Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.
Minimum Bid:
Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (approximately 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

Description:
PMG About New Watermelon Hundred - The Finest Yet Graded
Fr. 377 $100 1890 Treasury Note PMG About Uncirculated 53 NET. In spite of its net grade, this PMG 53 is the highest Watermelon Hundred yet graded by either service. PMG has graded ten pieces, with this the highest grade, and PCGS has graded six pieces, with a 50 the highest. This note gives the appearance of a Choice Uncirculated example. Very close inspection reveals that all four corners on this high-end AU note had been quite rounded, a problem that we are used to seeing with so-called "Vault Cash" - money that has banged around for years in bank safes but has never actually circulated. All four corners have been rebuilt and returned to square by a rather experienced hand in restoration. None of the work touches the design at all, but affects only the blank paper corners; all of the design elements are 100% natural. The work is not impossible to spot, but it is very convincing and not seen at a glance. This note has a tremendous pedigree. It was originally owned by Colonel E.H.R. Green, then William Philpott. It then went on to Frank Limpert, where it was used as the illustration for his book. Stack's sold the Limpert Collection in September of 1955, where the note was Lot 112. After that, it went to Morey Perlmutter, who advertised it in Paper Money Magazine as Uncirculated. It then appeared in Kagin's November 1973 sale, also as CU. Track & Price shows no auction record for it, but Tom Flynn had a handwritten notation which he kept with this piece, "This came from the Carter Collection," which we believe to be correct. There are a few recent auction records to go by. The PCGS 50 sold for $207,000 in October of 2005, and we sold a PMG 30 in May of 2007 for $143,750. This net 53, the highest graded by either service, should comfortably slip past those figures.From The Thomas M. Flynn Collection Estimate: $175,000 - up.
