Colonial Notes
Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $8 PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ. This May 1775 issue is much scarcer across the board even for more available denominations such as this one. Just on the cusp of the full Extremely Fine grade it should prove to be a popular note with the student of colonial history.
Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $30 PMG About Uncirculated 50 Net. A well signed and boldly printed example of this high denomination Continental note that has good print quality and a moderately repaired upper right corner.
Continental Currency November 29, 1775 $4 PMG About Uncirculated 55. The emblem of a boar charging a spear displays great detail on this well-printed and nicely margined $4 note. Isaac Howell and Robert Roberts, Jr. were the signers of this attractive example.
Continental Currency July 22, 1776 $2 PCGS Very Fine 30. Moderately circulated, this $2 Continental retains plenty of appeal. Great detail is observed in the emblem. Joseph Redman and Samuel Sellers signed this note.
Continental Currency January 14, 1779 $50 PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ. A lovely example of this higher denomination note that has unfathomably deep embossing, great color and boldly executed signatures. Why this note is not About new is anybody's guess.
Connecticut May 10, 1770 20s PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40. Collectors of this important material will realize this is an opportunity not to be missed. We have been able to offer very few of these scarce notes in our auctions over the years. This well-printed note is a much rarer early Connecticut issue, and the earliest of the Connecticut issues to be priced in Newman, although prices are listed only for the two lowest denominations of the five that were part of this issue. These 20s notes are not priced in Newman in any grade. The note is slash canceled, as is almost always the case and a small missing piece at the slash accounts for the apparent grade along with edge tears.
Connecticut January 2, 1775 10s Slash Cancel PMG About Uncirculated 50. A superbly embossed and utterly original example of this far more desirable January issue.
Connecticut June 7, 1776 3s Slash Cancel PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. But for a faint bumping on one of the upper corners this gorgeous and well embossed Connecticut note would achieve the gem grade and then some.
Connecticut June 19, 1776 2s Uncancelled PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. A lovely example of this uncancelled Connecticut note that has bold signature and superior embossing. Why there is no EPQ designation for this note is anybody's guess as it certainly appears to have deserved it.
Connecticut June 19, 1776 5s Slash Cancel PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. PMG could not help themselves and added on the comment "Great Embossing" because that's just the description this cataloger would use.
Connecticut October 11, 1777 7d Slash Cancel PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A boldly signed and numbered small change note that has two huge margins, mountainous embossing and a slash cancel.
Delaware March 1, 1758 20s PMG Good 6 Net. An early date Ben Franklin note that has a tape repair noted but with the important "Printed by B. Franklin" legible.
Delaware May 1, 1777 4d PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. Three wide margins are observed on this well-printed note signed by Richard Lockwood. The sheaf of wheat vignette on the back displays great detail. These notes were printed by James Adams.
Georgia 1776 6d PMG Very Fine 30. A tougher denomination from this 1776 Sterling issue, this example is well-signed by William Gibbons and Nehemiah Wade. The note has two overly large margins and has remained 100% problem free.
Georgia 1777 $2 PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ. Well-signed, this scarce note has good eye appeal although the floating jugs emblem is light. PCGS assigned the PPQ designation to this lightly handled example and embossing is visible through the holder. The motto is SI COLLIDIMUS FRANGIMUR (if we collide we will break). The current edition of the Newman reference lists these notes in EF at $5000.
Maryland March 1, 1770 $1/9 with Full Left Indent PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25. This Maryland note has retained its signatures and crisp paper surfaces but, most importantly, has a full left indent. PCGS has noted a repaired edge and internal splits but they don't appear to be overly distracting.
Maryland March 1, 1770 $4 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20. A very nice example of this somewhat scarcer 1770 issue that has cardboard crisp paper and a split and a couple of tears.
Maryland December 7, 1775 $1/2 PMG Very Fine 20. A lovely example of this scarcer 1775 Maryland issue that is much cleaner in appearance than most notes from this issue. It should be noted that this lovely example has the eye appeal of a fully Extremely Fine note.
Massachusetts October 18, 1776 9d PMG Very Fine 25. The detail is particularly strong on the face of this attractive Codfish. Paul Revere printed the faces and John Gill printed the backs. The design on the back includes a cast cut of a pine tree. Gill was born in Charlestown, MA. Only 5143 of these notes were printed and this example is numbered 4817. Jonathan Hastings was the signer.
Massachusetts May 5, 1780 $8 Extremely Fine-About New. Thomas Walley signed the guaranty on this attractive note while Dawes and Cranch were the signers. Paper watermarked "UNITED STATES" was used for this issue. The red stamped "INTEREST PAID ONE YEAR" is observed on this example along with a hole cancel.
New Hampshire April 29, 1780 $20 PMG Choice Very Fine 35. The signatures of Ephraim Robinson, Joseph Pearson and James McClure are strong on the face as is the John Taylor Gilman signature on the back. Only 2900 of these notes were issued and this example is numbered 1487. The $20 was the highest denomination of the issue. This note has been hole cancelled as mentioned by PMG.
New Jersey 1786 3s PMG Very Good 10 Net. James Ewing, who served as an alternate, was a signer of this scarcer note along with Benjamin Smith. Plate letter B is observed. Restoration was cited by PMG as the reason for the net grade. The current Newman edition prices these notes at $1000 in VG.
New York September 2, 1775 $10 About New. A few pinholes and a single center fold that has been reinforced at the top.
North Carolina April 23, 1761 20s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20. All four signatures remain visible on this example. Numerous endorsements are seen on the back as is typical. Repaired edge splits were mentioned by PCGS as the reason for the apparent grade.
North Carolina December, 1768 £3 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35. Well-margined and well-signed, this note certainly has appeal. A repaired central split resulted in the apparent grade from PCGS.
North Carolina December, 1771 £5 PCGS Extremely Fine 40. The drum, cannons, and flags vignette remains clear on this lightly circulated note with the I. ASHE stamp on the back. Only 2000 of these £5 notes were printed. This example is numbered 1962. Several endorsements are seen on the back.
North Carolina December, 1771 £5 PMG Very Fine 25. A much scarcer denomination from the 1771 issue, this lovely example is well-printed and nicely margined. Only 2000 of these notes were printed and this note is numbered 589. A margin repair was mentioned by PMG.
North Carolina April 2, 1776 $1/8 Steer PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30. Willis Alston and G. Hill signed this note featuring a vignette of a steer. This April 2, 1776 issue is one of the most fascinating in all of Colonial Currency. It's composed of denominations running from $1/16 to $20, with as many as eight different vignettes for several of the denominations. There are a total of 56 varieties for this issue. The low-denominated notes are virtually never seen. The apparent grade of this $1/8 example is due to a repair to the lower right corner as cited by PCGS.
North Carolina August 8, 1778 $1/2 PCGS Apparent Choice About New 55. The motto on this $1/2 note is "Behold! A new World." William Sharpe signed this lightly handled example. According to the comment by PCGS on the holder, the apparent grade is due to the light staining that is seen.
North Carolina May 10, 1780 $25 PMG About Uncirculated 53. There are six different mottos on this $25 denomination. This long motto, Terra libera Notam Praetii in me posuit (a free land placed a mark of value on me), is one that is seen less frequently. This is a beautiful, problem-free note with good color and broad margins. Newman only prices these notes up through the EF grade level.
North Carolina May 10, 1780 $25 PMG Very Fine 25 Net. Great eye appeal is a characteristic of this lovely note. There are six distinct $25 notes for this issue, each with its own Latin motto. This example features Quid non virtute efficiendum (what is not to be accomplished by virtue). John Ashe and Jonathan Cooke signed this note. Margin reconstruction was mentioned as the reason for the net grade by PMG.
North Carolina May 10, 1780 $100 PCGS About New 53. Bright paper and nice margins add to the appeal of this North Carolina Colonial $100 featuring the motto Fortis cadere cedere non potest (a brave man cannot fall). Newman only prices notes of this issue up through the EF grade level.
Pennsylvania April 25, 1759 £5 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20. The all-important, "Printed by B. FRANKLIN, and D. HALL" can be seen clearly on the back of this appealing red and black note. Plate letter A is observed. PCGS cited edge splits as the reason for the apparent grade. The current edition of Newman lists a price of $4000 for this denomination in VF.
Pennsylvania March 10, 1769 18d PCGS Very Fine 20. Jacob Lewis, Charles Thomson, and Stephen Collins signed this well-printed, nicely margined note. This issue is known as "Bettering House Money" because the notes were authorized to provide relief and employment to Philadelphia's poor.
Pennsylvania March 10, 1769 15s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25. Moderately circulated, this example of Bettering House Money certainly retains appeal. The signers were James Penrose, Stephen Collins, and Luke Morris. A mere 1000 of these 15 shillings notes were printed. This was the second highest denomination for the issue. PCGS assigned the apparent grade due to tape repaired edge splits at top and bottom center according to the notation on the holder. The current edition of the Newman reference only prices this denomination up through the Fine grade level ($2000).
Pennsylvania April 3, 1772 18d PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. The nature print on the back of this 18 pence note is particularly attractive. Nicely margined, plate letter B is observed on this example. The signers were Samuel Coates, Joseph Dean, and James Wharton. Only two examples have received higher grades from PMG. The price in Newman for this grade level is $1000.
Pennsylvania October 25, 1775 9d PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Boldly printed, this nine pence note has great eye appeal. Plate letter B is seen on this example signed by Charles Jervis. Embossing and natural paper surfaces are visible through the holder making it easy to see why this note earned the EPQ designation from PMG.
Rhode Island November 6, 1775 40s PMG Fine 12 Net. All three signatures, including the one penned in red ink, remain clearly visible on this scarce note that was the highest denomination for the issue. The signers were John Cole, John Dexter, and Joseph Clarke. John Carter printed only 1500 of these 40 shillings notes and this example is numbered 947. As of this writing, this is the only example that has been graded by PMG. Carter, a native of Philadelphia, apprenticed with Franklin & Hall. He later partnered with printer Sarah Goddard for several years before opening his own printing house. Split repairs were cited by PMG as the reason for the net grade on this example.
Virginia July 17, 1775 £5 PMG Very Fine 20 Net. Robert Carter Nicholas countersigned the back of this £5 note that measures nearly five by six inches. Most denominations from this issue come in both large and small sizes. The £5 is the only denomination that comes in large size only. This was the highest denomination for the issue and had the lowest printing. Only 3294 of these notes were printed. PMG has noted laminated on this example, which is essentially correct and thus the net grade, although silked would have been more accurate. This large-format Virginia is almost always seen in tatters, when it is seen at all. In spite of the silking, this is still an important note in this grade as we do not encounter these on a frequent basis.
Virginia May 1, 1780 $2 PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. Well-printed, this nearly uncirculated Virginia Guaranteed note has the latest known handwritten issuing date of October 9, 1781. Jonathan Boush and John Lyne signed this example and their signatures remain bold. The guarantee on the back was signed by Forster Webb and his signature remains dark as well.
Fractional Currency
Fr. 1228 5c First Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ. A very bright and colorful example of this perforated with monogram note that has three huge margins and therefore a tighter fourth.
Fr. 1230 5c First Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Deep embossing is clearly visible through the third party holder.
Fr. 1240 10c First Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. A lovely example of this always desirable type with perforations and monogram. If the margins were a little broader at a couple of points we have no doubt that the gem grade would have been in order. The green sheet bid of $275 should look dismal when the hammer finally falls on this beauty.
Fr. 1279 25c First Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. A bright and colorful example of this popular perforated with monogram note. Rich ink tones and bold print quality catapult this lovely example near the upper reaches of the grading scale. The green sheet Ask of $300 seems to be asking too little in this upward trending marketplace.
Fr. 1312 50c First Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. A bright, colorful and well centered example of this higher denomination first issue note that appears as if it could have vied for the gem grade.
Fr. 1234 5c Second Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. Bright bronze and razor sharp "S" and "18-63" surcharges are seen on this delightful high grade note. This is certainly a scarcer variety that rarely is seen in the gem grade.
Fr. 1246 10c Second Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ. This "S" and "18-63" surcharge Friedberg number is often encountered with one margin being trimmed into the design. Such is note the case with this note that has a well centered bronze oval and embossing visible through the holder.
Fr. 1283 25c Second Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55. Superior original embossing is clearly visible from the face in the lower portrait area but PMG has noted some pinholes as the reason for leaving the EPQ designation for another note. We cannot really discern any folds but we are looking through a plastic holder.
Fr. 1226 3c Third Issue No Pearls PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. From the face this light background note looks like a lovely gem but the back centering is a little too low. Although not mentioned on the holder this is the somewhat more desirable No Pearls variety.
Fr. 1251 10c Third Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. A splendid example of this red back Washington note with picture perfect centering, bright bronzing and fiery ink colors.
Fr. 1254 10c Third Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. A very well embossed and colorful example of this much scarcer Friedberg number that possesses the Jeffries-Spinner hand-signed signature combination.
Fr. 1255 10c Third Issue PMG Gem Uncirculated 65. Perfect color, deep embossing and radiant bronzing all come together to produce a lovely gem example of this more available type.
Fr. 1273SP 15c Third Issue Narrow Specimen Central Trust Company PMG Very Good 8 Net. This red back is actually more of a medium margin specimen that has been net graded by PMG. They have commented "Central Trust Company Rochester, NY" is used on the tear repair. Although low grade a very interesting piece of fractional currency.
Fr. 1291 25c Third Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. Some light circulation is evident on this deeply embossed Fessenden note that has the look of a Choice New example. The color and paper quality appear to be nothing short of superb.
Fr. 1297 25c Third Issue PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45. A lovely example of this fiber paper type that look About New through the holder as we only detect a single fold. The surcharges are bright and the print quality bold on this more challenging type which routinely outpaces its green sheet value by leaps and bounds.
Fr. 1335 50c Third Issue Spinner PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ. A broadly margined and evenly circulated example of this much scarcer green back subtype that has the position indicators on the back.
Fr. 1259 10c Fourth Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ. A bright blue swath of color is seen at the right end of this very pretty fourth issue type note.
Fr. 1307 25c Fourth Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A very attractive example of this scarcer Washington fourth issue variety that has good color and bright blue paper.
Fr. 1307 25¢ Fourth Issue Very Fine. This smaller-seal Blue End note is perfect for the grade.
Fr. 1374 50c Fourth Issue Lincoln PMG Choice About Unc 58. A very well margined example of this Lincoln type that is ever-increasing in popularity with collectors. It has the margins and centering of a gem or very nearly so but we are hard pressed to find a fold anywhere in the note. PMG obviously seemed to think otherwise but they were looking at the note without a plastic barrier in between.
Fr. 1376 50c Fourth Issue Stanton PMG Very Fine 25. A well embossed and evenly circulated example of this popular Stanton type that should prove to be well received by the fractional collecting community.
Fr. 1379 50c Fourth Issue Dexter PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. A really wonderfully margined Dexter note that sure looks as if it could have garnered a significantly higher grade from the professionals.
Fr. 1264 10c Fifth Issue PMG Extremely Fine 40. A green seal Meredith that looks like a gem through the holder.
Fr. 1308 25¢ Fifth Issue Fine.
Fr. 1309 25¢ Fifth Issue Fine. Three Examples. Four comparably circulated notes are included in this lot. There will be no returns on this lot for any reason.
Fr. 1309 25¢ Fifth Issue Fine. Three Examples. Four comparably circulated notes are included in this lot. There will be no returns on this lot for any reason.
Fr. 1381 50c Fifth Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. A wonderfully margined Crawford note that looks like a gem through the holder.
Four Fractional Notes. Fr. 1226 Fine, Fr. 1230 (two) Fine and Very Fine, and Fr. 1261 Good. All problem free, decent examples of their grades.

Series 651 25¢ PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. The eagle design on the back of this lightly handled example that earned the EPQ designation is very appealing. The fractional notes were removed from circulation soon after they had been issued, leading to their scarcity. This lovely example is from the first printing.
Series 651 $5 PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. Laura, as engraved by Richard M. Bower, is seen at center. The designs for this series are the same as those for Series 641, except a Minuteman has been added at left on the faces. This example is from the first printing.

Obsoletes By State
Monroe, LA- Vicksburg, Shreveport and Texas Railroad Company 50¢ Jan. 13, 1862
The actual tracks for this railroad only ran from Vicksburg to Monroe. However, it did join with the Southern and Alabama & Mississippi Railroads to provide a long east-west Deep South link from Selma, Alabama to Monroe. Economic necessity produced this issue of paper money, while the fall of Vicksburg in 1863 suspended the operations of the VS & T. This note was printed on the back of a portion of a bond from the company. Good.

A contemporary repair using backing that appears to be a portion of a lottery ticket is observed on the back.
