Lot #45404 - Continental Currency - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
CC-7 $7 May 10, 1775
Notes from this first Continental emission are always in great demand. This lightly circulated note is well signed with vignette of a storm at sea. The motto translates "It will be calm."
Grade: PMG XF 40   
Lot #45405 - Continental Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
CC-14 $4 November 29, 1775
Boar charging spear vignette. Lightly circulated and seen with pleasing paper. The Newman note, graded AU 50 Apparent, topped the $500 figure just a few months ago.
Grade: AU   
Lot #45406 - Continental Currency - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
CC-18 $8 November 29, 1775
Signed by Ord and Clarkson. The motto is MAJORA MINORIBUS CONSONANT, which Newman translates as "The large colonies and the small colonies are in harmony." In their never-ending quest to delve into the minutiae, PMG has spotted two identical upper corner pinholes, with their combined circumference and area both equal to 8π angstroms (or angstroms squared). If you figured out that each pinhole has a radius of 2 angstroms in length, then move on to the next lot. If you have no idea what your cataloger is talking about, keep bidding.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63   
Lot #45407 - Continental Currency - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
CC-20 $1/3 February 17, 1776
These Fugio fractional denomination Continentals are always among the most popular type for the entire series. Boldly signed by Bramman. Some ink spots on the back. The printing quality shows every minute detail of the sundial and motto.
Grade: XF   
Lot #45408 - Continental Currency - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
CC-22 $2/3 February 17, 1776
A bold red serial number and signature of Sellers accentuate the positive attributes of this solid mid-grade Fugio fractional note. The sundial is very well detailed with "Mind Your Business" motto. Thirteen chain links joined together represent the Colonies in their united effort for independence.
Grade: PCGS VF 35   
Lot #45409 - Continental Currency - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
CC-27 $5 February 17, 1776
Signed by Masters and Morris. Emblem of Hand being pricked by thorns. A quarter folded example with good printing quality.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #45410 - Continental Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
CC-36 $6 May 9, 1776
A lightly circulated Continental with bold Coombe and Tuckniss signatures. Nearly fully framed and well printed. In the FUN sale, we just saw an AU 58 sell for over $500.
Grade: AU   
Lot #45411 - Continental Currency - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
CC-43 $6 July 22, 1776
Vignette of a beaver gnawing a tree. Latin motto PRESERVANDO, which Newman translates as "Perseverance." In January, we just saw a nice AU hit the $1,000 mark. This just goes to show how much tougher these July 1776 Continentals are.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #45412 - Continental Currency - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
CC-47 $2 November 2, 1776
Emblem of a hand holding a flail. Latin motto is TRIBULATIO DITAT, which Newman translates as "Affliction enriches." Continental Aces and Deuces are heavily collected by even the most casual collectors. The present offering should prove no exception.
Grade: PMG VF 25   
Lot #45413 - Continental Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
CC-60 $7 February 26, 1777
A fresh and well centered example of this odd denomination.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 53 PPQ   
Lot #45414 - Continental Currency - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
CC-64 $3 May 20, 1777
Commonly referred to as the first United States issue due to its placement in the top border cut. Vignette of an eagle fighting with a heron. Latin motto is EXITUS IN DUBIO EST, which Newman translates as "The outcome is in doubt." This May 1777 issue is second in scarcity only to the fabled Yorktown series of April 1778. Some of the lower denominations from this series, this one included in that group, are a lot scarcer than the high denominations from this issue. A reasonably priced example of a much better note.
Grade: PCGS VF 25   
Lot #45415 - Continental Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
CC-74 $7 April 11, 1778
Somewhat more heavily circulated than what we typically encounter but still from the scarcest of all the Continental emissions. This $7 denomination is one of the scarcer ones from this Yorktown series.
Grade: PMG Fine 12   
Lot #45416 - Continental Currency - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
CC-82 $20 September 26, 1778
A very well margined example from this second-to-last Continental emission. The signatures and serial number remain bold and the printing quality is impressive.
Grade: PMG XF 45 EPQ   
Lot #45417 - Continental Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
CC-84 $40 September 26, 1778
A crisp and well-signed example from this later Continental emission. This segment of the market has seen a healthy resurgence in the past year.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 53   
Lot #45418 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 450.00 - $ 850.00)
CT-187 40 Shillings June 1, 1775
Uncancelled. A trio of bright red signatures remain on this better Connecticut note that has incredibly bold printing. Nearly Top Pop at PCGS with only a single example graded a point better. The Newman note graded PCGS AU 58 PPQ and sold for $470.
Grade: PCGS New 62   
Lot #45419 - Colonial Currency > Maryland - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
MD-48 $8 January 1, 1767
Signed by Couden and Clapham. These 1767 notes are much more difficult to obtain and because the paper was thicker and crisper than the 1774 notes, they are almost always seen with tears, splits and other damage. VF 30 is an excellent grade and it certainly has a much better appearance than would be indicative of a typical VF. We sold an example in this exact grade for $450 at our last Kansas City sale. PCGS notes: repaired edge splits.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #45420 - Colonial Currency > Maryland - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
MD-51 $2/9 March 1, 1770
So far as we can tell Top Pop at both grading services. The only other remotely nice example we can find was the Newman note; a PCGS Apparent VF 30 that topped the $250 figure. This denomination was equal to one shilling. These fractional denomination notes were a workhorse in Colonial America and to find high-grade pieces is quite a laborious undertaking. This same note first sold for $575 as part of the incredibly underappreciated Midnight Ride collection a decade ago. We have little doubt it will approach the four-figure mark this evening. PMG notes: split repair.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 50 Net   
Lot #45421 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
MA-255 3 Pence October 16, 1778
Signed by Cranch. An advanced state of preservation is seen on this Codfish note which gives the appearance of a better grade. Bold pine tree vignette on back. The face plate was designed by Paul Revere and the back by Thomas Fleet. The Newman note graded PCGS Ch. New 63 and sold for close to $1,300. An excellent prize for any registry set type set.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63   
Lot #45422 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
MA-281 $4 May 5, 1780
Hole punch cancel noted by PCGS. It is actually an internal zig-zag spindle cancel with no paper loss. One of the absolutely nicest pieces we have seen for this entire colony.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #45423 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
NJ-126 3 Pounds October 20, 1758
A really scarce issue and not to be confused with the oft-seen May 1758 series. There are a couple of tears with one having a hinge over it. One of the nicest pieces we have seen of this tough type and better high denomination.
Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #45424 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 325.00 - $ 575.00)
NJ-149 30 Shillings April 8, 1762
Solid serial #5555. PCGS notes: mounting remnants on back, pinholes. But for an AU 53 this seems to be just about the highest graded example that we can find. A well signed Colonial that so often suffers from lots of condition issues.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #45425 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
NY-154 10 Pounds April 15, 1758
Excellent grade for this scarcer issue and particularly so with no problems mentioned. Over 80% of the notes from this series graded by PCGS have landed in apparent holders. This is a well detailed and fresh note with good eye appeal for the grade. The Newman note graded PCGS AU 53 Apparent and it took close to $2,000 to bring it home. Worthy of whatever it takes to obtain it.
Grade: PMG Ch. VF 35   
Lot #45426 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
NY-164 2 Pounds February 16, 1771
A significantly better denomination than the commonly seen 5 pound and 10 pound notes. PCGS notes: repaired edge splits. A bright note with superior margins and wondrous eye appeal. A stunning piece.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #45427 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
NY-166 5 Pounds Contemporary Counterfeit February 16, 1771
Contemporary counterfeits from this 1771 issue are far scarcer than their regularly issued counterparts. PCGS notes: repaired edge splits. A lovely example with great margins, bright paper, and clearly defined details.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #45428 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
NY-167 10 Pounds February 16, 1771
A really pretty example from this condition-challenged 1771 New York issue. In our last Kansas City sale, we sold a slightly better example for just under $400. XF is an excellent grade for this series. PCGS notes: edge splits, tears, and repairs.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #45429 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
NY-183 4 Shillings Water Works January 6, 1776
An exemplary piece for any high-grade Colonial type set. Stacks/Bowers sold this same note for $575 in early 2012.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ   
Lot #45430 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
NY-309 3 Pence February 20, 1790
Corporation of the City of New York. Printed by Hugh Gaine. Engraved signature of City Treasurer D. Phoenix. Most of these are in the VG-VF grade range and often with problems. This is a very high grade example. The Newman notes were well circulated and still realized $200-$300 each.
Grade: AU   
Lot #45431 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
NC-79 20 Shillings March 9, 1754
Crown vignette. Better large format North Carolina series. Hoard notes that exhibit all of the usual problems associated with this group. With that said, there is still plenty of value here and not something that should be overlooked. There will be no returns on this lot for any reason. Seven piece lot.
Grade: Good or better   
Lot #45432 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
NC-124 20 Shillings April 23, 1761
Bright and bearing decent signatures, this higher grade North Carolina Colonial is seen here in a state of preservation that we do not often encounter. PCGS notes: small repairs.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 50   
Lot #45433 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
NC-154c $1/8 Lion April 2, 1776
One of the most fascinating series in all of Colonial Currency, with 56 distinct varieties. Heavily collected with only three complete sets ever assembled. The fractional denomination notes are much scarcer as a general rule than the whole dollar notes. PCGS notes restorations but they are minimal at best. These April 2, 1776 notes wore out from use and eventually had to be replaced. The Newman note was a rather unsightly VG 10 with lots of problems, but that did not stop bidders from bringing it over the $400 figure.
Grade: PCGS VF 25   
Lot #45434 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
NC-165a $8 Leopard April 2, 1776
Yet another denomination from this fascinating and intriguing issue. There were two vignettes for this denomination. The Leopard is quite a bit more challenging to locate than is the Rooster vignette. PCGS notes: minor restorations. A rather handsome piece with wide margins, bold signatures, and a well detailed Leopard. The Newman example graded XF and sold for over $2,000.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #45435 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
NC-166b $10 Peacock April 2, 1776
Peacock vignette. Well signed and seen with deep printing. PCGS notes: edge repairs, small edge tears. The April 2, 1776 issue is among the most fascinating in all of Colonial Currency. This same note first sold for $690 as part of the Kings Mountain collection.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #45436 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 450.00 - $ 850.00)
NC-170 $1/8 August 8, 1778
Motto Union of Hearts the Strength of Interests. Typeset series and printed on thick paper by James Davis. PCGS notes: minor mounting remnants and they are indeed minor. This is the lowest denomination for the series and quite scarce. The Newman example graded PCGS AU 58 PPQ and sold for close to $1,000.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 58   
Lot #45437 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 350.00 - $ 650.00)
NC-187 $50 A Righteous Cause May 15, 1779
Evocative motto "A Righteous Cause the Protection of Providence." Hunt signature still visible. Taylor signature faded. Back shows "WILMINGTON. Printed by Huge Walker, 1779." PCGS notes: restorations, which appear to be some strengthening of the center fold. This is one of the couple nicest examples that we know of, and better grade than both the Newman and Ford pieces.
Grade: PCGS VF 35   
Lot #45438 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
NC-188 $100 A Free Commerce May 15, 1779
A much tougher denomination with only 1,000 authorized. PCGS has only graded a quartet of examples of this number. They have commented restorations on the back of the holder. The Newman note graded PCGS Apparent VF 35 and it topped the $700 mark. It would not surprise us to see a similar realization here this evening.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #45439 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
NC-191e $25 Terra Libera May 10, 1780
Latin motto "Terra Libera Notam Praetii in me Posuit", which Newman translates as "A free land placed a mark of value on me." Wide margins at all points. Rich black-printed text and bright paper. An exceptional note.
Grade: PMG Ch. Abt. UNC 58 EPQ   
Lot #45440 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
PA-126 20 Shillings June 18, 1764
Ben Franklin imprint. This is the highest denomination from this cherished early issue. Comparable to the Newman note which graded PCGS VF 35 Apparent and realized a hair under $900. PCGS notes: edge splits, stains, clipped corner tips.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #45441 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
PA-146 5 Shillings March 20, 1771
This multi-colored 1771 series is quite a bit scarcer than many of the other 1770s series, and its rarity is definitely underrated in your cataloger's opinion.
Grade: PMG Ch. VF 35   
Lot #45442 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
PA-174 16 Shillings March 25, 1775
Second lighthouse issue. Back design inverted as always. A wonderfully margined and superbly printed note. PMG notes: annotation on back. Typical AU Pennsylvania notes sell for around $200 but this is a much less common issue.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 55   
Lot #45443 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
PA-188 2 Shillings 6 Pence October 25, 1775
Bold signatures and deep black printing attest to the originality of this crackling fresh piece. This note sold for $258.50 in 2016 as part of the Eric P. Newman collection.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #45444 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
PA-215a 2 Shillings April 10, 1777
These elongated 1777 issue notes are actually quite scarce as legitimate uncirculated notes. Even quality AU pieces such as this are much more difficult to obtain than they are from most of the other 1770s issues. Stacks/Bowers sold this same note for $431.25 back in 2012.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 55   
Lot #45445 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
PA-223b 40 Shillings Red and Black April 10, 1777
Red and Black. These multicolored notes are much scarcer and more desirable than are their black printing counterparts. Net graded by PMG due to being repaired. Whatever has been done is hardly discernible through the holder. Boardwalk margins surround all sides of this lovely example, revealing the full border cuts and ornamentation. An exquisite note.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 53 Net   
Lot #45446 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
PA-268 2 Shillings 6 Pence March 16, 1785
Francis Bailey imprint. Wonderfully signed by Tilton and Smith. A much scarcer later issue from Pennsylvania. This ex: Newman note is very high grade for this series, whose notes tend to average in the F/VF range with problems. A lovely example and not one of the more available small change denominations.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #45447 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
PA-273 $1/90 August 6, 1789
Also PA-465 G8. These Bank of North America notes are technically obsoletes but they are also found in the Newman reference since they are still from the Confederation period. Superbly embossed and absolutely original. None of these were ever signed.
Grade: PCGS New 62   
Lot #45448 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
SC-136b $2 December 23, 1777
Erroneous 1777 date. PCGS notes: mounting remnants on back. Scarcer and more desirable with the engraved date error. Hugely margined and very attractive.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 53   
Lot #45449 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
VA-78b 2 Pounds July 17, 1775
Large format note. Much scarcer than the small format notes. From the second Ashby series. Printed on easily damaged thin, large paper. A couple of small edge and internal holes and splits. Seen with natural indent and untrimmed edges. An acceptable example. The Newman note graded VF 25 and sold for $1,175.
Grade: VF   
Lot #45450 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
VA-79a 3 Pounds July 17, 1775
Small ordinance. This is the highest denomination from this issue. Signed by Phillip Johnson and William Norvell. These are never found in CU grade so a nice AU is about as good as its going to get. The Newman and Ford notes easily cleared the four-figure hurdle in AU grade. PMG notes: repaired.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 55 Net   
Lot #45451 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
VA-159 $7 October 5, 1778
Printed on laid paper. A very scarce denomination from this better Virginia series. PCGS notes: edge splits, tears, damage, repairs, design redrawn. The note itself is quite bright, well signed and possessing decent margins. The first time this same note sold it brought close to $600 in a 2014 sale.
Grade: PCGS VF 35   
Lot #45452 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
VA-172 $2 May 1, 1780
Virginia guaranteed issue. Forster Webb countersignature. A pristine piece with PCGS noting some minor mounting remnants on the back.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58   
Lot #45453 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
VA-195 $400 October 16, 1780
Rice paper. Denomination printed on back. These higher denomination Virginia notes of the 1780-1781 period show how inflation was starting to run rampant. Any rice paper note that has any VF grade and no problems is a winner in my book. Very well centered with the margins easily clearing the design at all points. Ex: Eric P. Newman collection.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #45454 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 350.00 - $ 650.00)
VA-207b $250 March 1, 1781
Thick paper variety. Bright and wonderfully signed. Quarter folded and very pretty for the type. Full borders allow for all the intricate border ornamentation to be viewed. A choice piece.
Grade: XF   
Lot #45455 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
VA-207b $250 March 1, 1781
Printed on thick laid paper. Well signed and blessed with gigantic margins. PMG notes: repaired. A satisfying example of a somewhat more challenging Colonial.
Grade: PMG XF 40 Net   
Lot #45456 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
VA-223 $1200 May 7, 1781
One of the highest denominations in the entire realm of Colonial Currency. This shows just how bad inflation was by this late state of the Revolutionary War. This was the final Virginia issue. Printed by John Dunlap. PCGS notes: minor mounting remnants on back which are seen at the corners. A lovely example of a really tough note.
Grade: PCGS VF 25   
Lot #45457 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
VA-224 $1,500 May 7, 1781
The second-highest denomination ever used on Colonial currency. Bright paper and bold signatures somewhat offset the edge splits and repairs seen on the blank back. A desirable note.
Grade: XF   
Lot #45458 - Confederate Items - ($ 700.00 - $ 1,400.00)
T-17 $20 September 2, 1861
Fully framed and quite desirable as such. We do not seem to find too many T-17 notes that have wide margins on all sides. A really nice example that tends to sell for around $1,000 in a problem-free VF holder.
Grade: PMG VF 20   
Lot #45459 - Confederate Items - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
T-21 $20 September 2, 1861
CSA block printed watermark. PMG comments Annotation, which is a light old dealer pencil notation on back. Very well margined for this type with only slight inward bowing at the lower right keeping this note from being fully framed. A quality collector grade for a somewhat better 1861 type.
Grade: PMG VF 30   
Lot #45460 - Confederate Items - ($ 700.00 - $ 1,400.00)
T-22 $10 September 2, 1861
Plate A. Bold overprint. Well signed. An earlier type that is always much sought after.
Grade: PMG VF 20   
Lot #45461 - Confederate Items - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
T-24 $10 September 2, 1861 J. Whatman Watermark
PF-6. The highest graded example we have seen of this variety is a PCGS VF 30 PPQ that topped the $1,000 figure five years ago. Relatively few examples with this J. Whatman 1862 watermark made it through the Union blockade from England. A coveted note at this grade level and lacking any problems.
Grade: PMG VF 20   
Lot #45462 - Confederate Items - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
T-24 $10 September 2, 1861
An acceptable T-24 Confederate note that has not seen the usual oxidation that often plagues this type.
Grade: PCGS VF 20   
Lot #45463 - Confederate Items - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
T-28 $10 September 2, 1861
This type is simply rare in CU grade. Locating a bright and attractive AU example is a real chore as well. The present offering has well above-average margins compared to the majority that we see with trimmed margins.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 55   
Lot #45464 - Confederate Items - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
T-38 $2 September 2, 1861
This is the much scarcer variety with the incorrect 1861 date. Rather acceptable margins compared to a lot of other T-38 notes which are trimmed tight. In our Kansas City sale we sold an awful VG with a huge missing piece for $180. In our November sale, we sold a problemed Fine for about $575. Problem-free notes like the present offering tend to rapidly approach the $1,000 threshold.
Grade: PMG Fine 12   
Lot #45465 - Confederate Items - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
T-41 $100 January 5, 1863 Paxton Manuscript
A quality Hoer note that has the double whammy of coolness for an otherwise mundane Confederate type note. First, it is signed by Major and Quartermaster James G. Paxton. Paxton was stationed at Lynchburg, VA. Notes with his manuscript are always desirable. Second, there is an advertising stamp for J.H. Childrey of Richmond, VA. A very cool note.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 50   
Lot #45466 - Confederate Items - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
T-42 $2 June 2, 1862
Printed on bright paper and seen with strong signatures. The margins on this piece are clear of the frame line at most points, making it more desirable than most at this grade level. In the past year we have seen a 64 EPQ note sell for $2,000, while the average Ch. CU piece brings $600-$900. For the poker players out there, the serial number is a full house.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63   
Lot #45467 - Confederate Items - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
T-50 $50 December 2, 1862
A Confederate type featuring Jefferson Davis at center. Bold, forest-green inks add to the attractive nature of this bright and fresh note. Any T-50 note above the VF grade is tough to obtain.
Grade: PMG Ch. XF 45

Fr. 1233 5¢ Second Issue Block of Six
Uncut block of six notes. Uncut sheets and larger size blocks of this number are quite a challenge to obtain. The eye appeal afforded this block is excellent. In our June IPMS sale, fractional sheets and multiples were selling at a brisk pace. PMG comments: margin split.

Lot #45484 - Fractional Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 1329 50¢ Third Issue Amanuensis
Wide margins and excellent centering are found on this better hand-signed red back Spinner note. This is a much better variety than the more available Fr. 1328 type. Both of these signatures are an amanuensis. This means that both Allison and Spinner's signatures, which one can tell at a glance are not their authentic signatures, were accomplished on this particular note by an employee who was authorized as a signer. PMG notes: previously mounted. In our November sale, we sold a nice AU with dual amanuensis for $330. A very cool piece.

Lot #45486 - Fractional Currency - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)

Fr. 1960-J $5/$10 1934-D Kansas City J-A Double Denomination
This is one of the finest known of all the Kansas City $5/$10 double denomination notes that have appeared. Generally these are labeled '64 PPQ' or '64 EPQ' but this note I thought could possibly be even better, like a '67' or '68'. It's really lovely to me. Guesses are that there were possibly 160 notes that could have survived. This rarity was acquired through Jonathon's in the late 1970s. It's certainly a rare and desirable item, one of the finest quality examples to survive.

Fr. 2011-B $10/$1 1950-A New York B-D Double Denomination
The rarest of the small size double denominations, and undoubtedly the most sought after. Who would ever think of an $11 bill! The combination of a $10 FRN and a $1 silver certificate back, surely makes for the most unusual combination recorded on a single issue. The error note expert, Harry Jones, estimates that only six of these have survived. As amazing as that seems, three pieces were available at the 1976 ANA. This statement was taken from the Hans Schulman auction description: "In the spring of 1955, a charming young woman was surprised to note, after a few counts, that there were two different totals in her pay envelope - $120 at times and $111 when the bills were turned over. Close examination ferreted out the culprit, a bill with $10 on the face and $1 on the reverse. Mrs. O'Connor, the heroine of our tale, did a bit of checking, and subsequently received many offers of purchase for the misprinted bill. The bookkeeper who issued the pay envelope offered to take the bill back to the Manufacturer's Trust Co. branch at 221 Fourth Avenue in New York City to exchange it for a "good" bill. This Mrs. O'Connor refused, preferring to hold it as a souvenir". This $11 bill, a double denomination, is one of the rarest and seldom offered of the doubles. It is one of the most conservatively graded note I have seen.

Fr. 2071-K $20/$10 1974 Dallas K-B Double Denomination
I remember when this double denomination first appeared on the scene in the Dallas-Houston area. I recall Don Swanson always buying, selling and having this cool double denomination back then. These are now a highly prized and desirable rarity. This is a very high quality example as many saw slight circulation upon release. The assumption is that four sheets of 32 notes may have been printed this way. This note has beautiful quality and the back is just a little high. The double denomination is the King of the error notes.

Fr. 2072-F $20 1977 Atlanta F-A Obstructed Printing
Singularly the most spectacular obstructed print documented on any denomination. The intervening yellow paper received two district seals and the serial number from the note above. The serial on the scrap does not match the note. A miraculous happenstance to recover the host note and the imprinted scrap. A note for the ages and likely to appear on the cover of the 5th Edition of the United States Paper Money Errors. Irreplaceable at any cost.

I believe this to be one of the most important and rarest notes we have ever had the privilege to handle. This note is clearly circulated which I believe means someone chose to carry this as a pocket piece, hence the three folds and slight circulation. It is believed that this is one from a half-sheet with four examples known.

Top Pop at PCGS. Formerly from the Taylor Family collection, where it was graded Ch. CU and realized $862.50. We seem to recall that springtime sale, which actually took place in February, had many conservatively graded and original notes. This sterling example looks every bit the part of a screaming Gem through the holder, and we suspect that this was one of the grading service's crummier efforts.

Complete sets of any 1969-B series are a feat not to be taken lightly. It seems that only when major collections are sold, such as Flynn and Taylor Family, does a set such as this one appear. Every note in this group is at least Ch. CU, and we strongly suspect that there are quite a few Gems lying in wait for one adventurous soul to roll the dice. A key series across all denominations.

A really scarce modern star note with a combined five examples seen by both services. The embossing and inks attest to the originality of this piece. A flawless note that would have received no complaints if it was in a Gem holder. Based on both margin size and centering, the visual impact is of a much better grade. The highest grade at either service is '64 PQ'.

All stars from this scarce modern series are eagerly sought after, and with a print run of only 640K, this Kansas City star is no exception. But for a faint center fold this note looks like a gorgeous near Gem. There are only a couple finer examples combined at the grading services and, when CU notes do appear, they tend to easily climb the ladder into $1,000 territory.

Dark green seal. Light green seal notes appear at auction with far greater frequency than do dark green seals. This note is tied for Top Pop at both services. Each service has graded two examples at the 66 PPQ/EPQ grade level. When light green seals are found in Gem grade they tend to sell in the upper hundreds. There is no reason to think that this pristine piece won't respond in like fashion.

Sam Heston was to be the president; Orville W. McGinnis, Vice President and John O. David, Cashier. Orville McGinnis was an attorney and later in life he was legal counsel for the Citizen's National Bank and the Citizens Trust & Savings Bank of Evansville as well as serving as a director of each institution. Orville's father, Richard P. McGinnis, was also a banker. He was president of the Owensville Banking Co. of Owensville.

Baltimore, National Central Bank , 11207
This bank was originally chartered in 1918 as a conversion of the German Bank of Baltimore City. This was not a time when national banks typically chose to keep their ethnic German titles following the end of World War I. To that end, the bank judiciously chose to wait until 1931 to issue during the small size era. Harry H. Hahn and W.E. Katenkamp were the officers who signed these notes. Only two other serial #1 notes have sold at auction for this charter. In our 2000 Philadelphia ANA sale, we sold a $5 in VF for $2,200. The other was a $10 note, graded PMG AU 58, that sold a year ago for $3,120 as part of the Marc Watts collection. This note, with its near Gem grade and accompanying EPQ designation, should catapult well beyond any reasonable expectations on its way to a record price. Of great interest to both advanced Maryland collectors as well as serial #1 collectors.

Reno, NB, P8424
This $50 Nevada is new to the Track & Price census and it's the seventeenth $50 known on this charter; most any other $50s known are on Winnemucca. There are just over 100 large notes reported on this Washoe County bank and Reno was the big early Nevada city. I assume the high denominations were needed for the miners or assayers in the area but it seems that gambling was also an early need for cash. This was the first note that Zollie Kelman paid a premium for at $65, $15 over face value, around 1952 at the Jewelry Exchange, likely in the Twin Cities. Somewhat rounded corners but excellent black signatures. There is some edge wear as well.

Cleveland Spencerian National College Bank $1
Unlisted in Schingoethe. In 1848, E.G. Folsom established Folsom's Business College, the predecessor of the Spencerian College, in Cleveland, Ohio. Only two students enrolled in the school's first academic term. Folsom's Business College helped provide Cleveland businesses with qualified employees. Among the college's graduates during the nineteenth century was John D. Rockefeller, Sr. The Cleveland College became known as the Spencerian College, named after Platt Spencer, a former professor at the institution and developer of Spencerian script. PMG comments Ink, which is barely seen on the back, which is almost laughable when one considers the scarcity of this piece. The only other example that was sold by one of the three major auction houses was a ratty-looking example sold by Heritage in 2003 for over $500. Tonight's offering should realize multiples of that figure. A great rarity.
