Colonial Notes
Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $8 PCGS Very Fine 25. The margins and inks remain very attractive on this $8 Continental. The 13-strings of varying lengths on the harp emblem represent the 13 Colonies. MAJORA MINORIBUS CONSONANT translates as the large colonies and the small colonies are in harmony. The signers are Sam Sellers and T. Leech. The nature print on the back is of henebit and two buttercups.
Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $60 Blue Counterfeit Detector PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. This is singlehandedly the nicest example of this blue counterfeit detector that we have had the pleasure to offer and it is very easy to see why PMG graded this so high. The margins are excellent with good centering, bold printing and lovely paper surfaces. The only other certified gem we sold was for $1,610 over a year ago and in the intervening time we have sold a couple of 64 EPQ examples for around $800 each. That should make for some fireworks once the hammer falls on this condition census note.
Delaware January 1, 1776 5s Choice New. This note looks like it came off the Colonial press earlier today and that includes the pre-printing paper crinkle in the upper right corner. The serial number and signatures remain bold although the signature in red ink has faded slightly. Signers were McKinly, Collins, and Manlove. James Adams engraved the cuts and printed the notes. Adams worked in Philadelphia for Benjamin Franklin previously.
Georgia May 4, 1778 $30 PMG Choice Very Fine 35. This bright note with nice margins also has bold signatures. One of the signers, William Few, was to become a signer of the United States Constitution in 1787. The lower two-thirds of the boar vignette is strong, but it is weak at the upper right. The phrase on the back, AUT MORS, AUT VICTORIA LAETA, means either death or victory is pleasing. PMG has included a notation concerning tears. Those edge splits are minor and do not reach the design. The overall quality of the note is high.
Maryland August 14, 1776 $2/3 Fine. The serial number and signatures remain dark on this example.
Maryland August 14, 1776 $1 1/3 Very Good. Very few of these notes have been offered by us over the years. As frequently seen with many Colonials, this example has a strong center fold. There is also a small stain and the edges are rounded.
Massachusetts October 18, 1776 3s Good. This rare note has a central hole plus a smaller hole and an edge notch. It also has been backed. This is the only note we have been able to offer of this number.
Massachusetts May 5, 1780 $2 PMG Very Fine 25 Net. A pleasing example of a hole cancelled Massachusetts note that has a "Tape Repair" on the back.
Massachusetts May 5, 1780 $3 Fine. This is a scarce uncancelled example from this issue that is usually found cancelled. Several edge tears are noticed with the two longest being approximately a quarter inch in length.
Massachusetts May 5, 1780 $4 PMG Very Fine 30. A well margined and pleasing hole cancelled Massachusetts note that has good eye appeal for the grade.
Massachusetts May 5, 1780 $8 PMG Very Fine 25. Yet another hole cancelled Massachusetts note that is evenly circulated, well margined and problem free.
New Jersey June 14, 1757 30s PMG Good 6 Net. Only 1000 of these 30 shillings notes were printed by James Parker. The back contains an image of a sage leaf. PMG has included a notation on the holder concerning splits.
New Jersey May 1, 1758 £6 Very Good. This note is free of the repairs that are normally seen on these early New Jersey issues. Only 1834 examples of this £6 note were printed. Rounded corners and a few small edge tears are noticed with some loss of printing detail, but nothing unusual at this grade level. The print on the back is a sage leaf.
New Jersey December 31, 1763 18d PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. A nicely preserved eighteen pence note, this example has plate letter "A." The signatures of Johnston and two of the Smith signers remain bold. These notes were printed by James Parker and they were the first New Jersey notes printed on paper containing mica flakes.
New Jersey March 25, 1776 18d PCGS Very Fine 25. This is a nice example for the grade with dark color and three gargantuan margins. This note has plate letter "A."
New Jersey March 25, 1776 18d Very Good. An eighteen pence note with plate letter "C" and numbered 13319, this example was signed by Johnston, Deare, and Stevens. The bottom corners are missing and there are internal tears.
New York March 5, 1776 $1/6 Very Fine. A stork vignette adorns the back of this note along with the phrase NE IMPROVISO, meaning not unexpectedly. This note has some rounded corners and a small fold split at top center on otherwise well inked surfaces.
New York March 5, 1776 $1/4 Choice New. An absolutely gorgeous example of this fractional denomination New York note that has bold signatures, superb print quality and exceptionally bright paper. A very well margined and well centered example that should find a happy new home in an advanced collection.
North Carolina March 9, 1754 30s Very Fine, Repaired. Sewn to a backing with hand spun Colonial thread, that backing is now covered with endorsements. The upper right corner of the note is missing, but every word of the text is clear as are all four signatures. The house vignette is bold and perfect.
North Carolina April 23, 1761 2s/6d Good-Very Good. This scarce note with a printing of only 3000 has been backed with contemporary materials, while the edges show wear. James Davis printed this issue from set type.
North Carolina April 23, 1761 20s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30. The paper remains bright and the printing bold on this North Carolina Colonial. The signatures have faded somewhat, but can still be seen. An endorsement is observed on the back. Only 6506 of these notes were printed. PCGS red-holdered this note due to a repaired central split.
North Carolina December, 1771 10s PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. A very well margined and wonderfully centered example of this available North Carolina issue. Four bold signatures, well defined ship vignette and crackerjack embossing are all seen on this beautiful piece of colonial history. The last time this cataloger had the pleasure of cataloging a gem 1771 example from this series it realized $862.50.
North Carolina December, 1771 10s PCGS Very Fine 25. A nice ship vignette appears on this ten shillings note. The signatures are all visible although two have faded to a degree. Endorsements are observed on the back.
Pennsylvania April 3, 1772 2s About New. A lovely example of this somewhat tougher issue which has been blessed with bold signatures and serial number as well as balanced margins.
Pennsylvania October 1, 1773 20s Extremely Fine-About New. These black and red notes were printed by Hall & Sellers on paper with mica flakes and blue fibers. This example is numbered 36 and retains bold signatures. Several small pinholes are observed.
Rhode Island May 1786 6s PCGS Very Fine 25. These notes were printed by Southwick and Barber on bluish paper and cream paper. This example is on the cream paper. Some paper loss is visible on the wide upper right margin.
Virginia July 14, 1780 $80 Fine-Very Fine. These notes were printed on very thin paper by Dixon and Nicholson. The lower border text was printed upside down on the $80 denomination. There is some paper loss at the margins and internally on this example. Ink erosion is also visible and two hinges are observed on the back.
Virginia October 16, 1780 $200 Very Fine. These notes were printed on very thin paper. Repairs are found on the back of this bright example that has a few small apertures. A pencilled price from long ago is also noticed.
Fractional Currency
Fr. 1228 5c First Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A lovely example of this first issue perforated type note that has three huge margins and superb color.
Fr. 1230 5c First Issue Vertical Pair PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A lovely vertical pair of notes whose value individually would be around $300.
Fr. 1231SP 5c First Issue Wide Margin Back PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A lovely wide margin back specimen that has superb print quality and great color. No doubt this would be a screaming gem if the centering were a little better.
Fr. 1241 10c First Issue PMG Choice About Unc 58. The color remains bold on this nicely perforated example. PMG has included the notation hinged on the holder.
Fr. 1243 10c First Issue PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. This handsome note has bold color and is fully framed. Fr. 1243s are at least 35 times scarcer than Fr. 1242s.
Fr. 1280 25c First Issue PMG About Uncirculated 50. A very lightly handled example of this scarce straight edge no monogram Friedberg number.
Fr. 1281 25c First Issue Extremely Fine. This is a nicely margined example with light folds.
Fr. 1312 50c First Issue PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. The engraving on this note is of five contemporary 10 cent stamps. This Fractional has great color and ample margins.
Fr. 1232 5¢ Second Issue Very Good.
Fr. 1258 10¢ Fourth Issue Fine.
Fr. 1265 10¢ Fifth Issue Extremely Fine.
Fr. 1283 25¢ Second Issue Fine. The Fr. 1232 has a number of tears. The Fr. 1265 is a lovely Long Key Meredith. It has a few light folds and some wear at the corners. The bronzing has oxidized on both the Fr. 1232 and Fr. 1283 examples. There will be no returns on this lot for any reason.
Fr. 1258 10¢ Fourth Issue Fine.
Fr. 1265 10¢ Fifth Issue Extremely Fine.
Fr. 1283 25¢ Second Issue Fine. The Fr. 1232 has a number of tears. The Fr. 1265 is a lovely Long Key Meredith. It has a few light folds and some wear at the corners. The bronzing has oxidized on both the Fr. 1232 and Fr. 1283 examples. There will be no returns on this lot for any reason.
Fr. 1233 5c Second Issue Extremely Fine. The right-hand margin has toned a shade.
Fr. 1244 10c Second Issue Very Choice New. This is a lovely example of this second issue type. This note has bright bronzing and excellent margins.
Fr. 1283 25c Second Issue Experimental PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. A lovely experimental note with broad margins, superb centering and exceptional paper quality. The typical two half moon cancellations and "SPECIMEN" stamp are seen on this lovely experimental that could have easily landed in a higher grade holder.
Fr. 1289 25c Second Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55. A very lightly circulated example of this scarce fiber paper type that has great color, bright bronzing and excellent eye appeal.
Fr. 1290 25c Second Issue PMG About Uncirculated 53 EPQ. A very lightly circulated example of this challenging fiber paper number whose only fault is a tight right margin.
Fr. 1316 50c Second Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A particularly scarce variety that is far more difficult to obtain than its Fr. 1317-1318 typemates. This lovely note has bold "18-63" surcharges, fiery red back, and brilliant bronzing along with perfectly centered overprint. If the centering left to right were a little better we have no doubt the gem grade would be in order. We don't often encounter these in this grade. The last couple 63PPQ examples realized over $500 and gems sell for four figure prices so a good estimate is right in the middle.
Fr. 1322 50c Second Issue PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ. Bold surcharges are seen on this lightly handled fiber paper note which has been blessed with spectacular margins and great centering.
Fr. 1226 3c Third Issue Extremely Fine. This is an attractive example of the light background variety. There is a small tear at the top margin.
Fr. 1227 3c Third Issue New. There are no folds, but a light spot is noticed.
Fr. 1238 5c Third Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. This attractive Green Back Clark has back plate number 10 visible. After Spencer Clark, the Superintendent of the National Currency Bureau under Abraham Lincoln, used his own portrait on these notes Congress banned the use of portraits of living persons on bank notes.
Fr. 1238 5c Third Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A superb example for the grade that could have just as easily realized a higher grade. This green back Clark note has three enormous margins which leaves the left a tad too narrow. Deep embossing and radiant ink colors highlight majestic paper surfaces. You can fully expect this to realize a banner price for the assigned grade.
Fr. 1252 10c Third Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. A trace of handling is found on this much scarcer "a" on face red back that has deep embossing and exceptional paper surfaces.
Fr. 1255 10c Third Issue PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. A beautiful example of this more available green back type that has good margins, great color and embossing deep enough to swim in.
Fr. 1256 10c Third Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Superb paper surfaces are seen on this scarcer "1" on face green back that has great bronzing and cavernous embossing.
Fr. 1292 25c Third Issue PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. This is one of the highest graded examples of this much scarcer "a" on face variety that you are likely to encounter for a long time. Always notorious as a difficult type to find in the gem grade as the Fr. 1291 red back type note usually sells for over $600 when they appear at auction. This number is far scarcer to locate in this grade and is certainly worthy of a healthy premium over that. Deep embossing and blinding bronzing have certainly given this note the well deserved "Exceptional Paper Quality" designation.
Fr. 1294 25c Third Issue PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. While this is certainly not rare as a type, the green back Fessenden is not seen in the gem grades very often. Superb eye appeal and exceptional paper surfaces are found on this beauty that should easily meet or exceed our conservative estimate.
Fr. 1324 50c Third Issue Spinner PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. This is a very attractive example of this high grade Spinner red back type. Magnificent bronzing, bold printing and cavernous embossing all lend credence to the grade. The last example that we sold in this grade was almost a year ago and we just sold a PMG 65 EPQ for about $550. With green sheet bid being $585 in Gem 65 and $1,050 in Superb Gem 67 we would expect a note of this caliber to fall in line somewhere in the middle.
Fr. 1328 50c Third Issue Spinner PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A very high grade example of this hand-signed Colby-Spinner red back. We do not come across as many gems as you would think for this type so nice 64 EPQ notes are usually a good find. The last couple that we have sold have gone for well over $400 and we would expect more of the same.
Fr. 1334 50c Third Issue Spinner PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. In terms of paper quality this is about as lovely a Spinner note as one could hope to obtain. There are three huge margins, bottomless embossing, bright bronzing and superb color. Everything about the paper is exceptional from top to bottom. This is a much scarcer number with "a" on the face and the last few examples we have had in this grade have realized over $400 each.
Fr. 1342 50c Third Issue Spinner Type II PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. We only average one or two gems a year of this Type II Spinner with "a" on the face and they always realize well over $1,000 even in the 65 grade. This deeply embossed and brightly bronzed note should realize every last bit of four figure money and then some as ravenous collectors vie to obtain this treasure.
Fr. 1355 50c Third Issue Justice PMG Uncirculated 62 Net. PMG notes major internal tear on the holder on this uncirculated, scarce Justice example. However, the majority of the tear can be seen along the right perimeter of the "0" in "50" on the back. It is not uncommon to see areas of ink erosion at the bronzing on Fractionals.
Fr. 1257 10c Fourth Issue PMG Gem Uncirculated 65. A wonderful example of this fourth issue type that has huge margins, great centering and robust paper surfaces.
Fr. 1267 15c Fourth Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ. A boldly watermarked example of this single denomination type that has a couple of gigantic margins and a couple smaller ones which accounts for the grade.
Fr. 1301 25c Fourth Issue PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. Bright paper and vibrant inks give this Washington note excellent eye appeal for the grade.
Fr. 1376 50c Fourth Issue Stanton PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. Three enormous margins and a bold blue swath of color are found on this very lightly handled Stanton note.
Fr. 1376 50c Fourth Issue Stanton PMG Very Fine 25. A very well margined and evenly circulated Stanton note that should be well received by the collecting community.
Fr. 1264 10c Fifth Issue PCGS Very Choice New 64. This is a lovely example of the popular Green Seal Meredith. The faces for these notes were printed at the BEP, but the backs were printed by the Columbian Bank Note Co. of Washington, D.C.
Fr. 1308 25c Fifth Issue PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. A lovely long key Walker that really looks like it could have just as easily landed in a 66 EPQ holder. Excellent margins, good centering and bright paper all give this note the eye appeal associated with the gem grade.
Fr. 1381 50c Fifth Issue PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. A lovely example of the Crawford type which looks like a near gem through the holder as we cannot account for the grade.
Fr. 1381 50c Fifth Issue Very Good. This "Bob Hope" Fractional has nice margins.

Series 521 $1 PCGS Choice New 63PPQ. The engraving of Liberty on the face was done by G.F.C. Smillie while the back was engraved by John Eissler. The brown, red orange, and aqua colors used for the face add to the appeal of this $1 MPC from the first printing.

This replacement is from the first printing. It has the folds of a higher grade, but it does have some minor soiling and a few pinholes.
Korean MPC Coupon Series 2 (702) $1 with "SAMPLE" Overprint Schwan 975x3 Gem New. This "SAMPLE" coupon has extra selvedge because it held a sheet corner position. A tiny spot is observed near the center of the face.
Thai MPC Coupon Series 3 $1 Schwan 1025p Gem New. Thai Series 3 coupons that were issued ($1, $5, and $10 denominations only- the $20s were not issued) carry serial numbers. This $1 coupon is a remainder as it does not have a serial number. With the addition of serial numbers on the three denominations for this series, it is possible to keep track of these interesting pieces of history. There are only 16 issued $1 coupons in the Schwan census.
Thai MPC Coupon Series 2 10¢ Schwan 1011 Very Fine-Extremely Fine. Series 2 was current from April or May 1970 to perhaps October 7, 1970 when the United States MPC Series 681 was withdrawn. The same design is used on both sides for Series 2. This Thai nickel coupon has a pair of center folds and edge blemishes down the right-hand edge. Paper scrapes are also found on the face and back of this scarce item.

Fr. 248 $2 1896 Silver Certificate PMG Fine 12. This $2 Silver is the second of the famed Educational Series notes.

The portraits on the back are of Robert Fulton (1765-1815) and Samuel F.B. Morse (1791-1872). The design elements remain clear on this example.

Fr. 352 $1 1891 Treasury Note PMG Fine 12. This was the final $1 Coin Note Friedberg number. The Series 1891 Treasury Notes all come from the B-* block, where the "*" does not represent a replacement note, but a printer's embellishment mark to signify the end of the serial number.

Fr. 851a $5 1914 Federal Reserve Note Very Fine+. This is one of the nicest examples for the grade that you will find of this FRN type. Bright paper, huge margins and bright inks all make this a spectacular note. A very high serial number B99968303B might be of interest.

Fr. 866 $5 1914 Federal Reserve Note PCGS Choice About New 55. There are less than 50 serial numbers in the census for this Friedberg number. This note is on the cusp of the top ten grade-wise for this Friedberg number. Natural paper wave is seen near the top margin.

Fr. 922 $10 1914 Federal Reserve Note Very Good-Fine. This is a better Friedberg number for Richmond $10s.
Fr. 928 $10 1914 Federal Reserve Note Very Good-Fine. This is a somewhat tougher number for the Chicago district. A few splits and light soiling which are typical for the grade are found on this example.
Fr. 931c $10 1914 Federal Reserve Note PMG Very Fine 20. This is by far the most elusive of the three varieties for this Friedberg number. The "c" variety is distinguished by the seals being moved closer to the portrait. The "c" variety is outnumbered by a three-to-one margin by the "b" variety, and by a five-to-one margin by the "a" variety. This example has nice margins.
Fr. 934 $10 1914 Federal Reserve Note PMG Very Good 10. This 1914 $10 St. Louis FRN displays even wear.
Fr. 962 $20 1914 Red Seal Federal Reserve Note PMG Good 6 Net. There are only 21 of these in the census, including this example, therefore making this WWI era note a real survivor.

Fr. 983a $20 1914 Federal Reserve Note Very Good-Fine. The body of this Richmond $20 faces up quite well but there is some damage in the left and right margins.
Fr. 1006 $20 1914 Federal Reserve Note PMG Very Good 10. Only 65 examples are enumerated in the Track & Price census for this elusive Dallas issue as of this writing. Two small corner tips are missing far away from the frame line on the right side.
Fr. 1025 $50 1914 Federal Reserve Note PMG Fine 12. Around 30 representatives of this issue have been reported to census takers. This example displays even wear.

Fr. 1089 $100 1914 Federal Reserve Note PMG Fine 12 Net. A great allegorical scene decorates this denomination. This back design was contemplated as a possible back design for all small size notes at the beginning stages of the small size redesign process in the 1910s. This example has the Burke-Glass signature combination. PMG has provided a Net grade for "Internal Repair".
Fr. 1171 $10 1907 Gold Certificate PMG Very Good 8. This is a tougher Friedberg number for this design with the Parker-Burke signature combination.
Fr. 1172 $10 1907 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 25. This is a bright and evenly circulated example of this series which is a bit scarcer than the more commonly seen 1922 series. Bold ink colors are seen on this $10 Gold.

Fr. 1173 $10 1922 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ. This $10 Gold received the EPQ designation from PMG. The colors remain bold on this example.

Fr. 1173a $10 1922 Gold Certificate Good. The Fr. 1173a's have lower serial numbers than the Fr. 1173's. This $10 Gold is of the small serial number persuasion that measures in at 4 millimeters. The large serial numbers measure in at 5 millimeters. The Fr. 1173a's are many times scarcer than the Fr. 1173's. This example has rough margins with some paper loss. There are several stains.
Fr. 1187 $20 1922 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 25. This $20 Gold retains great color. This would be a nice mid-grade example for a type collection.

Milwaukee, WI - $5 1929 Ty. 1 Sixth Wisconsin NB Ch. # 12628
This was the second title for the bank and these were the only small-size Nationals they issued. This is the first time we have been able to offer one of these notes in our auctions. This Fine example displays even wear. There is a line from a black marker on the back.

Sheboygan, WI - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The Security NB Ch. # 11150
While this bank opened its doors in 1918, it chose to only issue notes from the 1929 Series. Several tears are observed along the lower margin. Wallet staining is also noticed. Very Good.
