Auction 290 | Lot 3305 » National Bank Notes » Louisiana
New Orleans, LA- $20 1875 Fr. 434 The Louisiana NB Ch. # 1626
We have handled a fair number of Nationals during the past three decades, but one thing we have never encountered is a First Charter $20 from Louisiana. It was with considerable surprise, therefore, that the Midwest collection's "type" First Charter twenty would prove to be this note. It's the only example of its type we've ever seen or heard of from this state, and, even better, it's an attractive circulated example as well, with bold signatures and great color for the grade. Fine, a note which might well surprise.

Auction 290 | Lot 1158 » Federal Reserve Notes
Fr. 1960-B* $5 1934D Federal Reserve Note. Gem Crisp Uncirculated.
This is a just plain rare series from which to obtain any star in the ultimate condition, with offerings restricted to those occurring when great collections are dispersed. This piece, from the Burnside holdings, is fresh, well centered, and utterly original, right down to the miniscule handling mark it retains, not even close to taking it from the gem classification.

Auction 290 | Lot 210 » Colonial Notes
Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $5 Extremely Fine. A broadly margined example of the only rare issue of Continentals. Most importantly, the note is absolutely genuine, while in fact most survivors of this issue are not. The British printed many thousands of Counterfeits, which brought about a recall of these notes. Counterfeits were rejected at the recall, and consequently are far more common than genuine examples.

Connecticut June 7, 1776 1s Gem New. An absolutely flawless, uncanceled example of this issue on perfectly white paper with broad, even margins and a strong signature. The deep, original embossing of the plate is immediately evident from either side. Colonials, particularly Connecticuts, are rarely found this nice.

Auction 290 | Lot 254 » Colonial Notes
New Jersey March 25,1776 12s Choice About New. This beautiful Jersey example has unusually large margins all the way around and bears the signature of Colonial Patriot John Hart. Hart later in this same year, became one of the signers of the Declaration Of Independence. This note is separated from the superb new grade only by the very lightest of center folds. A true gem example of this same note realized a runaway price of nearly $4000 in Heritage's February 2002 sale.

New Jersey June 9, 1780 $20 Choice About New A rare note, particularly in this grade. For some reason, high grade three and four dollar notes of this issue are occasionally seen but this is only the second high-grade twenty that we can recall. The note is fully signed, including the guarantee on the back. It is well-margined and appears to be a perfect gem, unless examined extremely closely. There is a single, very light center fold nearly disguised by the note's natural embossing.

South Carolina February 8, 1779 $40 Choice About New. The Forty Dollar denomination is one of the scarcer denominations, with a print figure of only 2000. This example is #1157 of that 2000. It has the full paper selvage and the impression of the plate on three of the four sides. The top margin is much narrower, but it is well clear of the frame line of the note. There are a number of minor splits in the top margin, but they are this super note's only flaw. The signatures are strong, and the overall appearance is exceptional. If memory serves, this is the finest example of this denomination that we have had the pleasure of handling. It represents a premium combination of beauty and rarity that is seldom found in Colonial Currency.

South Carolina February 8, 1779 $60 About New. Well printed, boldly signed and with broad margins all the way around, this is one of the very nicest $60 examples of this Coram issue in existence. The note has three light storage folds, but there are no signs whatever of circulation. A beautiful example of a seldom-seen denomination from what is arguably the most attractive and sought-after issue in Colonial Currency.

South Carolina February 8, 1779 $70 Gem New. A hugely margined, boldly printed, well signed, perfect example of this classic Colonial Currency note. The full selvage of the sheet surrounds the note, and the original impression of the edge of the plate can be clearly seen. Even the top margin is unusually generous. This is the single finest example of this issue that we have ever seen, and it may well be the finest example in existence.

Auction 290 | Lot 295 » Colonial Notes
South Carolina February 8, 1779 $70 About New. This note is tightly margined all the way around and grades fully uncirculated but for a single light center fold. The margins of this note are much more typical for this issue. The wide-margin pieces in this offering are decidedly atypical. The back vignette is signed by Coram, and it is a particularly boldly printed example of Prometheus bound and his feathered tormentor.

Auction 290 | Lot 296 » Colonial Notes
South Carolina February 8, 1779 $80 Choice About New. A simply wonderful example of that which is considered to be the rarest denomination of the Coram issue. The $80 note is assigned the highest value by both Newman and Friedberg. The note is separated from the Gem grade by a single light center fold. It's hugely margined all around and very well printed on both sides. There is a short split in the wide bottom margin, but it ends about 1/4" away from the frame line of the note itself. A wonderful combination of rarity and beauty.
