An amazing happenstance of history; this serial #1, the first and only number one printed for regular "Portholes remained unknown, yet preserved, for nearly a century after being printed. Treasury Department records confirm that this was delivered on August 7, 1924, proving it to be one of the very last size #1 printed and unquestionably the first of the last $5 Silver Certificate denomination. This discovery appears in no census. It is known that the former owner acquired it sometime prior to his passing about 1963. It remains unproven conjecture and speculation that this trophy was plucked from circulation during the 'redemption phase' when the Treasury Department encouraged banks to withdraw large size paper money from circulation. Bank personnel were happy to comply, as slots in the tellers drawers only accommodated current/small size notes. The concentric circle around Lincoln's portrait has given rise to the moniker "Porthole", a nickname so firmly entrenched in the minds of collectors that the mere mention conjures a mental image of the design. The central image of Abraham Lincoln was based upon Anthony Berger's photograph, one of Matthew Brady's partners (best known for battlefield documentation of the Civil War and other photographs of Lincoln) The Porthole offers a one-block, one-signature combination, hence one Friedberg number type. It will forever remain a cornerstone to type collectors of large size paper money. All regular issue notes are from the A-B block, with an estimate of surviving examples, in all grades, pegged at 1610 examples, per Chambliss and Hessler. A non-fancy Porthole brought $49,938 in August, 2013. It has not traded publicly since. This example and one other (each tied at the peak of the population reports) have traded privately, in recent years, near the $75,000 plateau. While few dispute the allure of high grades, there remains a potential risk for another example to grade at the same level in the future. There is no possibility of a #1 Porthole ever being uncovered. Other specialists have compared the importance of this piece to the serial #1 Technicolor which realized $552,000, when sold in 2018. While we understand the parallel drawn, and our expectations might prove conservative, we anticipate this to realize about half of that amount tonight.

Copyright Peter Huntoon and Lee Loftus. Notes from Washington "The biggest large-size type note sensation at the American Numismatic Association in August {2019}...was the appearance of the #1 Lincoln Porthole silver Certificate. This important note...came in as the crown jewel of a large accumulation of large size notes. Any time a previously unreported #1 type note comes onto the market it is big news and cause for celebration. More so if it is from an issue that has a story... The series of $5 1923 Silver Certificates comprised a short-lived issue that was in production for only a little over a year and a half...they are much scarcer than their printing would suggest. Pioneering research by co-author Loftus...in Bureau of Public Debt files in the National Archives discloses...the Porthole $5s were part of a several years Treasury Department redesign ...to modernize and standardize U.S. currency. This program culminated with Treasury Secretary Andrew Melllon's announcement of the Series of 1923 designs on September 10th of that year. ... The first production plate [for the $5 1923 Lincoln Porthole] was certified on December 21, 1923. ...Interesting is the fact that the BEP was still printing Series of 1899 $5 Silver Certificates during the period when the Porthole 5[s] were in production...The fact is that $5 Series of 1899 production continued unabated until February 10, 1926, ceasing only a month before the last printing of the 1923 Portholes!...Between the 1899s and Portholes, the last large size $5 Silver Certificates were printed in early 1926. The highest reported Porthole is serial #A4286409B. As for the wonderful note at hand, it went out early in the release. Sadly, pedigree information did not accompany the note...It's existence isn't a surprise though because other low number portholes are known. Many serials between #3 and #23 are recorded in the Gengerke census... But you just can't beat a #1, particularly from a highly desirable short issue like this with such a complex history."

Forever a scarce type since Silver Certificate production came to a halt by the mid-1960s. An evenly circulated example with three gigantic margins and evenly circulated paper.

San Francisco has always been the key district in the $5 FRBN series. Eleven districts issued notes for this denomination (no Richmond note). Many of the pieces we see are in the VG to low-end VF grade range.

A lovely example of this Cleveland FRBN that a trio of giant margins as well as crackling fresh paper. PMG has given it the extra "*" star designation after the grade, indicating that it is of premium quality for the assigned grade level.

Tonight we intend to prove that hypothesis.

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.

A great note that has a lot going for it. It is from the scarcer 1963 "plain" series and Kansas City had the smallest printing. Add to that fact that it bears a low and binary serial number and you have the makings of a real firestorm ensuing to obtain it. When this note first sold back in 2005 it brought just under $750. There is little reason that we can think of that it should not perform just as admirably this evening.

Ultra-attractive example of this scarce St. Louis ultra-high denomination. This piece, which is new to the census, raises the total population to a meager eight notes for this highly-sought district. The light green overprint appears to have been imprinted this morning atop snow-white paper. Overall, the handling is extremely light, aside from the right quarter-fold. Any restoration in the upper right corner was executed with such consummate skill as to defy detection. A note to elevate the status of the collection of the winning bidder. Once relegated to second class status, research and history have proven the $5,000 denomination to be tremendously scarcer than it's big brother. Stunning is an understatement when describing this piece. The Cleveland Collection. LCG notes: minor restoration in upper right corner.

New to the census, which raises the total population to a paltry 15 for the district. Without equal, the finest known with only a single example graded CU, the lone PCGS Ch. New 63 specimen, with the next nearest being a PMG AU 50. The margins reflect Superb Gem centering, while the overprint remains as delicious as the day it was printed. Whether once part of a cash hoard or the property of a Chicagoland gangster, the origin is lost to history, but the important aspect is that this ultra-high denomination is available now. The eagle-eyed graders caught 'minor restoration in bottom margin', something likely to escape identification by nearly every seasoned collector and dealer. Unlike the narrowly margined examples from the Binion’s hoard, which supplies the preponderance of the $10,000s available, this near-Gem boasts boardwalk margins. Our colleagues at Stacks-Bowers sold a Binion’s in 64 for $162,000 at the recent ANA in August. We expect this stellar example, from a scarcer district, to fare even better tonight.

10/25 year 4% convertible gold bond. Washington. November 15, 1917. Four coupons, 1918-1919. Previously sold in 2015 by Heritage where it was described as 'Tonight's incredible bond offering includes several examples of excessively rare short-term Liberty Loan Bonds which have never before appeared in any of our auctions. These items were certainly an anomaly during the Liberty Loan Bond era as they were much smaller in size than the usual bonds and they also had only four coupons attached to cover a two year period at which point they could be converted into the more typical bonds. All denominations are very scarce with less than five examples known. The first specimen we are pleased to present tonight is a very attractive $50 with all four coupons attached. It features wonderful color, attractive vignettes, and deep, original embossing. Aside from the usual as-issued folds, this lovely bond appears to have been printed this morning.'

Previously sold in 2015 by Heritage where it was described as 'The next two lots in tonight's special bond offering are certainly two of the most aesthetically appealing items in terms of color thanks to their extensive use of gold inks. The first offering of the two, a $50 bond, features a vivid orange overprint on the bond itself as well as an orange-yellow underprint on each of its coupons, thirty-six of which remain attached to the bond. This bond will certainly appeal to the aficionados of large size Gold Certificates and would be a great complementary item to such a collection.

Lot #60117 - Fractional Currency - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 1228 5c First Issue Uncut Vertical Pair
A really scarce uncut perforated Fractional pair. Bright and wonderfully margined with deep perforations and complete strip at both top and bottom. These typically sell for many hundreds of dollars the few times they are seen. A type missing from Friedberg, O'Mara, and Newman. This ex: Ford pair sold for roughly $725 a dozen years ago.

Lot #60118 - Fractional Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 1230 5c First Issue Inverted Back Error
Even though this is the most available of the Fractional inverts it is anything but common. Typical grade for these is Fine or VF. Uncirculated and nearly uncirculated examples are few and far between. Some light corner handling seems to account for the grade. This ex: Ford note first sold for a hair under $500 a dozen years ago.

Lot #60121 - Fractional Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 1243SP 10c First Issue Wide Margin Pair
An absolutely stunning wide margin pair. The face specimen is a lovely uncirculated example and the back is a lightly handled Ch. AU. In this day and age, you will be hard-pressed to find a wide margin pair with more frame lines. The face has two full frame lines at top and right. Not to be outdone, the back specimen has three full frame lines. For those who are new to all of this, wide specimens with all four full frame lines are a near impossibility to find. A great specimen pair.

Lot #60135 - Fractional Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 1310 50c First Issue
This is one of the prettiest examples imaginable at this or any other grade level. The perforations are sharp on all sides and the margins are excellent. The wide left border shows the entire paper guideline marker. This note no doubt came from the left side of the sheet and quite possibly the upper left corner note due to its ample top margin as well. Worth much more than a typical example at this grade level.

This amazing 7 note set was part of the Paymaster Collection from several years back and is now available for the first time since the original deal. The prices were quite low when sold back then. Printed by Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Company. This was the last series to be printed by a private contractor. All of the following series were printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This change came about during the bidding for the printing of Series 591. Tudor Press was denied the contract for Series 591 because of the poor quality of Series 541. Forbes used a unique-to-MPC specimen format for this series. These specimens have zero serial numbers with prefix and suffix letters as well as a SPECIMEN hand stamp on each note. These 7 notes are graded as: 5c 58 PPQ; 10c 66 PPQ; 25c 64 Apparent-minor mounting remnants on face at right; 50c 67 PPQ; $1 55 PPQ; $5 58 PPQ; $10 58 PPQ. Provenance: From the Paymaster Collection.

Dark printed signatures and broad margins give this Second Charter note tons of eye appeal. The bank itself, in terms of raw numbers, is incredibly common with hundreds of notes listed. This specific type is unique on the bank, since it is the only $20 1882 Date Back known, and therefore is rare. This note has sold before and the average price it has realized was around $1,000.

Jerseyville, NB, M4952
This was a two bank town in Jersey County near the Mississippi River, with a population of over 8,600 in 2010. This bank has a number of Blue Seals saved but these three amazing rarities just came from the safe deposit box and they are great. There were only 378 sheets of one $50 and one $100 printed so so this is a cut sheet and a consecutive single. Everyone will not want them all so we will offer the $100 first, followed by the $50 from the same sheet and finally the consecutive $50. Each of these notes are totally fresh, original, unmolested and never slabbed. They are as the BEP printed them with some light handling. Serial #359 on the one $50 is the single new matching note. The quality is amazing and the $100 has two bends, as does the $50 from the other sheet. The earlier $50 seems to barely have any handling. In 1827, James Faulkner, a Pennsylvania native, built a small framed structure in the area that is now known as Jerseyville. By 1834, the small settlement had grown up around Faulkner's home, then known as Hickory Grove by its residents. The name of Jerseyville was chosen to honor the native state of many of its inhabitants.

A great #1 Red Seal from Iowa, a rare denomination on Red Seals in this state. There are only three notes known on this truly rare bank. This is a truly rare Iowa location, east of Cherokee and not far from Eagle Grove. A quaint farming community in north central Iowa. The bank first issued Red Seals upon opening in 1907 this is only the third example known. It's the third note from the first sheet, position 'C'. The officers were J.B. Kaufman, Vice President and W.G. Rosencrans, Cashier. The bank printed only 250 sheets, with 200 sheets of $10-10-10-20 Red Seals and 1,820 Blue Seal sheets, both 1902 Plain Backs and Date Backs. I believe there are only seven or so $5 Red Seals known from the entire state. PMG notes: pinholes.

A paltry 10 small known on this scarce Franklin County institution. This bank bears a great occupational title, one which is not seen very often compared to many of the other types we encounter. Auction appearances are few and far between and it will likely be a good stretch of time before another avails itself.

A very scarce note from the state's desirable Upper Peninsula. Fourteen small enumerated in the census with this being the only issuer in town. Evenly circulated and very attractive for the VF grade. In our 2014 CPMX sale, we sold a $10 note, graded PCGS VF 35 PPQ, for $1,380. The only $20 we have sold was a Type 2, graded PCGS VF 30, that went for $3,680 in our 2011 PCDA sale.

Solid serial #8888. The Grinnell sale, held by Barney Bluestone in 1945, had numerous fancy serial number notes from this bank which is likely where this one is from. The technical qualities of this piece give it loads of visual appeal. These are always easy four-figure examples at this grade level, and with the fancy serial number (of particular interest to the Chinese who view #8 as a lucky number) it should be a no-brainer at that price. Please say Ba.

Listed in the census as XF (which it likely is) it is technically a 35 PQ. We sold an example in a similar Ch. VF grade for around $1,000. Another $20 in comparable VF/XF grade topped the $2,000 figure in the 2005 Memphis sale held by Smythe.

Saint Peter, First NB, 1794
This note is easily the finest known $10 and it does come with an intriguing bit of lore. The best I can figure out is this: the first three sheets of $10s were issued. An error was found and sheets #4-314 were returned to the BEP. Replacement notes starting with sheet #315 were issued. That makes this note akin to a #1 note as it came from the first replacement sheet. A similar situation exists for the $20s. Until a lower number note turns up we will never know for sure. The consignor has talked to two people who knew the bankers and no record was kept explaining the situation. In the meantime, Claire D. Moll (male) and C.A. Benson are known to us as signers. This note is tied for the finest of the eight small notes reported on this Nicollet County bank. It's been six years since this charter was offered.

This same note sold over twenty years ago for $1,700, several years before there was any real price appreciation in nationals.

Not even a dozen large size pieces are known for this Adams County institution. We sold this same note for $770 way back in our June 1995 sale. If that doesn't tell you how desirable this note is then nothing will.

This Mercer County institution was a prolific issuer of bank notes, spanning the entire era from 1865 to 1935. A picture-perfect representative for any high-grade state capital type set. Everything about the quality of this note screams out 'Gem' except for the slightly smaller bottom margin.

This, of course, is a much different story. A scarce Original Series, one of only 300-400 known from across America, with very few of finer quality. This is a virtually impossible type design to acquire in this grade or better. Only 500 sheets of three $20 and one $50 were printed. Great signatures that appear to be that of the Pratt brothers.

The bank's second title, which included the "and Trust Company" nomenclature, was ushered in during the small size era. A better Orange County bank with twenty-seven pieces listed in the census. Listed as UNC but with some storage folds. The embossing is so sharp you could use this note to rectify that five o'clock shadow (although not advisable).

Collecting solid charter numbers is not for the faint of heart. They are, or can be a life long pursuit and one must remember to enjoy what you have and don't worry about what you are missing. That, of course, changes when the opportunity comes along. This note was a highlight of the hundreds of Ohio national bank notes recently discovered having been put away in the 1950s and 1960s. I wonder how Charles Brown, President and C.E. Porter, Cashier felt when asked to sign as they clearly took it seriously. This was a late Brown Back bank chartered in August 1900 and liquidated in December. The bank printed 1,000 sheets of $10-10-10-20 Brown Backs and 1,366 sheets of 1882 Date Back and Value Backs.

We sold this same note for $320 way back in 1997 when all of this stuff was still cheap compared to today.

Watertown, Merchants NB, 9003
This Jefferson County bank opened in 1908 and survived to the end of the note-issuing period. A pristine example with bright paper, wonderful signatures, and radiant ink colors. Some light handling precludes a far better grade from being assigned.
