March 2017 PCDA Spring Auction > Session 2, March 4 @ 6:30 PM (CT) - US Notes - 2017 PCDA Spring Auction


Lot #700 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
CT-205 6 Pence June 19, 1776 Uncancelled
Just a beautiful uncancelled Colonial note that has great paper quality and the look of a much better grade.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 58   
Lot #701 - Colonial Currency > Delaware - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
DE-52 20 Shillings March 1, 1758
Although this note is pretty low grade with heavy center fold restorations, it is still a highly sought after Benjamin Franklin printed note. This March issue is much scarcer. In the past year few months we have seen an Apparent VF 20 sell for $1,880.
Grade: VG   
Lot #702 - Colonial Currency > Delaware - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
DE-68 20 Shillings June 1, 1759
A trio of bold signatures remain on this better Colonial note that was printed by Benjamin Franklin. PCGS notes some edge splits, ink stains and small paper pulls. In our Fall PCDA sale we sold a 15 shilling note, graded 15 Apparent, for close to $500 and that note was far less eye appealing than this one.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 12   
Lot #703 - Colonial Currency > Delaware - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
DE-91 10 Shillings May 1, 1777
Broad margins and sharp printing quality are noted on this better 1777 Delaware note. Signed by Clarke and Lockwood.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 53 PPQ   
Lot #704 - Colonial Currency > Georgia - ($ 1,350.00 - $ 1,850.00)
GA-92 $15 1777 No Resolution Date
Blue seal with Millstone on Palm Tree. Five bold signatures and above-average margins are seen on this much scarcer denomination Georgia Colonial. PCGS has noted minor restorations and paper toning, neither of which are particularly distracting. The Newman sale from a couple of months ago had an inferior PCGS Apparent VF 30 transcend the $1,000 barrier.
Grade: PCGS Apparent XF 45   
Lot #705 - Colonial Currency > Georgia - ($ 900.00 - $ 1,300.00)
GA-122 $20 May 4, 1778
Well embossed Rattlesnake vignette seen at lower right with bold red State of Georgia in cartouche at left. Wide margins and five bold signatures only add to this note's appeal. PMG notes tears, paper pull, minor rust, all of which are pretty much in one area at top center.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 50 Net   
Lot #706 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
MA-280 $3 May 5, 1780 Uncancelled
A very common later issue Massachusetts Colonial when seen with the typical hole or wedge cancel. Uncancelled examples are actually quite scarce, particularly in higher grades, and the price required to obtain one appears to be continually increasing.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 53   
Lot #707 - Colonial Currency > New Hampshire - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
NH-183 $5 April 29, 1780
This is the finest example to date to be graded by either service, as PCGS has graded nothing above XF-40. PMG mentions small tears on back, and are barely noticed along the punch-cancel at center.
Grade: PMG Ch Abt. UNC 58   
Lot #708 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 325.00 - $ 575.00)
NJ-176 18 Pence March 25, 1776
Jumbo margins are seen along the top and bottom of this riveting New Jersey Colonial.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #709 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
NY-196 4 Shillings March 5, 1776 Water Works
A trio of huge margins are found on this high grade Water Works note. We just saw an iffy PCGS New 61 sell for around $375.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #710 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
NY-205 $10 August 13, 1776
The $10 notes from this issue are always intriguing due to the large elephant vignette on the back. Superbly signed and numbered and with a fold count that would indicate a better grade. Plenty desirable in VF condition but with few reaching the XF or better grade level. We have recently seen a VF 35 go beyond the $400 mark.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #711 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 1,200.00 - $ 1,800.00)
NC-176 $5 August 8, 1778
Tied for Top Pop at both services. An exceptionally high grade example from this later North Carolina issue. It falls just short of the Gem grade and is more than deserving of that high mark. A four-figure note to be sure.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ   
Lot #712 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
NC-176d $5 August 8, 1778
The evocative motto "The Rising States" is found on this note. Fully ornamented due to broader margins. Net graded because of being previously mounted on the back.
Grade: PMG UNC 62 Net   
Lot #713 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
PA-80 20 Shillings October 1, 1756
A lower grade example with tape repaired center fold, tears, etc. These 1756 Ben Franklin notes are much scarcer and although the back nature print is muddied we can still easily see "Printed by B. Franklin and D. Hall 1756."
Grade: VG   
Lot #714 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
PA-111 15 Shillings May 1, 1760
Low serial #32. A much scarcer lower denomination note from this tough Ben Franklin issue. Most of the notes that we encounter are actually the 50 Shilling and 5 Pound high denomination notes. PCGS notes there are splits, tape repair, minor paper pulls and adhesive remnants on face.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 15   
Lot #715 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
PA-113 50 Shillings May 1, 1760
Signatures of Eddy, Morrison and Parker. A well printed red and black high denomination note with edge splits, repairs, and minor stains. A pretty note with bold "Printed by B. Franklin" seen on back. We just saw an example in this same grade sell for about $650.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 12   
Lot #716 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
PA-157 2 Shillings 6 Pence April 3, 1772 John Morton
Signed by Morton, Sellers and Humphreys. John Morton was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and his notes are much more valuable than they would be otherwise. His signature on this note is really quite bold. PCGS cites an edge split at bottom and small edge tears.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 15   
Lot #717 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
PA-157 2 Shillings 6 Pence April 3, 1772
Gems from this 1772 issue are really scarce and even a nice near Gem is pretty tough to find. The current offering has very boldly accomplished signatures and serial number. It is bright and attractive with good margins for the type.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64   
Lot #718 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
PA-181 3 Pence October 25, 1775
Signed by Abel Evans. A pristine small change note that looks like a Gem to me.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ   
Lot #719 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 350.00 - $ 550.00)
PA-241 3 Pence April 20, 1781
Superior paper quality and large margins give this small change note powerful visual impact. The 1781 issue is certainly scarcer than most of the 1770s series.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 53 EPQ   
Lot #720 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
PA-242 6 Pence April 20, 1781
Behemoth margins are found on this impressive Dunlap note. We sold a PCGS 58 PPQ of this denomination in our Fall PCDA sale for $470.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 55 PPQ   
Lot #721 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
PA-247 2 Shillings 6 Pence April 20, 1781
Scarce later Dunlap-printed series. Well accomplished red signature and serial number. Superb grade as it is Top Pop at both services. Wonderfully margined and with superior aesthetic appeal. A great note destined for a great Colonial Currency collection.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 55   
Lot #722 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
SC-145/147 2 Shilling 6 Pence, 5 Shilling April 10, 1778 Uncut Vertical Pair
PCGS notes some minor paper thins, stains and small holes. This is a very well margined vertical pair that has good signatures and good detail.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Abt. New 50   
Lot #723 - Continental Currency - ($ 900.00 - $ 1,300.00)
CC-19 $1/6 February 17, 1776
A boldly printed and wonderfully penned example of the scarcest denomination of the Fugio fractional Continentals. A minor stain is seen at the top that affects little. The note faces up closer to the AU grade with a horizontal center fold. Well detailed Fugio sundial with motto "Mind Your Business" seen at right. Cutesy serial #970098 noted.
Grade: PCGS Apparent XF 40   
Lot #724 - Continental Currency - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
CC-47 $2 November 2, 1776
A better denomination from this Continental emission. Lightly circulated and with a good look for the grade. Decent AU notes hover around the thousand dollar mark and this pleasing XF/AU should not finish too far behind.
Grade: PMG XF 45   
Lot #725 - Continental Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
CC-82 $20 September 26, 1778 Blue Counterfeit Detector
One of the nicer looking blue detectors that we have seen from this more available later issues. It is flawless with sizeable margins and deeply embossed surfaces.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ   
Lot #726 - Continental Currency - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
CC-86 $60 September 26, 1778 Contemporary Counterfeit
A contemporary counterfeit where the back design gives away its identity. These have always sold at prices comparable to legitimately issued notes.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63 EPQ   
Lot #727 - Continental Currency - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
CC-97 $50 January 14, 1779
A couple of wide margins are seen on this final emission Continental. Signed by Gray and Helm.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 50   
Lot #728 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Alabama - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Eufaula Eastern Bank of Alabama $1 Proprietary Proof
Haxby 15-G2a. This is the highest graded example we have seen of this Eastern Bank Proprietary Proof. The red at the upper corners has shifted somewhat so as to not be completely encircling the die counters.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ   
Lot #729 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Arkansas - ($ 700.00 - $ 1,400.00)
Little Rock Little Rock Post Office 10˘
Rothert 427-1. Signed by William Pope and bearing low serial #10. Pope was the Postmaster in town from 1849-1855 and again from 1861-1864, the period during which this note was issued. The obligation states "Redeemable in Confederate Money, in sums of $20, when presented at the Post Office." This was the lowest denomination issued. PCGS notes minor stains and pinholes. This is listed as Rarity-7 in the Rothert reference and when these do appear, which isn't very often, they sell for several hundred dollars.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 25   
Lot #730 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > District of Columbia - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Georgetown Bank of Commerce $1
Haxby 70-G12b. June 10, 1862. Broadly margined and fully framed on all sides. Splendid green inks visually impact this note with a central bald eagle vignette and a portrait of Lincoln at lower left. PCGS notes some minor stains which should not bother anybody. The Newman note sold for almost $500 and graded PCGS Fine 12, barely making that grade. This is a solid VF and is, no doubt, one of the nicest, if not the nicest, example you will be able to locate for your collection. A rare note in a rare grade means this should realize a rare price.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 25   
Lot #731 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > District of Columbia - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Washington Bullion Bank $3 Remainder
Haxby 170-G24a. July 4, 1862. A somewhat better note on the Bullion Bank with this being just about the only example we have seen in this grade. It has great margins on all sides and the centering is dead on. The orange frame on the front and the bold green security design on the back make this a very popular type. The evocative Independence Day date only augments one's patriotic sense of ownership.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ   
Lot #732 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > District of Columbia - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Washington Bullion Bank $5
Haxby 170-G8a. Oct. 30, 1861. The $5 and $10 notes on this bank were much scarcer than the lower denomination remainders. Those were printed with the green back design whereas this has a blank back and was printed by the National Bank Note Co. It has full margins on all sides and it has some of the richest ink colors that we have seen on this type. Fully issued with partially handwritten date and handwritten serial number. Bainbridge and Thompson signed as cashier and president below. Circular portrait of Washington at lower right and Washington's tomb at Mount Vernon seen at upper left. Elegantly clad women seen at center below curving bank title. They do not get much nicer than this and the note is 100% original and looks the part of a much better grade.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 55 PPQ   
Lot #733 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Florida - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Tallahassee Tallahassee Rail Road Co. $2 Remainder
Benice 111. Bold green inks highlight the "TWO" protector as well as the die counters, giving this note a superb look. Ch. CU is about as good of a grade as you will find on these.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63 EPQ   
Lot #734 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Georgia - ($ 250.00 - $ 500.00)
Savannah Bank of the State of Georgia $2
Haxby 330-G30. Hole punch cancelled proof that is slightly toned, but evenly centered. Mounted on card. PCGS notes: minor stains.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 50 Apparent   
Lot #735 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Georgia - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Savannah Merchants & Planters Bank $100
Haxby 315-G16b. June 1, 1860. An exemplary note from this Georgia issue that has bright paper and great color. Typically seen in Fine/VF grade, we do not find many at this level. It is one of the nicest we have ever seen, even nicer than the PCGS AU 55 that realized over $800 in 2014.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58   
Lot #736 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Illinois - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Nauvoo Nauvoo Housing Association $50
Rust 30. Feb. 11, 1841. When the Mormons left Missouri they landed in Nauvoo, IL. This entitles the bearer to one share in the Mormon sponsored hotel in Nauvoo. Signed by John Miller as Secretary and George Miller as President. One of the prettiest we have seen as it is bright, well signed and fully margined. What it takes to get a Gem grade is anyone's guess.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ   
Lot #737 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Illinois - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Shawnee Town Bank of Illinois $3 Proof
Haxby 740-G48. Printed by C. Toppan & Co., Philadelphia. A sensational quality example of this better denomination. A rare note in any grade but especially so at this grade level.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ   
Lot #738 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Iowa - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Burlington State Bank of Iowa $1
This pre-Civil War State Bank of Iowa note is genuine and this is the only example we have seen for this town. Low grade with splits, tears and tape repairs but where will you find another. It faces up very well for the grade.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Good 4   
Lot #739 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Louisiana - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
New Orleans Cook & Brother $2
March 15, 1862. A Civil War dated example of the largest rifle and carbine manufacturer in the entire Confederacy. Printed on yellow paper and signed by both Cook and Brother. The back is inverted as always. Rifles seen at left. If not the nicest certainly one of the very nicest we have ever seen. The Newman example was graded PCGS VF 30 and realized close to $500. That note cannot hold a candle to this glorious piece.
Grade: PCGS XF 40 PPQ   
Lot #740 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Maryland - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Baltimore American Bank $1 Proprietary Proof
Haxby 10-G2a. Stunning green "ONE" protector is found below central harbor scene vignette and portrait of Daniel Webster at lower right. One of the highest graded we have encountered and well deserving of the grade.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ   
Lot #741 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Maryland - ($ 600.00 - $ 800.00)
Baltimore Bank of Maryland $500
A seldom seen $500 from Baltimore that has excellent color and seven punch-hole cancels. They say it's a remainder and that it has internal repairs. I would say it's poorly closed pinholes. A rarely seen denomination. PMG notes: punch hole cancelled, internal repairs.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 55 Net   
Lot #742 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Missouri - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
St. Louis Exchange Bank of St. Louis $5 Proof
Haxby 10-G38a. Printed by Bald, Cousland & Co. Philadelphia and New York. Full length orange lathe tint. "Pilot Knob" with train and wagon at center. Exceptional near Gem grade and one of the nicest we have seen.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64   
Lot #743 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New Hampshire - ($ 450.00 - $ 650.00)
Rochester Farmers & Mechanics $3 Remainder
Haxby NH-300 G6c. Great condition for a remainder with this denomination only having been offered a handful of times in recent years.
Grade: PCGS Superb Gem New 67 PPQ   
Lot #744 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New Jersey - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Camden Farmers & Mechanics Bank $10 Proof
Haxby 60-G10a. A robustly printed, bright proof that has red "TEN" protector at bottom center. The central vignette shows the mechanics in the foreground and the farmers in the background. A hinge remnant has been spotted on the back corner but the note itself looks fully uncirculated.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Abt. New 58   
Lot #745 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New Jersey - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Cape May C.H. American Exchange Bank $1 Proof
Haxby 85-G2. HPC. A superb example that looks a bit better than just Ch. New. A really bright proof with such depth of printing as to almost produce a cameo effect. Dated Jan. 1, 1852. Black-and-white proof without red protector. One of the most charming beach towns that the East Coast has to offer.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ   
Lot #746 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New Jersey - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Dover Union Bank at Dover $1 Proof
Haxby 110-G8. An impressive black-and-white proof with central vignette of Liberty resting on shield. Intricate scroll work is seen throughout. Printed on India paper and mounted to card stock. Five small POCs seen along the bottom signature lines. A rare proof in any grade but at this elite position along the grading spectrum a real prize.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #747 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New Jersey - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Freehold Freehold Banking Co. $1 Proof
Haxby 155-UNL. This better low denomination proof seems to appear very infrequently. It is about as nice as it could possibly be and it is unlisted in Haxby.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #748 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New Jersey - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
Freehold Monmouth Bank $2
A lovely Deuce from Freehold with great originality but also some aging. PMG notes: foreign substance, toned.
Grade: PMG Ch. XF 45 Net   
Lot #749 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New Jersey - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Freehold Freehold Banking Co. $50 Proof
Haxby 155-G14a. A very scarce $50 proof with bright, white paper and bold red "FIFTY" protector. The margins and overall eye appeal are indicative of a much better grade. The Norman Buckman collection had an example, without protector, sell for about $500 in a much lesser PCGS New 61 PPQ holder.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #750 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New Jersey - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Freehold Freehold Banking Co. $100 Proof
Haxby 155-G16a. A coveted $100 proof on the Freehold Banking Co. with bold "100" protector at bottom center. PCGS notes repaired edge tears and minor damage but they do little to hinder the appearance of this proof.
Grade: PCGS Apparent New 62   
Lot #751 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New York - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
New York Continental Bank $2 Proof
Haxby 1550-G4. A rare Proof in an unheard of state of preservation. Evocative vignettes are seen throughout and which are flanked by circular portraits at each side beneath. The Continental Bank became the First Continental Bank in 1865. We have only seen a couple others, with the $5 Proof in the Newman collection selling for $2820. That note was in AU condition and this example is vastly superior.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ   
Lot #752 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New York - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
New York Knickerbocker Bank $5 Proof
Haxby 1675-G8a. This bank did not last long, opening in 1851 and already out of business by 1854. Printed on white paper with good margins and excellent eye appeal. The central vignette is presumably of housing in New York City at that time. With the visage of utter civility, Father Knickerbocker seated at right, leaning on his cane and smoking a pipe. The $2 Proof is a Santa Claus note so this denomination is one of your only real chances of ownership.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #753 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New York - ($ 450.00 - $ 850.00)
New York Phenix Bank $2 Proof
Haxby 1880-G102. A more ornate style than the examples we so commonly see. On this note, the Phenix has risen to the top and is coming out of the flames. Intricate scrollwork seen at right with a couple of cut-out cancels at the signature lines. A very rare early Proof type with this particular note originally seen in a Stacks sale a dozen years ago.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #754 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Chambersburg Bank of Chambersburg $50 Proof
Haxby 60-G52. Printed by Danforth, Bald & Co., Philadelphia & New York. Although we do see these from time to time this is still a better high denomination proof in a really good grade. The Ch. New grade seems a little suspicious as this note faces up like a Gem all day long.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #755 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Philadelphia Bank of North Liberties $1
470-G124. A wonderful Proof issued June 19, 1841 with the outstanding vignette of the Bald Eagle. On India paper with six penciled signatures. There is a small taped split.
Grade: CU   
Lot #756 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 650.00 - $ 950.00)
Philadelphia Bank of the United States $1000
Haxby 3-G100. Dec. 15, 1840. But for some ink burn noted by PMG, this is actually a pretty high grade example of this very popular note.
Grade: PMG UNC 62 Net   
Lot #757 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Philadelphia City Bank $500
A $500 Proof with a red counter. Featuring a male with excessive eyebrows in the center flanked by George Washington and a Revolutionary soldier. Some flaws.
Grade: XF   
Lot #758 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Philadelphia Commonwealth Bank $10
This is the Gem India Proof $10 with an orange tint and red counter. Center vignette is of two women spinning yarn. Amazing color and quality.
Grade: Gem Proof   
Lot #759 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Philadelphia Commonwealth Bank $10 Proof
Haxby 415-G10a. A couple of very minor tears have been spotted from the HPCs. Otherwise a really pretty proof that looks like a near Gem. An orange and black proof with white "TEN" outlined.
Grade: PMG Ch. Abt. UNC 58   
Lot #760 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Philadelphia Commonwealth Bank $20
A beautiful, full color Proof on India paper with a red counter. Not backed and a pristine Gem. The note has a central vignette of Faust, Guttenberg and Shoeffer.
Grade: Gem CU   
Lot #761 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Philadelphia Farmers & Mechanics Bank $5 Proof
Haxby 430-G24. SENC. A more challenging Proof to obtain in any grade but simply never seen this nice. The Kensington Collection example was a mere Ch. CU Proof that realized over $650. This unflappable, near Superb Gem should bring multiples of that figure.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #762 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Philadelphia Manufacturers & Mechanics Bank $10
A gorgeous Proof on India paper with vignettes of timber cutters and cattle. There is an ABNC stamp on the back.
Grade: Ch. CU   
Lot #763 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Philadelphia Philadelphia Bank $10 Proof
Haxby 485-G162. A superlative black-and-white proof with deeply printed devices boldly contrasted upon bright, white paper. Although we do see Proofs from this bank, they rarely are in this state of preservation.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ   
Lot #764 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 350.00 - $ 600.00)
Tioga County Bank $5
Great color and originality with three major vignettes of a girl, a man and a family. Red overprint and just lovely. Pinhole.
Grade: Proof   
Lot #765 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Pennsylvania - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Tioga County Bank $5

In recent years a couple have surfaced at auction that were in this league. They were graded PCGS Apparent 63, cut cancel due to ink erosion and the most recent one just sold for over $1,750. This utterly problem free example should crush that valuation on its way to an advanced Texas collection.

Mustard yellow paper color is noticed on this piece that was printed by the Milwaukee Lithograph & Engraving Co. A type that typically reaches the lower end VF grades but the only one we have seen at this grade. Striking in appearance with workmanlike vignettes of a miner and a blacksmith.

Fr. 1231 5˘ First Issue
In fifty years I have not seen a no monogram straight edge note with gargantuan margins like this on all sides. It is printed on the bright yellow paper that you would expect and the impression of the inks into the paper is nothing short of astounding. If you plan on bidding on this as if it were a typical "64" then you won't even make it out of the starting gate.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64   
Lot #788 - Fractional Currency - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 1235 5˘ Second Issue
Unlike so many of these 5˘ fiber paper notes, this one has good margins and centering. Most of these have trimmed margins and are badly off-center. PCGS notes some mounting remnants on the back, where we also notice well detailed surcharges.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Abt. New 55   
Lot #789 - Fractional Currency - ($ 700.00 - $ 1,400.00)
Fr. 1242 10˘ First Issue
The oft-used term "boardwalk margins" most definitely applies to this stunning Fractional. You would be hard pressed to find an example with better margins or centering. We see many Gem/PQ examples of these first issue notes that leave your head scratching. This note presents an alternate quandary; why is it only a 66.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66   
Lot #790 - Fractional Currency - ($ 900.00 - $ 1,300.00)
Fr. 1248 10˘ Second Issue
A solid circulated example of this much better Fractional number that has "0-63" surcharges on the back. As is almost always the case with this variety, this note has a tight margin but its margins are superior to many we see. We just saw a PCGS VF 30 sell for about $1,000 a couple of months ago.

Fr. 1254 10˘ Third Issue
A much better number with Jeffries and Spinner signatures hand-signed instead of with the usual facsimile signatures. Three broad margins and an average fourth validate the Very Ch. CU grade. Recently a PMG 64 with mounting stains sold for over $400. This is a variety that is rarely encountered as a Gem.

Lot #795 - Fractional Currency - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 1299 25˘ Third Issue
The solid surcharge Fessenden notes were printed on fiber paper. The paper cracked very easily when folded which explains why most of these are damaged. This one is no exception with a corner severed and tape repaired, minor stains, and a small edge nick. The AU grade makes this one of the nicer examples that you will find.

Lot #796 - Fractional Currency - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 1299 25˘ Third Issue

Lot #797 - Fractional Currency - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)

The census on this much scarcer fiber paper Fractional stands somewhere in the teens. Virtually all of these have some type of damage as they were brittle and cracked very easily. There are some small internal and edge splits and tape repairs. Nonetheless a very appealing note that is much scarcer than the Fr. 1299 with no position indicator. In our summer sale, we just sold a PCGS Apparent XF 45 for over $2,000. We just sold another example in this same grade for over $1,400.

A much scarcer red back Spinner note with both "1" and "a" position indicators, meaning there was only one example per sheet of 12 notes. A handsome piece with bright inks and deep embossing. When these sell in this grade in recent years, the price tag always seems to be at least several hundred dollars.

Fr. 1332 50˘ Third Issue
A scarce "1" and "a" green back Spinner note that is many times scarcer than the Fr. 1331 type note. Only a tight right margin limits the grade on this eye appealing note. Rare at the Gem grade level. Auction records show that in the past half dozen years the supply of Ch. CU examples has totally dried up. An excellent opportunity to obtain a quality note.

Fr. 1359 50˘ Third Issue
A better "1" and "a" Justice note with green back and no surcharges. Most of these are found in AU and CU grades so pricing pressure pushes up a nice VF note to the upper hundreds of dollars. This piece is seen with far better margins than what we typically see on high grade pieces.
Grade: PMG VF 25 EPQ   
Lot #806 - Fractional Currency - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 1367 50˘ Third Issue
Really a very scarce green back Justice note with probably fewer than 20 known in all grades. No CU notes are known and even AU and XF notes are legitimately rare. When collectors want a piece for their collections they have to settle for a F/VF note, often plagued with problems. PMG notes discoloration and that the right end has been repaired and reconstructed. A great note and probably one of the ten scarcest fractional numbers.

Lot #811 - Fractional Currency - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Adolph Pearl 10˘ Fractional Look-alike
An exceptional Fractional look-alike which almost perfectly mimics the Third Issue 10˘ note. An ad note issued by "Adolph Pearl....Manufacturer of Tobacco" with "United States Tobacco Currency" surrounding the central portrait. It even bears facsimile signatures at the bottom of Adolph Pearl. Printed by Ferd. Mayer & Sons 96 Fulton St. New York. Some stains have been noted by PCGS and the back is blank. The only other ad note of this type that we can recall is that of a druggist/florist named A.M. Knowlson of Troy, NY. Most Fractional mimics are of 25˘ and 50˘ backs. We have seen a couple others of this 10˘ type but that were not as fully convincing as a mimic as this one is. Most recently the Newman collection had a similar example on Elk Grove, IL, grading VF 20, which sold for almost $750.

Chambliss lists this at $7,000 in CU. Auction records are pretty thin but the 67 PPQ note just sold a couple of months ago for $3,525. Do not expect too much less for this lovely item.

Series 481 5˘, 10˘, 25˘, 50˘ & $1 6/20/51-5/25/54
First printing. Where could you, how could you, have you ever seen such a set? These are a few of the phrases I thought of when trying to understand how rare these are and where they must has been. There is no $10 and the $1 is a '58'. The amazing grades should push the price of this set with the top three denominations being '67', '66', '65 EPQ'. Presumably near the top in quality. This five piece lot grades: 5˘ Ch. UNC 64; 10˘ Ch. UNC 64 EPQ; 25˘ Superb Gem UNC 67 EPQ; 50˘ Gem UNC 66 EPQ; $1 Gem UNC 65 EPQ.

Lot #836 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 1,750.00 - $ 3,250.00)
Series 521 10˘ 5/25/54 - 5/27/58 Replacement
Some of the notes from these issues rival the artistic beauty of many large type notes. This replacement is seen in an astounding state of preservation. The Green Sheet lists this replacement at $1,300 in AU with no higher grade given.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ   
Lot #837 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)

Lot #838 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Series 521 $10 5/25/54 - 5/27/58
For some reason it seems that an overwhelming majority of the $10 notes we see from this series are either AU or Gem. The visual appeal of this piece tends toward the latter. Green Sheet lists this at $410 in AU 50.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 55   
Lot #839 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)

Lot #840 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Series 541 $1 5/27/58 - 5/28/61 Replacement
Scarcer second printing. Flipper serial #F00668660. An evenly circulated VF which is the grade level that we seem to find most of these. The Green Sheet is $425 in VF 20 which is right about where the prices realized show they are worth but with the scarcer second printing this should be worth more.
Grade: PMG VF 20   
Lot #841 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Series 641 50˘ 8/31/65 - 10/21/68 Replacement
Only one better at either service for this bright and colorful later issue replacement. While we do see some of these in high grade the only other recent auction record we can find at this same grade level was a scarcer second printing note that sold for $2,350 a couple of years ago.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ

Series 641 $10 8/31/65 - 10/21/68 Replacement
Top Pop at both grading services. A $10 MPC replacement note that is not scarce in absolute terms but which is quite rare at this grade level. If you want a F/VF example you have your pick. If you want the best then this is it. The Green Sheet lists this at $1,875 in Ch. CU 63 with nothing better. The only other auction result we are finding at this level was a Ch. CU 63PPQ note that brought over $2,000 several years ago.

Series 661 $1 10/21/68 - 8/11/69 Replacement
Vivacious blue and violet hues leave one awestruck by its beauty. A near Gem replacement that certainly looks as nice as most Gems we have seen. The Green Sheet is $310 in Ch. CU.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ   
Lot #846 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Series 661 $20 10/21/68 - 8/11/69
Very scarce at this grade level as evidenced by the Green Sheet valuation of $850 in Ch. CU 63 and $1,000 in Gem 65. Over the years we have seen a couple of Gems sell for healthy four-figure prices and this is just slightly below that level of quality.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64   
Lot #847 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Series 681 $1 8/11/69-10/7/70 Replacement
A real quality replacement note from this later MPC series. The margins are huge and the paper is as bright and fresh as the day it was printed. The Green Sheet price of $460 in Ch. CU 63 should be handily surpassed by this premium piece.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ   
Lot #848 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Series 681 $10 8/11/69-10/7/70 Replacement
PCGS has yet to grade one of these rare replacements with PMG only having seen two others. Chambliss states there are 21 known but they rarely ever show up at auction. The only better one graded was a PMG VF 30. The Green Sheet lists this at $550 in VF 20 but when will you find another?

Lot #851 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Series 691 $10 Unissued
Second printing. Tied for Top Pop at PMG and well deserving of any accolades it receives. This same note sold for over $2,000 in the 2011 Central States sale and it would not surprise us to see it make a run at that price once again.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ   
Lot #852 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Series 692 $10 10/7/70 - 3/15/73 Replacement
One of only three graded at both services combined and one of perhaps a dozen known. A rare Indian Chief replacement note with some very minor rust noted on the back. It faces up wonderfully and is only bested in the Pop Report by a PMG 35. The only other auction record that we see was from two years ago when a rather unsavory PMG 15 Net with a plethora of problems sold for $1,762. This note is so much better in virtually every way. The Green Sheet gives no values in any grade.
Grade: PMG VF 30   
Lot #853 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Series 692 $20 10/7/70 - 3/15/73 Replacement
Many of these Indian Chief $20 replacements were stapled at the left which is why the pinholes, minor rust comments are so prevalent for this type. Many of the examples we encounter are in the Fine/VF grade range, with a solid XF note actually representing a dramatic step up in quality. The Green Sheet lists this at $650 in XF.
Grade: PMG XF 40   
Lot #854 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 900.00 - $ 1,300.00)

Second printing. Portrait of Thomas Edison, inventor extraordinaire, seen at right. The consecutive note to this resides in a PCGS 67 PPQ holder and sold for over $1,000 a few years ago. A note that lists at $600 in Gem CU 65 but which is historically worth a bit more than that at this grade level.

A rare star with scant few examples known in any grade, although most tend to be less than VF. Several years ago there was a PMG 63 EPQ that realized about $10,000. This note will not reach the five-digit price level but four-figures is a virtual certainty.

Dark green seal. A quick look at the records shows that PMG seems to be passing out Gems of this number like they were candy. A PCGS Gem appears to be a far more difficult task to accomplish. This same note first sold a decade ago for over $500 and it should be worth plenty more this time around.

Light green seal. There are certainly plenty of high grade examples of this light green seal St. Louis note but they still always seem to find a happy new home. Even Newman had one, graded PCGS 64 PPQ, which sold for $470 less than a year ago. This note should bring a comparable realization.

Two beauties out of a cash hoard recently uncovered; centering is more than acceptable, but possibly wee bit off to receive a 65 at the services on a bad day. Book value of $275/each sounds about right. Two piece lot.

Here is most of a pack of the scarcest series of 1950 $50s, and only New York, Chicago and San Francisco issued this series. The census shows 29 serial numbers recorded but we have nearly a pack here. Maybe the others were stars but there are none here. Lot includes 3 graded 58 PPQ and 84 graded Ch. New 63 PPQ.

Fr. 2116-G $50 1969-B Chicago G-A
Quite a desirable note to begin with but especially so at this grade level. PMG has only graded one 66 EPQ and one other 65 EPQ. When these are offered they tend to sell for many hundreds of dollars. A note that will fit perfectly into any high grade small type set or FRN set.

Two piece error; the Bart reference lists lesser examples at $7,500 and categorizes this as a R-9 mistake, fully on par with double denominations, when in fact, these are rarer. This example is a failed splice, with the entire width of the back imprinted on sizing paper, which is not BEP stock. The inspectors should have removed this portion of the sheet and restarted the press. Their mistake is your fortune. Utterly amazing, as the embossing from the overprint punches through the void on the back. Despite a potential for a run away realization, we will be conservative with our estimate.

This gorgeous Brown Back had to be from the J.L. Irish Collection that we sold in June 1997. Records indicate that there is one note better and for decades it stayed in one collection. It made a shift but this name has traveled a different tight road with either one or two owners. This note is quality and everyone seems to understand the Territory of Hawaii. Excellent signatures of Cirl Brown, President and W. Hooper, Cashier. This is truly a great opportunity to handle this rarity in top condition and from a popular fantasy trip for many in the world.

This is a lovely, fresh UNC $10 Value Back from the group saved way back when. Likely this will grade '64' as there is too much bottom margin. Interestingly enough, this is a 'D' position note meaning the sheet was not a $10-10-10-20 but instead a $10-10-10-10, an interesting observation. Otherwise they were top notes from the A,B,C,A or D,E,F,B sheets. Almost all are 'D' position.

One of my favorites is the solid serial numbers on the back of a Brown Back, so cool. Let's face it, it's rare. This Cumberland County bank has only 19 notes reported and 14 are $5 Brown Backs, including two #1. That's great because a group of collectors will all enjoy how cool this is in nice condition and with excellent pen signatures. Only two notes of this quality have ever been available.

It is from heavily collected Lancaster County and bears the scarce Rosecrans-Morgan signature combination. These two served together for a mere 18 days in 1893 and only 20 banks bear this signature combination for $5 Brown Backs. Heritage sold a VF/XF for over $2,000 in 2010 and we sold a VF/XF for $1,610 in 2013. Clearly a four-figure price tag should be required to obtain it.
