Memphis 2006 Auction > Session 1

Lot #1 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 12,500.00 - $ 25,000.00)
$3 United States of America
TN-16 This is one example of the $3 note printed by the U.S. Treasury Department under the Act of Congress, February 24, 1815. This is an unusual remainder of an issue that was intended for circulation but were never given legal tender status. In fact, it was rejected by Congress without debate. This issue traded at par as long as there were specie payments but when they were suspended their value began to fall. They were funded quickly after the war in December 1814. There is only a single signed and issued example known.
Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #2 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 30,000.00 - $ 50,000.00)
Fr. 2 $5 1861 Philadelphia
This is, without a doubt, absolutely one of the finest $5 demand notes in existence today. There is an uncirculated example from Philadelphia, another AU and this note that I called Ch. AU in 2000 but has since been graded XF-45 by CAA. I am sure of one thing, this note is an outstanding $5 demand note. Unlike most that were carried by soldiers during the Civil War, someone must have cherished this piece, possibly sent home by a volunteer who did not have the good fortune to return to his loved ones. These notes were issued to the troops in the Civil War because they were the first paper money and could be mailed home easier than bullion. The centering on this note is really nice for they type, the color is exceptional and the paper quality, while probably not completely "as made", is very beautiful. Graded XF 45 by CGA.
Grade: CGA XF 45

Lot #3 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 30,000.00 - $ 50,000.00)
Fr. 7 $10 1861 Philadelphia
This beautiful $10 Demand note last appeared in CAA's May 1999 sale (Lot 1008), graded VF/XF and it realized $15,400. Today I presume that grade to be accurate which makes this one of the finest of all $10 demand notes, which are about three times as scarce as $5 notes because they represent virtually all of an enlisted man's salary during the war. There are roughly forty $10 Philadelphia notes known and only a couple that have a chance of being better than this note. If you are looking for the best possible examples to logically buy then add this one to your list.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #4 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 60,000.00 - $ 90,000.00)
Fr. 12 $20 1861 Philadelphia
Twenty dollar demand notes are one of the greatest rarities of all federal types and there are several reasons for that. These were the highest denomination issued of a series that was received with reluctance. Merchants and shopkeepers tried their best to discredit them. Because these notes were not payable in gold and because their acceptance was poor they redeemed them very quickly. The issue was all printed by April 1, 1862 and by July 1, 1863 more than 56,000,000 had been redeemed of the 60,000,000 authorized and issued just a year earlier. That means only four million were outstanding 15 months after the issue was completed. The remaining notes we see today are generally in low grade and were probably most often saved as war mementos. There are six Philadelphia $20s listed in the census, including this note that was last offered as part of the Harry Bass Foundation Collection in 1999 where it realized $23,000. It has been restored beautifully leaving a note that has the appearance of a VF with excellent original signatures of Tingle and Hubbard for the treasurers. Currently there are 19 known to exist with 17 in private collections and just two in museums.
Grade: VF

This note has only been publicly offered twice; first, when we offered it as part of the Tom Bain Collection and again by CAA in 2001. There ` are currently 33 notes listed in the census with six showing as UNC. The last sale of an UNC was in the Great Lakes Collection at $22,000 hammer. Now, in a much stronger market, it will be an interesting lot. This is a very rare seal variety that has always been scarce and remains that way as it was a short issue. Good color and centering.

The large red seal is rare, but the brown seal is even rarer. Even the Great Lakes Collection had only a VG that sold at $1,900 and the Rickey sale had an AU/CU graded AU-58 by PCGS. There are 17 notes reported for this excessively rare Rosecrans-Huston brown seal, only four of which are listed as UNC. This note last sold in 2001 at $35,750, ten years after we offered it originally. The AU-58 in the Rickey sale brought $23,000. Today, this Gem which is most likely the finest known, will be highly sought after. I love the quality of this beauty as the centering is very nice, but not perfect. The paper, color and quality are outstanding and original. It has square corners without any sign of wear anywhere.

This Fr. 61 $5 1862 legal tender without the word "series" on the face was the first discovered and initially sold by Dennis Forgue to Jack Fisher in 1975. Since that time nine others have surfaced.

The large red seal Rosecrans-Hyatt is a rare type with only 20 listed in the census and ours is a new addition.

This magnificent Gem is just 20 serial numbers away from the superb note we offered from the Great Lakes Collection.

Fr. 97 $10 1875
The rarity of the series of 1875 tens has stood the test of time. Early in my career I began searching for this Allison-New signature combination and it took me at least 10 years to find one. The nearly complete Denerson Collection of Friedberg numbers had just a laminated example. Until I obtained this note in 1991 these were unavailable. When I resold it in March 2001 it realized $28,500 in spirited bidding. Since that time two equally high grade notes have appeared, bringing the known notes to, guess what...10! Will you get to own this rarity? Time will tell.

This note was the Amon Carter example of this very rare 1875 issue of which there are only 25 notes listed in private collections. A total of only six are listed as CU in the census. I would not expect to see this note graded Gem because the top margin should not allow it. The note does have great color and very good paper quality. It does not show handling or circulation. A truly choice note, much better than the best of the Great Lakes Collection, which was an AU.

This was Lot 1212 in our Summer 2005 sale where it was sold for $21,850 and was described as follows: "This is one difficult type to acquire. There are 19 Fr. 148 notes in the census that are in collectors hands. Numerous examples are low grade or very seldom seen. I would feel safe to say that in the last 30 years this has been one of the two least available types offered. This note is a pleasing, problem free Fine that last appeared in CAA's October 1998 sale where it realized $11,000."

Fr. 151 $50 1869
Wow! What a find! This $50 1869 rainbow is new to the census and it is what I call a peach in every sense of the word (as I use it). When I got this $50 the original purchase price tag of $125 was included (it is included with the lot but it is small and could get misplaced during lot viewing). I had the privilege of handling several rainbow fifties in the same grade from the First National Bank of St. Joseph, Missouri in 1986. This note is equal or better to the best of those. This type is one of the most desirable of all printed by our government because it portrays art and design at its best. Who wouldn't want a jewel like this? In an aggressive market like we have now notes like this should command the strongest premium. The color is great, the centering totally awesome and the paper quality is better than anyone could expect for the grade. Currently around 60 have been reported, including at least a dozen in government collections and museums. Many appear to be VF or worse with only eight similar or better than this beautiful example.

Fr. 160 $50 1880
Not only is this a rare seal and signature combination to find, in any grade, but this note is really more like a three-fold UNC than a circulated note. It has broad margins to add to its color and originality. In 1999 we sold an AU at $25,300. This example, which comes from the Peter Burg Collection, has a pedigree back to Abe Kosoff, and is listed in the census as an AU. This large red spiked seal is both scarce and desirable. In fact, there are only 10 in private hands, and this is definitely one of the top examples known.

Fr. 163 $50 1880
Here is a note that has been off the market for some three years, since it appeared by Kagin's in 1973. Little did we know at that time that this is one of the rarest of all signature combinations. There are only three in private hands and two held by Federal Reserve Banks. We sold the finest known for $80,500 in our August 2005 sale of the Great Lakes Collection. Now we have this lovely AU that has some handling and a couple of minor half-folds, but no significant creases. The color and centering are excellent and the paper quality is quite nice. It is a very attractive and desirable note. The third example was an About Fine that realized nearly $20,000 decade ago. This note is a collector's treasure that will surely make its new owner proud.

Fr. 164 $50 1880
This note absolutely has the look of a Gem but there is one fold visible and another that may or may not be. The centering is excellent, the color is great and so is the paper quality. This note appears in medium circulation grades but I would have to see a Gem to believe it, and feeling the quality of this note could make it close to the finest known for the signature combination. UNCs of other signature combinations do exist. There are 24 listed as AU or better in the census.

Fr. 168 $100 1869
This note was last offered in the Frank Levitan Collection in 1998 where it was described as: "This magnificent rainbow $100 is a classic rarity. It is in spectacular condition with broad margins all the way around, front and back. The excellent paper quality has only minute handling and the broad, bold colors make this note one of the most outstanding ever offered. This design has images that relate to the Civil War, which ended a few years earlier, the Anthony Berger portrait of the martyred President Lincoln and the engraving of Reconstruction on the right. A small head of Liberty is found near the lower border. There have been 22 serial numbers recorded, with seven likely off the market for generations. There are apparently two other CU examples in private hands and a couple of AU examples that could be very close in grade. This note was the Donlon illustration and Frank acquired it from him in 1971." Today a grading service might agree with my grade from that time, or they might feel a light corner tip fold has to be called AU. Personally, Frank acquired it as uncirculated and we sold it that way, and I am again trying to make this broadly margined, incredibly fresh, original $100 rainbow note as exciting as it appears to me. The paper quality is very nice but it does have very faint handling. Truly one of the great currency treasures. This note is #20 on the 100 greatest list.

Fr. 170 $100 1875
The 1875 series $100 legal tender is a classic rarity and one of only three examples known in private collections. This note is pleasing and problem free, but with the wide ranging appearance of VF, this example is on the lower, not the higher side of the grade. As I said, it is pleasing and problem free. The other two notes known sound quite similar in grade to this note. The opportunity is key to obtaining a rarity like this with only three notes reported. It could be a long time before another is available.

This note last appeared in the 1999 PCDA sale after being part of the Frank Levitan Collection, where it was described as: This is an extremely rare type that has just nine notes reported and only two of those notes are institutionalized. For years this was thought to be the rarest of the legal tender $100 issues. Unfortunately, we were wrong, as the Fr. 175 has only two reported. This note does have several folds, but it is very fresh. Excellent paper quality and beautiful color. The bottom margin is a little close but completely free from the design, both front and back." This note does have a few small pinholes.

This is one of only four known examples in private collections, while three others are institutionalized. This note is totally original and has only been on the market publicly once in 1975 by Superior. No doubt the buyer was Bob Denerson, an early 1970s era Los Angeles collector who regularly competed with Jim Thompson to build the best collection by Friedberg. The collection was sold to a Midwestern dealer (not me) in early 1980.

Fr. 186d $1,000 1863
When the United States government passed the necessary Acts of Congress, in 1862 and 1863, to issue a Federal currency legal tender notes were the best obligation that was acceptable to bankers and the first issue was virtually entirely held by banks to exchange for 6% bonds in five years. That obligation changed a year later, eliminating their exchange value and allowing them to circulate. Most were exchanged for the earlier issue that bore a different obligation. In the Knox reference United States Notes it states a total of 450 million were issued. The $20,287 was issued or 20,287 notes that number includes both 1862 and 1863 issues. It was the desire of most politicians at the time to eliminate the use of paper currency after the Civil War. Following the end of the war Secretary McCulloch expressed concern that legal tender notes were war measures and should not remain in force any longer than necessary to return to the gold standard. Congress authorized a reduction to begin within six months after passage of the Act, note to exceed 10 million and four million per month following. The legal tender notes were reduced from 449 million to 356 million by December 31, 1867 and during the following year further reductions were prohibited. In 1874 a limit of 382 million was placed on legal tender notes. I believe this type to be of greater historical significance than any issue of United States federal currency. The fact that it is the FINEST KNOWN, or equal to it, makes a great case for this being the most important type note in existence today. Three notes are known today in private hands and the Treasury Department has the other known example. The earliest example known is one in fine condition that has the 1862 date and second obligation. Both notes with the 1863 date are within three serial numbers of each other and they grade very comparably. This note has an illustrious pedigree: It was the Limpert illustration and was part of the James M. Wade Collection; from there it continued to L.S. Werner, Amon Carter, Jim Thompson, Hickman-Oakes, Lyn F. Knight, and Frank Levitan and on to a private collector. This note has a beautiful, subdued toned quality to the paper that enhances the strong images in color and design. The centering is quite nice and the note appears to have never circulated (big surprise!). Somewhere along the line it acquired a corner tip fold of minor consideration. It has big, full margins, closer at the bottom right than anywhere. The sale of this note was the highest price ever paid for a piece of United States currency when it sold as Lot 104 in the Levitan Collection at $451,000. The record did not hold up when two collectors faced off during the battle for the Grand Watermelon, also in the Levitan Collection, which brought $792,000. I expect there is an excellent opportunity to see a new world record when the hammer falls tonight. The central vignette is that of Robert Morris who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Superintendent of Finance from 1781 to 1784. He was also the founder of The Bank of North America.

Fr. 187b $1,000 1880
When the time comes to make a study of the greatest rarities in our hobby the large brown seal $1,000 of 1880 should certainly be near the top of any study. (Of course that study would encompass many of the greatest rarities of our hobby by virtue solely of denomination). The printing of the 1880 legal tenders were a fraction of that of the 1862-1863 and 1869 thousands, which were 12 times higher in the case of the 1862-1863 when we needed to print money for the war effort and six times higher when we were refinancing the debt. By the time Bruce and Wyman were in the Treasury, 1883 to 1885, there was less need for the use of $1,000 bills. Conversely, when the small red seals were being issued there was the Spanish-American War to fund. There aren't any $1,000 issues from 1880 that exist in collector's hands, other than the small red seals. This is the FINEST KNOWN FOR THE ENTIRE TYPE, regardless of the seal. This note previously sold in CAA's October 1998 sale where it was described as follows: "One of the most important rarities that we have had the opportunity to offer, this is the first Fr. 187b that has ever been offered to the collecting public, and one of only two known to exist. It is in the census based on a 1993 report of its existence, but it has never previously been available for sale. The only other Bruce-Wyman $1,000 legal known to exist is an Extra Fine delivered by the Treasury Department to the Smithsonian Institution in 1978. This note is not only unique in public hands as a signature variety but also as a type, as the only other large brown seal $1,000 legal is the unknown Fr. 187f. This spectacular Fr. 187b is kept from uncirculated only by some handling in the top margin. It is the "D" position note from the plate and has its full side margins as well as an overly large bottom margin, as is often seen with "D" position notes. The top margin is rather close by contrast, but only significantly so at the far right where it does not quite touch the design. The printing quality is excellent on both the face and the extraordinary busy back. The note is totally free of repair or restoration of any kind. There are only a handful of U.S. Federal currency notes which no collector has ever had the opportunity to own, and this majestic thousand was one of that select group until now."

This is one of only two compound interest treasury notes known bearing the Act date of 1863. Both of these earlier examples are genuine, compared to the 1864 dates in which it appears that six are not genuine. Only six to eight genuine notes are in private hands. These are great rarities and should be treated as such. The compound interest hundred is a beautiful design that was issued under the Act of March 3, 1863 which allowed for these to carry a 6% yield three years after the date of issue. This was the mechanism, among others, to finance the War Between the States. Because these drew interest they were recorded upon redemption, and Gene Hessler show 316 outstanding, no doubt 100 years ago. This note carries the earliest Act date and only 8% of the total issue had this date. Today we only have records of two surviving examples. A true numismatic treasury that directly helped fund the Civil War. The condition is very bright and the edges and centering are excellent. There is some weakness in the overprinted area. A virtually undetectable, professional restoration has been done in the overprint. The work is basically unnoticeable. It had the typical problem that accompanies that series; the overprint ink was too heavy or acidic and ate through the paper. When previously catalogued it was called Fine for wear. I assume that it was downgraded before the restoration. Look for yourself, it is a beauty. Chances to obtain a $100 compound interest note are very limited.

Lot #124 - Large Size Type Notes > Interest Bearing Notes - ($ 15,000.00 - $ 25,000.00)
Fr. 196 $10 1864
This wonderful note was previously described in a CAA sale as: "A gorgeous piece with the bright, bold colors that are simply never seen on this type. This is the second finest in collectors' hands. There is an Extremely Fine known, and that resides in the ANA Museum. It is entirely possible that the ANA Museum piece, as well as most of the reported 196's, are likely misattributed. Early collectors made no distinction between this very rare Fr. 196 and the far-more-common Fr. 196a printed by the National Bank Note Company. It's quite possible that as few as five Fr. 196's exist. This piece is totally problem-free save for a few small pinholes. It also has excellent margins and ideal color. An extremely rare and underrated note that Malcolm Trask acquired from Robert Friedberg in the 1950's. Prior to that, it had been in a New Netherlands sale, and before that, it was owned by F.C.C. Boyd. It's one of the few Trask notes that has been recorded in any known census. From the collection of Malcolm A. Trask."

Fr. 212 $50 Act of June 30, 1864
Act of June 30, 1864 Three year note 7.3% interest. A rarity on which we have records all the way back to the Grinnell sale where it was Lot 230 and realized the princely sum of $215. It appears that after that it may well have been part of the Kagin's reference collection until sold by CAA in January 2000. A similar grade sold for $63,250 in January 2001. This is one of only six notes in private hands. It faces up beautifully with some minor soiling on the back. This note originally came with five coupons attached and interest was paid only with coupons. The note was supposed to have been redeemed with the last coupon.

Lot #127 - Large Size Type Notes > Refunding Certificates - ($ 32,500.00 - $ 45,000.00)
Fr. 214 $10 April 1, 1879
I am amazed to see this note in this quality except that Stack's had a group of notes from XF to Gem years ago. This note was saved by the bankers that oversubscribed to this issue because the notes were convertible with accrued interest at 4% and were convertible to 4% bonds upon presentation in amounts of $50 or more. This note has been graded Gem UNC 66 by PMG.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66

Lot #128 - Large Size Type Notes > Refunding Certificates - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 8,000.00)
Fr. 214 $10 April 1, 1879
The refunding certificate is popular because a drop in interest notes after their issuance made them profitable for bankers to keep and convert for the 4%, so these never really circulated as intended. A small pile were discovered in the last couple of decades, otherwise these would probably have been prohibitively expensive to own.

Ultra-high end example of the rarer of the two Friedberg numbers for this classic design. Premium paper with every aspect of the intricate image sharply impressed.

It will be difficult to estimate the ultimate level of enthusiasm for such a rare and highly graded note, especially with the serial #H22.

Here is a beautiful $5 Educational at its finest. This beauty is completely fresh and original with extraordinary centering and exceptional color. Graded Superb Gem New 67PPQ by PCGS. In 1897, when the $5 Educational notes were released, the firm of Cabot, Cabot and Forbes was one of the old-line banking companies and they were pillars of the Boston blueblood society. Mrs. Cabot and Mrs. Forbes were very conservative and when they inspected their first $5 Educational they ordered their husbands to not allow the notes in their banking and business house. This was because of the naked breast on the face of the note. Hence the term "Banned in Boston". This objection led the government to cancel plans for the $10 Educational, and so abandoning the series. Since then the term "Banned in Boston" has been attached to other items.

Fr. 285a $10 1878 Triple Signature
An evenly circulated $10 triple signature silver certificate that was described as follows in the Levitan sale (Lot 163) in 1998: An extremely rare type with only five reported examples in collectors hands. This note appears to fall in the middle of the census and it is the Hessler illustration. Originally part of the H. Freeman Collection, then to Amon Carter, on to Frank Levitan via Hickman-Oakes and to Lyn F. Knight is 1987. Obviously the note has seen considerable circulation but has retained strong color and a reasonable amount of body for the grade. The top margin has been slightly trimmed to remove roughness. Engraved by A.U. Wyman and with the Scofield-Gilfillan signatures. This note is a little close on the top but it has decent overall appearance.

Triple signature notes are as rare as any sub-type can be as few were ever issued. There are various signatures, hand-signed and engraved signatures, different denominations and silver and gold certificates.

Fr. 317 $20 1891 #E10
It is always great to make a wonderful new discovery and this is one for this year. Serial #E10 was note listed in the census, nor were any of the notes that came from this important Midwestern collection. The last record I can find of a low number was the 2000 sale where we sold serial #E8 at $25,300, that of course is a single-digit but only two away. The quality was probably similar but this note shows light handling and even a bend on the corner, but as I said, in Levitan there are no runs of this signature combination recorded. This is a wonderful type note.

Wow...what a beauty! Last August, as part of the Great Lakes Collection, we offered the second finest known of the very rare and desirable black-back fifty with the large brown "L" on the face. The note is the finest known, of the six notes of this type, outside of museums and government hands. This note was from the James A. Stack Collection, sold by Stack's in 1990 and it realized $27,500, a price equivalent to $200,000 for many comparable rarities in that sale. This is the Bruce-Wyman signature combination. Excellent centering, tremendous color and paper quality. This note has the appearance of a Ch. AU, but it may well have more than one light fold, so I will call it XF/AU.

Fr. 328 $50 1880
Here we have the large brown seal fifty after the "L" has been removed and the seal has been enlarged. Twenty of the 28 listed in the census are in collectors hands, three of which are certainly better than this lovely example. The best of those three was in the Rickey Collection sale in October 2005. This note was part of the James A. Stack Collection which sold in 1990. It is an honest, unmolested circ note that has a couple of pinholes, but it would go well with virtually any black back set that can be assembled. In January 2000 an AU brought $44,000.

This is a very scarce and popular $50 silver certificate type that has good centering and great color, yet the grade is way conservative to me. This note would have been graded VF by everyone I know that sells circulated notes and to me this could have easily been in a VF-25 holder, but it is not. This note is new to the census of 17 notes reported, including two in museums; virtually all are average VF. Graded Fine 15 by PCGS.

Fr. 341 $100 1880
This gorgeous $100 black back silver certificate has an illustrious pedigree as it was part of the Jim Thompson Collection, sold by Stack's in December 1992 as EF. Next year, in October 1993, it was sold by the conservative and accurate David Koble as AU. Later it was sold by CAA as XF/AU and then on to Spink America in 1995. I believe that the overall quality is better than the Fr. 342 catalogued next that CGA calls Ch. AU 55, but the end result is that this is a beautiful note that is certainly within the top five notes, grade-wise, none of which are listed as UNC in private collections. There are 23 recorded, five in museums, etc and there is only one UNC. All of the collectors with this note in mind can see the quality for themselves. The only UNC known has the small seal and it brought $240,000 last October.

Fr. 342 $100 1880
This is the black back $100 of 1880 and it is one of only 10 examples in private collectors hands today. This note has an illustrious pedigree back Abe Kosoff in 1951, then the FCC Boyd Collection and it's next appearance was in a 1998 CAA sale where it was very conservatively graded About VF. Today the note has been graded About UNC 55 by CGA, a fact that makes me realize that grading standards will never be universal. This note is, without a doubt, either the second or third finest known example. The finest known was in the Rickey sale where it realized $210,000 hammer. This note has great centering and a horizontal fold, any vertical fold would be very faint. A great note that should see a strong bid.

Fr. 344 $100 1891
I am always proud to offer notes like this Monroe $100 1891 silver certificate that may well be the finest in existence today, but it is more likely that it is tied for, or nearly identical to another of the 22 examples recorded with the same Tillman-Morgan signature combination. There appears to be at least two better for the type that are Fr. 343, these are otherwise identical. One of those sold in the Rickey Collection (Lot 26) for $92,000 only a few short months ago and it seems very low today. This note is quite lovely and it has excellent centering, beautiful, bold color and excellent paper quality. The issue was 312,000 but in 1897 there was an attempt to recall the entire issue because of superb counterfeits made by William M. Jacobs. That would help account for the rarity of this issue.

I have always been enamored with the rarest of the signature combinations and seals with the various series. Over the last 30 years or so I had always recognized the Fr. 97, Fr. 109, Fr. 297, Fr. 313 and Fr. 373 as obvious rarities that stood out, but more recently with the work of Martin Gengerke it has become painfully obvious that the Fr. 360 $5 1890 Rosecrans-Nebeker large brown seal Treasury note ranks right up there with the best of them. Listed here is the FINEST KNOWN. There was an AU listed by Kosoff in 1951 but no one has seen it to verify the grade one way or another. We sold this note in March 2001 for a tidy sum of $54,350. Today it is hard to say what the new market levels will say about this note. No matter what characteristics you like about a note, you will like this one because it has them all.

Fr. 378 $100 1891
The open back coin note of 1891 is one of the rarest of all major type designs. It was created when the ornate back designs were originally created for Treasury note which were replaced with simpler, more open field backs. Collectors have often opted for only the watermelon note in this series because they are attractive and the open backs have never been available for long as there are only seven in private hands, with one of those unaccounted for. As the story goes, many years ago four of the notes were found pinned to the inside pocket of an indigent man's coat but they had been singed on the edges. I have personally had the edges restored on several, including this note that came from the collection of the First National Bank of Davenport, Iowa when I acquired it in 1995. The overall appearance looks a bit light, but quite frankly it is a pretty decent example for the type. I sold an XF at $154,000 in June 2000 that was previously from the Levitan Collection. CAA sold a note, similar to this one for what I recall was $126,500.

Lot #288 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 6,500.00)
Fr. 1045 $50 1914BS Atlanta
Certainly one of, if not the, rarest of all the Burke-Glass issues. The Atlanta $50 shows just three reported in the Gengerke census, a number that has remained unchanged for years, with one of these permanently impounded in the collection of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. This district had the most paltry issue of $50s: a mere 840,000 pieces for ALL signature combinations combined. It is not known exactly how many of these were Burke-Glass issues, but it is estimated to be a small fraction, perhaps as low as 10%. The last offering of a Fr. 1045 was one of the census pieces which brought close to $2500 back in the much weaker market of 2003. This new discovery will certainly raise some eyebrows and give another collector the chance to add this rare Burke-Glass issue to his collection. Though the paper is slightly toned, the note is solid and attractive for the grade.

This note did not appear with the rest of the run in 1989. It appeared 10 years earlier as part of the Brookdale sale by NASCA that was one of the greatest sales of the time. This is one of seven within the run that are reported but three more may well exist somewhere. (I don't remember it from 1979 but I bought a lot of that sale). Wonderful centering, exceptional color and very nice paper quality as far as I can tell in the holder. The note is certified by CGA as Gem UNC 65.

The Burke-Houston signature combination was used on very few notes of the $1,000 FRN. In fact, only three districts, New York, Atlanta and San Francisco, are the only ones known. This is one of four in private hands. From the New York district and it is certainly one of the true rarities of the entire 1914 issue.

Fr. 1166b $20 1863
It is indeed my pleasure to offer this classic American numismatic treasure to the market. Few collectors will ever have the opportunity to see such a treasure, let alone own one, and now someone could own both varieties. This previously unknown example of rare U.S. Civil War era paper money has recently come to light in Little, New Hampshire. This note was in the possession of a New England family for four generations, handed down by a great grandfather who was a New York City banker. It was meticulously kept in a leather wallet for more than 100 years. When the Government authorized the printing of paper currency in 1861, it still required certain payments be paid to the U.S. government in specie (gold or silver coin). Under the Act of March 3, 1863, the U.S. government required payment for import duties be paid in U.S. gold coin. They did not want to be paid in paper money, which was heavily discounted against gold. At times during the war, paper was only worth 40% as much as gold. The $20 gold certificate issued under March 3, 1863 Act was a certificate of deposit indicating $20 in gold was on deposit at the New York Sub-Treasury. This certificate was used between banks and was not normally seen by the public. Some 48,000 of these notes were issued, but by 1895, all but nine had been redeemed. Today, only six are known. This is the second known example of an 1863 $20 gold certificate with the hand-signed counter-signature of H.H. Van Dyck, Assistant Treasurer of the United States at New York. In 1866, when Henry Herbert Van Dyck signed this note, he was one of two Assistant Treasurers at the New York Sub-Treasury, which was "the bank" of the Federal government. The New York office was the largest and most important of all Sub-Treasuries as it was the principle store of U.S. gold at the time and all government paychecks were paid from the New York Sub-Treasury, including the salary of the President of the United States. The note offered here is a fresh, slightly circulated Very Fine to Extra Fine with several minor splits along the edges and pinholes. None of which particularly distract from the overall appearance of the note. Graded VF 20 by CGA.

Fr. 1173a $10 1922 Mule
This is a rare variety for several reasons. One, being the earlier small serial numbers as used on the 1907 issues and the plates make it a mule. The condition is absolutely stunning. It first appeared in a Hickman-Oakes 1989 sale, then in September 2000 CAA also graded it as a Gem CU. It is not slabbed today but no doubt it will be shortly. With the small serial numbers and being a mule, it may be too rare for a non-specialist.

Fr. 1175a $20 1882
This note was from the Levitan Collection where it was described as: This is a spectacular example of this early countersigned issue with the engraved countersignature of Thomas C. Acton. The condition is absolutely wonderful with the face fully appearing uncirculated. Only upon careful inspection does the back show minor flaws. There have been 18 serial numbers recorded in collectors hands. A couple are even better than this one, but no one would be unhappy with this jewel in their collection. The currency census shows that there are probably two better examples of this countersigned note, but one has not been seen since 1974, the other since 1990. Absolutely a wonderful choice for this important type.

An impressive brown seal gold certificate that last appeared in the Great Lakes Collection sale, prior to that it was from the Cookson sale in January 1999. This sale represented a great opportunity to collectors as the Levitan sale had shattered all records barely five weeks before, and the recovery of cash flow was evident in the prices of many of the most beautiful gold certificates ever offered. This beauty is probably the third finest known but the look is amazing. The color and paper quality will blow you away!

Lot #321 - Large Size Type Notes > Gold Certificates - ($ 450,000.00 - $ 750,000.00)
Fr. 1203 $100 1882
This note was unknown in private hands until one Sunday afternoon at a coin show around Milwaukee this note walked up to Kevin Foley's table and when he recognized its rarity he acquired it. Not much time passed before I was made aware of the discovery and it was placed in the prestigious collection of Jim Thompson. Subsequently it sold with the rest of his gold certificates in 1990, making its one and only public appearance. I feel fortunate to offer this unique Bruce-Wyman small brown seal gold certificate in its original, as discovered condition. A pleasing Fine or better with decent centering, excellent color and without problems. According to Gene Hessler's Comprehensive Catalog of U.S. Paper Money, the issue was 40,000 notes. The only other known notes are in Federal Reserve Bank collections.

This is one of the most beautiful hundreds I have seen. The centering is outrageous, the color exceptional and the overall appeal is staggering. There are 47 serial numbers listed for this signature combination, and 11 are permanently tied up. Of the 31 out there, one is listed in the census as UNC, from the Cookson sale, and it realized $16,500. This note last appeared in CAA's September 2000 sale (Lot 1820) and sold for $9,350.

Fr. 1218d $1,000 1882
There have only been two other public offerings of this incredible "$1,000 BROWN GOLD CERTIFICATE" that is unique in private hands, and we seriously doubt either the Treasury Department or the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco will be sellers any time soon. This note was authorized under the Act of July 12, 1882, which authorized and directed the Secretary of the Treasury to receive deposits of gold coin, in denominations of not less than $20 each, corresponding to the value of the United States notes. The coin deposited for the certificates was required to be retained for payment of same on demand and it authorized the gold certificates, and also silver certificates, to be counted as authorized reserves of national banks. When catalogued by Len Glazer for CAA's January 8, 2000 sale he described the quality with more praise than I know. His description follows: "Off the market since its last appearance in the Grinnell sale of 1945, this is the most stunningly beautiful, rarest and most significant note we have ever had the privilege of handling. There are 22 known examples of 1882 thousands, fully half of which are permanently impounded in the Smithsonian or the collections of various Federal Reserve banks. All known examples of 1218a, b and c are permanently impounded in government hands. Fr. 1218d, signed by Rosecrans and Huston and having the large brown seal, is represented by three known examples, a Fine in the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, a Very Fine transferred by the Treasury Department to the Smithsonian Institution in 1978 and this note, a magnificent Gem -appearing About New. More significant perhaps than its uniqueness as the only example of its seal and signatures in collectors' hands is the fact that it is the highest-grade 1882 thousand in or out of a museum. The note is beautifully margined, perfectly bright and replete with all the color and sharpness that it had the moment it was printed over a hundred years ago. Apart from its uniqueness in collectors' hands, this note has an intangible that is of utmost importance and missing from almost all other high-end rarities: incredible eye appeal. It is 100% perfectly clean and astonishingly beautiful, with the look of a Superb Gem. All four ink colors on the face are glowingly bright, and the perfectly centered, bright orange back is without a touch of toning, fading or weak printing. After tonight, this incredible note will be where it deserves to be. It will become the most significant item in the collection of whichever individual is most intent on forming the finest holding of U.S. currency ever compiled." According to the Comprehensive Catalog of U.S. Paper Money by Gene Hessler, only 8,000 notes were printed and the rare small red seal has 12 times the printing for the Lyons-Roberts signatures. Very few notes have the distinction of having been the world auction record holder for U.S. currency, but this one held the record for over five years. It certainly has the opportunity to reclaim its title when the hammer falls.

Lot #327 - Large Size Type Notes > Gold Certificates - ($ 160,000.00 - $ 220,000.00)
Fr. 1219e $1,000 1907
In a sale dominated by rare $1,000 notes it seems only appropriate to have found another extremely elusive type in a top grade. There are 32 serial numbers listed in the census in private collections, six of those are listed as CU from what may be a run of 12, but the others remain unknown. The facts are this - uncirculated $1,000 gold certificates are rare as rare can be and that other than the Fr. 1219e there are virtually no other 1907 $1,000s in UNC. The 1922 $1,000s just do not appear in UNC either, most have seen use. Families did not have the money to save one in the Bible for a rainy day.

Lot #338 - Fractional Currency - ($ 50,000.00 - $ 75,000.00)
Specimens of United States Fractional Currency Clark's Copy
In April 1866, one year after Johnson succeeded to the presidency, the treasury department prepared just over a dozen ornately embossed, leather bound Fractional Currency Presentation Books, containing 31 specimens of U.S. Fractional Currency. Just 13 books are known to have been presented to dignitaries including President Andrew Johnson, Salmon P. Chase (Chief Justice, U.S. Supreme Court), and F.E. Spinner (Treasurer or the United States) as well as Secretaries of State, War, Navy, Treasury and a few senators. Presentation letters accompanied these books, signed by Spencer M. Clark, Superintendent of the National Currency Bureau. A 14th book is known, given to S. M. Clark himself. That Clark should have had one book prepared for himself is not surprising, given his egotistical nature and the fact that he had his own likeness put on the Third Issue 5c note, prompting the law that to this day forbids the likeness of living persons on our currency. We are pleased to offer for sale this 14th book, presented to Spencer M. Clark. The books are bound in full leather, with gold embossed borders front and back. The name and title of the recipient appears in the center of the front. Each of the 31 specimens (mostly wide margin notes) was mounted on a separate gilt-edge page. The notes themselves, however, are of particular numismatic and historic interest. The extraordinary nature of the fourteen presentation books becomes apparent, for none of the second or third issue notes contained in them had any surcharges. In addition, the impressions in the books are extraordinarily sharp and clear, on soft white India paper which lent itself to such vivid, clear impressions. That release of proofs in such form was unusual can be surmised from the fact that many of the notes in the books are totally unknown in individual form outside of the books. The same notes appear in all books, each on a separate gilt-edge page: First Issue: 5c Face (on the normal orange/straw paper for the issue. 5c Back (on the normal paper for the issue). Only two are known outside of the books. 10c Face (on thin white India paper).Two are known outside of the books. 10c Back (on thin white India paper). Only two are known outside of the books. 25c Face (on the normal orange/straw paper for the issue). 25c Back (on the normal paper for the issue). In addition, the ABNCo monogram can be found at the lower right. Unknown outside of the books. 50c Face (on thin white India paper). Unknown outside of the books. 50c Back (on thin white India paper). Only one or two are known outside of the books. Second Issue: All on thin white India paper, with no bronze surcharges on the face and no outline denomination surcharges or corner surcharges on the back. 5c Face.

Of the major types issued, only the Light Curtain 3c face, the Type II Spinner 50c reverse, and the (unissued) Grant & Sherman 15c notes were omitted from the books. In all, 13 of the 31 Specimens in the books are totally unknown outside of the books, and the remaining 18 are all Rarity-8. Of the 18 known outside of the books, only nine have ever been offered at public auction. (Description attributed to Martin Gengerke) The specimen book we are offering belonged to Spencer M. Clark. The leather binding has some weathering and there are minor losses to the gilding. The book has foxing on some pages that has varying affects on a few of the notes. The last sales record I know of is for a book in the mid-sixty thousand dollar range.

$1 1928* #*00003273A
The star notes from the red seal legal tender series of 1928 are one of the classic rarities of the era of small size paper money. To the best I can tell it is doubtful that more than half a dozen uncirculated examples of this rarity exist. Our offering has the low serial #*00003273A. It is fresh and original with excellent centering which is always rare on this issue. One can see the slightest toning visible, probably from the high humidity of Puerto Rico, which is where it was originally distributed. No other small size star carries the cache attached to this important star. This note was the cornerstone of the Haywood Watts Collection.

A very cool serial #B66666665A that is certainly a greatl note for a type set or a liars poker hand. From the Haywood Watts Collection.
Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #387 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
$5 1928-A*
In this grade, the 1928-A star and 1928-D star are about equal in rarity and are the keys to the set. However, in the higher grades of AU or CU, the 1928-A star pulls ahead as the clear winner. This means that to locate a better example of this star would be prohibitively expensive, with examples few and far between. This piece is quite nice and looks AU.
Grade: XF

Lot #388 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 150.00 - $ 250.00)

A well centered Gem note from the Haywood Watts Collection.

Lot #389 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 6,500.00)
$5 1928-B* Mule
The 1928-B mule star has always been recognized as the rarest star in the $5 legal series. In the 1980s, when Jim Thompson was building his world class collection of small size, the 1928-B mule star was the last hole he filled in that series. At the time, his VF was the best grade available of the five known examples. Since then, the population has about doubled, but the issue is still unknown in the uncirculated grade. This note is unmolested, bright and problem free. Easily as nice as the Thompson specimen.
Grade: VF

Lot #390 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,200.00 - $ 1,800.00)

Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #392 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 3,500.00)
$5 1928-C*
This is by no means a common star, and the above average condition of this example will only add to the demand. The totally original embossing and lack of handling puts this piece at the top of its class. Front to back registration is visually perfect, and any grader worth his salt should recognize the apparent shift is just a case of an extra wide right margin.
Grade: Gem CU

Lot #393 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)

$5 1928-C Mule
The G-A mule is one of the rarest blocks in the $5 legal tender series, with just a handful of examples known in all grades combined. Any advanced collector would be hard pressed to do better than this attractive specimen. Back plate #637. Ex: Jim Thompson.
Grade: XF

Lot #396 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)

Lot #400 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 800.00)
$5 1928-D & 1928-E

Lot #401 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 4,000.00)
$5 1928-E*
Substantially more difficult to acquire than the 1928-F "Type Star". This specimen is as fresh as the day it was printed, is well centered and exhibits deep, natural embossing. It was nice enough for Jim Thompson, and will be a fine addition to any top grade collection. Another note with ample margins all around, but with a left margin that is a little extra wide.
Grade: Gem CU

Lot #402 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,200.00 - $ 1,800.00)

Grade: Gem CU

Lot #404 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
$5 1928-E Mule
Here is a great note for the $5 legal tender specialist, and it is a real sleeper that could easily wake up tonight. Mules from this series are rather scarce in any grade, but to find one in this condition is amazing. A faint tip fold prevents a Gem designation, but the embossing is strong and the centering good. Possibly the finest 1928-E H-A mule in existence. Back plate #637. Ex: Thompson

$100 1966* *00000008A
This jewel is the lowest of all known star notes from this issue, and it was formerly in the collection of Amon Carter, Jr. The centering is fantastic, but there is some handling and possibly a faint fold. This note has been a centerpiece of the Haywood Watts Collection for years and now it is time for the next generation of collectors to have a chance at it. Be prepared to battle if you want this one as some prize it quite highly.

$1 1928-A & 1928-B #00000005 X-Y-Z Experimental Notes
A group of notes, both series 1928-A and 1928-B, were printed in November 1932 on papers with varying rag content to test wear-ability. Blocks X-B and Y-B are on experimental paper with differing relative amounts of linen an cotton fibers. The Z-B block, printed on the regular paper then in use, was used as a control. Just over 10 million of each type, divided between two series, were issued in January and February of 1933. Unlike the more publicized later experiment using the 1935-A series "R" and "S", no special designators except the three noted block letters were employed. The results of this test are unknown. Note the especially low, matching serial numbers (#5) of this set of crisp, uncirculated notes. This three piece lot includes: 1928-A Z-B block 1928-B Y-B block 1928-B X-B block

This experimental set would grade higher but for tip folds on two of the notes, no doubt acquired when the packs were intact many years ago. These matched sets are very popular and there will never be enough of them to go around. Of the two digit sets, the matched numbers like this #99 set bring the most.

$1 1928-C*
There are only about a dozen examples known of this key silver star. Of that limited population, this is one of the nicest despite its close bottom margin on the front. I doubt that the uncirculated examples number more than three or four, but this piece is the only one that has been on the market for the last several years. We can surmise that the others must be firmly held, and unlikely to surface any time soon. An outstanding rarity worthy of the finest collection.

$1 1928-E*
We last sold this key star in 1999 where it brought nearly $19,000. It is still the unchallenged king of the $1 Silver Certificate stars, and examples are rarely available. This attractive circulated piece is problem free, has bright colors and is untrimmed with reasonable centering. These have not become any more common in the last seven years, but everyone should agree that the demand for rare stars is much stronger today. Could easily hold its own among a set of CU's.

This star experimental R & S set is one of the highlights from the Haywood Watts Collection. Both of these notes are 100% fresh and original and the centering on each is well within acceptable ranges.

There is a tiny red mark (probably overprint inking) near the Series 1935-A on the "S" but it is barely discernable. An extraordinary star pair.

$10 1928 E Richmond
An incredible new discovery from a district for which no single digits are known for any denomination of the 1928 series Feds. This lovely note turned up recently after having been sequestered in an unknown holding for several generations. We were stunned at the arrival of this note, for heretofore the only low numbers known from Richmond in any denomination were a few double-digit $20s. That this lovely note is kept from the Gem designation by a virtually imperceptible center fold hardly matters, as it is unique as a single digit from this district in any denomination. A real prize for the many collectors who will vie for this item tonight.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #675 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
$10 1928* H St. Louis
The 1928 St. Louis star is not the most common star from the series, but this gorgeous example would make a perfect acquisition for the collector needing just one $10 1928 star. These early Fed stars have virtually disappeared from the market in the last few years. I can see a day when years will pass between offerings of even the most "common" stars.

Lot #679 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
$10 1928-C E Richmond
Ultra-rare does not begin to describe this piece. Even the most liberal census lists only nine examples placing it on par with the $1 1928-E silver star and multiple times rarer than the $10 1934 North Africa or $10 1933 silver certificate. The Oakes-Schwartz value of $2,500 seems ridiculously low for a note which we can find no public offerings of during the past decade.
Grade: Fine

Lot #680 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)

Lot #683 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
1934-D/1934-C* $10 C Philadelphia Star Changeover Pair
A blockbuster 1934-D/C reverse star changeover pair. I believe just three or foue of these pairs even exist, and they are very rarely offered for sale. Both of these are spectacular fresh gems, fully original and deeply embossed. Just a single 1934-C or 1934-D Philly star in this grade would be a prize in itself, but a star changeover pair is truly a trophy item. Given the serious interest in early stars I expect there will be considerable interest in this lot.

This pack has been carefully handled and demonstrates no bumped corners or other problems. Between the solid serial number, the other nine notes with seven in a row and 90 more pieces with at least six of a kind this pack has a value in excess of our high estimate. We sold a pack of $1 in November 2005 with the same serial numbers for $3,680, and it has $900 less in face value.

This offering is a truly amazing one indeed. Star notes in the 1928 $100 issue are very few and far between and this note has an inverted star at the upper right. The adjoining lot shown here has an inverted star on the other side. A rare note in top condition. It is such an unusual variety I wonder if there are others.

$100 1950 C Philadelphia
As the story goes, a couple of early coin dealers that dealt with King Farouk acquired this jewel for him but were never able to deliver it to him and eventually it ended up with the collecting public. Who knows if there is any truth to that story but we do know that there are very few serial #1 hundreds and even fewer opportunities to acquire one. This note is fresh and original but does have very slight handling.

$500 1928 A Boston
Here is a truly rare find and it is a beauty. The 1928 series $500 from Boston have always been as scarce as hen's teeth and here we have a newly added note to the census. This note looks like a Gem at a glance but there is a wisp of a fold and some handling on the right side. If you are building a district set this may well have been a stumbling block.

$1,000 1928 A Boston
Only when we get very lucky (like putting together a Memphis sale) do we get a chance to handle both a $500 and $1,000 1928 from Boston. These have proven to be nearly unavailable to the public in the recent collecting past. The demand from collectors seeking $1,000s has increased dramatically during the last 20 years, so too has the desirability of rarities like this early Boston. The note has a well hidden fold and some definite handling but the centering is decent and the color is strong.

This was Raymond Biswanger's favorite note in his collection. We had PCGS grade it because we wanted buyers to know it is special as it is graded Gem New 65PPQ. I have not heard of any graded higher by PCGS. This certainly may be the best of this issue ever put in a holder. Given that set of facts, I expect there to be real serious interest in the estimated range.

It has been countless years since the last public offering of a $5 silver certificate with inverted overprints, including the signatures and series. A visual treat and one of the great rarities in paper money errors. There are far more double denomination notes, which routinely bring $20,000, than examples of these. According to Frederick J. Bart, the total number of $5 blue seal inverts is less than six pieces, on all series combined. An important opportunity for an astute collector.

This error sequence is one of the rarest and most unusual ever seen on U.S. currency. Sometime after the back of the note was printed an unsuspecting BEP employee picked up the wrong sheet and flipped it over, then sent it back through the press where an upside down impression was printed on the back. Clearly you can view one complete back and the back from two other notes as well. In many ways this is much rarer than the full fourth printing we sold recently. Only available when the greatest collections are broken.

Minor misalignments are common, but major mistakes such as this come along only once every few years. Although the front is perfectly centered, the back is off by more than an inch. The specialists will call it an R-9 end-of-roll error, the rest of us call it cool.

Lot #879 - Error Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 20,000.00)
$1 2003* K / L San Francisco / Dallas
This unique star note error comes with a lengthy letter of authenticity by Frederick J. Bart, dated January 26, 2006, from which we borrow liberally here. In short, this was the top star note on a BEP-sealed brick which was blister packed or shrink wrapped. The discoverer could see not only the two normal "12s" on the right end, but also an additional district number, the number "11" through the shrink wrap. The entire brick was sent to Bart, who wisely photographed it before opening the plastic to examine the note. (A copy of the photograph accompanies this lot.) Bart examined all 1,000 notes in the brick and found none similar to the top note. The BEP bar code label on the outside of the shrink wrap indicates that the San Francisco star notes replaced a bad batch of notes intended for Dallas. (The original bar code accompanies this lot.) One can assume that either a press operator or roller transferred the numeral "11" from the previous Dallas production onto this note which has a complete San Francisco overprint. We concur with Bart who considers this note unique. The phrase "once-in-a-lifetime" is often overused, but it certainly seems appropriate here. Only one collector will own this item and it will redefine the caliber of the collection it enters. Four items included in this lot are: the error note, letter of authentication, photograph of note in shrink wrap and BEP bar code.

Ridiculously mis-aligned with everything out of kilter. We have sold a couple of notes which were slightly better at nearly $9,000 each. If you are seeking a wild-looking error at a reasonable price, fight hard for this piece. This is almost as nice. It comes with a strip from an RCGS holder grading it Gem CU-65. We heartily endorse this grade.

Universally regarded as the sexiest error. One of nine pieces which were acquired by Harry Jones at the Long Beach Show in 1981. Since that time collectors have considered these the crown jewels of paper money misprints. There have been no public or private offerings in three years, with the exception of a damaged example in early 2005. The last few to sell have all broken well into five figures and we expect this will outperform them.

Lot #887 - Error Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
$5 1974 E Richmond
A bizarre error that started as a sheet fold prior to the first (back) printing which was caught by the press machinery and torn before the back was printed. Somehow the note managed to cling to life and hung on through the remaining printings as the machinery completed the tear. Amazingly, probably through pressure alone, the torn fragment remained with the note until discovered in a pack. A wild error that took quite a jolting ride to survive for a collector to enjoy.

A very impressive and rare fourth printing on the face of this $5 New York FRN. This sheet must been mis-fed into the press causing a note with two backs, or should I say part of three backs. The sheet was then fed correctly into the press finishing the printing. An error unlike any I have handled before. It might have been cooler if it only had backs on both sides. Truly a classic error among collectors.

$10/$1 1950-A B New York/Silver Certificate
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 face 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. "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 Ave. in New York City to exchange it for a "good" bill. This Mrs. O'Connor refused, preferring to hold it as a souvenir" (from the Hans Schulman auction description).

Without question, this $5 Hawaii with an inverted third printing is one of the greatest error notes known. This dramatic item is striking in its appearance and that alone would be enough, but it also comes in a grade that could barely be improved. Among all types, the Hawaii errors are some of the most sought after and most elusive. Even when collectors who don't buy errors see this note, they start dreaming of ways it would fit into their collection. A fantastic trophy item that could bring a runaway price.

One of a literal handful of mistakes on any North Africa issue and the only error known on the late finished face plate #86. A nice butterfly corner fold. While this would hardly be exciting on a modern FRN, the fact that it is on a yellow seal North Africa makes this thrilling. Let it light up your collection.
