Louisville, KY - $100 Brown Back Fr. 520 Louisville City NB Ch. # 788.
A wonderfully preserved $100 Kentucky Brown Back that combines great condition with an extremely difficult bank, the four notes being reported most likely are comprised of Original Series $1s and $5s. The margins are a bit tight on all four sides, otherwise this pleasing Crisp Uncirculated note presents as Choice.

Auction 282 | Lot 2805 » Federal Reserve Bank Notes

Fr. 817 $10 1915 Federal Reserve Bank Note CGA Gem Uncirculated 66. A beautiful Gem example of this scarce number that is always immensely popular because of the district bank signatures that are engraved with Cross as the "Acting" Secretary. This piece last sold in Lyn F. Knight's February, 2000 sale, where it realized $7,480. Although there are a number of high grade survivors of this number from a short run or two that were saved, this CGA 66 example must be one of the nicest around. We expect this lovely note today to reach or exceed...

1862 $50 Legal Tender Face Proof Gem New. A flawless newly discovered example of this extremely rare proof. It is printed on India paper, mounted to a fairly heavy card. In a distinction that always has been important to this cataloger, but seemingly meaningless to collectors of proof notes, this note was clearly printed after mounting as the impression of the plate can be easily seen on the back of the card. The colors are spectacular and but for the normal six small hole cancels in the signature block, this rare piece is as perfect as a proof can be.

$100 1862 Legal Tender Proof Choice New. This Spread Eagle $100 is one of the most stately US Currency designs ever produced. The Proof, which recently surfaced along with the $50 1862 and the National Bank Note Company Proofs in the Obsolete section, is in near perfect condition. It is separated from the Gem grade only by two minor corner bumps. The note, like the fifty, is printed on India paper that was mounted to the card prior to printing, as the embossing clearly shows through.

Fr. 202a $50 1861 Interest Bearing Note Proof Gem New. This design type is one of the rarest of all US Currency. Its represented by a single signed and issued redeemable example which we sold in our May 2001 sale for just under $700,000. That note, and another issued note which has been punched canceled, redeemed, and now resides in the Bureau of the Public Debt in Washington D.C. The proof which we now offer is only the third example of the design type known. It is on the normal bank note paper, printed on both sides and hand numbered. It apparently was a normally printed note prepared for issue, but then punch cancelled with a small hole in each signature block and carefully mounted to a light card so that both sides can be viewed. This Proof surfaced in the Richard Saffin collection, sold by Christis in 1982, and was later traded privately to a major holding in 1985. It is the ideal companion piece to the unique note we sold last spring and it will undoubtedly set a record price for any US Proof note.

Fr. 2 $5 1861 Demand Note Extremely Fine. This beautiful Philadelphia Demand Note is an old friend. CAA sold it at their Memphis sale in June of 1994. It was described there, "An exceptional Demand Note, with good color, strong signatures and margins all the way around. One of the most eye-appealing notes we've seen for the series." More than a hundred examples of Fr. 2 are known to exist, and only a half-dozen of them grade Extra Fine or better. This note has strong signatures, good color and great overall appearance. Demand Notes are the type that is seen in the lowest average grade, and a pleasing note like this one, without flaws or restorations, is a real rarity. Since we handled this note, it was the Andrew Shiva example, and it sold most recently in a Lyn Knight auction for $8,800.

Fr. 26 $1 1875 Legal Tender Note CGA Gem Uncirculated 65. The deep red colors give this note outstanding eye appeal, and the paper quality appears pristine enough to think that perhaps CGA might have been a little conservative on their "65" grade.
