Colonial Notes
Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $2 PMG About Uncirculated 50. A very high grade example of a much scarcer issue and denomination combination. The deuce from this series is highly coveted and this example should easily meet or exceed our conservative estimate.
Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $4 PMG Extremely Fine 40. A really nice example of this Boar Chasing Spear vignette. Well signed and numbered with pretty good margins and centering. Higher end circulated examples of this first issue are always highly sought after and this not should prove no exception.
Connecticut May 10, 1770 5s PMG Very Fine 20 Net. A lovely example with respectable margins, this note is from an extremely rare issue, and importantly is uncanceled. To date, PMG has graded only two of these: this 20 NET on which they comment Split Repairs, and a VG-8. This note has the appearance of a VF-30, but PMG is correct in that the horizontal center fold has been professionally strengthened. The latest edition of Newman's The Early Paper Money of America lists this note at $1000 in Fine, with no higher grades listed. This presents a rare opportunity to add one of these notes to your collection.
Connecticut July 1, 1775 10s PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45. Connecticut collectors will recognize this as an extremely important piece. The new Newman book does not price this uncanceled Ten Shilling above the Very Fine ($600) grade. This nice XF should approach that figure. Although PMG mentioned a few very minor edge tears, this note did not receive a net grade, and the tears are unimportant on a note of this significance.
Connecticut June 7, 1776 2s Uncancelled PMG About Uncirculated 53 EPQ. A very faint horizontal center fold avails itself on this otherwise boldly signed and very well embossed Connecticut note. Most importantly, this lovely piece is uncancelled and therefore much more valuable than its cancelled cousins.
Connecticut June 19, 1776 2s Uncancelled PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. A spectacular example of this June 19th issue note that has been blessed with incredible high rise embossing and tremendous eye appeal.
Maryland December 7, 1775 $1 1/3 PMG Very Fine 20. A very nice example of this scarcer Maryland issue and off-denomination that has a fold count indicative of a much higher grade.
Massachusetts June 18, 1776 1s/3d PCGS Very Fine 20PPQ. A very well margined and evenly circulated example of this lower denomination note that is boldly signed and well above average for this issue.
Massachusetts June 18, 1776 2s/4d PMG Choice Very Fine 35. A wonderful example of this condition-challenged issue that has great signature and serial number, bold printing and few folds than what one would expect for the assigned grade.
Massachusetts 1779 4s PMG Very Fine 30 Net. George Partridge was the signer of this Rising Sun note. 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.
Massachusetts May 5, 1780 $3 PMG About Uncirculated 50. Serial number 245 is seen on this well printed Massachusetts note that has a single center fold and a cut out cancel.
Massachusetts May 5, 1780 $3 PMG Extremely Fine 40 EPQ. Serial number 206 is seen on this seemingly conservatively graded Massachusetts note with the cut out cancel. There is a single fold that we see through the third party holder and the embossing and originality are clear to the naked eye.
New Hampshire April 29, 1780 $4 PMG About Uncirculated 50. A wonderful example of this final New Hampshire issue that has excellent printing, bright paper and bright penned signatures.
New Jersey May 1, 1758 £6 PMG Very Good 10. This ex: Ford note is absolutely spectacular for the grade and is nicer than any Very Good early New Jersey note that your cataloger has encountered in his innumerable years of experience specializing in colonial currency. The Coat of Arms has great detail, the signatures are bold and there are a couple of tiny center fold splits seen at top and bottom.
New Jersey April 8, 1762 30s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20. A very nice example of this scarcer early Jersey issue that has great eye appeal for the grade and looks like a nice near Extremely Fine note. PCGS has assigned the apparent grade due to an edge split and a painted over stain but these are both relatively minor.
New Jersey December 31, 1763 £3 PCGS About New 50. An attractive, lightly handled note, this example is numbered 917 of 1000 printed by James Parker and is a very important note in this grade. Although this early New Jersey issue is extremely common in the lower denominations, with even uncirculated examples up through the 15s note readily available, the £3 and £6 are a very different story. All three signatures are strong, as is the serial number, adding to the appeal of this piece.
New Jersey February 20, 1776 30s PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Although we have handled a fair number of 30s examples from this scarcer 1776 issue, we have handled only one Uncirculated piece prior to this piece. And, of the eleven examples PMG has seen, this is the only Uncirculated note. Newman does not price any of the four denominations for this issue above the Extremely Fine grade. Interestingly, this plate letter A note is serial number 5000 of the 10000 printed. The signatures of Hendrick Fisher, Azariah Dunham, and John Dennis remain bold. Well margined, and quite rare in this grade.
New Jersey March 25, 1776 3s PMG About Uncirculated 50 Net. A well embossed and seemingly uncirculated example of this popular New Jersey issue that would have graded Choice New but for the left part of the note missing. AU notes generally sell for around $200 each but we will temper the estimate some all the same.
New Jersey March 25, 1776 6s PCGS Choice About New 55. A light corner rub is all that keeps this jumbo margined New Jersey note from the gem grade. The print detail is phenomenal, the eye appeal superb and the desirability of this note is second to none.
New Jersey March 25, 1776 15s PMG Choice About Unc 58 Net. A lovely Choice New New Jersey note that has excellent embossing, bold signatures and great detail. PMG has net graded this due to some very light rust specks in the coat of arms. It looks to this cataloger like there is a gutter fold as well but apparently PMG did not think so and just thought of it as an "as made" wrinkle since it is certainly obvious that it is not a fold.
North Carolina April 4, 1748 30s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25. A mere 2000 of these 30 shillings notes were printed and this example is numbered 720. The emblem is a winged stirrup. The signatures of Edward Moseley, Samuel Swann, John Starkey, and Eleazer Allen remain clearly visible on this note from an early North Carolina issue. These notes were printed from engraved copper plates. The latest edition of the Newman reference only lists these notes up through the VF level ($1500). A number of endorsements are viewed on the back. PCGS cited multiple repairs of splits and tears and a restoration of the right end as the reasons for the apparent grade.
North Carolina May 28, 1757 £5 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20. The entire May 28, 1757 issue is unpriced in Newman and there are no indications of any recent auction records. The note in fact is more attractive than the plate piece in Newman and is very important with this level of eye appeal. Each of the four different denominations has two varieties. This is the one claiming interest at 6 per Cent rather than 6 per Centum. The notes were printed by James Davis and signed by Thomas Barker and John Starkey. A repaired edge and internal splits were cited by PCGS as the reason for the apparent grade. The repairs are merely the ordinary strengthening of splits that are nearly always seen on notes of this era.
North Carolina May 4, 1758 20s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25. Another rare North Carolina note from yet another scarce issue that is unpriced in the current Newman edition. However a 40 shillings note from this same issue realized $1035 in Stack's May 2004 auction and that example graded a mere good. A repaired edge and internal splits were listed as the reasons for the apparent grade.
North Carolina April 23, 1761 20s PCGS Apparent Fine 12. All four signatures remain visible on this piece of Proclamation Money. This issue was printed by James Davis. Numerous endorsements are seen on the back. Repaired edge tears and pinholes were mentioned by PCGS as the reasons for the apparent grade.
North Carolina December, 1768 £3 PMG Very Fine 30. A very well embossed and fresh example of this scarcer high denomination North Carolina note that is boldly signed and enormously margined. We don't like to quibble with assigned graded but there are only a couple of real folds and a couple of corner folds giving it the appearance of a bright Extremely Fine note.
North Carolina December, 1768 £3 PCGS Apparent Fine 15. Well-margined and well-signed, this note has nice eye appeal for the grade. PCGS cited repaired edge tears and a reattached lower left corner as the reasons for the apparent grade.
North Carolina April 2, 1776 $2 1/2 Liberty Cap PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35. The emblem on this variety is a liberty cap over an altar. The motto is LIBERTAS & NATALE SOLUM (liberty and our native land). This was one of two varieties for this denomination, the other being a hand clasping thirteen arrows. The signatures of all four signers remain visible as does serial number 452. One of the endorsements on the back was penned by William Littlejohn.
North Carolina August 8, 1778 $10 PCGS Very Fine 30. A very attractive example of this popular 1778 North Carolina issue that has the motto "Independence." We only see a couple of light folds through the third party holder as this note has the eye appeal of a near About New example.
Pennsylvania October 1, 1756 10s Good-Very Good. These notes were printed by Benjamin Franklin & David Hall, making them desirable in any condition. Additionally, this plate letter "A" note has serial number 11979 and was once part of Lot 1589 of Part VIII of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection. The face has been peeled away from the back and this lot contains only the face portion. This example is bright for the grade with a couple of tears along the center fold. The signatures of all three signers remain visible. Only 12,000 of these notes were printed.
Pennsylvania April 25, 1776 6d PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ. A wonderfully margined example of this small change type that has some light handling but nothing too distracting. Really a premium example for the grade in terms of eye appeal.
Pennsylvania April 25, 1776 9d PCGS Apparent Very Choice New 64. An absolutely beautiful example of this small change issue that is a gem in every sense of the word but for a razor thin edge cut at the broad top right margin. If you want an extraordinary eye appealing example of this issue then this is it.
Pennsylvania April 25, 1776 20s PMG About Uncirculated 50. A faint center fold is seen on this very well margined and well centered Pennsylvania note. So often these columned notes are trimmed rather tight but this note is the happy exception to the rule.
Pennsylvania April 25, 1776 40s PMG About Uncirculated 55. A much scarcer and more desirable denomination from this April 1776 issue. The paper is bright, the signatures bold and the margins much, much broader than most seen from this issue.
Pennsylvania April 10, 1777 1s PMG About Uncirculated 55. This is a scarcer example of this black only note that has great eye appeal, minimal circulation and solid paper. PMG has noted a hole repair but we have searched far and wide without success locating this problem.
Pennsylvania April 10, 1777 2s Red and Black PMG Choice Fine 15. A lovely example of this scarcer red and black note that is evenly circulated with great color and bold signature.
Pennsylvania April 20, 1781 2s/6d PMG Very Fine 30. These bills were authorized in part as a means of supporting the Army. Plate letter A is observed on this example signed by Philip Boehm. The chevron design on the back displays good detail. Adding to the appeal, the higher denominations, including this one, are scarcer from this issue.
Rhode Island May 22, 1777 $1/9 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 35. Paul Allen signed this appealing, well-printed piece numbered 5406 that displays nice embossing. These notes were issued in an attempt to remedy the shortage of small change. PCGS included a notation that the apparent grade was due to an edge tear repaired at left near the bottom.
Rhode Island May 1786 6s PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. A boldly signed and wonderfully embossed example from this final Rhode Island issue that has great eye appeal and wonderful color. This cataloger is having a very difficult time seeing where a fold might be but the PMG cabal of graders apparently saw something.
Rhode Island May 1786 10s PMG About Uncirculated 55. To your cataloger this note certainly appears better than the assigned grade. The note is pretty well embossed and we cannot find a fold and certainly don't see the tear. If they are both there they are well hidden.
South Carolina March 6, 1776 £50 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40. The Second Provincial Congress of South Carolina authorized this issue. The emblem for this £50 note, as described by Newman, is trophies. The motto is ANIMIS OPIBUSQUE PARATI (prepared in spirit and resources). Only 3700 notes of this denomination were printed, with this example numbered 1315. The size of the paper the notes were printed on varied according to the denomination. The two highest denominations, £50 and £100, measure approximately 3 1/2" by 5 3/8" inches and are the only two notes from the issue with printed backs. An elaborate design is seen on the back along with the motto, DEUS PUGNAVIT ET DISSIPANTUR (God has fought and the opposition was dispersed). The signatures of Jacob Motte, Thomas Savage, and Peter Leger remain visible on this example. Tape repaired splits and tears were listed as the reasons for the apparent grade. Newman only prices this denomination up through Fine ($1750).
South Carolina December 23, 1777 (pen corrected to 1776) $2 PMG Very Fine 30. This is the variety of the Two Dollar note with the misdating error where the text on the face dates the note as December 23, 1777. The error was caught and corrected on the plate, and the pieces that got through before the mistake was discovered have the final printed "7" changed in pen to a "6" to correct the problem. The emblem is a rooster with the motto ET SOLI ET MARTI (for the Sun and for Mars). Only 10,000 of these notes were printed. This example is fully signed and issued. Partially signed Remainders are far more common.
Virginia October 20, 1777 $10 Very Fine-Extremely Fine++. A very satisfying Virginia note that has bold signatures, ample margins and an even amount of circulation.
Virginia July 14, 1780 $3 1/3 PCGS Very Fine 20. This is a very scarce denomination and a wonderful example as such. Huge margins, great paper quality and some of the best eye appeal you could hope to have on a rice paper note.
Virginia July 14, 1780 $20 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine 40. Superb eye appeal will follow this rice paper note wherever it goes. The print quality is exceptional, the eye appeal is incredible and the paper quality is great. There is some light ink erosion in the signatures and serial number but aside from that this note is a problem free EF note.
Virginia July 14, 1780 $100 PCGS Very Fine 20. An absolutely beautiful problem free example of this high denomination rice paper note that is wonderfully margined, problem free and an exciting piece of currency to the colonial specialist.
Virginia May 7, 1781 $1000 PCGS Apparent Choice About New 55. In terms of eye appeal this high denomination Virginia note has great signatures, superb eye appeal and wonderful print quality. PCGS has noted a Major restoration at left end which is certainly true but which does not greatly affect the aesthetic appeal of this lovely note.
Fractional Currency
Fr. 1231 5c First Issue PMG Very Fine 25. A lovely example of this much scarcer straight edge without monogram variety that is 30 times scarcer than its monogrammed cousin.
Fr. 1279 25c First Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. A very bright and colorful example of this perforated type that has two huge margins and two average ones. A well printed and appealing example that should please most any collector.
Fr. 1281 25c First Issue Vertical Strip of Three PMG About Uncirculated 55 EPQ. A very lightly handled example of this popular first issue vertical strip that has superb embossing and great color. Individually these notes would be worth around $350 or so in today's marketplace as the top note is likely Choice New on its own.
Fr. 1281 25c First Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55. A light corner fold appears to be all that separates this boldly printed and colorful note from the Choice New grade.
Fr. 1312 50c First Issue PMG About Uncirculated 55. A very well margined and deeply inked example of this higher denomination first issue type note.
Fr. 1244 10c Second Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A near gem example of this second issue type that should please its new owner.
Fr. 1226 3c Third Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. Huge margins for the type are seen on this robust light background note that has been commented for being hinged but all we see are a couple of light brown spots.
About Good or Better Fractional. There are four 3¢ notes, five 5¢ First Issue Notes, and two 5¢ Second Issue notes. There will be no returns on this lot for any reason.
Fr. 1251 10c Third Issue PMG Choice About Unc 58. An attractive and brightly bronzed note with crimson seal color and exceptional eye appeal. The reason for the 58 grade is not so readily apparent.
Fr. 1255 10c Third Issue PMG Uncirculated 62 EPQ. Full plate number 34 is seen in the back lower left corner on this well embossed note. But for a tight top margin this example would approach the gem grade.
Fr. 1255 10¢ Third Issue Extremely Fine, Aged. Lightly aged, but with original paper surfaces.
Fr. 1294 25c Third Issue PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. A superbly embossed Fessenden green back that looks wholly Choice New through the third party holder.
Fr. 1339 50c Third Issue Spinner Type II Back Plate #2 PMG Very Fine 20. A very well embossed and original example of this Type II Spinner that has bright bronzing and good paper surfaces. It seems to this cataloger that plate numbers are not seen so frequently on the back of these Type II notes making this a very desirable item for the astute fractional specialist.
Fr. 1301 25c Fourth Issue PMG About Uncirculated 53. A very eye appealing example of this watermarked Washington note that has healthy margins and bright seal color. PMG has noted a hole which appears to be a rather large pinhole near the top of the note left of center.
Fr. 1307 25c Fourth Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. This is the variety with the blue right end and the smaller treasury seal. This Washington note has excellent margins, superb centering and tremendously pleasing aesthetic qualities. The back is centered a smidge too high which we believe is what has kept the gem grade out of reach.
Fr. 1374 50c Fourth Issue Lincoln PMG Very Fine 30. Believe it or not this Lincoln has better than average margins for the type as they are typically seen with one totally incomplete margin. An evenly circulated example that should prove a nice addition to one lucky person's collection.
Fr. 1376 50c Fourth Issue Stanton PMG Very Fine 25. Three sizeable margins and ample embossing are seen on this original Stanton note.
Bronze Age (1970-1979)
Fr. 1309 25c Fifth Issue PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A lovely near gem example of this short key Walker that has three gigantic margins and an adequate fourth. High grade original Walkers have been making an upward movement in price in recent months.
Fractional Currency
Fr. 1381 50c Fifth Issue PCGS Very Choice New 64. Seemingly a gem Crawford note from the face as it has excellent margin size, good centering and wonderful eye appeal. The back is centered a touch high which may account for the grade.
Military Payment Certificates
Series 472 10¢ PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. Nicely margined and well-printed, this is an attractive example.
Series 472 First Printing $10 About New. A very eye-appealing example of this early MPC issued March 22, 1948. Lightly circulated but with an upper corner fold repaired. AU bid is $325.
Series 521 First Printing $5 PMG Very Fine 30. A bright and colorful example of this much scarcer denomination that lists for $350 in Very Fine bid and $550 in Extremely Fine bid. Well margined and with fewer folds than one would expect to encounter for this split grade.
Series 611 First Printing $10 PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58 EPQ. Simply an astounding example of this much scarcer denomination that looks like a near gem through the holder. It is rather difficult to see any folds but presumably one must be there somewhere. Green sheet bid in AU is $285 and in Unc $550.
Series 651 5¢ PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. The fractionals for this series are scarce. An attractive note from the first printing, this is certainly a desirable example.
Series 651 5¢ PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. Lightly handled, this scarce example retains plenty of appeal.
Series 651 First Printing 10c PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. A lovely gem example of this popular and colorful type that was first printed on April 28, 1969. What more could be done to improve upon the quality of this note is anyone's guess.
Series 651 10¢ PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. The colors add to the appeal of this scarce fractional from the first printing.
Series 651 First Printing 25c PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. An essentially perfect example of this scarce and desirable MPC that was first printed on April 28, 1969.
Series 651 25¢ PMG About Uncirculated 55. The fractional notes were removed from circulation soon after they had been issued, leading to their scarcity. The eagle design on the back of this lightly handled example is very appealing. 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 lovely example is from the first printing.
Series 681 First Printing $20 PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. A well embossed and picture perfect example of this later MPC with this denomination being the scarcest and most desirable.

We will let the bidders be the judge.

Fr. 16 $1 1862 Legal Tender PMG Good 6 Net. Nice color is observed on this circulated note. This is the Friedberg number with the National Bank Note Company listed twice and without a monogram. Salmon Chase's portrait was engraved by Joseph P. Ourdan based on a painting by Henry Ulke. Chase (1808-73) served as Secretary of the Treasury from 1861-64.

A highly unusual example in that almost all notes of this Friedberg number grade Choice-Gem CU with circulated examples being few and far between. To this point the last Extremely Fine that we sold realized $800 back in September 2007. The green sheet is always painfully low for circs because the price is guesswork.

The Fr. 1173a's have lower serial numbers than the Fr. 1173's because they were actually issued before the 1173's. This $10 Gold is of the small serial number persuasion with serial numbers 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. In fact this Friedberg number was not added until the thirteenth edition which was published in 1992.
