Globe, Territory of Arizona, NB, 8193
The Globe mining district was formed in 1872 with silver, and then copper, becoming the mainstays of this isolated area, about 100 miles from anywhere, but in the midst of the Apache, who were not at all enamored with the new settlers and they let that be known. Stories of just about everyone who was trouble in the early days of Arizona can be connected to Globe in some form; there is a rich history there. Within a state where rarity and Western romantic lore runs deep, this note still stands above nearly all others. This is an attractive Red Seal Territorial that is unique for the bank, having issued only 2,500 sheets of Red Seals and 1,018 sheets of Datebacks. This is the sole remaining example known to the collecting fraternity and, amongst collectors, it is exceeded in pure rarity only by the Bisbee note. Just two Brownback only banks remain unknown; both are on locations with multiple issuing banks, although neither issued more than 562 sheets nor stayed in business for over a year. This jewel is clearly Very Fine, with lightly-stamped signatures enhancing its appearance.

Phoenix, Territory of Arizona, NB of Arizona at Phoenix, 3728
Emil Ganz, President and S. Oberfelder, Cashier. The Territory of Arizona was formed in 1863, and did not become a state until 1912. The first national bank in the territory was chartered in Tucson in 1881. This bank was not far behind, being chartered in 1886. This great note passed from Ossie to Monte Sherwin, whose collection was part of the nucleus of the first Hickman-Oakes auction in 1976. The note sold then for $2,730, but expect to pay more today! Within the field of Territorial National Bank Notes of Arizona there are only three notes that are serial #1: a $10 Sandoval National Bank of Nogales, serial #1 Red Seal in VF, a First National Bank of Tucson, serial #1 $5 First Charter in VG/Fine and the note offered here, a $20 National Bank of Arizona at Phoenix in VF (all grades per census information). Clearly among those three this will most likely remain the most affordable to collectors, as the Nogales is in the Higgins Museum and the Tucson is part of a collection of #1 Territorials being currently formed, so I expect it to be in tight hands for the foreseeable future. You now have the opportunity to acquire this jewel that was last offered in 1997 as part of the J.L. Irish Collection of Territorials.

Kankakee, First NB, 1793
The First National Bank of Kankakee was established in Kankakee County on February 20, 1871. At that time they issued 1,000 sheets of $1-1-1-2 Original Series notes as part of their original capital. This serial #1 Lazy Deuce was saved as a souvenir by the bankers, and from the somewhat toned paper quality, it probably hung on the bank wall for years, or at least until they closed in 1916. From that point we know nothing of its history until its emergence on the numismatic market about five years ago. Since its return we have found the following interesting facts surrounding this note. The president of the bank, and signer of this note, was Emory Cobb, a native of New York State, being born in Dryden, New York in 1831. He became a telegraph operator, who went to Chicago in 1851 as a bookkeeper for Erie & Michigan Telegraph Company and the following year he became a manager. He soon supervised the merger of Chicago's three telegraph companies into the Western Union Telegraph Company, where he became superintendent of the Western Division in 1867. He introduced a plan to wire money by telegraph and within 10 years it was a mainstay of the business. In 1865 he took a health leave from Western Union, but remained a director. In Kankakee he had many successes including founding the First National Bank of Kankakee in 1871, the Arcade Building & Opera House in 1884, building the Riverview Hotel in 1887, organizing Kankakee Electric Railway in 1891 and creating Electric Park. He served on the University Of Illinois Board Of Directors from 1873 to 1893. The cashier of the bank, Helen Clarke, was the earliest known female that I have seen signing a National Bank Note. This note is a wonderful piece of banking history. The paper is toned, and there is a tiny tear in the top.

Each year I have the opportunity to handle many important notes, but from time to time we get to handle a truly exciting rarity and this is such a note. This was the first bank chartered, in 1865, on this Cole County location. There were 2,800 sheets of $1 and $2 First Charters printed. This is the first note printed by this bank, and it was saved quite well as it has even circulation. It also has clear, pen signatures of C.M. Dole, President and J. W. True, Cashier. I can find a Dole Building and a Dole Road, both in Mattoon today, but I found no other information on C.M. Dole. There are only 32 serial #1 Lazy Deuces recorded to date, and this jewel is new to that census.

Quincy, Merchants & Farmers NB, 703
If you have ever been to Quincy you know it is a beautiful old town on the Mississippi River, about 75 miles up-river from St. Louis. The town has been there a long time, and this National Bank was not even the first chartered in town. The bank was chartered in 1865 and closed in 1872 after issuing 5,671 sheets of $5, $10 and $20 First Charter Originals. This note is unique and, in my opinion, it is likely to stay that way. The note has impressive pen signatures of the Bull brothers.

Jackson, Peoples NB, M7494
This small town is located in Cape Girardeau County, in extreme southeast Missouri. There are only five notes reported from this bank that was chartered in 1904 and liquidated in 1928, with only 3,271 sheets printed. It is a rarity that has seldom been available. The pen signatures are clearly written, but I'm guessing at Wm. B. Schaefer and William Baer. Graded VF 25 by PMG.

That being said, I find this serial #1 set of $5, $10 and $20 on charter #1 as appealing as any set I have been able to offer. Each note is from the first sheet printed of the respective denomination and all are, of course, SERIAL #1. The $5 is a "B" position and the $10 and $20 are "D" position notes. The $20 has a horizontal fold across the otherwise UNC body. The grading is as follows: the $5 is Gem CU, the $10 is Gem CU and the $20 is Ch. AU. An important item for any National Bank Note enthusiasts.

Brigham City, First NB, 6036
This location was first explored by William Davison in 1850 and he returned a year later to settle. Brigham Young directed Lorenzo Snow to create a self-sufficient city there in 1853, which came to be named Box Elder. The name was changed in 1877 after Brigham Young gave his last public speech there that year. These notes were issued during a difficult economic period for Brigham City, so few were issued or have survived. This note is new to the census, and there is probably only one note that may be a better grade.

Ogden, First NB, P2597
Here is a note that you will rarely have the opportunity to find for sale, because despite the fact that there are 51 large notes reported, there are only two 1882 Datebacks, and both are similar grade. There are 13 notes in the census that are not blue seal 1902s. This note has amazing signatures, but an odd cut along the top. Apparently the bank employee in charge of cutting the sheets was not paying attention to the task at hand. Signed by M. Browning, President. A rarity that deserves serious consideration.

The serial #2 $10, $20 and $50 have all appeared in the census and it seems reasonable that several of these were presentation notes, with the #1 notes still intact somewhere (my assumption). This note is a beauty, and it is rare that you can get both the #2 $10 and #2 $50 in the same sale. The quality is better on the $10, but the $50 is a $50.

Major misalignment; among the most breath-taking of all errors. Identical in every regard to the piece illustrated in the Bart reference. In the past three years, two other examples have brought around $9,000. The back is as off-center as the front. Errors just don’t come with any more eye-appeal than this.

Long considered the “sexiest” of all paper money errors. One would be hard-pressed to find any misprint with more eye-appeal than the double printed deuce. About nine pieces showed up at the Long Beach show in 1981, where they were quickly acquired by Harry Jones. This is a classic example of “expensive but worth it” in the field of paper money. It seems that one of these sells every one to two years and each brings more than the last example. When we sold the last note, it went into five figures easily. This identical note should beat that benchmark. As history has proven, there is no point waiting, unless you wish to pay more.

This is a consecutive run of notes that came from a pack of twenties. These are a mixed denomination run caused when a few sheets of $50s were included for overprinting with a sheet of $20s. You can see the overprint is out of position on the $50s. Only three other times do we know of this problem occurring. This group came from the Ray Ellenbogen Collection.

$20 1995 D Cleveland
This is an ultra-rare pre-printing stock error. Research by Frederick Bart lists only three known examples, of which this is one. This piece had four circular solid black marks applied to the currency paper before the printings; every error expert to examine the note has arrived at the same conclusion. As if the pre-printed stock error were not enough, this incredible piece also has the overprint on the back, solidly qualifying as a legitimate double error. A combination which makes us shake our heads in utter disbelief. In establishing the value of any item of which only three exist, the estimate can be tricky. A nearly identical error note in our November 2005 sale brought a hammer price of $9,500.

Overprint on back; a very scarce error on the $100 denomination with precious few examples on the big head design.

1˘ Ayers Sarsaparilla
EP-4a HB-28 This is a lovely encasement with top quality mica, a bold 1˘ stamp (much scarcer than the 3˘ of the same issue) and fully silvered back. Encasements of this high quality are seldom seen so expect a lot of action on this lot.
Grade: Ch. CU   
Lot #1739 - Encased Postage - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
1˘ Burnett's Standard Cooking
EP-10 HB-81 Here is a second one-cent encasement that also has a lot going for it. The 1˘ Burnett's Standard Cooking is far rarer than the 3˘, 5˘ or 10˘ of the same issue. This lovely piece exhibits wonderful mica, a very bright, well centered stamp and an almost fully silvered case that will be a treasure in any collection.
Grade: Ch. CU   
Lot #1740 - Encased Postage - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
3˘ Ayers Cathartic Pills
EP-32 HB-6 This is the long arrows variety of the 3˘ Cathartic Pills. Cathartic Pills were used to "loosen you up" when you found yourself "plugged", thus the wording on this piece where it says, "The Currency To Pass," is truly a neat double entendre. A true XF piece with nice stamp, mica and frame.
Grade: XF   
Lot #1741 - Encased Postage - ($ 275.00 - $ 400.00)
3˘ Take Ayers Pills
EP-33 HB-18 There may be no bolder ad on encasement than Take Ayers Pills! While the case shows the fact it was cleaned long ago and is starting to re-tone, the stamp and the mica can be called Fine condition. Perfect as a "type" encased.

Obverse is black and white and states, "Rev. B.F. Larrabee, President & Proprietor, on the first Day of October, 1879, will pay to ____ or Bearer Twenty Dollars." Front vignettes show a portrait of Larrabee (?) on the right and a hand, lamp and book on the left. The reverse is black and green with a large, detailed rendition of the school in an oval, flanked by a map of Alabama on the left and an eagle on the right. Imprint: Litho. of Weed, Darsons & Co., Albany, NY. This cleverly designed note states that the note bears 8% interest per annum, and is receivable in payment for board and tuition at a 5% premium. Further conditions state that the interest is redeemable in three years at par in the U.S. currency, at the option of the proprietor, payable in five years, on demand, in U.S. currency. It is not clear whether this was a legitimate operation, or a clever scam. Either way, every attempt was made to give this note the appearance of U.S. currency. There is a sticker attached to the back that reads, "C.B. Verner, Tuscaloosa, Ala, 8/3/03." Well-centered.

Black and white, but appears to be light blue-green because of the map on the reverse that shows through. Center vignette of a soaring eagle. This remarkable set of four notes in this sale are attributed by Schingoethe as Connecticut, but there is no indication of origin on the notes themselves. The somewhat crude style, along with the use of "cents" and "pence", seems that these are very early, probably 1930s. The four notes make a very interesting set with the "4-1/6 cents - $1/24" and "16-2/3 cents - $1/6" being among the most unusual denominations of any North American paper money.
