Colonial Notes
Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $5 PMG Extremely Fine 40 EPQ. Decent margins are observed on this lightly circulated Continental $5 that earned the EPQ designation from PMG. This well-printed note was signed by Luke Morris and Mordecai Lewis. The nature print on the back is quite attractive.
Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $4 PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A very well margined and well signed example of this early Continental emission that has fallen just short of the gem grade. This Boar Charging Spear vignette is one that is popular on Continental notes. The signatures of Coombe and Read remain boldly executed and the embossing is clearly punched through to the back.
Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $1/2 PCGS Choice About New 55. Plate letter C is seen on this well-printed, lightly handled note with the popular Franklin sundial rebus and linked Colonies devices. Later, the designs were used for the 1776 Continental Currency one dollar coin and the 1787 Fugio copper coin. Thomas Donnellan signed this example.
Continental Currency February 17, 1776 $2 Very Fine. This note faces up well with the handling mostly concentrated in the center fold. The emblem on this $2 note includes the Latin TRIBULATIO DITAT. The translation of that phrase is "affliction enriches." The nature print on the back contains an image of a raspberry leaf and two filbert leaves.
Continental Currency November 2, 1776 $2 PCGS Choice About New 55. Well-printed, this note is attractive on both sides. The emblem is a hand holding a flail. The motto, TRIBULATIO DITAT (affliction enriches), is clear and distinct. As Q. David Bowers states in the recently released Whitman Encyclopedia of U.S. Paper Money, "the allegory is that the American people, at war with England, are undergoing travails, but this can be beneficial in a way." The bold signatures of Joseph Gaither and Dennis Griffith are seen on this appealing $2.
Continental Currency February 26, 1777 $30 Extremely Fine. This is a pleasing example from this scarcer Baltimore issue. A small inked "99" is found in the back left margin.
Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $7 Very Fine-Extremely Fine. The nature print on the back is of grape and sage. These notes were printed by Hall & Sellers. There is some staining on this example.
Continental Currency September 26, 1778 $40 PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. Sizeable margins and solid centering are seen on this delightful gem Continental note. A plethora of original embossing is easily seen and the signatures and serial number are well executed. The Midnight Ride collection contained a host of gem Continentals with virtually all of them realizing between $2,000-$3,000 each for 65 and 66 graded notes. We would likely expect to see a similar realization here.
Continental Loan Office Bill of Exchange Fourth Bill- $36 Oct. 14, 1779 Anderson US-98/MD-4A. PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. A wonderful fourth bill of exchange that is signed by Francis Hopkinson, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Paid to Benjamin Harwood and countersigned by the State of Maryland this is a very high grade and lovely piece that should be well received by collectors of any area of colonial history.
Continental Loan Office Bill of Exchange Fourth Bill- $24 Sept. 18, 1779 Anderson US-96/MD-4A. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ. A lovely fourth bill of exchange on Maryland that has exceptional color and bold printing. This bill was also paid to Benjamin Harwood and dated September 18, 1779. Treasurer of Loans, Francis Hopkinson, signed this bill but he is far better known as a signer of the Declaration of Independence than he is as Treasurer of the Continental Loan Office.
Connecticut May 10, 1775 40s PCGS About New 53PPQ. This lovely 40 shillings note earned the PPQ designation from PCGS and embossing is observed. Timothy Green printed these notes in New London. Benjamin Payne, George Wyllys, and Elisha Williams were the signers of this example.
Connecticut June 7, 1776 15s Slash Cancel PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. This is a gorgeous example of this much scarcer higher denomination note that faces up like a beautiful gem. The margins are large and the paper is as white as the day it was printed. Bold signatures and serial number remain and the embossing is as boldly struck as is possible. There is a very difficult to detect corner fold at the upper right that keeps this beauty from a far higher grade. This is only the fourth example we have offered of the 15s denomination and that is saying something considering the number of colonials we have sold in the past decade.
Connecticut October 11, 1777 4d Slash Cancel Gem New. A wonderfully margined, perfectly centered and boldly signed example of this blue paper small change note that should find a happy new home in someone's collection.
Connecticut October 11, 1777 7d Uncanceled Printed on White Paper PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. Some of the largest sheet margins that you will ever find from this issue are seen on this note. Boldly signed and numbered this well printed small change note is a special gift. The combination of being uncanceled and printed on scarcer white paper really makes it quite a find for one lucky collector who will take it home tonight.
Connecticut Pay Table Office. July 11, 1784. About New. A well margined and wonderfully embossed Pay Table Office that is dated July 11, 1784 and is very attractive. A tiny hole is at center.
Connecticut Civil List. September 30, 1794. About New. A well margined, bright and wonderfully embossed Civil List dated September 30, 1794. Made out to John Jeffery and signed by Porter and Kingsbury.
Connecticut Interest Payment Certificate. January 7, 1792. Extremely Fine. A bright and very well embossed certificate "Issued for the Payment of Interest." Dated Jan 7, 1792 and signed by Comptroller Kingsbury this is a very fresh and attractive example with a cut cancel in the center. A couple of tiny edge splits are noticed.
Connecticut Interest Payment Certificate. February 28, 1792. Extremely Fine. A lovely certificate "Issued for the Payment of Interest." Dated February 28, 1792. Signed by Comptroller Kingsbury and made out to Timothy Bun this is a well embossed and attractive cut canceled certificate.
Connecticut Civil List. January 11, 1794. Extremely Fine. A hugely margined and wonderfully embossed Civil List which was signed by John Porter, Comptroller and Andrew Kingsbury, Treasurer.
Connecticut Treasury Office. June 1, 1782. Extremely Fine. An attractive hole canceled Treasury Office with typeset date of June 1, 1782 and signed by Treasurer John Lawrence. Numerous period endorsements are seen on the back and there is an edge tear from the bottom and a small split at center.
Connecticut Pay Table Office. September 23, 1784. Extremely Fine. Hugely margined, boldly embossed and extremely attractive this Pay Table Office should make a welcome addition to someone's fiscal paper collection. There is some splitting along the lateral fold.
Connecticut Treasury Office. June 1, 1782. Very Fine-Extremely Fine. A very attractive Treasury Office certificate that is signed by John Lawrence, Treasurer and dated June 1, 1782. A hole cancel is seen at left with a couple of small edge tears, a small split at center, as well as numerous period endorsements on the back.
Maryland 1733 1s/6d PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. A lovely example of this early Maryland note that is the only one readily available before the 1767 issue. There is a light fold along the back side of this well embossed note. These were unsigned and unnumbered and survived in sheet form which is where all of these notes come from. To the best of your cataloger's extensive knowledge in colonial currency there are no legitimate examples signed and numbered.
Maryland March 1, 1770 $1 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40. A lovely example of this scarcer 1770 Maryland issue that faces up wonderfully with great signatures and superb printing. PCGS has noted a small edge tear at top center which is barely noticeable through the holder. Also noted is minor damage on back which is detected only when the note is candled. Still, this is a delightful example that someone will treasure for its illustrious visual qualities.
Maryland April 10, 1774 $1/3 PCGS About New 50. An exceptional example of this lower fractional denomination note that is rarely found in this state of preservation. Fractional notes from these Maryland issues circulated freely through the channels of commerce and were not really saved for any reason. Rarely found in CU grade a nice AU is about as close as it gets for the aspiring collector.
Massachusetts June 18, 1776 1s Extremely Fine. This is only the second example of this very scarce denomination that we have offered in this decade. The center fold seems to have a touch of weakness but otherwise it is well margined with a modicum of light folds.
Massachusetts June 18, 1776 5s PCGS Very Fine 20. A very pleasing example of this June 1776 Massachusetts note that is very well margined and well signed. These have always been unpopular due to the coarse paper that they were printed on and lacking any type of vignette.
Massachusetts October 16, 1778 2d PMG Very Good 10. We haven't sold too many examples of this Codfish denomination in our sales. this particular note appears to be somewhat nicer than the assigned grade.
Massachusetts October 16, 1778 2s PCGS Very Fine 30. Paul Revere printed the faces of these notes and Thomas Fleet printed the backs, partially reusing the plates from the Oct. 18, 1776 issue. Jonathan Brown signed this 2 shillings piece. Only 8571 of these notes were printed and this example is numbered 7627.
Massachusetts 1781 $16 PMG Very Fine 30. Until about six years ago this denomination was unknown and therefore uncollectible. It is listed in Newman as currency and also in Anderson as fiscal paper. A very small group then appeared and the price was set at several thousand dollars for Extremely Fine examples. This note certainly has the fold count and eye appeal of an Extremely Fine note with great embossing and a small hole cancel. The last example we sold in this grade was a year ago for $1,600 and that seems light in terms of the rarity of this piece.
New Hampshire April 29, 1780 $3 PCGS Very Fine 25. A really nice and well margined example of this hole canceled New Hampshire issue that has three fold signatures and serial number as well as the look of at least half a grade higher. A well embossed and comment free note that has the look of an Extremely Fine example.
New Jersey June 22, 1756 1s PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 45. From the face this scarcer 1756 note looks like a gorgeous Uncirculated note. The signatures and serial number remain bold, the Coat of Arms is as well defined as most we have seen and three of the margins are complete. PCGS has noted an apparent grade due to mounting remnants which are seen on the back corners but this does little to affect the eye appeal of this note. Your cataloger has looked long and hard and is having a great deal of difficulty detecting any folds aside from the corner mounts.
New Jersey June 22, 1756 12s New. A well signed and boldly printed example of this more challenging issue that has a bold New Jersey Coat of Arms. If the top margin were not cut a little into the design we are quite certain a higher grade would be in order.
New Jersey April 10, 1759 £6 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20. A gorgeous example of this very scarce denomination that had a meager printing of only 1834. This note has retained boldly executed signatures and the state Coat of Arms is a delight to view in all of its detail. PCGS has noted that the upper right corner was replaced but it appears that instead of having a heavily rounded corner someone decided to fill it in a little and it really is not distracting. From the face this beautiful note has the look of an Extremely Fine example and is far, far nicer than the F15 we sold for $200 a few months ago.
New Jersey April 8, 1762 12s PCGS Apparent Very Good 10. A rare denomination that we have never had the chance to offer until a couple of months ago. Perhaps half a grade or better in technical merit but held back slightly due to a repaired center split as noted by the service. If you have been looking to compile a definitive collection of New Jersey notes then you will certainly need this note to fill an otherwise empty hole. The Midnight Ride collection contained many notes that are rarely seen otherwise and this is one such example.
New Jersey December 31, 1763 £3 Extremely Fine. A well embossed, boldly printed and generally lovely example of this rare denomination that has only graced our auctions on a couple of prior occasions. Some very light folds are seen as well some minor mounting remnants which are primarily confined to the back corners. This rare note faces up as a nice EF note and, its minor problems notwithstanding, will make a wonderful addition to someone's advanced colonial currency collection.
New Jersey February 20, 1776 6s Apparent PCGS Very Fine 30. A lovely example of this much scarcer February 1776 issue that has bold signatures and well defined New Jersey Coat of Arms. A note that faces up as Extremely Fine or better has been given an apparent grade due to some center splits at the top and bottom of the center fold. Otherwise this "Raid money" note is really quite pleasing and not easy to locate.
New York February 16, 1771 5s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30. We only average about one example of this denomination per year and this lovely note is far above average for the type. It is very well margined and well detailed with the "30" grade looking pretty accurate. A couple of comments from PCGS pertaining to the center fold splitting is very typical as likely 98% of all examples from this issue suffer from these problems.
New York March 5, 1776 $2/3 PCGS Choice About New 58. Through the third party holder this not appears to be an absolutely gorgeous gem example. The margins are huge, the centering perfect and the signatures bold. Except for some light natural paper wrinkling at the back side we cannot decipher any folds. A lovely note from this tougher August 1776 series that is sure to please its new owner.
North Carolina July 14, 1760 40s PCGS Apparent Very Good 10. Only 1000 of these notes were issued. The label reads repaired splits. These are contemporary repairs.
North Carolina April 23, 1761 20s PCGS Apparent Fine 15. Printer James Davis initially had a print shop on Pollock Street in New Bern and later moved to Broad Street. Splits tape repaired; edge damage at upper left is commented on by PCGS.
North Carolina December, 1768 40s PMG Very Fine 20 Net. The largest margins you will ever see are found on this note. Several bold signatures remain and the paper is fresh and bright. PMG has taken this Extremely Fine note and net graded it due to a restoration which is seen along the center fold. Otherwise, this wonderfully embossed note has a much higher technical grade.
North Carolina December, 1768 £3 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30. Nice margins, clear text, and visible signatures are characteristics of this example. These notes were printed by James Davis from type on thin paper. PCGS mentioned minor edge tears.
North Carolina December, 1771 2s/6d PCGS Apparent Fine 15. This is an example of the duck vignette variety. The label informs us of splits repaired. The repairs were nicely done resulting in no loss of wording and a note that faces up well.
North Carolina December, 1771 £3 PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. Dark signatures are observed on this Colonial with the bold Magna Carta vignette. Only 3000 of these notes were printed with this example bearing serial number 859. PCGS included a notation that concerns an edge tear, which is very small.
North Carolina May 10, 1780 $250 Very Fine-Extremely Fine. This is the variety with "T" in "This" boxed. Only 1000 of these notes were printed. The motto is QUAERENDA PECUNIA PRIMUM EST (money has to be sought first). James Davis was the printer. A well printed note with strong signatures and a fold count indicative of the Extremely Fine grade. Light edge glue residue can be seen on the sides and a touch along the top.
Pennsylvania May 1, 1760 £5 PMG Very Good 8 Net. A superb example for the grade of this Ben Franklin issue. Except for the center fold splits this note is very similar in appearance to the PCGS Apparent 20 that realized $1,000 in the Midnight Ride collection.
Pennsylvania March 20, 1771 15s PCGS About New 50. A very well margined example of this scarcer 1771 issue that has superb signatures, clearly printed text and exceptional eye appeal for the grade. A lightly handled example that has the allure of a note of a much higher grade. This has always been an underappreciated issue which only the true colonial specialist understands.
Pennsylvania April 3, 1772 1s Very Fine, Damaged. There are some scuffed areas as well as moderate stains on the back.
Pennsylvania October 1, 1773 10s PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. Signed by Barnaby Barnes, Benjamin Morgan, and William Fisher, Jr., this lightly handled ten shillings note has plenty of eye appeal and earned the EPQ designation from PMG.
Pennsylvania October 1, 1773 15s Very Fine. Strong signatures, particularly for a Very Fine note.
Pennsylvania April 25, 1776 4d PMG About Uncirculated 55. A crisp and crackling fresh small change note that has good margins for this type with some light handling visible through the TPG holder.
Pennsylvania April 25, 1776 6d PMG About Uncirculated 55. A superb example for the grade as this small change note sure appears to be a wonderful uncirculated note with excellent margins. Bold signature and serial number remain and fully punched through embossing is easily noted through the holder. Truly a wonder AU note no matter how you slice it.
Pennsylvania April 25, 1776 1s PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ. Incredible margins and utter originality are seen throughout this lovely April 1776 note. This is one of the loveliest AU notes your cataloger has seen in a long time and we would be surprised if it didn't realize a much heftier price than a typical AU.
Pennsylvania April 25, 1776 18d PCGS About New 53. Absolutely gigantic margins are seen on this desirable note that is well signed, boldly printed with just the faintest horizontal center fold. Notes with this aesthetic beauty never sell for typical AU money and this one won't either.
Pennsylvania April 10, 1777 4s Red and Black PMG Fine 12. A problem free and very attractive example of this much scarcer Red and Black variety note that certainly has the look of a Very Fine note. Well signed and well printed, this lovely note should be well received by the collecting community.
Pennsylvania April 10, 1777 6s PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. This all black printed note looks like a screaming gem through the holder. Two bold signatures, exceptional print quality, even margins and wonderful eye appeal all lead to the fact that this is a desirable note. There appears to be a razor thin off center fold that accounts for the grade and which precludes this from being a four figure note. As it is, your cataloger is quite certain that this will sell for far more than a typical AU example.
Bank of North America Philadelphia, PA August 6, 1789 $1/90 PCGS Apparent Choice New 63. A screaming gem example of this always desirable Bank of North America note that is broadly margined, fresh and highly desirable. Due to some mounting stains on the back this note has been net graded which likely keeps it from being a four figure note, but not that far off.
Cohen Reprint Rhode Island August 22, 1738 2s/6d New
Cohen Reprint Rhode Island August 22, 1738 10s About New. These are Cohen reprints from the 1850s which were produced from the original plates and therefore they do not have signatures or serial numbers. In the 21st Century we have offered only one genuine note from the entire 1738 Rhode Island issue and that VF backed 7s/6d note brought $8625 in April 2006. It should be also pointed out that the Ford Collection only had the reprints for representation. In fact, we have not handled many reprints either. A little bit of adhesive residue is noticed on both of these examples.

A little bit of adhesive residue is noticed on both of these examples.
Rhode Island May 1786 5s PMG About Uncirculated 55. A lovely Rhode Island note from this final issue that has some light corner rubbing. But for that fact this well signed and wonderfully embossed note would grade as a gem.
South Carolina April 10, 1778 10s PCGS Apparent Choice About New 58. A seemingly uncirculated example of this more available South Carolina issue that is wonderfully margined, boldly signed and numbered with deep embossing throughout. There is a faint fold at the far left end which keeps this note from grading New although PCGS has noted some minor staining at the right edge. AU examples from this issue typically sell for $400-$500.
Virginia September 1, 1775 20s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30. Simply a gorgeous James River Bank Form in terms of eye appeal with the look of a fully Extremely Fine note. This example is well signed with plenty of embossing visible from the back. The paper is bright and fresh and the ship vignette boldly detailed. PCGS has noted multiple restorations which are minor but for the design being redrawn at the right end. All in all, if this was a problem free piece it would easily reach the four figure mark. As it lays it should come close.
Virginia October 7, 1776 $1 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25. A lovely example of this first whole dollar denomination note from this popular issue. Sizeable margins and perfect centering give this impressive note good eye appeal. PCGS notes there is a repaired tear at the bottom center as well as mounting remnants but they are really only visible from the blank back and do little to affect the value of this note.
Virginia May 5, 1777 $1/6 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25. An abundantly margined and well centered example of this fractional denomination note that would be a perfect Very Fine example but for a small repaired center fold split. All of the 1776 and 1777 Virginia issues are underrated and underappreciated as a general rule by the collecting community as they are sort of bland in appearance and were printed on thicker paper.
Virginia October 20, 1777 $8 PMG Very Fine 30. Through the third party holder this deeply printed example sure looks like it was a viable candidate for the Extremely Fine grade. Collector colonial notes with this type of eye appeal are always highly sought after by collectors that was sharply printed notes that are free of problems.
Virginia May 1, 1780 $7 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 45. This is a really nice example of the Virginia Guarantee issue with the mentioned problem hardly worthy of mention as your cataloger can barely ascertain where the edge split is located. Otherwise, this is a well signed, fresh and well printed example of the Virginia Guarantee series that should find a happy new home in someone's collection as it has all the attributes of an About New note.
Virginia July 14, 1780 $13 1/3 PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ. A lovely example of a very scarce denomination. We have three examples of this denomination in our Auction Archives but it is the same note offered each time over a two year period. This example is free of all the maladies such as tears, rips, holes, ink erosion, etc that seem to infect almost all of these thin rice paper notes. A truly special example that warrants consideration from the most serious of colonial currency collectors.
Virginia July 14, 1780 $55 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20. This is a much scarcer small denomination rice paper note that we have only offered four times in the past. The note is well margined, very well signed and is printed on bright paper. PCGS has noted some edge damage at top and edge splits but this is quite typical of these super thin paper notes and is generally not a major deterrent to one's collecting pursuits.
Virginia October 16, 1780 $300 PCGS Very Fine 35. An utterly problem free example of this October issue rice paper note that surely seems deserving of the PPQ modifier. The note is bright, well margined and wonderfully signed and is totally lacking the usual tears, pinholes, ink erosion, etc.
Virginia October 16, 1780 $400 PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ. A rarity indeed as this rice paper note is absolutely and positively problem free which has led to its being given the esteemed Premium Paper Quality designation. Very few rice paper notes have this honor bestowed upon them due to the fact that they are so thin and brittle that they almost always get torn, cracked, have ink erosion and other assorted problems. A real beauty that should draw a great deal of attention from prospective bidders.
Virginia March 1, 1781 $1000 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40. A very pleasing example of this highest denomination which is of the thick paper variety for this issue. In terms of technical grade and eye appeal this is one of the nicer examples we have sold of this more challenging denomination. PCGS mentions a repaired edge tear right of center which is seen from the top margin but it's none too disturbing. But for that this would have been a well embossed and problem free Extremely Fine note.
Virginia May 7, 1781 $70 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35. A rare denomination that we have only sold once before, and that was also part of the comprehensive Midnight Ride collection. This note is well signed with good embossing and bright paper but has been given the Apparent grade due to the center split being repaired. Otherwise it looks like it could have made a play at the full Extremely Fine grade.
Fractional Currency
Fr. 1228 5c First Issue Choice New. A very pleasing perforated first issue type note with two jumbo margins, an average bottom margin and a tight left margin. Good color and print quality will follow this note wherever it goes. It seems that nice Choice-Gem CU notes have been going in the $200-$300 range and we are not going to quibble with that assessment.
Fr. 1230 5c First Issue Choice New. A bright and colorful first issue type note that is only lacking in margin size to achieve a higher grade.

Fr. 1237 5c Third Issue Choice New. A very well embossed and colorful example of this well margined note. Red back Clark notes with the "a" on face are significantly scarcer than those without and are far less plentiful than their green back cousins. This note oozes originality.
Fr. 1238 5c Third Issue Choice New. A very well embossed and original green back Clark note that is only lacking in centering to reach a much higher grade.
Fr. 1251-4SP 10c Third Issue Wide Margin Back PMG Gem Uncirculated 66. Essentially a perfect and utterly flawless example of this red back fractional wide margin specimen. Bright bronzing, fire engine red inks and snow white paper all lend to the appeal of this beauty. The green sheet Ask is about $260 in Gem 65 and $460 in Superb Gem 67. The market value of this treasure likely lies somewhere in the middle.
Fr. 1324 50c Third Issue Spinner Very Choice New. Superb embossing and utter originality are seen on this lovely red back Spinner note. When Spinner note such as this one exhibit such blinding bronzing and fire engine red ink colors they are really a treat to behold. Only the bottom margins straying a touch too close at the left keeps the gem grade out of reach.
Fr. 1339 50c Third Issue Spinner Type II Gem New. Broad margins, perfect centering of both front and back and luminous bronzing all lead one to the conclusion that this Type II Spinner is a screaming gem note. High grade fractionals are showing signs of renewed demand in the marketplace.
Fr. 1258 10c Fourth Issue Very Choice New. Three of the four margins on this note scream out to the superb gem grade but the left face margin and lower back centering keep the gem grade out of reach. This is the much scarcer no watermark variety that should draw attention to this lovely piece.
Fr. 1261 10c Fourth Issue PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. This is a lovely Fractional note that has a small gutter just to the left of bottom center.
Fr. 1267 15c Fourth Issue Choice New. A lightly watermarked example of this single denomination type whose bottom and right margins restrict access to the gem grade.
Fr. 1267 15c Fourth Issue About New. A single center fold keeps this note from gem.
Fr. 1301 25c Fourth Issue PMG Extremely Fine 40. Ample margins surround this attractive Fractional.
Fr. 1302 25c Fourth Issue Very Choice New. A much scarcer no watermark note that looks like a lovely gem but with the centering being a tad too low for our liking. The color on the seal is boldly impressed and the details on this note are outstanding.
Fr. 1302 25c Fourth Issue New. This is a nicely preserved example with a hint of handling at lower right.
Fr. 1303 25c Fourth Issue Choice New. A lovely example of this larger treasury seal Washington note with blue right end. A pleasing and very attractive note that only requires a broader top margins for a higher grade.
Fr. 1376 50¢ Fourth Issue Stanton Very Fine-Extremely Fine. A handsome Stanton note, with better than normal margins.
Fr. 1264 10c Fifth Issue Very Choice New. A broadly margined example of this scarcer green seal Meredith note that looks to be so close to the gem grade. We have not seen too many examples in this grade recently which should make this note rather well received.
Fr. 1266 10c Fifth Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. This Fractional with original paper surfaces has excellent color.
Fr. 1266 10c Fifth Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55. Four ample margins surround this Fractional.

Atlanta was the only district that produced star notes for regular issue use. The New York and Chicago stars were printed in sheet form only. Surprisingly we have never had the opportunity to sell an Atlanta star from this issue, either as a group or individually. They list for $50 each in the updated Schwartz-Lindquist tome but who is to know what their true value is since we have never seen any. A few of the notes in this pack have a lower corner bump but an overwhelming majority are broadly margined, wonderfully centered, deeply embossed and crackling fresh. We hesitate to make such a claim but this is the type of grouping that could easily find its way to one of the services after it is sold here.

Fr. 2051-J $20 1928A Federal Reserve Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.
This delightful $20 comes from by far the scarcest district for the 1928A Series as only about 1% of the $20s for this series were printed for the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. The 1928A Series was the last series for $5s, $10s, and $20s with the district number instead of the letter in the district seal. The main reason for the change was because of notes like this one, where the district seal contains a "10" and thus sometimes people would mistake a KC $20 for a $10. This same note realized $460 back in May and, as most major market participants would agree, the market has strengthened significantly in the past six months.
