with notes bearing this nomenclature missing from even collections as major as Philpott, Irish and Ivy. This piece traces its pedigree back to the Everson collection sale of 1997. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20, with some minor restorations on the left side and a small edge split at the bottom center.

Houston, TX - $5 1902 Red Seal Fr. 589 The Lumbermans NB Ch. # (S)8645
An exceptionally bright note with a fire engine red overprint, bold black signatures, and fresh white paper. It's one of only four Red Seals known from this Houston bank, and by far the nicest of the group. PMG Very Fine 25 Net, with a small corner repair mentioned on the holder.

A lovely serial number 1 Brown Back which was obtained by our consignor at the sale of the J.L. Irish collection in August, 1997, where it was graded Choice Crisp Uncirculated. It is now in a PMG Uncirculated 60 Net holder, with mention of a restoration. We've examined this note pretty darn carefully, and, if a restoration is present, it's good enough to escape unnoticed through the holder.

Itasca, TX - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The Itasca NB Ch. # 5749
The "A" position note from a cut sheet of serial number 1 Itasca Brown Backs which has long been dispersed. PCGS notes some minor mounting residue, but save for that tiny flaw, this piece is lovely, with great color, signatures, and eye appeal. Apparent Choice About New 58.

May, TX - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 8327
An extremely scarce Series 1929 note from a bank which has not been available in small size since 2005. PMG Very Fine 25 Net, with mention made of "paper clip rust." Close examination of the "rust" shows one miniscule fleck on the front and a few minor flecks on the back, all barely worthy of mention let alone a "Net" grade.

Mexia, TX - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 477 The Citizens NB Ch. # 5697
This new discovery increases the census to just a total of two notes on this rare charter number, both of which are $5 Brown Backs. The other example grades Fine-VF and it has not been available since it went under the gavel for $5500 at the sale of the massive Irish Collection in August 1997. This was a whopping sum even for this famed auction, as just about any Texas National that brought over $2000 that night was greeted with a round of applause from the packed room. It has now taken thirteen years for another note to emerge from the shadows. This is not surprising as this Limestone County bank was only in operation from January 29, 1901 to April 6, 1903 and left a paltry $545 outstanding as of 1910. PCGS Apparent Very Good 8. The apparent grade is due to a deftly repaired edge tear at top right.

12768

Midland, TX - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 650 The Midland NB Ch. # (S)6410
An attractive west Texas example which appears far nicer than its PMG assigned grade of Choice Fine 15 Net. Mention is made of an internal repair, which is nothing but a tiny closed split.

Pearsall, TX - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The Pearsall NB Ch. # 6989
A tougher Frio County bank which has not been offered in large size since our consignor obtained this example in our January, 2004 FUN auction. PMG Very Fine 20. The holder makes mention of a tear, which might have escaped since the note was encapsulated, as we can not see it through the holder.

Pearsall, TX - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Pearsall NB Ch. # 13572
The margins are a bit nicer than those present on the A000001A serial number one example that was sold as part of The Lone Star Collection back in Sept. of 2009. This crackling fresh, fully embossed beauty has been bestowed the grade of Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ by PMG.

Rockwall, TX - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 625 The Farmers NB Ch. # 8204
Just six large size notes are listed from this elusive bank located in a prosperous Dallas area community. An extremely rare note from a bank which was not represented in either the Everson or Irish collections. PMG Very Good 8.

San Antonio, TX - $50 1882 Brown Back Fr. 512 The Alamo NB Ch. # (S)4525
A wonderful note for both type and state, as this is one of just twenty-one $50 Texas Brown Backs reported to date. That figure, as most census figures from this state are wont to do, overstates the number available to collectors by a considerable degree, as six of the twenty-one pieces are off the market in the hands of the Moody Foundation trustees, the custodians of the famed Philpott collection. It is a beautiful note which traces its pedigree to the Irish collection sale, where our consignor obtained it in 1997, and it is one of the very highest grade $50 Texas Brown Backs remaining in private hands. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ, a wonderful note bearing one of the most evocative titles used by any Texas bank.

Seymour, TX - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 4263

From The Lone Star Collection

12776

Taylor, TX - $100 1902 Date Back Fr. 689 The First NB Ch. # (S)3027
This Williamson County bank had a real affinity for the $50 and $100 denominations. This is the nicest of those high denominations from the Series 1902 era to cross the auction block in the last two decades. The apparent grade is due to edges trimmed, missing lower left corner tip. We have noticed over the years that all large size notes on this bank have "trimmed edges," certainly because at least one bank employee insisted on the New England trim look in the heart of Texas. PMG Apparent Very Fine 25.

12777

Terrell, TX - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The American NB Ch. # (S)4990
An evenly circulated and nicely centered Texas Brown Back, one of three such examples known from this bank, with two bearing this title. PMG notes a tear, but if it exists it certainly can not be seen through the holder. Very Fine 20.
From The Lone Star Collection

12778

Trinity, TX - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 654 The Trinity NB Ch. # (S)10078
A truly rare large size example from a bank which issued only pocket change and had but $420 outstanding by 1935. This piece is one of three large notes extant. PMG Very Good 10, with a mention of pinholes, which are certainly present, although mostly in the wide side margins.

12786

Barre, VT - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 613 The Peoples NB Ch. # (N)7068
About two dozen Red Seals are known from the entire state of Vermont. No more than about three pieces are known from any one bank, meaning no hoards are known to fill demand for type sets. The signatures exhibited here are bold as is the overprint. PMG Very Fine 20.

12787

Bellows Falls, VT - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 482 The NB of Bellows Falls Ch. # 1653
Beautifully ornate signatures adorn this colorful and attractive $10 Brown Back. Our records indicate this piece was last seen at public auction in 1987. The last note of this type from this bank approaching this grade was a $5 we sold back in 2005 for over $2000. PMG Very Fine 25.

12788

Bellows Falls, VT - $5 1902 Red Seal Fr. 587 The NB of Bellows Falls Ch. # (N)1653

12790

Bellows Falls, VT - $5 1929 Ty. 2 The Windham NB Ch. # 13894
Census records indicate only nine serial number one Type II notes are known from Vermont. This piece is bright and attractive despite PMG indicating adhesive on the back. Only five notes are known from this Windham County bank that was chartered in December of 1933 and issued $5 Type II notes only. Our records indicate only three of those notes have ever been offered at major public auction before this evening. PMG About Uncirculated 55.

12791

Bellows Falls, VT - $5 1929 Ty. 2 The Windham NB Ch. # 13894
The sole denomination issued by this high charter Vermont bank, with the census standing at only five pieces. None have been on the market since a 2005 auction appearance, with this example having no auction records at all. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ.

12792

Bennington, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 466 The First NB Ch. # 130
A lovely example which is the finest Brown Back of any denomination known from this bank by a wide margin. Bright PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ, a premium piece worthy of a very strong bid.

12793

Bennington, VT - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 590 The First NB Ch. # (N)130
A barely circulated companion piece to the outstanding $5 Brown Back offered above. It's fully original and well embossed, and displays bright white paper and a bold blue overprint. PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ, with two color signatures.

12794

Bennington, VT - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 130
Four solid margins frame this attractive and beautifully embossed note. A couple other notes from this bank are known to be uncirculated, though none have ever been called Gem at auction. In each of its two auction appearances, this note was called Gem and it appears at auction again here this evening with a third party grade of PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

12795

Bennington, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 477 The Bennington County NB Ch. # (N)2395
The first of a pair of well matched $5 Brown Backs from this issuer. The colors are bold and this example easily appears to have earned its PCGS assigned grade of Extremely Fine 40PPQ.

12796

Bennington, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 477 The Bennington County NB Ch. # (N)2395
A second $5 Brown Back from the second of Bennington's two issuers. To our clearly untrained eye it appears as nice or nicer than the specimen offered above, but the ever vigilant fold counters at the grading service may have spotted an extra bend not visible through the PCGS encapsulation. Buy both of these notes and you will have the makings of the ultimate PCGS grading set of Bennington $5 Brown Backs. Very Fine 35PPQ.

12797

Bennington, VT - $10 1882 Date Back Fr. 545 The Bennington County NB Ch. # (N)2395
An extremely rare type and denomination from the Green Mountain state, with this one of only four examples known from all banks in the state combined. It's a high grade piece as well, with its only defect a small repaired edge tear at the bottom left which can barely be seen even if you know where to look. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.

12798

Bennington, VT - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The County NB Ch. # 2395
The second and scarcer of the two titles used here on large notes. Bright PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ, with the embossing and appearance of a far higher grade specimen.

12799

Bethel, VT - $50 1929 Ty. 1 The National White River Bank Ch. # 962
A just plain rare note, with this example one of only ten Series 1929 $50 notes known from all four issuers in the state combined. It's the only specimen known from Bethel, a town of fewer than 2000 inhabitants located in Windsor County in the center of the state. PMG Very Fine 20.

12800

12804

Burlington, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 467 The Merchants NB Ch. # 1197

Danville, VT - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Caledonia NB Ch. # 1576
A scarcer bank in small size than large, with this example the first to be offered at public sale since 2007. Bright PCGS Very Fine 35.

12808

Derby Line, VT - $1 Original Fr. 380 The NB of Derby Line Ch. # 1368
While not a rare bank, early notes from this community are rare, with this one of only two examples listed in the census that predate Series 1902 Date Backs. Derby Line is an interesting community which is located exactly on the Canadian border. In some places, the international border runs through individual homes, so that meals prepared in one country are eaten in the other, while the library serves patrons from both the United States and Canada, with two entrances, one on each side of the border. Interestingly, because of an erratic survey, the border separating Canada from the United States was drawn incorrectly by the surveyors in the 18th century, above the 45th parallel which was the agreed boundary. Derby Line was founded based on that line, and lies entirely above the 45th parallel. Any doubts as to the town's status as part of the United States were resolved in 1842, when the current boundary was confirmed by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. PCGS Apparent Fine 15, with multiple repairs, although the appearance of the note through the holder is more than acceptable.

12809

Fair Haven, VT - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The Allen NB Ch. # 2422
One of the few private name banks in Vermont, with this piece signed by Mr. Allen as President. Small notes are far scarcer from this institution than large, with only eight such examples reported to date. PMG Very Fine 25.

12810

Hyde Park, VT - $1 Original Fr. 380 The Lamoille County NB Ch. # 1163
Large notes only from this better bank, with the last First Charter to be offered, a similarly graded $5, fetching $2300 in our April, 2008 sale. PCGS Fine 15.

12811

Lyndon, VT - $1 1875 Fr. 383 The NB of Lyndon Ch. # 1140
First Charters and Brown Backs only from this early out bank, with the majority of the known examples Series 1875 aces. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20, with a few small edge tears accounting for the "Apparent" designation.

12812

Lyndonville, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 467 The Lyndonville NB Ch. # 3158
Lyndonville is a neighbor to nearby Lyndon and is the second largest city (to St. Johnsbury) in Vermont's so-called "Northeast Kingdom." This was the sole bank chartered here and one which lasted only until 1922. Seven notes comprise the entire census, with Track & Price revealing only two offerings of any kind during the past two decades, one of which was this note. Pen signed PCGS Fine 15, a conservative grade indeed for this attractive Brown Back.

12813

Manchester Center, VT - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 650 The Factory Point NB Ch. # (N)3080
An attractive large example from the only bank to issue in this small Bennington County locale. Bright PCGS Extremely Fine 45, with sharp signatures.

12814

Manchester Center, VT - $10 1929 Ty. 2 The Factory Point NB Ch. # 3080
An attractive Series 1929 example which makes an excellent companion piece to the large note from this bank offered above. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ.

12815

Middlebury, VT - $100 1929 Ty. 1 The NB of Middlebury Ch. # 1195
Our records indicate that fewer than a dozen 1929 Type I $100s are known from Vermont. Type II's were never issued making the denomination a scarce and desirable type for Vermont specialists. This note is one of the finer examples of the known group with solid paper and some remaining embossing. PMG Very Fine 25.

12816

North Bennington, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 466 The First NB Ch. # 194
A lovely note with a neat layout found only on $5 Brown Backs. PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ, a premium Vermont note.

12817

12818

Orwell, VT - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 228
A virtually flawless serial number 1 example which also bears the designation of a "Replacement Note" by PCGS. Gem New 66PPQ.

12819

Poultney, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 477 The First NB Ch. # (N)2545
Serial number 1 Vermont notes of any kind are few and far between, with this piece one of only five number 1 Brown Backs extant from all banks in the state combined. It is the sole such example from this scarce Poultney bank, which issued large notes only and has just a half dozen representatives in the census. Last offered in 2006, this attractive piece fetched $9200, and we see little reason it should not bring a similar amount this evening. PMG Very Fine 20 Net, with a couple of minor repaired splits and a hint of ink burn at the cashier's signature.

12820

Poultney, VT - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The Citizens NB Ch. # 9824
A just plain rare bank, especially in large, where the reported outstanding figure is a mere $190. This is the only such example to be offered in nearly ten years, having been obtained by our consignor back in 2004. PMG Choice Fine 15.

12821

Proctorsville, VT - $10 1875 Fr. 416 The National Black River Bank Ch. # 1383
A great Series 1875 Vermont $10 which is as lovely as it is rare. According to the new Kelly census, it is one of nine Series 1875 tens known from all Vermont banks combined, and the only one from Proctorsville. Fortunately for collectors, it is a wonderfully high grade piece as well, with a vivid red overprint, great paper quality, and a dramatic cashier's vanity signature which spans two-thirds of the note. PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ, one of the most significant Vermont notes in this extraordinary offering.

12822

Proctorsville, VT - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The National Black River Bank Ch. # 1383
This tiny village is part of the town of Cavendish, the home of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn after his expulsion from the Soviet Union. The National Black River Bank was this community's only issuer, and notes from this institution remain quite scarce, with only eight small examples reported to date. This is a nice one. PCGS Extremely Fine 40.

12823

Richford, VT - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 607 The Richford NB Ch. # 11615
An attractive example which is as nice as any large note known from this one bank northern Vermont community. PCGS Extremely Fine 40.

12824

Rutland, VT - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 The Rutland County NB Ch. # 820
This lovely piece is a true outlier, as it is the only large note from this bank of the ten in the census to grade higher than Fine. We sold this example raw in January of 2003, grading it Gem Crisp Uncirculated, and PMG clearly agrees, having holdered it as Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

12825

Rutland, VT - $2 Original Fr. 387 The NB of Rutland Ch. # 1450
This attractive example is one of only about fifty deuces reported from all Vermont banks combined, with the large majority Original Series specimens. This piece bears attractive pen signatures of the Cashier and Vice President. PMG Very Fine 25.

12826

Rutland, VT - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 484 The Baxter NB Ch. # (N)1700
This Brown Back comes from the third of Rutland's six issuing banks and is nicely margined all around and enhanced by dark and fully legible signatures. PMG Choice Fine 15.

12827

Rutland, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 466 The Killington NB Ch. # 2905
An attractive $5 Brown Back with a neat layout. It's by far the finer of the two $5 Brown Backs known from this bank, and bears the signature of Redfield Proctor as President. Mr. Proctor was a native of Proctorsville (which was named after his family), and trained as an attorney after graduating from Dartmouth College in 1851. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he returned to Vermont from Boston, where he had set up his law practice, and enlisted in the 3rd Vermont regiment as a Lieutenant. By 1863 he had been promoted to Colonel in the 15th Vermont Volunteers, where he served at the Battle of Gettysburg. After being mustered out of service in 1863, he settled in Rutland, where he practiced law and served as president of the Vermont Marble Company, a major enterprise which employed some 1700 workers. Elected to the State Legislature in 1867, he served as Rutland's representative, and in 1874 was elected to the State Senate, where he served as president pro tem. In 1876 he was elected as Vermont's Lieutenant Governor, and in 1878 was nominated and elected Vermont's Governor. He remained active in Republican politics after his term as Governor ended, and seconded the Presidential nomination of Benjamin Harrison at the 1888 National Republican convention. Harrison was duly elected and appointed Proctor as his Secretary of War, where he served for nearly three years before resigning in late 1891 to become a United States Senator, in which position he served until his death in 1908. Two of his sons, Fletcher Proctor and Redfield Proctor, Jr., also served as Governors of Vermont. The other note from this bank in this collection bears a different presidential signature, and we can not recall seeing any other example from this bank bearing Proctor's signature as president. PCGS Fine 15, a note of considerable historical importance to collectors of Vermont notes.

12828

Rutland, VT - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 493 The Killington NB Ch. # 2905
The census for this bank in large size stands at only six pieces, two of which are offered as part of this collection. This happens to be an extremely rare type and denomination for Vermont, with the new Kelly census showing just eight $20 Brown Backs from all banks in the state combined. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ.

12829

Saint Johnsbury, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 474 The Merchants NB Ch. # (N)2295
A very tough note from by far the scarcer of St. Johnsbury's two issuers. Pleasing PMG Very Fine 25, with good color and excellent centering.

12830

Springfield, VT - $10 1875 Fr. 416 The First NB Ch. # 122
A very scarce type and denomination from the Green Mountain State, with this one of only nine Series 1875 tens listed in the new Kelly census. PMG Fine 12, an evenly circulated blue end paper example which has been off the market since our consignor obtained it more than six years ago.

12831

Springfield, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 466 The First NB Ch. # 122
This is the sole $5 Brown Back known from this bank, and hence the only example to bear this neat layout, which can only be found on early issue $5 Brown Backs. PMG Choice Fine 15, with sharp pen signatures.

12832

Waterbury, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 469 The Waterbury NB Ch. # 1462
A very rare bank with just four examples in the census, with this the sole $5 Brown Back. Fortunately for collectors, it is an evenly circulated piece with good color and sharp pen signatures, which is now housed in a PCGS Very Good 10 holder. If rarity and desirability are any guide, expect a realization in the range of...

12833

Wells River, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 468 The NB of Newbury Ch. # (N)1406
A brightly colored and quite attractive $5 Brown Back which bears the first title used by this bank. PCGS Very Fine 35, a note which displays the second of the two seals used on Vermont Brown Backs (neither of which bears any resemblance to the "official" Vermont state seal).

12834

Wells River, VT - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 495 The NB of Newbury Ch. # 1406
This Brown Back bears the first seal used on this state's Brown Backs. Differing substantially from that used on the note above, it too bears no resemblance to Vermont's official seal. Pen signed PMG Very Fine 25.

12835

White River Junction, VT - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 469 The NB of White River Junction Ch. # 3484
An attractive Vermont $5 Brown Back with an ornate layout found only on early $5 Brown Backs. Pen signed PMG Very Fine 25, desirable enough to see bidding end in the vicinity of...

Alexandria, VA - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 613 The First NB Ch. # (S)651
This is one of only two Red Seals known from this northern Virginia community, and actually the nicer of the pair, although PMG notes that the top margin has been added from another note from the same bank. Choice Fine 15 Net.

12840

Alexandria, VA - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 650 Alexandria NB Ch. # 7093
A rather common bank in small size but not so in large, where the last offering, according to Track & Price, occurred in 1999. PCGS Fine 15.
From The Old Line Collection

12841

Berryville, VA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 7338
A rare note from one of Virginia's smallest and most thinly capitalized of issuers. The census shows only one large and four small notes, with this attractive specimen, the example from the Emmett Brooks collection, last offered in 2003. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ, almost certainly the nicest of the four pieces known.
From The Old Line Collection

12842

Blackstone, VA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 626 The First NB Ch. # (S)9224
A more than acceptable large example from the sole bank to issue in this Nottoway County locale. PMG Choice Fine 15, with bold purple signatures and lots of eye appeal for the grade.
From The Old Line Collection

12843

Bluefield, VA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The Twin City NB Ch. # 7782
Bluefield, Virginia was once known as Graham until the prosperity of their neighboring city of Bluefield, West Virginia led the town to change their name in 1924, in order to capitalize on the larger city's success due to the Pocahontas Coal Boom. This bank accordingly changed its issuing title as well that same year from the First NB of Graham to The Twin City NB of Bluefield. Both titles are quite scarce. This note is virtually identical in grade to the note we sold in September of 2009, which fetched just a hair less than $2500. PMG Very Fine 20.
From The Old Line Collection

12844

Bluefield, VA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Twin City NB Ch. # 7782
A just plain rare bank with the Bluefield title, used after the town of Graham changed its name to Bluefield in 1924. This piece is the only small example to be offered during the past twenty years, with its only appearance coming when our consignor purchased it in 1999. PCGS Apparent Fine 15, with a rather minor repaired edge tear at the bottom left.
From The Old Line Collection

12845

Chase City, VA - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 592 The First NB Ch. # (S)9291

Danville, VA - $20 1902 Date Back Fr. 646 The Virginia NB Ch. # (S)10156
An extremely rare bank which was in business for less than three years before closing its doors forever in January of 1915. Only $10 and $20 Date Backs were issued, with this one of just two notes known, and considerably the nicer of the pair at that. Like so many of the great notes in this collection, it bears the pedigree of the Emmett Brooks holdings, where it was obtained by our consignor back in 2003. Bright PMG Very Fine 25, with strong signatures and lots of eye appeal.
From The Old Line Collection

12852

Fairfax, VA - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The NB of Fairfax Ch. # 6389
By far a scarcer bank in small size than large, with just four Series 1929 specimens reported to date. According to Track & Price, the last opportunity to obtain such a note at public sale came over twelve years ago. This piece, graded Extremely Fine 45 by PCGS, is nicer than any currently in the census.

12853

Fredericksburg, VA - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 482 The NB of Fredericksburg Ch. # (S)1582
A scarce bank in large size, with fewer than ten examples reported to date. This piece is new to the census, and is the only $10 Brown Back observed from this institution. According to Track & Price, it has been twenty years since any Brown Back from this bank has been offered for public sale. PMG Choice Fine 15, with nice pen signatures.

12854

Fries, VA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The First NB Ch. # 12290
Unique in large size and likely to stay that way in perpetuity, as this southwest Virginia institution had but $350 outstanding in large size notes in 1935. Any estimate on this PCGS graded Fine 15 Virginia trophy item is just a guess, but if rarity and desirability are any guide, expect a realization in the neighborhood of...

Gate City, VA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The Peoples NB Ch. # 7135
This small Scott County community was home to three banks, all of which are quite scarce. This attractive piece bears two color pen signatures and appears new until closely examined. PMG Extremely Fine 40.

12856

Grundy, VA - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 659 The First NB Ch. # 11698
A just plain rare note from the only bank to issue in this western Virginia mining community. The county seat of Buchanan County, this community rebuilt in a new location after a devastating flood in 1977. Track & Price reveals only three large examples (along with one small) extant, with this the first specimen to be offered at public sale since 2003. PMG Choice Fine 15, with clear purple signatures.

12857

Herndon, VA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 626 The NB of Herndon Ch. # (S)9635
This is the only large note known from Herndon, once a sleepy rural town in Fairfax County and now a high tech center and bedroom community for Washington, D.C. This community has an unusual numismatic connection, having been named in honor of naval explorer William Lewis Herndon. Herndon commanded the SS Central America, the so-called "ship of gold," on its fateful last voyage in 1857, going down with his ship and its golden cargo after having helped to save 150 passengers and crew. The note bears the familiar Virginia pedigrees of Elvin Miller and Emmett Brooks, having been obtained by our consignor at the Brooks sale in 2003 for just under $3000. Expect a substantially higher realization today, as unique notes from the Commonwealth are only available on the infrequent offerings of great collections such as the Old Line holdings. Pen signed PMG Very Fine 20.

Irvington, VA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 633 The Lancaster NB Ch. # 5290
A very scarce bank in both large and small size, with this example off the market since our consignor obtained it in 2004. Bright PCGS graded Very Fine 35PPQ, with sharp purple signatures, almost certainly the finest note, large or small, known from this one bank community.

Leesburg, VA - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 484 The Loudoun NB Ch. # (S)1738
A new to the census Brown Back from this avidly collected northern Virginia bank. The colors are bright and the eye appeal apparent on this attractive PMG graded Very Fine 25 specimen.

Leesburg, VA - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 484 The Loudoun NB Ch. # (S)1738
This is one of only four Brown Backs known from this avidly collected northern Virginia bank. Pen signed PMG Very Good 8.

12862

Lexington, VA - $20 1902 Red Seal Fr. 639 The Peoples NB Ch. # (S)7173
An extremely rare bank in large size, with this one of only two examples reported to date and the only Red Seal. In fact, $20 Red Seals are a rare Virginia type from any bank, with the census standing at only fifteen pieces from all banks in the state combined. Pen signed PMG Very Fine 20 Net, with a couple of minor repairs that are barely visible and affect nothing, a great note which is one of the highlights of this outstanding Virginia offering.

12866

Lynchburg, VA - $5 1902 Red Seal Fr. 588 The First NB Ch. # (S)1558
This is the lone Red Seal in the census for this charter number and a note that has been off the market for over a decade. Also, as a type for Virginia, Red Seals are distinctly uncommon. This example is one of the nicer Red Seals even with the internal splits mentioned on the label, which are minor and unobtrusive. PMG Very Fine 25.
From The Old Line Collection

12867

Lynchburg, VA - $10 1875 Fr. 420 The Peoples NB Ch. # 2760
First Charter tens are scarce items indeed from this state, with the census standing at just around a dozen and a half pieces, all but two Series 1875 examples. About half that number are accounted for by notes from this Lynchburg bank, all of which are approximately the same grade. We sold a Very Fine specimen for a bit over $3500 in our January, 2005 FUN sale, which is the last time any of the Lynchburg FCP tens have been on the market. Expect this PMG graded Very Fine 20 example to see bidding end at close to the same figure.

Manassas, VA - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The NB of Manassas Ch. # 5032
A very scarce bank located in now-booming Northern Virginia. This community was of course the site of the opening skirmish of the Civil War, and any note from here is always the subject of considerable demand. Nice PMG Choice Very Fine 35.

Narrows, VA - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 658 The First NB Ch. # (S)11444

Petersburg, VA - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 469 The NB of Petersburg Ch. # 3515
This is one of three Brown Backs known from this Petersburg bank, and by far the finest of the trio, as the two others grade no better than Very Good or Fine. This specimen is a fortunate exception, with great color, paper quality, and signatures, along with the bonus of a neat $5 Brown Back layout. Its only defect is a couple of minor edge splits at the bottom margin, resulting in a PCGS grade of Apparent About New 50. Expect to see bidding easily reach and very likely exceed...

Radford, VA - $20 1902 Red Seal Fr. 639 The First NB Ch. # (S)6782
A rare bank in both large and small size, with this example one of only four large notes in the census and the only Red Seal. PMG has graded it Very Good 10 Net, mentioning restoration, but the restoration has been done with consummate skill and the note appears far nicer than the PMG grade would indicate.

Richlands, VA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The Richlands NB Ch. # 10857

Roanoke, VA - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 613 The First NB Ch. # (S)2737
One of two Red Seals known from this Roanoke bank, and the nicer of the pair at that. Everything about this note screams quality, from the vivid red overprint to the bold pen signatures and from its bright white paper to the nice even margins on both front and back. Your cataloguer sold this note to Emmett Brooks in 1977, and it passed from Emmett to our consignor when we sold Emmett's collection at auction in 2003. Expect this piece to surpass the realization we obtained for the other Red Seal from this bank, which we sold earlier this year for $4600. PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ, a lovely note fit for the finest of collections.

Roanoke, VA - $20 1902 Red Seal Fr. 640 The City NB Ch. # (S)8152
A rare Roanoke bank which issued only Red Seals and Date Backs before closing in January of 1915. Track & Price shows only two offerings of any kind during the past twenty years, with this note in the census but new to the market. PMG Choice Fine 15, with bold black signatures.

Rocky Mount, VA - $10 1902 Red Seal Fr. 613 The First NB Ch. # (S)6685
The only Red Seal extant on by far the scarcer of Rocky Mount's two issuers. Just four examples are reported, with one listed without a grade and a second grading only Good-Very Good. Fortunately for collectors, this specimen is quite nice, with a vivid red overprint, good color, and bold black signatures. Interestingly, Jno. W. Woods, who signs here as this bank's president, would go on to become president of the City NB of Roanoke and signs the Red Seal from there we offer above as president as well. Mr. Woods was a well known attorney and businessman who served in the Virginia General Assembly and as a county judge for some twenty years. PMG Very Fine 20.

South Boston, VA - $10 1882 Date Back Fr. 545 The First NB Ch. # (S)5872
A just plain rare note from a bank which issued Brown Backs and Second Charter Date Backs only before calling in its circulation, leaving it with only $680 outstanding at its close in 1926. This is one of only three examples known, with only this piece having been offered since 1984, tracing its pedigree to our sale of the Emmett Brooks collection in 2003. PMG Very Fine 20.

Tazewell, VA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 634 Tazewell NB Ch. # 6123
An attractive large example from this scarce SW Virginia bank which looks far better than its PMG assigned grade of Very Fine 25 Net. The Net grade mentions a "restoration," which is nothing but a well disguised repaired split which can not be seen unless the note is candled.

Troutville, VA - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 627 The First NB Ch. # (S)9764
A rare note from a town of 400 people located in Botetourt County. This community did not take its name from the fish, but from the three Trout brothers who lived in homes near the station that was established when the railroad arrived in 1881. This specimen is one of only three large examples recorded from this one bank town, and carries a great Virginia pedigree, having formerly been a part of the collections of Emmett Brooks and Elvin Miller. PMG Fine 12, a nice example for the grade.

Wise, VA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 605 The First NB Ch. # 10611
An incredible Virginia rarity which is unique to the bank in large size. It comes from the sole bank to issue in this coal country community, which is the county seat of Wise County. The bank issued a truly miniscule amount of large size notes in this denomination only, and, by 1935, the amount outstanding was a tiny $150. We sold this note to our consignor in its only public appearance back in our May, 2000 sale, where it fetched $3960 in a far less sophisticated climate. Expect it to bring a substantially higher number this evening, as unique large notes are few and far between in today's considerably more knowledgeable market. PMG Very Good 8, with a very decent appearance for the grade.

Wytheville, VA - $10 1929 Ty. 2 Wythe County NB Ch. # 12599
The second, and last, bank chartered in Wytheville, a community named in honor of George Wythe, a well known lawyer in colonial Virginia and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Although organized in 1924, this bank elected to issue only Series 1929 examples, with Track & Price indicating no offerings since 2005. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ.

Yorktown, VA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 607 The First NB Ch. # 11554
A very scarce large size note from one of America's most historic communities, the site of the decisive battle which sealed our country's victory over the British in the Revolutionary War. Just $900 was outstanding in large notes from this institution, which was this location's sole issuer, by 1935, and, of that amount, only eight large examples are reported extant today. PMG Very Fine 20, considerably nicer than the Fine example with problems which we sold for $1610 at our 2009 FUN auction.

Everett, WA - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 4686
In our Memphis sale in June of this year, a neighboring note from this location in this grade sold for $1064. Notes from Washington State do not appear too often in this lofty state of preservation. The officer's signatures that appear on this well margined beauty are J.A. Norway and Wm. C. Butler. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.

12891

Quincy, WA - $5 1902 Date Back Fr. 592 The First NB Ch. # (P)9102
A great Washington rarity, with this example the first ever to be offered at public sale from this short-lived institution, which was in business from 1908 through 1913. During its brief tenure the bank issued a truly miniscule number of Red Seals and Date Backs, with its five year total adding up to less than 700 sheets. The Kelly census lists one other example from this remote one bank Grant County location, but that piece has been ensconced in a Washington holding for the better part of two generations and shows no signs of leaving. Pen signed PMG Very Good 10, a true Washington trophy item which offers the chance for one fortunate collector to add a new town to their holdings.

12892

Seattle, WA - $50 1902 Plain Back Fr. 678 The Seattle NB Ch. # 4229
An evenly circulated PMG Fine 12 $50 that is perfect as a representative of this increasingly elusive type. The dark signatures are printed.

Tacoma, WA - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The Brotherhood-Cooperative NB Ch. # 12667
Bold signatures of C.L. Babcock and Henry E. Cass are seen on this bright and attractive Tacoma note. Most survivors from this bank are low grade and unattractive. PMG Very Fine 25.

12895

Wheeling, WV - $1 Original Fr. 380 The First NB Ch. # 360
An extremely rare West Virginia type and denomination from a scarce West Virginia bank. Just three notes are known from this institution, which issued Original Series First Charters only before liquidating in 1875. Aside from this note, the Gengerke data shows no offerings of any kind from here since an appearance on a Hickman and Waters fixed price list thirty-six years ago. Any First Charter ace from West Virginia is a rare note indeed, with the Kelly census showing just five other examples from all banks combined, with the highest grade listed as Fine. This is quite likely the nicest ace known from the state. Full margins frame solid paper and a bright red seal and serial numbers. The signatures of Cashier Adams and President Wheat remain bold. PMG Very Fine 25.

12896

Baldwin, WI - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The First NB Ch. # 10106
A scarce note from this St. Croix County issuer. PCGS Apparent Fine 15 with a small edge tear noticed at left center along the top margin.

12897

This is the first Type 2 for this charter number to emerge from hiding. Also, the serial number matches the denomination. PMG Fine 12.

Fennimore, WI - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 600 The First NB Ch. # (M)9522
Our most recent experience with this charter number was in September 2008, when we sold a Fine Series 1902 PB $10 for $1035. The penned signatures are dark and the net grade is due to rust which is miniscule. PMG Very Good 10 Net.

12899

Fond Du Lac, WI - $20 1882 Value Back Fr. 581 The Commercial NB Ch. # (M)6015
A scarce type with just over twenty examples reported for the state in total. Stamped signatures remain quite bold on this PMG Fine 12 graded example. Greensheet bid for the type is $775.

12900

Manitowoc, WI - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 631 The NB of Manitowoc Ch. # (M)4975
Previously recorded in the census as About Uncirculated, this note certainly has all the look of a much higher grade than PMG Choice Very Fine 35. The paper is as bright as one will find on an AU note with a couple too many bends for the grade, none of which detract from the overall eye appeal of the note. The color is excellent as well as the bright overprint and the bold serial number 1 adorning the scroll below McKinley's portrait at left. The signatures are as bold as the day they were penned onto the note.

12901

Marinette, WI - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 498 The Stephenson NB Ch. # (M)4137
This becomes just the sixth Brown Back and the very first $20 Brown Back to be documented on this charter number. Two color pen signatures are noticed with Cashier Hill's particularly strong. PMG Choice Fine 15.

12902

Menasha, WI - $5 Original Fr. 399 The NB of Menasha Ch. # 1714
A just plain rare Wisconsin bank which issued First Charter notes only before liquidating in 1879. By 1910, a miniscule $677 was outstanding, making it no surprise that even the massive Krause Wisconsin holdings contained only one low grade specimen from this institution. PMG notes a tear, which is small and quite unobtrusive, along with an "ink burn," which is grader-speak for a tiny pinhole size incredibly unimportant spot of ink erosion at one of the signatures that affects absolutely nothing. Whatever its tiny flaws, this is by far the nicest of the four notes extant from this bank. Choice Fine 15 Net.

12903

Watertown, WI - $5 1902 Red Seal Fr. 589 The Merchants NB Ch. # (M)9003
This attractive serial number 1 Red Seal is listed in the census as Choice Crisp Uncirculated. It isn't. It has now been graded as Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ by PMG. It isn't...although PMG is certainly closer. It actually is a nice, bright, fully embossed Extremely Fine with great eye appeal along with some light folds which are barely visible through the holder. Whatever its technical grade, this serial number 1 Red Seal is certain to delight its fortunate new owner.

Thermopolis, WY - $20 1929 Ty. 1 First NB Ch. # 12638

A beautiful cut half sheet with plate letters G through L. The inks are ideal and each note has natural paper wave plus prominent embossing. All are PCGS graded. The first note grades Choice New 63PPQ, the second and third notes grade Very Choice New 64PPQ, the fourth and sixth notes grade Gem New 65PPQ, and the fifth note grades Superb Gem New 67PPQ. This is only the third cut half sheet of Fr. 1500 that we can recall offering. Our most recent example sold for $2760 in May 2010. Tonight's offering is overall a much nicer cut half sheet as it includes a "67," where the cut half sheet from last May did not.

Fr. 1500 $1 1928 Legal Tender Notes. Original Pack of 100. Choice Crisp Uncirculated to Gem Crisp Uncirculated.
This pack's history is short and easily tracked right back to the shores of Puerto Rico. Although dated 1928, small size Legal Tender Aces were printed in 1933, with the first 5000 notes being released at that time. The remainder of the issue was released in Puerto Rico between 1948 and 1949. It is interesting to note, however, there is a penciled notation of 5-3-33 on the original band around this group of notes. Our consignor's mother received this pack directly from a bank in Puerto Rico where she still resides. When he was a young boy, his mother gave him a single note which he kept, in pristine condition. It was reunited with the pack to complete the run of 100 notes. This is only the second original pack that we have ever handled. The other was long prior to the Currency Auctions of America and Heritage merger in 2001. The notes fit perfectly together with a crackling fresh and original wave expected with an original pack of notes printed during this time period. The notes were perfectly cared for and differ in grade based on margin size alone.

12914

Fr. 1503 $2 1928B Legal Tender Notes. Two Consecutive Examples. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
This is the first consecutive pair of this rarity that we can recall handling in many years. In April, we sold a single PMG 64 EPQ example in the same serial number range for $1265. Therefore, look for this pair to double that realization.

The last low numbered note from this special run we had was the serial number 25 that we offered back in January of 2008. That example realized over $4000 in this same grade. The note we are offering tonight is also a beautiful low numbered example, this note with the lucky two-digit serial number of A00000013A. This Red Seal Hundred is perfectly natural with crackling fresh paper quality and excellent eye appeal. The tight left margin keeps it from the Gem category. Originally part of the Amon Carter holdings, as he was able to secure the first brick of 4000 notes. An ultra low two digit serial number piece sure to enhance any small size type collection.

12960

Fr. 1704* $10 1934C Silver Certificate. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

12964

12967

Fr. 1870-C $20 1929 Federal Reserve Bank Note. PMG Superb Gem Unc 67 EPQ.

12969

Fr. 1880-K $50 1929 Federal Reserve Bank Note. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
PMG has graded only four and PCGS just two pieces of this number higher than AU. This reveals how scarce Fr. 1880-K is in the uncirculated grades. In January 2004, we offered a raw Choice CU and it brought $3450. This premium Choice CU should do better.

12970

Fr. 1890-D $100 1929 Federal Reserve Bank Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
Saying that the embossing is bold is an understatement on this $100 that could have come off the presses earlier today.

In the Robert Azpiazu reference, Collectors Guide to $1 FRNs Series 1963 - 2003A, he lists this Dallas star as the second rarest $1 FRN at $1300 in CU. Look for this premium Gem example to easily surpass that figure.

12976

Highly desirable up ladder serial number 12345678 is found within the ranks of this well preserved pack. In January 2007, we sold an up ladder Series 1999 $1 B-E FRN in PMG 66 EPQ for $2530. We fully expect this up ladder and the other 99 notes in the pack to realize at least that much, if not more.

This pleasing pair has all the eye appeal of full Very Choice notes, though there is a touch of handling that may have precluded those grades. The margins are full and the colors are excellent.

12982

Fr. 1960-B $5 1934D Specimen Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ.
SPECIMEN is printed once vertically to the right of Lincoln's portrait and solid serial number B00000000A is exhibited on this note.

12983

Fr. 1960-F $5 1934D Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

Fr. 2004-C* $10 1934 Light Green Seal Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
A stunning LGS star of this number that is as nice as any graded by PMG. Also, just our third opportunity to offer an example of this star.

12988

Fr. 2015-G $10 1950E Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Superb Gem New 68PPQ.
Neither PCGS nor PMG has graded an example higher. Bulls-eye centering within wide margins helped this $10 earn its lofty 68PPQ grade.

12989

Fr. 2035-C $10 2001 Federal Reserve Note. Serial number Six. PCGS Superb Gem New 68PPQ.
A most pristine Big Head $10 graced with serial number six. Not much can be improved upon as the colors are bold and the margins extra large.

Fr. 2050-D $20 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ.
A boldly printed note that is well centered within four balanced margins. It is also as nice as any of this number that you will find in a PMG holder.

12992

Fr. 2050-F $20 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PMG Superb Gem Unc 67 EPQ.
Somehow PMG was able to award another note of this number with a one point higher grade than this dark ink, broad margined, and well centered Atlanta $20.

12993

Fr. 2051-C $20 1928A Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Dark inks, original paper surfaces, and wide margins have kept this note at the very front of the grade line for this Friedberg number. Our last example at this third-party grade level brought $1380 in April 2008.

12994

Fr. 2051-G $20 1928A Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

To date, we have not handled an example of this changeover pair. The Schwartz and Lindquist tome indicates only one other changeover pair exists from the $20 Series 1934 to 1934A Mules. That pair is a recorded pair from the Cleveland district. Punch through embossing and original paper wave is exhibited here.

12998

Fr. 2054-J* $20 1934 Light Green Seal Federal Reserve Note. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
In April 2008, we auctioned a PMG 65 EPQ example of this elusive Friedberg number in high-grade for $2530.

12999

"Up Ladder" Fr. 2082-I $20 1995 Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
"Up" or ascending ladder serial number 12345678 is found on this $20 from the I-A block. A very neat accessory for the only note of this number to be graded a 66 by PMG.

13000

Fr. 2089-B $20 2004 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Full margins are seen on this colorful $20 that sports solid serial number EB 11111111E.

A pleasing serial number four example from the Dallas district awaits one lucky bidder.

13002

Fr. 2091-E $20 2004A Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
Lucky serial number seven is carried by this lovely Richmond Big Head $20 FRN. With a little broader margin along the top this note certainly would have been a Gem.

13003

Fr. 2091-E $20 2004A Federal Reserve Note. Serial Number Eight. PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
A most pleasing Big Head $20 FRN boasting serial number eight. A thinner top margin has held this colorful example from a higher grade.

13004

Fr. 2100-D $50 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
This is the nicest PCGS graded example by two points which is really no surprise, as this piece is well centered within wide margins and it also boasts natural paper wave. Our last offering at this grade level was a PMG example in April 2009 and it brought $2185. We expect a repeat performance with the current offering.

13005

Fr. 2100-D $50 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Neither PMG nor PCGS has graded an example higher. Natural paper wave is easily viewed through the third-party holder.

13006

Fr. 2100-J* $50 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Fine 15.

This knockout is one of the two highest graded $50's for all twelve districts of the 1934A Series.

Fr. 2150-G $100 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
A colorful and well centered example carrying the PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ grade, not a designation PMG awards lightly. An identically graded example sold for $1610 in our June, 2010 sale.

13009

Fr. 2150-G $100 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.
Serial number embossing is noticed on this $100.

13010

Fr. 2150-H $100 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
A close study of the statistics for this note leaves the impression of a much rarer note than what is generally assumed. PCGS has graded only six examples with the current offering being the nicest example by 11 grade points. Also, PMG has graded only three examples, with their best effort being a 64. This leads to the conclusion that the Gem CU listing of $2000 in the latest Schwartz-Lindquist reference will be seriously challenged.

13011

Fr. 2150-K $100 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Choice New 63.
Bright paper and a vibrant overprint are seen on this Dallas $100.

13012

Ideal inks, natural paper wave, clearly original embossing and great centering are traits of this lovely Boston $1000 that well deserves its 66 grade and EPQ designation. PMG has noted "Exceptional Paper Quality, Great Embossing" on the back of the holder.

13032

Fr. 2211-E $1000 1934 Federal Reserve Note. PMG Very Fine 20.
In 2006, this piece realized $2,760 against an estimate of $1,800 to $2,200 in our September Long Beach Auction. The note and its coveted serial number 13 were described in part, "This low serial number 13 example is the lowest reported serial number in the current Oakes tome."

13047

Fr. 2220-F $5000 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PMG Very Fine 20.
For the first time in more than a half decade, we are pleased to offer a Series 1928 $5000 Federal Reserve Note. With about a dozen and a half Series 1928 $5000s known in total, they are far rarer than the 1934s by a factor of almost seven to one. This mid-grade example boasts a deep pine-green overprint with wholesome paper and full margins framing deeply printed devices. Peering through the holder, it appears as though some of the original embossing is still present. With auction appearances so far and few between for this rare high denomination note, it is likely that we will see a fierce bidding competition here this evening and a realization of...

13048

Fr. 2221-B $5000 1934 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
Embossing of the vibrantly colored serial numbers is seen through the PCGS holder. The paper is crisp and looks as bright as the day it was printed. Registration of the front and back design is perfect, though a couple millimeters too high in the frame lines for a full Gem grade. Few $5000 and $10000 notes survived their minor run in circulation without some minor blemish that would prevent them from earning a Premium Paper Quality or Exceptional Paper Quality designation from a third party grading service. This note however, is one of the few, beautifully original ultra high denomination notes available to collectors. Since 2008, we have handled only one other example in Uncirculated condition to earn an EPQ or PPQ designation. That piece, a PMG graded 64 EPQ from Chicago sold for $126,500 in our September 2009 Long Beach Signature Auction. We have sufficient enough auction records to support a rising trend in prices of late for circulated $5000s and $10000s. With Chicago 1934 $5000s outnumbering New York examples by a factor of 3 to 1, and the realization in late 2009 strong in our memories, we see no reason why this note cannot easily reach or exceed...

13049

Fr. 2231-A $10000 1934 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Extremely Fine 45.
Boston is a perfect setting for the sale of this gorgeous Light Green Seal $10000 as it originally issued from the halls of the former Federal Reserve Bank Building on Milk Street. For collectors that count folds, there are just two, one at each of the lower two corners. A touch of handling precludes a full About Uncirculated grade, which eye appeal alone would easily justify. Both the paper and overprint are vibrant, with the printed devices retaining their full glory. While $10000s from Boston are not the scarcest of the ten districts known, we have handled only one other in the last five years. The last $10000 we offered in EF was a Net Graded PMG 40 that realized $69,000 in our April Central States Auction just a few months ago. With that realization in mind and the tenacity of collectors focused on the best Boston has to offer, we expect this piece to realize...

13051

Fr. 2302 $5 1934A Hawaii Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ.
A truly beautiful note with great centering. It also has embossing on both sides as high-grade Hawaiis should have due to the "HAWAII" overprint on the back. A study of both major grading services' statistics informs us that combined they have graded only two Fr. 2302's higher.

13052

Fr. 2302 $5 1934A Hawaii Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
One of a lovely consecutive pair of $5 Hawaiis offered here, a screamingly original piece with its embossing visible right through the PMG holder.

Fr. 2307* $5 1934A North Africa Silver Certificate. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.

13065

Fr. 2405 $100 1928 Gold Certificate. PMG Very Fine 30.
Brightly colored and displaying a sharp gold overprint. This is a difficult grade in which to find the $100 denomination.

Fr. 2407 $500 1928 Gold Certificate. PMG About Uncirculated 53.
A colorful and attractive example of this much sought after issue. A center fold and some light handling are the only circulation issues noticed. Sure to make its way into a high end small size type collection.

Fr. 848 $5 1914 Federal Reserve Note PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Last appearing in our January 2009 FUN auction where it was cataloged, "This fabulous piece is one of the finest inverts known. Its provenance can be traced back to the famed Grinnell sale of June 1946 as lot 4826. This is a beautiful, well centered gem with bold embossing, natural paper wave, and ideal ink colors. It is also by far the finer of the two invert examples known for this Friedberg number." That evening it realized $9775, tonight it should repeat that performance.

13069

Skaneateles, NY - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The NB of Skaneateles Ch. # 5360
An appealing error with great eye appeal that is sure to create a stir this evening, as it is only the sixth bank to have an overprint error such as this recorded. The black portion is inverted which remains a bit scarcer than the brown inverted overprint variety. Both error guides place the value for this error type in the area of $25,000 - $35,000. Long held from the collecting community until recently, expect our estimate here to perhaps prove conservative. PMG Choice Fine 15.

Fr. 2175-B $100 1996 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
This becomes just the second invert example for this issue we have been able to offer at auction. The last note was a PMG 64 EPQ that realized $4025 on a pre-auction estimate of $3000-$4000. A flawless beauty certain to eclipse that price as there is not much to improve upon here.

Fr. ?-B $100 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
This is a high-grade example of the error where the second (first face) printing is missing. We know that this is a Big Head design $100, but not the actual series. The last example of this error on a $100 that we offered was a PCGS 65PPQ example in April 2010 and it brought $2185. Look for this higher grade error to bring more.

Fr. -B $100 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.

A pleasing example of a Type I invert from the Philadelphia district. This note has been off the market for over 30 years. This is a Type I invert, not a Type II as indicated on the label. Fine tuning by the BEP in the printing process in the late 1970's caused the creation of a second type of third printing invert.

A spectacular U37/47 mismatch serial number error that displays jumbo sized margins.

13137

Fr. 1922-I $1 1995 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Extremely Fine 40PPQ.
This is one of the most significant mismatched serial number errors we have ever had the pleasure of offering, as it is not only a six digit mismatch bearing numbers I51585118N on the left and I06030618N on the right, but shows the impression of the serial number wheel on the left as well. The note is fully original, with excellent centering and barely any traces of evident circulation. If rarity and desirability are any guide, our estimate may well turn out to be very conservative indeed.

Fr. 1935-L $2 1976 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
Two Dollar errors are among the most coveted for error specialists. The doubled and mismatched overprint on the 1976 Cleveland notes is one of the most dramatic and eye appealing $2 errors ever discovered. All of the examples known show two different serial numbers which are different by four digits and shifted just far enough apart to read the entire serial numbers separately. This note is a pleasingly original piece and a previously unrecorded example from a very limited number of examples in a very tight number or recorded serial numbers. The two most recent examples we handled were PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ's which realized $17,250, including the most recent one in our May 2009 Central States Signature Auction. With many error specialists competing for a chance to buy this note, which could lay claim to title as king of the $2 FRN errors, we can expect a realization here this evening of...

The color of the overprint and back design is ideal. Aside from being a very attractive type note, this piece has a blob of excessive ink on back near the upper left. The amount of excessive ink is so heavy that it was at one time an accumulated mass that has partially chipped away.

Fr. 1935-K $2 1976 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
A light center bend is seen on this incredible error. While we are classifying this piece as an obstruction error, the way the obstruction occurred made it much more dramatic. A portion of another note, wet with ink and then ripped and crinkled was on top of this note when it was printed. Lines from the detailed portions of the intaglio printing are visible within the smeared ink. With few errors like this appearing on notes, let alone $2 Federal Reserve Notes, we expect this piece to easily reach or exceed...

End of the roll paper splices are supposed to be cut out of the rolls of paper when they are cut into sheets. End of the rolls are also marked with a dyed strip (red, purple, or green) that runs the entire width of the roll that is supposed to be cut out of the paper. When these quality control measures go awry, you get a paper splice error that makes it into circulation. This example which amazingly was folded twice is preceded by a near Gem bookend note. PMG has only graded three examples for the issue.

Problem free examples of the 1861 Demand Notes are always highly sought after, and have remained undervalued for many years.

Colorful overprints complement bright paper and four solid even margins on this resplendent Gem. The 1878 $2 Legal Tender was printed with two signature combinations and thus there are two Friedberg numbers representing the type. Between the two numbers, there are fewer than 200 notes known, the Fr. 49 being far scarcer than the Fr. 48. In Gem grades, they are very elusive with five notes graded by both PMG and PCGS combined. PCGS has graded this piece alone, while PMG has graded four, two in 65 and two in 66.

Fr. 96 $10 1869 Legal Tender PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
In January of 2008, this stunning $10 was offered as part of the Peter Gamble Collection. Its above average eye appeal, even for the grade of 66, resulted in fierce bidding competition. The physical attributes were captured in our FUN catalog and read, "It is a real beauty with exceptionally bright colors and broad, even margins on both sides. The back design on this particular type is larger than the face--and the top-to-bottom centering on the back is generally the grade-limiting factor. This particular note has near-perfect centering on the back, with lots of room outside of the design both top and bottom. This is also a type that often comes with little or no originality. The EPQ designation, placed on the holder by PMG, clearly indicates that this note has all its original paper characteristics." Bidders who view this stunner on the web or in person will immediately know this note stands out among the many other Gems available for this type and we expect another strong realization again this evening.

Fr. 96 $10 1869 Legal Tender PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
Gem but for its back centering, this Rainbow Ten certainly lives up to its colorful nickname. The hues are spectacular, and the face centering is well nigh perfect.

While many are nice, this piece is truly exceptional, displaying ideal color, letter perfect centering, and a freshness to the surfaces that imparts the impression of the note having just been printed. We've handled more than our share of Fr. 102's, including many of the nicest pieces, but none have exhibited the combination of color, freshness and centering of the note that is offered here tonight. It easily deserves its PCGS Superb Gem 67PPQ designation, and remains the only Fr. 102 to achieve the 67 grade from either service. A marvelous note fit for the finest of collections.

Fr. 103 $10 1880 Legal Tender PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.
A lovely note with great color and centering. The paper quality appears fully original through the holder as embossing can easily be observed, and, though we are loath to argue with the grading service without having seen this note raw, we can not see why this example is not in a higher grade holder.

13306

Fr. 107 $10 1880 Legal Tender PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
A solid Choice 64 EPQ example of this popular 1880 Jackass type with the contrasting deep blue serial numbers and large red spiked seal. A lovely note, which, with just a hair more bottom margin, would easily have qualified for the Gem designation.

13307

Fr. 114 $10 1901 Legal Tender PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.
A beautifully margined Bison with bright paper and great color.

13308

Fr. 119 $10 1901 Legal Tender PCGS Very Fine 35.
Well margined on both sides, this Bison retains great color and eye appeal.

13309

Fr. 119 $10 1901 Legal Tender PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.
Bright for the grade, this well margined Bison displays nice eye appeal. A small edge cut at top right resulted in the apparent grade.

13310

Fr. 121 $10 1901 Legal Tender PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
Nicely centered and very bright, with its originality evident through the PMG holder, a solid "65 EPQ" with claims to an even higher grade.

13311

Fr. 121 $10 1901 Mule Legal Tender PMG About Uncirculated 50.
PMG has added "Mule" to the face of the holder and "John Burke Back Plate #316" as a comment on the back. The colors are quite bright with decent eye appeal displayed by this lightly handled note.

13312

Fr. 121 $10 1901 Mule Legal Tender PCGS Extremely Fine 45.
Burke Back Plate 305 is printed on this brightly inked, most likely twice folded Bison. The overprints retain deep inking and the eye appeal is prolific on this lightly handled note in a pleasing collector grade.

13313

Fr. 122 $10 1901 Legal Tender PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
A most handsome piece, with clearly original embossing that can be plainly seen through the third-party holder. The note has good margins, bright colors and all the appearance and eye appeal of a Superb Gem.

13314

Fr. 122 $10 1901 Legal Tender PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.
A bright and attractive overprint is seen on this $10 Bison that has full frames. There is a small edge tear at bottom center which is noted by PCGS and accounts for the Apparent grade.

13315

Fr. 122 $10 1901 Legal Tender PCGS Apparent Fine 15.
PCGS has noticed a slight edge tear at top left. Despite this minor blemish the note remains bright.

13316

Fr. 122 $10 1901 Mule Legal Tender PCGS Fine 15.
The margins are sharp on this complete Bison.

13317

Fr. 126b $20 1863 Legal Tender PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
A lovely note which falls into the middle of the uncirculated run of Fr. 126b's which have given the collecting community its high grade supply of this much in demand type for the past fifty years. This piece has earned every point of its EPQ grade, with even margins, sharp print quality, and bright colors. The last PMG graded 64EPQ Fr. 126b to sell realized over $20,000 a little more than a year ago.

13318

Fr. 132 $20 1880 Legal Tender PMG Very Good 10.
The large, brown seal type is much scarcer than most other types of 1880 $20 Legal Tender notes. Were the stains not present this example would certainly have been a solid Fine.

13319

Fr. 134 $20 1880 Legal Tender PMG Choice Fine 15.
The seal retains good color on this evenly circulated $20 Legal Tender Note.

13320

Fr. 136 $20 1880 Legal Tender PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
This well margined beauty has been off the market for nearly five years. Bold colors and pronounced embossing are noted.

13321

Fr. 136 $20 1880 Legal Tender PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
According to Track & Price, this piece was last offered at public auction in late 2008 and sold for $4,830. Its sizeable margins, deep blue serial numbers, and bright salmon colored seal give it all the eye appeal to exude the Gem look commensurate with its grade.

13322

Fr. 146 $20 1880 Legal Tender PCGS About New 53.
Friedberg numbers 146 and 147 both have small red scalloped seals and red serial numbers; however Fr. 146 has a population in Track & Price of 52 versus 701 for Fr. 147. This very lightly handled example displays nice margins and bold color.

13323

Fr. 147 $20 1880 Legal Tender PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
A crackling fresh, beautifully original example of the final Twenty Dollar Legal Tender note. Delivering a combination of full, even margins and drop dead centering, this vibrant example certainly is a special piece, the likes of which hasn't been seen in several years.

13324

Fr. 147 $20 1880 Legal Tender PMG Very Fine 25.
The margins and centering are quite pleasing on this lightly handled Legal.

13325

Fr. 164 $50 1880 Legal Tender PMG Very Fine 25.
Nice margins, good color, and even circulation are observed on this note that is very attractive for the grade. A small split repair, seen at the top margin, was mentioned by PMG.

13326

Fr. 190 $10 1863 Compound Interest Treasury Note PCGS Very Fine 25.
In 2005, this piece graced the pages of our September Long Beach Signature Auction catalog. At the time, it was described, "This is the rarest of the Ten Dollar Compound Interest Treasury Notes, bearing the issue date of June 10, 1864. Only ten examples are known, and this is one of the two finest. This is actually a circulating Legal Tender note that bore interest at six per cent and was redeemable in full only at the end of the three year circulating period. The table on the back shows how interest was earned over that period. As the Civil War raged on and the country sank deeper into debt financing the war, these notes were issued to help raise much needed funds. These were issued in $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1000 denominations. Even lower denominations are very rare in high grade. The gold overprint has flaked off somewhat, but there is no paper loss, and the note is far above average for this issue. It's an incredibly attractive note for the type, with good remaining crispness and strong color. For those desiring something neat and out of the ordinary, this beautiful and rare note deserves strong consideration." Later that year, another example realized $9,200 at auction. That piece was also graded Very Fine 25 by PCGS and was the last piece offered at public auction to date. With no offerings in the last half decade for this rare $10 Compound Interest Note, expect another realization of at least...

13327

Fr. 191a $20 1864 Compound Interest Treasury Note PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20.
Though the Fr. 191a is the more common of the two signature combinations on Compound Interest $20s, it is by no means 'common '. Fewer than sixty notes are known extant between the two numbers. What's more, collectors who are still sitting on the sideline contemplating collecting Compound Interest Treasury Notes should consider that there are less than 230 known for all of the Friedberg numbers combined. The bronzing has oxidized slightly, though it has not been enhanced by a note doctor as many examples of this type have been. PCGS indicates repaired internal splits with tape and some edge repairs, none of which are too distracting from the overall eye appeal.

13328

Fr. 215 $1 1886 Silver Certificate PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
This strictly original Martha Ace has great embossing, pristine paper surfaces and ideal color. It is held from the full Gem grade only by the centering on the back which is a touch too high.

13329

Fr. 217 $1 1886 Silver Certificate PCGS About New 53.
An attractive Martha, just a few very minor blemishes away from the Choice New grade.

13330

Fr. 217 $1 1886 Silver Certificate PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ.
Decent margins and tons of eye appeal highlight this perfectly clean, lightly circulated Martha.

13331

Fr. 223 $1 1891 Silver Certificate PCGS Very Choice New 64.
Gem sized margins frame this vividly colored Martha. Full embossing adds to the Gem like appearance.

13332

Fr. 224 $1 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
A well margined Educational Ace exhibiting great color and beautifully printed design elements.

13333

Fr. 224 $1 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Apparent Gem New 66.
Well margined, with full, bright, impressive color, pleasing paper surfaces, original embossing and decent centering of both sides. PCGS has red holdered this note for a restoration at the right edge which is very well done and quite difficult to locate.

13334

Fr. 224 $1 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
A bright and well printed $1 Educational bearing the coveted PPQ designation bestowed by PCGS. Just a bit better centering and this lovely example would certainly qualify for a Gem grade.

13335

Fr. 224 $1 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Uncirculated 62 Net.
A decently centered and brightly printed $1 Ed which has been net graded by PMG because of a couple of miniscule rust flecks.

13336

Fr. 224 $1 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ.
A beautifully printed note displaying great color and design details. A small corner fold is all that held this note back from an uncirculated grade.

13337

Fr. 224 $1 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Choice About Unc 58.
A most pleasing example of one of the most recognizable designs of US currency. The margins are ample and the inks appear as fresh as the day they were printed.

13338

Fr. 224 $1 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Choice About New 55PPQ.
A very lightly handled example with nice margins that earned the PPQ designation from PCGS.

13339

Fr. 225 $1 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ.
A gorgeous example of the more challenging Bruce-Roberts signature combination of this popular design, featuring beautiful margins and embossing. PCGS and PMG combined have graded only four examples at this level, with none higher.

13340

Fr. 225 $1 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Very Choice New 64.
Nice margins, bright paper, embossing, and a boldly printed back all combine to generate plenty of eye appeal on this note, from the scarcer of the two Friedberg numbers for the issue.

13341

Fr. 226a $1 1899 Silver Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
The margins certainly qualify as superb though the centering is a touch raised near the upper right margin. Prominent embossing attests to the screaming originality possessed.

13342

Fr. 229 $1 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Superb Gem New 68PPQ.
Black Eagles at this superior level simply do not turn up that often. This pleasing, nicely margined piece joins a short list of notes in this grade. Across all 1899 $1 issues there are just a mere dozen notes in this state of preservation with only one note higher. The population is split right down the middle between the "Series Below" and "Series Right" varieties. In our recent Memphis auction, another Fr. 229 at this grade level realized almost $5500. Expect a similar result this evening.

13343

Fr. 229a $1 1899 Silver Certificate PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
PMG reports good embossing that is quite evident on this example from an elusive signature combination. Very close to the XF grade.

13344

Fr. 229a $1 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Very Fine 35.
A colorful and nicely margined example of the series at right variety, the key to the Black Eagle series. An elusive Black Eagle Friedberg number that frequently stymies collectors due to its small census population.

13345

Fr. 231 $1 1899 Silver Certificate PMG Choice Very Fine 35 Net.
One of the more elusive signature combinations for the Black Eagle issue. Napier-Thompson notes are always snapped up whenever they appear. Despite the mention of a tear repair, this colorful note should find a new home this evening.

13346

Fr. 233 $1 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Two digit serial number B57A is carried by this lovely Black Eagle. Well margined and displaying plenty of originality, this note should prove popular.

13347

Fr. 233 $1 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
Fancy serial number Z4000Z graces this lightly handled Black Eagle.

13348

Fr. 233 $1 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Choice About New 58.
Dark inks and a bold overprint are seen on this Black Eagle. The two digit serial number B98A adds appeal to its uncirculated appearance.

13349

Fr. 237 $1 1923 Silver Certificates Cut Sheet of Four PCGS Gem New 66PPQ (3) & Gem New 65PPQ.
This beautiful cut sheet was last sold in our September 2007 Long Beach Signature Auction. At that time, it realized $6,900. The bold embossing of serial numbers K89B, K90B, K91B, and K92B is easily seen through each of the holders. The margins are almost perfectly even from note to note and the inks are deep and ideal

13350

Fr. 237 $1 1923 Silver Certificate PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Boardwalk margins frame this perfectly printed Ace. The serial number exhibited here is a highly desirable three digit example, A226B.

13351

Fr. 237/238 $1 1923 Silver Certificates About New Six Consecutive Examples with Changeover Pair.
The first two notes are Fr. 237 and the last four notes are Fr. 238 and comprise a full cut sheet. The changeover pair occurs with the last Fr. 237 and first Fr. 238 note. There was a time where plates for Fr. 237, 238, and even 239 were all on the presses at the same time. All six notes display paper originality.

13352

Fr. 238 $1 1923 Silver Certificate Star Note PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
In 2007 we featured a PMG graded 65 EPQ Star Note of this Friedberg number that realized $2,530. This piece is just as nice with broad, even margins, a bold blue overprint and prominent embossing.

13353

Fr. 239 $1 1923 Silver Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
While certainly not rare in any real sense, with less than 400 examples known including stars, this is by far the rarest of the 1923 $1 Silver Certificates. There are over 14,000 Fr. 237's and over 5,000 Fr 238's. This number, while outnumbered a whopping forty to one by Fr. 237, does not have its true scarcity reflected in its price. This applies even more when a real Gem is sought. This one is as nice an example as any we've seen, and the first in this grade we've had to offer in nearly two years.

13354

Fr. 246 $2 1891 Silver Certificate PCGS Extremely Fine 45.
Bright paper and bold inks add to the eye appeal of this lightly circulated note.

13355

Fr. 247 $2 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
A most pleasing example of this always popular design type. Nice centering, strong embossing and razor sharp print quality propel this note to the assigned grade. The note just misses the Gem grade due to some tightness along the top right margin on the face. Worthy of some strong competition this evening.

13356

Fr. 247 $2 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 30.
A problem-free circulated Educational deuce that is very attractive for the grade. It is well margined, beautifully centered, and has plenty of eye appeal remaining.

13357

Fr. 247 $2 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Fine 12.
A fully detailed Educational $2 with solid margins and wholesome paper for the grade.

13358

Fr. 248 $2 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ.
Edwin Blashfield's design featuring Science Presenting Steam and Electricity to Industry and Commerce is an iconic design on United States currency. The presentation on a note of this grade is nothing short of stunning. A perfect frame of creamy white paper surrounds the delicately printed design that is overprinted with two boldly embossed serial numbers and a cherry red seal.

13359

Fr. 248 $2 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Beautifully margined on both sides, this attractive note displays plenty of original deep embossing. The colors are quite vibrant and the eye appeal quite apparent. It's a lovely example of this much sought after type which is certain to delight its fortunate new owner.

13360

Fr. 248 $2 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 20.
A circulated example of this popular $2 design that ranked number 11 in the 100 Greatest American Currency Notes by Q. David Bowers and David M. Sundman.

13361

Fr. 251 $2 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Choice About New 58.
A tougher Friedberg number for the design, this example is an attractive lightly handled note with vibrant color.

13362

Fr. 255 $2 1899 Silver Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
Bright and fully original, with the color and freshness of a note printed this afternoon.

13363

Fr. 258 $2 1899 Silver Certificates. Cut Sheet of Four. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ (2), PCGS Gem New 65PPQ, PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
A stunning and original cut sheet that is well embossed and vibrantly colored. Our January 2009 FUN Signature Auction was the last time we featured a cut sheet of 1899 $2 Silvers. That group was four Fr. 253s and was nearly identical in grade, with two 66s and two 65s. It realized more than $10,000 and we expect more of the same tonight from this lovely cut sheet.

13364

Fr. 258 $2 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Solid margins border the perfectly printed devices of this 1899 Deuce. The embossing is prominent and easily seen in the voids of the back design.

13365

Fr. 261 $5 1886 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 20.
An evenly circulated note with the popular Silver Dollar design on the back.

13366

Fr. 267 $5 1891 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 25.
A neatly margined and clean example of an always popular type. A scarcer type than the Silver Dollar Back according to census data.

13367

Fr. 267 $5 1891 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 20.
A nice average circulated note of a scarce and popular type. It's well margined and quite clean for the grade.

13368

Fr. 268 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ.
The allegorical theme on the $5 Educational is Electricity Presenting Light to the World, also known as Electricity as the Dominant Force in the World. The design, featuring Electricity personified at center holding a lighted bulb illuminating several other allegorical figures, was adapted from a painting by Walter Shirlaw. Gorgeous detail is observed on this nicely printed, well margined example displaying great color. Not common in this state of preservation as witnessed by the number of appearances at auction at this lofty grade level.

13369

Fr. 268 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
The female figures portrayed on the note are bare breasted which led to an outcry by society women in Boston and in turn led to many bankers refusing to accept the notes. The controversy over the $5 Educational note has been cited by several sources as the origin of the phrase, "banned in Boston." Whether true or note, there is no disputing the beauty of this piece. The ornate back features portraits of Civil War Union Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Philip H. Sheridan. A very nice example of this always popular design type which ranks right up there as one of the nicest we have had the opportunity to handle.

13370

Fr. 268 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 20.
A nicely centered example with good color and body for the grade.
From The Old Line Collection

13371

Fr. 268 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 20.
A decent $5 Educational which displays a couple of very minor rust spots.

13372

Fr. 268 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Very Good 10.
Even wear is seen this still fully detailed VG.

13373

Fr. 269 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
The embossing is unmistakable and four broad margins frame finely detailed devices. Five Dollar Educational notes remain some of the most coveted items in paper money and the Gem grade captures all of the attributes that make its beauty timeless.

13374

Fr. 269 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 25.
A nicely margined Five Dollar Educational that is centered quite well. The piece has retained excellent color, and has a very nice overall appearance. The Bruce-Roberts signature combination is scarcer than Fr. 268 by a factor of nearly two to one.

13375

Fr. 269 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Choice Fine 15.
The allegorical theme on the $5 is Electricity Presenting Light to the World, also known as Electricity as the Dominant Force in the World and the design elements remain quite attractive on this circulated example.

13376

Fr. 269 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Fine 12.
This fully margined Fine has all the eye appeal of most Very Fines. The serial numbers are sharp as are the design details, which are still very bold for for the grade.

13377

Fr. 269 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PCGS Apparent Fine 12.
The design details remain largely uninterrupted by the wear, though an edge tear and some minor rust stains are noted by PCGS, resulting in an Apparent grade. A popular type nonetheless.

13378

Fr. 270 $5 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Very Good 10.
An evenly circulated piece with design details fully intact for the grade. The margins are sizeable for the type.

13379

Fr. 271 $5 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
A well margined Chief with bright paper and great color. Embossing and natural paper wave are visible through the holder on this highly appealing example.

13380

Fr. 272 $5 1899 Silver Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
A lovely example with bright paper and great color. One of the scarcer Chief signature combinations with a known population lower than other issues.

13381

Fr. 272 $5 1899 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 25.
The regal G.F.C. Smillie portrait of Ta-to-ka-in-yan-ka, also known as Running Antelope, a member of the Oncpapa tribe of Sioux Indians, is seen on this popular design. The Lyons-Treat signature combination is one of the scarcer varieties of the Chiefs.

13382

Fr. 273 $5 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Gem New 65.
A well margined Chief displaying great color, embossing, and natural paper wave. A note certain to delight the fortunate collector who acquires it.

13383

Fr. 274 $5 1899 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 20.
A nice mid-grade example with the scarcer Vernon-McClung signature combination.

13384

Fr. 277 $5 1899 Silver Certificate PMG Extremely Fine 40 EPQ.
The light folds responsible for the grade are easily seen through the holder. A Chief in a most pleasing mid-grade displaying great color and solid surfaces.

13385

Fr. 278 $5 1899 Silver Certificate Star Note PMG Very Good 10.
Although well circulated, this replacement Chief certainly retains appeal and is housed in a comment-free holder. A mere thirteen Stars for this Friedberg number are currently listed in Track & Price. Another example at this grade level sold for just a touch under $2000 in December 2009.

13386

Fr. 280 $5 1899 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 25.
A nice circulated Chief with plenty of eye appeal for the grade.

13387

Fr. 281 $5 1899 Silver Certificate PCGS Apparent Choice About New 58.
This Chief $5 has all the brightness and color of what one would expect from a Gem, as the look here is of a perfect specimen. PCGS notes minor margin repairs, but they must be minor indeed as they are virtually impossible to spot.

13388

Fr. 281 $5 1899 Silver Certificate PMG About Uncirculated 53.
Bright blue overprints are displayed by this lightly handled Chief. Quite clean and likely to realize in the area of...

13389

Fr. 282 $5 1923 Silver Certificate PMG Superb Gem Unc 67 EPQ.
This fresh and original note comes from a small run of very nice uncirculated consecutive notes. Each of the notes from that run is fully embossed and boasts vivid colors. Standing apart from that group is this note, with far larger and near perfect margins.

13390

Fr. 282 $5 1923 Silver Certificate PCGS Extremely Fine 40.
Three folds on this crisp, bright note are noticed within the holder. An example in an elusive grade as most are either low grade or high grade with very few in between as lovely as this one.

13391

Fr. 282 $5 1923 Silver Certificate PMG Very Fine 25.
A sharp Porthole note with good color and even circulation. These notes are tough in all grades, and nice mid-grade examples are particularly hard to locate.

13392

Fr. 282 $5 1923 Silver Certificate PMG Choice Fine 15.
A most pleasing Lincoln Porthole in a decent grade range.

13393

Fr. 282 $5 1923 Silver Certificate PCGS Apparent Fine 12.
A few issues affect this complete $5 Silver Certificate such as edge tears and multiple pinholes. Still a desirable type note even in this grade.

13394

Fr. 282 $5 1923 Silver Certificate PMG Fine 12.
Even circulation is noticed on this brightly overprinted $5 "Porthole."

13395

Fr. 282 $5 1923 Silver Certificate PMG Apparent Fine 12.
A deep blue overprint is seen on this evenly circulated Porthole. PCGS indicates an Apparent grade due to an edge tear at the bottom center.

13396

Fr. 290 $10 1880 Silver Certificate PCGS Fine 12.
A bold red seal is the focal point of solid printing on this wholesome 1880 $10 Silver. The Friedberg 290 is a one number type, for which there are only about 40 notes known. In the last two plus years, examples of this number graded Fine by PMG and PCGS have realized $2990 to $3,737.50.

13397

Fr. 293 $10 1886 Silver Certificate PCGS Very Fine 25PPQ.
Fresh and wholly original paper is exhibited on this large red seal Tombstone. In January of this year, our FUN auction featured a PMG Very Fine 30 example of this Friedberg number that realized $2,760. That piece, though a smidgeon higher in grade, lacked a descriptor extolling the fresh and original paper quality that this piece has. In our opinion, this superior piece will likely exceed that piece in price this evening.

13398

Fr. 296 $10 1886 Silver Certificate PCGS Apparent Fine 12.
The color of the seal is still very vibrant. Some edge damage is noted by PCGS and results in an Apparent grade. Two Friedberg numbers make up the 1886 $10 Silver type displaying the Large Brown Seal and they are nearly equal in rarity. They are also equally popular with collectors for their ornate back designs.

13399

Fr. 299 $10 1891 Silver Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Paper wave and original embossing highlight already perfect paper. The margins are ample and the colors of the serial number and cherry red seal are vibrant. This beautiful Tombstone has all the eye appeal of the Ex-Trask note we sold most recently in our FUN Auction this last January for $16,100. We can easily see a realization in that range again this evening...

13400

Fr. 300 $10 1891 Silver Certificate PCGS Very Fine 25.
A much scarcer Friedberg number, with about 100 examples for this Tombstone listed in the latest Track & Price census. Decent margins and bright color are still visible on this lightly handled example.

13401

Fr. 352 $1 1891 Treasury Note PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
A gorgeous Stanton with decent centering of both sides, original embossing that can be seen through the holder, perfect colors of the inks and paper and adequate margins. A lovely note that certainly appears to have earned its grade.

13402

Fr. 352 $1 1891 Treasury Note PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
Very close to the full Gem grade with all of the attributes one would expect from a Stanton Ace carrying the PPQ designation.

13403

Fr. 353 $2 1890 Treasury Note PMG Very Good 8 Net.
The Ornate Back McPherson Deuces are easily at least twice as scarce as the Open Back design. The net grade is due to tear repairs.

13404

Fr. 357 $2 1891 Treasury Note PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
A colorful Stanton $2 note that is kept from a higher grade by a slight margin issue along the bottom. Colorful and fully embossed, this original example should prove quite popular.

13405

Fr. 357 $2 1891 Treasury Note PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.
With a touch better centering on the reverse, this richly colored McPherson Deuce would easily make the Gem grade. A lovely example of a scarce and popular type.
From The Old Line Collection

13406

Fr. 359 $5 1890 Treasury Note PCGS Gem New 65.
A stellar example of this very scarce type. The colors do not get any better on this large brown seal ornate back note, and the lifelike portrait of General Thomas, the "Rock of Chickamauga," stares out into eternity at the center of the note. PCGS has graded only four Fr. 359's at this grade level, with none finer.

13407

Fr. 359 $5 1890 Treasury Note PCGS New 62.
Bright and nicely margined on both front and back, an attractive type example with its distinctive large brown seal.

13408

Fr. 361 $5 1890 Treasury Note PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
Bold red inks of the serial numbers and seal contract perfectly against the wholly original paper. The full margins are as broad and even as many that we have seen on examples graded Gem by the third party grading services.

13409

Fr. 361 $5 1890 Treasury Note PCGS Very Fine 20.
The paper is uninterrupted on this Coin Note with the full, ornate back.

13410

Fr. 362 $5 1891 Treasury Note PCGS Choice About New 55.
Bright paper and full margins give this piece a full Choice or better appearance. The serial number and seal remain bold adding to the overall look. A slightly higher grade AU example sold in our September 2008 Long Beach Signature Auction for $2,300. Since it appears that the popularity of Treasury Notes never waned, we expect this piece to realize...

13411

Fr. 366 $10 1890 Treasury Note PMG Choice Fine 15.
A solid, problem-free example for the grade, with good color and no adverse comments whatever.
From The Old Line Collection

13412

Fr. 368 $10 1890 Treasury Note PCGS Very Good 10.
The paper is wholesome for the grade, including full margins and remarkably sharp corners. A pleasing VG.

13413

Fr. 369 $10 1891 Treasury Note PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
This pretty Sheridan $10 Treasury Note remains strongly embossed and has withstood the test of time. Virtually gem save for a tight margin at upper right, this colorful beauty should achieve a strong price.

13414

Fr. 369 $10 1891 Treasury Note PMG About Uncirculated 55.
A nice looking $10 Treasury note that displays a blemished seal that has faded a bit over time. Otherwise, this well margined example displays deep inks.

13415

Fr. 710 $1 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
Strong embossing and dark inks are traits of this Boston $1.

13416

Fr. 713 $1 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
A new serial number for the census that is within the ranks of a mini-run of similarly graded notes.

13417

Fr. 713 $1 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
This is the second lowest serial number for this Friedberg number in the census.

13418

Fr. 718 $1 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
Strong embossing is easily seen on the back of this well centered Cleveland Ace.

13419

Fr. 718 $1 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.
Low serial number D574A graces this strongly embossed example.

13420

Fr. 723 $1 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Perfectly even, full margins frame this well embossed Ace. The full originality is enhanced by the desirable two digit serial number F99A.

13421

Fr. 737 $1 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Three digit serial number J121A graces this perfectly original Kansas City $1. Embossing of the third printing is easily visible through the third party holder and the margins are ample.

13422

Fr. 738 $1 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Star Note PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
Gem size margins frame this well embossed and beautiful star note. A survey of each of the Friedberg numbers that make up the 1918 $1 Federal Reserve Bank Notes indicates there are a handful of uncirculated notes known, mostly from the more common districts such as New York and Boston. Many of the districts haven't seen an uncirculated representative reach auction in a decade or more and our records indicate this piece is only the second note from all districts to make an auction appearance in at least two years. The census for this number currently sits at just six stars, with this piece sitting atop that list as the finest currently known and graded. Doug Murray lists a premium for this piece in CU at $16,000, though other realizations are in the high $4000 range for slightly more common districts leading us to believe this note should realize...

13423

Fr. 740 $1 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Very Choice New 64.
A nicely margined example with dark inks.

13424

Fr. 753 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.
A fresh Battleship with plenty of evident originality.

13425

Fr. 757 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
A handsome three digit Cleveland Battleship Deuce with terrific color and bold original embossing. PMG has given this really nice type note its positive "Exceptional Paper Quality" comment.

13426

Fr. 757 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ.
Full embossing of the design details and the overprint are seen on this fully margined Battleship. The margins are ample enough to give the note a full Gem appearance and the low D533A serial number adds to the eye appeal.

13427

Fr. 762 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
Bright and fully original, with flashy colors and great eye appeal, and displaying single digit serial number F7A. With a bit larger margins this note certainly would have been a Gem.

13428

Fr. 762 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PMG Very Fine 20.
This Atlanta Battleship still retains great eye appeal.

13429

Fr. 764 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ.
Much tougher to locate in the higher grades than one would expect for an Atlanta Battleship. The color is sharp and the originality unmistakable, making this one of the nicest notes known carrying this signature combination. Almost two years have passed since we last offered a note bearing this Friedberg number.

13430

Fr. 767 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
A fully original Battleship which would be a candidate for an even higher grade with a hair better centering.

13431

Fr. 772 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
A most dazzling Minneapolis district $2 Battleship that is nicely margined and beautifully centered. PCGS has graded only this example at this level, with only one higher. In April 2008, we sold a PMG 66 EPQ example for $9775.

13432

Fr. 777 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.
An elusive Dallas FRBN Friedberg number enumerated by a mere 37 in the Track & Price census. When the Dallas district is compared to more common districts for the Battleship series, the disparity is quickly realized. The reason for the grade is not readily visible and it seems apparent that this is not just your average About New note. Certain to realize a figure more in line with Choice New examples.

13433

Fr. 779 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PMG Very Fine 25.
Only three dozen San Francisco Battleships for this Friedberg number comprise the current Track & Price census.

13434

Fr. 817 $10 1915 Federal Reserve Bank Note PMG Choice Fine 15.
Fr. 817 is actually a scarcer note in circulated grades than in New, which makes it the perfect type example for any collector wanting to own just one $10 FRBN. It also has "Acting" engraved before "Secretary," thus adding a little individuality to this Friedberg number. This snappy example is bright and solid for the grade.

13435

Fr. 825 $20 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PMG Fine 12.
From our auction of the Flynn Collection where it was cataloged, "Only 21 examples were known until Tom's note joined the census. This Friedberg number is the only St. Louis $20 FRBN, making the 22 count far more significant. Of those 22, three are permanently impounded in collections of Federal Reserve Banks. PMG and PCGS have graded a total of five, with a 20 being the highest at either service. The highest grade piece to ever auction was an About New at the June 1996 Memphis sale. The most recent sale of this Friedberg number was in January of '07 when we sold a raw Fine for $2450. This note will be the first graded Fr. 825 to reach the auction market." In a rousing market this note realized $5750 and only one note has since been added to the census. Tonight the realization will most likely be...

13436

Fr. 832b $5 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ.
Track & Price reveals a PMG Very Fine 30 sold in mid 2008 for a touch more than $1000. This piece is a three-fold VF with a hint of handling. The red overprint is exceptionally bold and the paper is brilliant.

13437

Fr. 837b $5 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PMG Very Fine 30.
The overprints are deeply printed and the overall eye appeal quite pleasing for this mid-grade FRN.

13438

Fr. 846 $5 1914 Federal Reserve Star Note PCGS Very Fine 20.
A scarce Burke-Houston star of which there are only ten such examples listed in the census. This piece is one of the mid grade examples, though no examples are known above Extremely Fine. The overprint remains a vibrant midnight blue.

13439

Fr. 851c $5 1914 Federal Reserve Star Note PCGS Very Fine 25.
This is the finest example of this scarce "c" type star to be offered at public auction in over two years. A wonderful overprint and attractive paper make this a very appealing VF.

13440

Fr. 879a $5 1914 Federal Reserve Note PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Despite the high census numbers for this Minneapolis district $5 FRN, this note stands alone at the top of the population report. Visually stunning with excellent margins and spot on centering. With no previous realizations to use as a guide for a note of this caliber, we expect it to finish in the area of...

13441

Fr. 879a $5 1914 Federal Reserve Star Note PCGS About New 50.
An attractive Minneapolis district star which appears new inside its PCGS holder. It's one of just ten Fr. 879a stars listed in the census, and right up there in the top three in grade, with only one example having been graded higher by PCGS to date. If rarity, grade and desirability are any guide, expect a realization in the neighborhood of...

13442

Fr. 891b $5 1914 Federal Reserve Note PCGS Very Choice New 64.
An unaccountably rare note in high grade, with this piece the only example graded 64 or higher by PCGS. PMG has graded two examples at the 64 level, also with none higher. This bright and attractive specimen has the potential to surprise.
From The Old Line Collection

A Complete District Set of Burke-Glass $5 Federal Reserve Notes.
This lot consists of a district set of Burke-Glass $5 Federal Reserve Notes as follows: Boston Very Fine, New York Very Fine, Philadelphia Very Fine, Cleveland Very Fine+, Richmond Fine-Very Fine, Atlanta Fine-Very Fine with a minor margin split at the top, Chicago Extremely Fine, St. Louis Extremely Fine, Minneapolis Fine-Very Fine with a split at the bottom, Kansas City Extremely Fine, Dallas Very Fine-Extremely Fine, San Francisco Very Fine+. Inspection is advised, as no returns will be accepted on this lot for any reason.

13445

Fr. 892a $10 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
Just 30 examples for this Boston number are listed in the Track & Price census. The overprints are quite bold and the paper very bright.

13446

Fr. 892a $10 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
This note last appeared at auction with us in January 2008 where it realized $920. One of the nicer examples for this district known displaying bright surfaces and bold color.

13447

Fr. 907a $10 1914 Federal Reserve Note PCGS Gem New 65.
Auction appearances for Boston FRNs in a true Gem grade have been very limited. This bright note should make FRN collectors stand up and take notice.

13448

Fr. 943a $10 1914 Federal Reserve Note PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.
An unaccountably rare note in the uncirculated grade ranges, with this specimen the only example of the 55 PCGS has graded to date carrying a grade of 60 or higher. Not only is this the PCGS finest known, no higher grade specimen has been graded by PMG either, with that service grading a lone 64 which lacks the EPQ designation and none higher.

13449

Fr. 944 $10 1914 Federal Reserve Note PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.
Full margins frame this elusive Gem Dallas $10. A survey of the population reports for PMG and PCGS indicates this note is the finest note known for the Friedberg number and by a wide range. PMG has yet to grade an uncirculated example of this number and the closest example that PCGS has seen are a few 61s. As a finest known Dallas note, it is difficult to price this piece. However, we do know that it should easily outpace the Fr. 947 in 66 that sold for $1,840 in September of 2008, especially as that Friedberg number is available in quantity in Gem.

13450

A Complete District Set of Burke-Glass $10 1914 Federal Reserve Notes
A district set of $10 Burke-Glass 1914 Federal Reserve Notes, as follows: Boston Very Fine+, New York Extremely Fine, Philadelphia Very Fine, Cleveland Fine-Very Fine, Richmond Very Fine, Atlanta Fine+ with the serial numbers a bit blurry, Chicago Extremely Fine, St. Louis Very Good-Fine, Minneapolis Fine-Very Fine, Kansas City Fine-Very Fine, Dallas Very Good, stamped number on back, San Francisco Fine+. Inspection is advised, as there will be no returns accepted on this lot for any reason.

The following districts are included: Boston Very Fine, New York Extremely Fine, Philadelphia Very Fine+, Atlanta Very Good, St. Louis Fine, Minneapolis Fine+, San Francisco Very Good. Inspection is advised, as there will be no returns allowed on this lot for any reason.

Fr. 955b $20 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ.
A deep red overprint still exhibits some of its original embossing. The paper remains bright and the margins are ample on all four sides. In 2009 a PCGS 30 without a PPQ descriptor sold for nearly $1000. With that in mind, we expect a realization here this evening of...

13453

Fr. 956a $20 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PCGS Fine 15.
The census currently stands at 11 notes, with only four of those pieces having appeared at auction in the last decade. This piece is a new addition to that number and a newly recorded high serial number. The wear on this piece looks to be commensurate of a full VF grade.

13454

Fr. 956b $20 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PCGS Apparent Fine 12.
A very tough Red Seal to acquire as attested to by the current population of a paltry nine notes. In April 2008, a PMG Very Fine 30 brought $32,200. We expect this note which has some staining and a faded overprint to realize in the area of...

13455

Fr. 962a $20 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PMG Very Fine 25.
A scarce Dallas district Red Seal which traces its pedigree to the Rickey collection. It's one of only about thirty examples known, with only two of that number grading higher than Extremely Fine 45. This evenly margined specimen displays a bright red overprint for the grade.

13456

Fr. 969 $20 1914 Federal Reserve Star Note PMG Very Fine 25.
This note brings the total number of stars known for this Friedberg number to seven. This is the first that PMG has graded and it's the new finest known for the Friedberg number. PCGS has graded three with the highest a VF20, and according to Track & Price, the highest uncertified example grades 15. This note is remarkably clean for the grade with excellent color and not a hint of a problem. We sold a PCGS VF20, the previously finest known example, for just under $1900 in September 2007.

13457

Fr. 984 $20 1914 Federal Reserve Star Note PCGS Extremely Fine 40.
One of the finest replacement notes known from the Atlanta district carrying the Burke/McAdoo signature combination. It is nicely margined and displays deep inks.

13458

A Complete District Set of Burke-Glass $20 1914 Federal Reserve Notes
A complete district set of $20 Burke-Glass 1914 Feds, less Atlanta and Kansas City, which were not printed with this signature combination: Boston Very Fine, New York Extremely Fine, Philadelphia Very Fine, Cleveland Very Fine, Richmond Fine+, rust, Chicago Very Fine, St. Louis Very Good, Minneapolis Very Fine, Dallas, Very Good-Fine, San Francisco Very Fine, stained. Inspection is advised, as no returns will be accepted on this lot for any reason.

13459

A Quartet of $20 1914 Burke-Glass Federal Reserve Notes.
The following districts are included: Boston Very Good-Fine, pinholes, Philadelphia Very Good, Richmond About Fine, San Francisco Fine+. Inspection is advised, as no returns will be allowed on this lot for any reason.

13460

Fr. 1013a $50 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PMG Very Fine 20.
An even dozen survivors are known for this Friedberg number, with the finest example recorded a lone EF. Full margins frame this VF20, which is just 5 points away from a PMG Very Fine 25 that set the all time price record of $13,800 in our 2008 Central States Signature Auction. Though that was the height of the market for these very scarce Red Seal $50s, another VF has since surpassed the $4000 mark.

13461

Fr. 1019b $50 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PCGS Very Fine 20.
Before this note appeared at auction, a PMG Very Fine 20 realized $4,140 in June of 2009. Our records also indicate that piece was net graded. Red Seal $50 FRNs are very scarce with no Friedberg number being represented by more than twenty survivors. The overprint on this example is bold and quite attractive.

13462

Fr. 1048 $50 1914 Federal Reserve Note PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.
The original embossing and paper wave are seen through the holder. A closed pinhole likely kept this note from receiving the coveted EPQ descriptor. About three years ago, we featured a Choice New example in our Central States Signature Auction which realized $3,450.

13463

Fr. 1052 $50 1914 Federal Reserve Note PCGS Very Fine 30.
Decent margins and good color are seen on this tough St. Louis district Burke-McAdoo signed note numbering just 33 survivors.

A pleasing example displaying the coveted PPQ designation.

A lot of seven Burke-Glass $50 1914 Feds, including the following: Boston Very Good+, New York Fine, corner off, Philadelphia Very Good, Cleveland Fine, Richmond Very Good, corner off, Chicago Fine+, St. Louis Very Good-Fine. Inspection is advised, as no returns will be allowed on this lot for any reason.

13466

Fr. 1074a $100 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PMG Fine 12.
In the last decade, only four other examples of this Friedberg number have made public auction appearances according to Track & Price.

13467

Fr. 1088 $100 1914 Federal Reserve Note PCGS Very Fine 30.
An attractive and colorful note with plenty of eye appeal for the grade.

13468

Fr. 1088 $100 1914 Federal Reserve Note PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20.
A small edge tear at bottom left has been mentioned by PCGS. The note appears quite bright and looks a touch nicer than the grade implies.

13469

Fr. 1104 $100 1914 Federal Reserve Note PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ.
Between the two major grading services, 149 examples of this number have been graded with only seven at this level and a single piece higher. This note most certainly earned every point of its 67 grade, with margins that are even all the way around, letter perfect colors, and original embossing which is easily visible through the third party holder. A lovely type note which is fully equal to the PCGS Superb Gem 67PPQ specimen we sold in our May Central States auction for $11,000.

13470

Fr. 1128 $100 1914 Federal Reserve Note PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
A gorgeous example, seemingly kept from Gem by a tight top margin. Still an excellent representation for type and one of the finer examples of this Friedberg number.

Three Burke-Glass $100 Feds, including New York Fine, Cleveland Very Fine, and Richmond Fine. Inspection is advised, as no returns will be accepted on this lot for any reason.

Fr. 1172 $10 1907 Gold Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Track & Price indicates the last PMG Gem 66 EPQ to appear at auction realized just over $6,300. This piece is a vibrantly colored and perfectly embossed example that will certainly see plenty of bidding activity. An attractive piece for which there are no finer examples graded by PMG.

Fr. 1173 $10 1922 Gold Certificate PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.

A soft center fold is the only circulation this note has sustained. Plenty of strong embossing and blazing colors are noticed.

Expect a heated bidding exchange to acquire this bright, lightly handled Garfield $20 Gold Certificate. A premium collector grade piece that barely misses being New.

13477

Fr. 1178 $20 1882 Gold Certificate PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.
The golden yellow colors remain vibrant on front and back and the seal is still cherry red. There are some small tape repairs on back that called for an Apparent grade from PCGS.

13478

Fr. 1178 $20 1882 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 25.
The golden overprinted hues and orange back retain excellent color in relation to the time this note spent in circulation. Nicely margined and sure to please with this note likely to achieve a strong price.

13479

Fr. 1178 $20 1882 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 25.
Bright paper is displayed by this colorful example. It is nicely margined with no flaws noticed on the back printing.

13480

Fr. 1178 $20 1882 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 20.
Nicely margined, attractive and an ideal example for the type. These early $20 Gold Certificates are always in heavy demand.

13481

Fr. 1178 $20 1882 Gold Certificate PMG Choice Fine 15.
Appearing Very Fine from the face with the back color a bit subdued. Certain to fill a hole in someone's collection.

PMG has detected some rust and repairs on this otherwise solid $20 Gold Certificate.

13483

Fr. 1180 $20 1905 Gold Certificate PCGS Very Fine 30.
For collectors of high end circulated large notes, the Technicolor $20 Gold Certificate is unquestionably the most difficult twentieth century issue to obtain. The vast majority of circulated examples have problems of one sort or another, especially with the colors on the reverse, which are prone to fading or discoloration. This piece is a perfect example for its grade, with the face displaying a sharp red seal and bright gold overprint and the back sporting an utterly original and unmolested vivid orange hue. The last three Technicolor twenties we have sold grading Very Fine 30 have fetched between $6325 and $7475, and a similar realization is almost certain for this attractive specimen.

13484

Fr. 1180 $20 1905 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 20.
The inks on the face of this note are quite bright and have not faded as is often the case with Technicolor notes in this grade. Serial number embossing is present and the back which is also prone to losing color retains deep orange hues with no breaks whatever.

13485

Fr. 1180 $20 1905 Gold Certificate PCGS Apparent Fine 15.
The face colors remain very bright while the faded back has caused the note to have an apparent grade given. Not very many fancy serial numbers are recorded for this Friedberg number with this survivor bearing seven digit radar serial "2407042."

13486

Fr. 1185 $20 1906 Gold Certificate PCGS Extremely Fine 45.
The overprint is quite bold and the back exceptionally bright on this very lightly handled Gold Certificate. It faces up quite nicely and should realize a premium.

Fr. 1187 $20 1922 Mule Gold Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Broad, even margins frame this well embossed beauty. The vivid yellow overprint and golden-orange back design are as rich and perfect as the day they were printed.

Fr. 1187 $20 1922 Gold Certificate Star Note PMG Very Fine 30.
Despite being one of the more common star notes with nearly 150 examples known, this example displays deep overprints and excellent color. It remains quite attractive and will be sure to please.

13492

Fr. 1192 $50 1882 Gold Certificate PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ.
One of only nineteen examples known of this Friedberg number, and while one census indicates twenty examples are known, our research indicates an error in the reporting of a serial number that was gathered from our archive. To the best of our knowledge, this piece is tied for third finest example known, and is not far from first place. The finest known note is Extremely Fine, with that PMG graded EF 45 EPQ example commanding $109,250 in 2007. The example offered here is wonderfully centered with flashy, bright ink color. The back has retained its full blazing orange, which is most unusual for circulated Gold Certificates of this era. A classic rarity both for design type and Friedberg number, and one of the few truly rare lightly circulated notes that is 100% free of damage, problems, or restorations of any kind. Certain to be the centerpiece of any collection it enters tonight.

13501

A considerably higher grade piece than its Choice Fine 15 Net grade would indicate, but there is some discoloration which is particularly noticeable on the reverse.

Fr. 1217 $500 1922 Gold Certificate PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ.
This wonderful $500 Gold Certificate is an old friend which CAA had sold before as part of the Cookson collection of Gold Certificates which we sold in January of 1999. It was offered there as a Choice About New with the following description: "This absolutely magnificent $500 Gold is the finest example of this type that we have ever seen. It lays considerable claim to the grade of Gem New. There are two parallel folds near the left end of the face clearly caused during production of the note. The outermost of the two folds is a printed gutter fold (no white area in the ink) that caused a tiny butterfly corner in the left margin of the note when it unfolded after the note was cut. The second fold, about 3/4" into the note, is precisely parallel to the first and clearly production-caused. Minus this minor error, the note is flawless. It's incredibly bright in both its inks and paper, and the surfaces are impeccably original with the full embossing effect clearly evident. About 40 pieces are known in total, with no uncirculated notes reported. There are five AU's: this note, the Grinnell note which has not been seen since 1945, the Jim Thompson note, one in government hands and an example which we sold in January of 1997 which realized $18,700. We fully expect this incredible example to do far better." Now, more than a decade later not much has changed. The census of "about 40" has gone up to 52...but there are still no uncirculated examples known. And the five best then are still the five best now. Two big changes have occurred, first, the value...which has way more than doubled. Ten and a half years ago this note realized $26,400 on an estimate of 25,000-up. Tonight, it will likely sell for about triple that. The second change is that the note is now encased in a sealed holder...either to protect it from collectors or to protect collectors from the note...this cataloger forgets which it is...but can't think of any other logical reason. Someone has written "Exceptional Paper Quality" and "Great Margins & Color" on a slip of paper that is also in the sealed holder...and they certainly are right. In any event, this is still right at the top of the census...with just one serious challenger.

13503

Fr. 1225h $10000 1900 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 25.
The deputy assistant treasurer's signature is still fully legible on this deeply printed $10000 Gold Certificate. Though the golden yellow overprint is still vibrant, the seal is a bit faded, which is noted by PMG.

A handsome, well signed 1776 Sterling Issue Georgia that appears to us to grade a bit higher than the assigned 40 grade. It's very well margined. It also has a bold serial number, which is unusual for this denomination, as most of these lower denominated pieces carry no number.

14044

New York February 16, 1771 Counterfeit £10 PMG Choice Fine 15 Net.
This note retains nice detail and it is hardly disturbed by a couple of nice repairs along the center fold. The counterfeit diagnostics as listed in Newman are, the "k" of York tilts to the left, the top of the "S" in "POUNDS" rises 30 degrees to the left and the left ball in the bottom border is not centered under the vertical CCs.

14045

New York March 5, 1776 $5 PMG About Uncirculated 50 Net.
Stain repairs were mentioned by PMG as the reason for the net grade, however they are barely visible. The Newman reference prices these notes at $1,250 in EF.

14046

14050

North Carolina April 23, 1761 20s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35.
All four signatures remain visible on this attractive example that has been endorsed. The apparent grade is due to a repaired edge tear at top left of center according to PCGS.

14051

North Carolina December, 1768 5s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20.
This example has been reconstructed along a previously sewn central split as mentioned by PCGS, leaving pinholes where the thread had been. Nonetheless, this is a great-looking example of a significant rarity.

14052

North Carolina December, 1771 10s PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
Four bold signatures and a well defined ship vignette add to the eye appeal of this lovely piece.

14053

North Carolina April 2, 1776 $6 Goat PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30.
This is the variety with the Goat vignette. It's cut tightly at the top, and it has been repaired along a central split, but it's still a presentable example of this popular issue. PCGS has commented "Repaired splits and tears; edges reinforced" but the note has a far finer appearance than the comments imply.

14054

North Carolina August 8, 1778 $5 PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ.
A lovely note from a series with particularly patriotic mottoes in English, with this one bearing the "Behold! A new World" motto. This example is well signed, rather nicely margined and displays nice eye appeal.

14055

North Carolina May 15, 1779 $10 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40.
The variety with the motto, "Virtue Excels Riches," this note faces up well. Edge tears and tape repairs on the back were listed by PCGS as the reasons for the apparent grade.

14056

North Carolina May 15, 1779 $25 PCGS Apparent About New 50.
The variety bearing the motto, "A free Commerce." This nice About New has a repaired edge split at the top center which accounts for the apparent grade.

14057

Pennsylvania April 25, 1759 20s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30.
Despite some minor edge splits at the center fold, the paper is wholesome for this earlier issue Pennsylvania note. The splits are noted by the grading service and part of the grade. In late 2009, a problem free VF example of this denomination sold for a little more than $700.

14058

Pennsylvania March 10, 1769 9d PMG Choice Fine 15.
Thomas Say was the signer of this nine pence example of Bettering House money. The four lowest denominations for this issue are scarce, including the nine pence denomination.

14059

Well printed on both sides, this note displays decent margins. "Light House, Piers and Buoys" is seen within the columns on the face.

14060

Pennsylvania March 20, 1773 6s PMG Choice About Unc 58.

14062

14063

These bills were authorized in part as a means of supporting the Army. The chevron design on the back displays good detail and the PENSYL/VANIA watermark is very clear when the note is candled.

14064

Pennsylvania March 16, 1785 15s PMG Choice Fine 15.
The final Pennsylvania issue is a scarce issue for all denominations as Newman prices all of them in VG at $500 each, at $800 in Fine, and at $1250 in VF.

14076

Virginia March 1, 1781 $80 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40.
PCGS has mentioned "Edge Tears and Repairs" which is indeed correct. But this well signed, well margined note is certainly above average in both grade and appearance for this issue. This is the variety on the thicker paper.

Sans the small edge tear on the top border, this is an attractive note for the grade. PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35.

14226

T18 $20 1861 With February 1864 Trans-Mississippi Stamp.
A bright and well signed $20 with full signatures and a Trans-Mississippi Stamp dated February 1864. Notes were reissued by act of the Confederate Congress and were stamped for use west of the Mississippi River, which by this time was controlled by the Union Army therefore making it difficult for the Confederacy to transport "new" currency across the area. PMG Very Fine 20.

14227

T20 $20 1861 with February 1864 Trans-Mississippi Stamp.
A fully signed and issued note that is just lightly circulated. The Trans-Mississippi Stamp on this note is the more common February date, though is highly sought after by collectors. PMG About Uncirculated 53.

14228

14231

T39 PF-2 $100 1862.
A bogus drab green "One Hundred Dollars" ray and bar back is found on this Crisp Uncirculated $100. Bogus backs are also known as printed backs. These were printed likely in the early 1880's during a boom period of interest in Confederate paper money where new varieties were created to sell to unsuspecting collectors. The Interest Paid stamps are real with the bogus back printed over them.

14232

T39 PF-9 $100 1862.
This Very Fine C-note has a bogus "Confederate States One Hundred Dollars Of America" green squiggly line back. The two Interest Paid stamps are real with the bogus back printed over them. T39's with bogus backs were popular enough in the early Twentieth Century to warrant single lot status in auctions, while many Confederate notes would be group lotted. See the Henry Chapman auction of June 19-20, 1908 page 36, lot 534.

14233

14235

T41 PF-7 $100 1862.
This Extremely Fine+ $100 has a bogus "Confederate States One Hundred Dollars Of America" green squiggly line back. The interest statements are also not authentic.

14237

CT65/491 "Havana" Counterfeit $100 1864.
This is a very nice example of this famous counterfeit that has plate letter D, written signatures, machine printed six-digit serial numbers, no space between standing soldier's body and elbow, smaller dimensions than a genuine note, and the back is a lighter shade of blue than that of a genuine note. PMG About Uncirculated 55.

This short-lived bank was established in 1865 and failed in 1879, dogged by reports of corruption by its officers. It's failure was so complete that the bank's notes were redeemed at only 57.5 cents on the dollar, even after assessing its shareholders the full double liability they were responsible for under the law. The Charlton catalogue also relates that notes of this bank are uncommon in all grades. Good-Very Good with a blue "A" within a circle overprint.
