BP - Buyer's Premium

A "Buyer's Premium" is charged in addition to the successful bid according to the rate defined in our terms and conditions.

Opening Bid

The opening bid is the minimum amount required to begin bidding, and is generally a percentage of the low estimate.

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 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 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.

Description
Unique Fr. 1192a


Fr. 1192a $50 1882 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 25. Central States in 2006 was the backdrop for the last auction appearance of this unique note. At the time, our description included the story of its discovery, "This note originally surfaced at a Milwaukee coin show in late 1989. It was first presented to the public in Stack's January 16, 1990 auction. Stack's introduced it to the collecting community as follows: 'Very rarely in American Numismatics, is a completely new and important variety discovered. That such an event should occur is newsworthy; that it should happen in such a well-researched field as Large Sized currency is truly extraordinary. The Friedbergs have informed us that this newly discovered variety will be listed as Fr. 1192a in all future additions of their work.' In fact, that listing has occurred and this Fr. 1192a remains a unique and highly important piece. Prior to the discovery of this note, all Rosecrans and Huston-signed $50 Gold Certificates have the Large Brown Seal. According to Treasury records, as researched by Doug Murray, the printing of Rosecrans-Huston signed notes was completed during January of 1891 and the use of the Small Red Scalloped Seal did not begin until June of 1891. If the Treasury records are accepted as accurate, this note cannot exist. It's also an interesting point that the small Red Seal is located at the bottom center of the note - a position that was not used on any other Small Red Seal variety. The note itself is problem-free, strictly original, and unmolested, as well as being well margined, bright and attractive. Not only is Fr. 1192a unique as a Friedberg number, but it remains, and always likely will remain, unique as a Type." Today it is hard to imagine any unique large size note is worth less than our estimate, and, if two determined and well financed collectors decide to compete for this treasure, a seven figure realization can not be discounted.
