Alvarado, TX - $20 1902 Date Back Fr. 644 The First NB Ch. # (S)3644
A new discovery from a town which was missing from all of the great Texas collections ever offered at public sale, including Everson, Irish and Ivy. Only two notes are listed in the census from this tiny Johnson County community, and one of those two is locked up in the Moody Foundation holdings. While this piece is quite well circulated and displays some light staining and a few nicks and splits, it is a solid piece overall and has retained its pretty blue pen signatures. If rarity and desirability are any guide here, the fortunate Texas collector who obtains a new town tonight will likely pay...

Lancaster, OH - $100 1902 Date Back Fr. 691 The Lancaster NB Ch. #(M)9547
A nice Fine signed by both the assistant cashier and the vice president of this Fairfield County institution. We've sold this problem-free note once before, in our September, 2002 Greater Cincinnati Numismatic Exposition auction, where it went for $977.50. With the growing realization that $100 Third Charter notes are far scarcer than once believed, it should surpass that result tonight.

Fr. 1 $5 1861 Demand Note Fine. This solid Fine example looks attractive and problem-free at first glance on the face, but the back reveals an old repair where the upper right corner was detached and reattached. The left end shows a small edge split repair, as well. With a little expert restoration, this early "Greenback" would look much better.

Fr. 2 $5 1861 Demand Note Choice Extremely Fine. One of the finest $5 Demand Notes we have had the pleasure of handling. The note has a total of four folds, but each of them needs to be searched for before they can be found. The margins are incredible for the type, the colors are absolutely perfect, and the note has signatures that give the appearance of having just been scribed. This cataloger has always considered Demand Notes to be one of the most interesting and one of the most undervalued major areas of U.S. Currency. There are very few examples of this type that come anywhere near this piece for condition and yet it will not reach very far into five figures.

Fr. 3 $5 1861 Demand Note Extremely Fine. A lovely Boston Demand note with strong signatures, great eye appeal, and margins all the way around. The margins, in fact, are quite large all the way around, except for one small area around the top where it dips near the frameline, but does not touch it. The boldly printed back is beautifully centered and the note has the visual appeal of an XF or better piece. Even when Jim O'Neal purchased circulated notes, he had a great eye for quality. This is just such a note where the eye appeal far exceeds the technical grade. When that is the case, value generally far exceeds the technically expected price.

Fr. 8 $10 1861 Demand Note Choice Very Fine. The technical grade belies the attractiveness of this Demand note. The margins are extraordinary for the type, and the note is utterly without a flaw save for the normal circulation one would expect for the grade. It's free of soil, with perfect color, and the eye appeal of an XF or better note. Only about three dozen Fr. 8's are known--most considerably lower grade than this, and most of the other examples with less eye appeal than this note. A perenially undervalued type in this cataloger's opinion.

Fr. 8 $10 1861 Demand Note Very Fine. A really nice $10 Demand Note that has obviously circulated, but has remained totally free of problems. The pen signatures are strong and all the colors, both face and back, are as bright as the day the note was printed. It is also unusually, nicely margined for a Demand Note, with the margins clear of the frame line at all points. Although prices have increased recently this type has historically been and continues to be the most undervalued area of Federal currency in this cataloger's opinion. We sold this note twice before - most recently five years ago when it realized $9,625.

Fr. 11 $20 1861 Demand Note Very Fine. An intriguing piece which is a genuine but unsigned $20 Demand Note with eight small punch cancels at the signature blocks. It's printed on the normal paper from the regular plates, and is definitely not a Proof or Specimen note, but rather a regularly issued note that was neither overprinted with the serial number and red seal nor signed. It was likely produced as some sort of presentation piece. We sold this note once before, several years ago, with an estimate of $25,000-up. It ran considerably past there in active floor bidding, ending at $34,500. This ranks among the top three $20 Demand Notes in grade, as the colors and paper quality are exceptional. The note is problem-free save for a scattering of tiny pinholes, which affect nothing.

Fr. 16 $1 1862 Legal Tender Superb Gem New. Broad even margins, beautifully bright colors and great paper originality are all immediately apparent on this lovely example of our Nation's first $1 bill. This is a common note in most grades but is seldom available as a real gem. The red seal color on this note is incredibly bright which is rather unusual for this type. This beauty has everything it takes to please the fussiest of collectors.

Fr. 16 $1 1862 Legal Tender Choice New. An exceptionally bright example of this design type, with a deep red treasury seal. The paper surfaces are as pristinely original as the day this note left the printing press and the embossing is deep and full. The only thing keeping this lovely note from the Gem classification is the fact that the lower margin narrows a bit at left.

Fr. 16 $1 1862 Legal Tender Extremely Fine. This issue all too often comes with one margin or another trimmed close to the design. That is not the case here, as this premium example enjoys unusually broad margins all around and also benefits from the aesthetic appeal of an atypically brilliant red in the treasury seal. Perhaps the only distractions are a tiny pinhole in the upper margin and an as-made green ink drop in the otherwise flawless treasury seal. The several folds are all fairly light and the paper clearly has not been molested or misguided by efforts to enhance its original surfaces.

Fr. 18 $1 1869 Legal Tender Superb Gem New. A Gem specimen with broad margins, bright colors, and original embossing. The Rainbow design, so-called because of the wide array of colors on the face, has always been admired by collectors as one of the most aesthetically pleasing designs ever produced by the United States. This splendid example should find a home in a nice high grade type set. Relatively common up through the Choice grade but very illusive this perfect.
