Auction 310 | Lot 18306 » Legal Tender Notes » Legal Tender Notes

Fr. 69 $5 1878 Legal Tender Superb Gem New. A bright, fresh, original example of a number that is seldom found bright or fresh, or original. Most all Fr. 69's are lifeless and with a rather dull appearance. This piece is a happy exception. It's beautifully bright and flashy, with all of its original embossing and super centering. One of the very nicest examples we've ever seen of this one-number type.

Auction 310 | Lot 18528 » Silver Certificates » Silver Certificates

Fr. 271 $5 1899 Silver Certificate Superb Gem New. A beautifully bright, well margined Chief without a hint of a problem. The centering of both sides is excellent, the margins are unusually broad, and the colors are as good as it gets. The note also carries with it the type of heavy, original embossing that can be spotted by even a newcomer to currency collecting. A very impressive Chief.

Auction 310 | Lot 18197 » Demand Notes » Demand Notes

Superb $20 Silver Certificate Proof Pair. Face and Back Proofs of the 1891 Silver Certificate Twenties. Both are from the completed plates, and both are razor-sharp Proof impressions where the printing can actually be felt as well as seen. Unlike most Proofs, the face of this note has had colored serial numbers added. They are in the correct blue, and the correct format, with an E followed by five zeros. Hessler illustrates a $10 of this same series and indicates that he is aware of three $20 sets, but this is the only example that we can ever recall having seen. Both the face and back are absolutely Superb, printed on bright white card, and as flawless as they can possibly be. A spectacular pair. (Total: 2 items)

Auction 310 | Lot 18198 » Demand Notes » Demand Notes

Ten Dollar 1815 Interest Bearing Treasury Note Very Fine. Dated February 24, 1815, this note is one from a series of circulating Treasury Notes that began in 1812. It's identical to the piece pictured on page 57 of Gene Hessler's Comprehensive Catalog of U.S. Paper Money and cataloged by him as X83C. The note is signed by Samuel Walker and Edward Fox. It's printed on paper watermarked "United States." The last time this note sold publicly, it had a Scotch tape stain and a long tear beginning in the top margin and going down through the eagle. At that time, the cataloger mentioned that the note was a prime candidate for professional repair. That repair has now taken place, and without the very closest of scrutiny, the tear has become invisible. The Scotch tape stain is gone. The top and bottom borders are irregularly cut and partially trimmed, but the side margins are full. Last time out, with its problems, the note realized $4600. Now, beautifully restored, it's worth considerably more.

Fr. 2 $5 1861 Demand Note Very Fine. When CAA last sold this note in January, 2000, it had a couple of tears that were tape repaired, and it appears in the census as "Fine, damaged and repaired." Since this note was last seen, however, it has been expertly restored. In fact, the restoration was so well done that we did not notice it until we looked at the census and at our old catalog, and even then we had to look very closely. The paper is quite solid and anything less than a VF grade would be unfair to the note's technical and aesthetic appearance. While not quite the same as an original, pristine example, this note is still very attractive with nice bold signatures and good color throughout, and it represents a fine argument for the benefits of restoration when a slightly damaged note is involved. Some collector will be very happy to add this nice note to his or her collection, and we expect the bidding to stop at about. . .

Auction 310 | Lot 18200 » Demand Notes » Demand Notes

Fr. 3 $5 1861 Demand Note Fine. A solid Boston Demand Note, with strong hand signatures, excellent color and a scattering of pinholes. The note has considerable legitimate claim to higher grade. It's utterly unmolested, with original surfaces and very good eye appeal. Demand Notes, in our opinion, are one of the most underpriced categories of Federal Currency.

Auction 310 | Lot 18202 » Demand Notes » Demand Notes

Fr. 6? 7? 8? $10 1861 Demand Note Fine, Damaged. An interesting note, which likely started life as a New York, Philadelphia or Boston Demand Note. The identifying block at the lower left corner has been cut from what we can only presume to have been a badly damaged $10 Cincinnati Demand Note and glued down in the lower left corner of this note. In an attempt to disguise the work, a piece of yet a third $10 Demand Note was pasted to the back as a cover up. The work is relatively crude and rather easily detectable. The end result is that we have not an extremely rare Cincinnati Ten, but rather a damaged Demand Note that faces up rather nicely and appears to be a Cincinnati Ten if you squint and look quickly. The value is difficult to assess, be we expect that someone will want this for about . . .

Auction 310 | Lot 18203 » Legal Tender Notes » Legal Tender Notes

Fr. 16 $1 1862 Legal Tender Superb Gem New. This beauty has incredible margins for the type, with three jumbo margins and a fourth margin that is small only by comparison, as the smallest margin on this note is broader than the broadest margin on most examples of this design. The colors are spectacular, and the note even has its original embossing, a feature that is seldom seen on this early type. The unusually wide top margin contains the green plate number 39. A lovely pice of currency.

Auction 310 | Lot 18205 » Legal Tender Notes » Legal Tender Notes

Fr. 16 $1 1862 Legal Tender Very Choice New. A fresh original example with good color and perfect paper embossing. If the centering were just a touch better, the note would be a perfect Gem. As it is, it's rather close to that grade, as the centering, although tight at the bottom right, is far better than typical for this issue.

Fr. 16 $1 1862 Legal Tender Choice New. There's just a trace of handling at the upper right on this very nice example of our earliest $1 bill. The colors are strong and the margins are far better than normally seen for this issue. It's a very nice example that comes close to the full Gem grade.

Fr. 16 $1 1862 Legal Tender Choice New. The colors are fully bright on this flashy example of our earliest One Dollar bill. The note has all its original embossing and margins that, although quite close in places, never touch the design. The thin margins are the only respect in which this note is not Superb.
