Lot #2000 - United States Paper Money > Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 6,500.00 - $ 9,500.00)
Fr. 2 $5 1861
Here is a perfect Demand Note for the collector. PMG has noted "minor restoration" and either the work was very well done or the problem was very small. Either way, I am hard-pressed to say for sure just where the repair is located. Other than that, you get all you would expect of a note in this grade, including great signatures, complete margins and excellent detail.
Grade: PMG VF 20

Lot #2001 - United States Paper Money > Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 3,350.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 2 $5 1861
Here is a pleasing circulated $5 "Greenback". The signatures are strong and the back is clean and shows great detail. There is some repair work done around the edges as CGA has annotated on the holder.
Grade: CGA Fine 12, restored

Lot #2002 - United States Paper Money > Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 2 $5 1861
The soiled quarter-panel on the front and some minor margin splits seem out of place with the generally clean and blemish-free back. The signatures are also faded.
Grade: VG

Lot #2003 - United States Paper Money > Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 2 $5 1861
A solid note with a number of characteristics, though minor, edge splits. The highest serial number in the census.
Grade: VG

Lot #2004 - United States Paper Money > Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 3 $5 1861
The margins are complete, although thin in a few places. Several edge splits are noticed, the largest of which has undergone an attempted repair. These were fragile notes and many did not survive. The census currently lists 99 examples.
Grade: VG

Lot #2005 - United States Paper Money > Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 15,000.00)
Fr. 6 $10 1861
This note has been off the market for more than a decade when it was sold by CAA. The note is evenly circulated and graded Apparent VF 20 for its minor expert restoration. The $10 Demand Notes are few and far between, and this is an evenly circulated example.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20

Lot #2006 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 16 $1 1862
A beautiful, unmolested note, just the way collectors like 'em. The margins are wider than usual.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2007 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 16 $1 1862
Folded and carried until the folds began to split. PMG has assigned a Fine 15 Net grade and noted "split repairs". That seems about right.
Grade: PMG Ch. Fine 15 Net

Lot #2008 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 16a $1 1862
This is the far rarer variety, showing a mere 39 examples in the census. The note picked up very little handling before it was twice folded and put away. Those folds are on the heavy side with splits at either side and a short tear at the top. Overall, the piece is bright and attractive and highly desirable for the grade.
Grade: XF

Lot #2009 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 825.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 17a $1 1862
The grade results from a number of vertical folds, rather than general use. There is no damage or repairs, but the paper is toned a little.
Grade: PCGS VF 25 PPQ

Lot #2010 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 550.00 - $ 750.00)
Fr. 19 $1 1874
Clean surfaces and decent margins combine in this pleasing one-year type.
Grade: VF

Lot #2011 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 22 $1 1875-B
This is the very scarce Series B, of which just 22 examples have been recorded. Unfortunately, someone, not understanding the note's rarity, tried to turn George into Martha. That alteration has been reversed as well as can be expected without the help of a professional. A rarity that will be affordable, though hard to predict.
Grade: VG/Fine

Lot #2012 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 23 $1 1875-C
This Series C is one of 37 examples. While it is lower grade than most, it is a solid piece with few distractions.
Grade: VG/Fine

Lot #2013 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 24 $1 1875-D
The 1875 Series D is the rarest of the five suffix notes. Track & Price has recorded only 17 pieces in all. This example, well used as it is, has excellent margins and some medium staining at the right. All of the examples offered in the last five years have been higher grade and priced in the thousands. Finally a piece for the more modest buyer.
Grade: VG

Lot #2014 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,300.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 26 $1 1875
A delightful example to represent the type. It is easy to see why PMG awarded the note its "EPQ" rating.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ

Lot #2015 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,650.00 - $ 2,250.00)
Fr. 27 $1 1878
The bottom margin gets close at the right, but you will like the blue end paper across the top.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ

Lot #2016 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 27 $1 1878
The blue end paper across the top is a nice feature on this original AU. A piece of tape covering a short margin splits is long gone, leaving only some residue at the right.
Grade: AU

Lot #2017 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 29 $1 1880
The margin nearly touches at one corner, so the grading services would likely put this bright and colorful note at a "64", and mention the note's originality.
Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #2018 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,350.00 - $ 1,750.00)
Fr. 30 $1 1880
This note is BEP fresh, exhibiting all the features one would expect for a note that was just printed. The centering could be better, however.
Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #2019 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,175.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 31 $1 1880
This is the most available signature combination of a distinctly better variety with the blue serial numbers. Attractive for the assigned grade and a bit conservative. Could easily qualify for any VF to AU type set.
Grade: PCGS VF 30 PPQ

Lot #2020 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,100.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 31 $1 1880
This Friedberg number has not received the respect that it is due, since the Fr. 32 and Fr. 33 get so much more attention. However, just 134 examples have been located. This high-end, circulated note has excellent margins and original paper, but a small amount of soiling at the right.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2021 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 32 $1 1880
The classic three-fold XF, where a CU note was folded and put away. The chocolate-brown seal is striking against the pure white paper. The census shows 65 notes in Track & Price.
Grade: XF

Lot #2022 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 33 $1 1880
The rarest of this trio with the blue serial numbers. Track & Price indicates a paltry 30 examples are known in all grades. This middle-grade specimen has some scattered pinholes in the portrait. One of the few instances where there are more CUs known than circs, by a ratio of more than three to one.
Grade: VF

Lot #2023 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 34 $1 1880
A full Gem but for two tiny pinholes. The colors and originality are amazing.
Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #2024 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 250.00 - $ 500.00)
Fr. 35 $1 1880
An evenly circulated note that just makes the grade.
Grade: VF

Lot #2025 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 250.00 - $ 350.00)
Fr. 36 $1 1917
A couple of extremely faint bends are untouched, as is the rest of this nearly CU type note. Pieces like this always bring more than sheet.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #2026 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 175.00 - $ 350.00)
Fr. 37 $1 1917
A very attractive AU $1 Legal Tender with even centering.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #2027 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 100.00 - $ 200.00)
Fr. 37 $1 1917
Nearly XF, but down-graded due to some discoloration in the top left corner.
Grade: VF

Lot #2028 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 37a $1 1917
The rare variety with the transposed signatures. There are 102 notes in the census, yet this variety remains as hard to get as it is popular.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ

Lot #2029 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,750.00 - $ 4,500.00)
Fr. 38 $1 1917 Mule
Collectors continue to clamor for original runs of large size notes to keep them together, while many dealers chose to break them into individual sales. Whatever your preference, this unusual run consists of mule notes which combine the back plates in use during John Burke s tenure with face plates bearing Frank White s signature. As time goes on, we genuinely expect there to be more attention and premium paid to large size mules, due to pioneering work by Doug Murray. Anyhow, three of us have studied these six notes and cannot account for the variation in grade. Each appears to be Choice CU EPQ to our eyes. So while we re left scratching our heads, we re offering this as it came. PMG has graded two notes as Ch. CU 63 EPQ and four notes as Ch. AU 58 EPQ. Six piece lot.
Grade: PMG Graded

Lot #2030 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 38* $1 1917 Mule
This star just screams with originality. I see three folds and little else, so this has to be right at the top-end of VF 35 PPQ.
Grade: PCGS VF 35 PPQ

Lot #2031 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 425.00 - $ 525.00)
Fr. 38 $1 1917
This note looks pretty nice, but I do spot a tiny tip fold, which is probably why it is a "64".
Grade: CGA Ch. UNC 64

Lot #2032 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 125.00 - $ 250.00)
Fr. 38 $1 1917
Bold colors and stark-white paper. Consecutive to another note in the sale and just as pretty.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2033 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 125.00 - $ 250.00)
Fr. 38 $1 1917
Wow, what a vivid note! Not a bit of dirt and 100% original. Only four folds.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2034 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 100.00 - $ 200.00)
Fr. 39 $1 1917
Traces of embossing remain on this natural example.
Grade: VF

Lot #2035 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
An attractive Legal Tender with a cherry-red seal.
Grade: RCGS Gem CU 65

Lot #2036 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 1,750.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
A fresh, original Red Seal $1 from 1923, a type that is popular among collectors.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ

Lot #2037 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
The margins are exceptionally well-balanced for a note at the Choice CU level. Additionally, both the seal and serials remain bold red. Although there is no EPQ assignment on the holder, original embossing is evident.
Grade: PMG Ch. CU 63

Lot #2038 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
Pronounced embossing and bold colors are noted on this beautiful, nearly uncirculated note.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 55 EPQ

Lot #2039 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
Far rarer than its blue seal partner in the Silvers. There is some wallet staining at the right, which is more noticeable on the back.
Grade: VF

Lot #2040 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 41 $2 1862
A difficult and avidly collected type. The margins on this example are unbelievable. The colors and white paper are equally nice.
Grade: CGA Gem UNC 67

Lot #2041 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 41 $2 1862
Three lone vertical folds show a tiny bit of splitting at the edges on the two outer folds. That is not a major distraction on such an attractive and well-margined note.
Grade: XF

Lot #2042 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 41 $2 1862
I can't recall another example of this type that had a seal as well inked as this one. The bold colors don't stop there either. The only fault worth mentioning is a frayed bottom edge that has a couple of old-time patches on the back. The tiny splits are not significant and hardly affects the overall appeal.
Grade: VF

Lot #2043 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 20,000.00 - $ 25,000.00)
Fr. 42 $2 1869
A gorgeous Rainbow Deuce in "65 EPQ" by PMG. Quality like this is hard to find and generally even more difficult to buy when you do find it. The rainbow colors and the centering certainly exhibit the quality desired for a "65 PPQ".
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ

Lot #2044 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,750.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 42 $2 1869
Excellent margins on this popular Deuce. Perfectly suited for the grade, although to be accurate, we have to mention a small margin split at the top.
Grade: VF

Lot #2045 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 43 $2 1874
This is a lovely example of this 1874 Series $2 Allison-Spinner with the deep reddish seal and flourish. I am very surprised that it's not graded PPQ.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64

Lot #2046 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 44 $2 1875
This better Friedberg number has one horizontal fold and a number of much lighter vertical folds. Absolutely no problems and a wonderful note for the collector.
Grade: VF +

Lot #2047 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 44 $2 1875
This is the 1875 Series with the Allison-New signatures. The quality looks better than VF 35 but there is slight paper toning.
Grade: CGA VF 35

Lot #2048 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 47 $2 18785
Great color and body but an internal tear on the back has been fixed with a stamp hinge.
Grade: VF

Lot #2049 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 48 $2 1878
This ornate design is rarely offered in this grade, with excellent margins and originality.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 53 PPQ

Lot #2050 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 250.00 - $ 500.00)
Fr. 48 $2 1878
This colorful note has unfortunately been trimmed to the design on all sides.
Grade: VF

Lot #2051 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 15,000.00)
Fr. 49 $2 1878
This famous rarity is seldom offered either privately or publicly. It is no wonder, with a mere 17 notes in the census. This note looks every bit a VF, but as PCGS has indicated, there are edge restorations. The work was well done and you would not notice a thing when viewing the front. Great color and margins.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 30

Lot #2052 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 50 $2 1880
A faint center bend and a bluish tinted back is noticed.
Grade: AU

Lot #2053 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 925.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 52 $2 1880
The folds are light, giving this large brown seal the look of a much higher grade. Very pleasing overall.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2054 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 53 $2 1880
We have only sold four examples of this rare Friedberg number in VF and below in the last 18 years. If you have been waiting for a nice average-circulated copy, this damage-free piece will serve you well. Off the market since 1990 and a testament to how tightly held these rarities can be.
Grade: VG +

Lot #2055 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 55 $2 1880
A single centerfold and a light brown stain at the right is noticed on this rare Friedberg number. Only 44 pieces are in the census managed by Track & Price. That's about one-fourth the number known for the Fr. 56, its type mate. A circulated example of this note was not available at a major auction for all of 2008.
Grade: XF

Lot #2056 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 325.00 - $ 525.00)
Two Piece Lot
This two piece lot includes a Fr. 57 $2 1917 Legal that has some staining in spots, along with a Fr. 228 $1 1899 Eagle that is a beautiful and original three-fold XF.
Grade: VF & XF

Lot #2057 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
Fr. 58 $2 1917
Equidistant margins and a darkly inked design is noted.
Grade: CU

Lot #2058 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 325.00 - $ 425.00)
Fr. 58 $2 1917
A common sight in peoples' wallets of the day, although this note spent very little time there. Extremely fresh.
Grade: XF

Lot #2059 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 60* $2 1917
Large size star notes are never common. While the Fr 60* is not especially rare, few examples exist in this incredible state of preservation. Centering is more than acceptable and the inks are bold. Although this note could easily pass for Ch. CU, careful inspection reveals a soft bend (not a fold or crease). The Murray book suggests a value of $1,500 in AU and this is a premium example.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #2060 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 150.00 - $ 300.00)
Fr. 60 $2 1917
Bright and fresh.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2061 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 61 $5 1862 No Series
This is the rare variety with no "series" on the front. Only 11 notes have been found so far and most are in very low grade. Actually just two pieces are shown to be better than Fine 12. A rare piece and a well established variety.
Grade: CGA Fine 12, restored

Lot #2062 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 62 $5 1862
This is the rarest of the $5 1862/1863 notes with the exception of the Fr. 61 "No Series" note. The Track & Price total will move to 57 pieces with the addition of this new discovery. The note has complete margins, though they are tight at the top left. Only a few circulated examples have been available over the last few years. Certainly a "VF 25" and perhaps a touch better.
Grade: VF

Lot #2063 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 5,500.00)
Fr. 63 $5 1863 Proof
Everything you d expect out of an early proof: crisply impressed design highlighting the geometric lathe work in turning the back design of our nation s earliest circulation $5. This is executed on India paper mounted to cardboard stock. A closed tear accounts for the restored comment.
Grade: RCGS Crisp CU 61

Lot #2064 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 64 $5 1869
This Rainbow $5 exhibits intense blues, greens and reds. The colors that lend the note its nickname are as strong as they come. If the margins were better, the note would no doubt be in "65" territory.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64

Lot #2065 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,675.00 - $ 4,500.00)
Fr. 64 $5 1869
Completely original paper and good margins are features of this example. A drop of extra printer's ink from when the note was printed is partly hidden in the design.
Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #2066 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 4,500.00)
Fr. 65 $5 1875
This is the first Woodchopper employing the large embellishment at the right and is rather scarce with only 61 examples known. This one is richly colored.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ

Lot #2067 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 65 $5 1875
The folds are generally light on this richly colored note with the rose overprint. New to the census, which now stands at 62. The second rarest of the four $5 1875 series.
Grade: XF

Lot #2068 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 66 $5 1875-A
The "Series A 1875" overprint at the bottom is lightly inked and incomplete, but the serial number confirms that this is indeed a Fr. 66. The note grades a solid VF, but the ornate embellishments and seal are blurry. This is an extremely rare variety which has only 23 examples recorded before this piece surfaced. We have not offered a mid-grade example like this in an eon.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2069 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,350.00 - $ 4,500.00)
Fr. 67 $5 1875 B
Here is a Series B that exhibits an intense red overprint and even borders, plus natural surfaces. Obviously, PMG agrees.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ

Lot #2070 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 67 $5 1875-D
This partner to the Series A is much more available. There should be lots of interest in this pleasing example.
Grade: VF

Lot #2071 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 68 $5 1875
This note is from an original pack that was broken many years ago. Many of the numbers have been seen and at last this one can be added to the list. Conditions run the gamut, with this example falling in line at AU due to a corner fold. With the nice fresh color and detail, I'd expect this note to bring a strong price.
Grade: AU/CU

Lot #2072 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 71 $5 1880
This deeply embossed large brown seal $5 looks to be fully qualified for the "66" grade given by CGC. The top and bottom margins are certainly as wide as I have ever seen.
Grade: CGC Superb Gem 66

Lot #2073 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,700.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 71 $5 1880
A tight bottom-right corner has to be the primary reason for the grade. The rest of the note looks super.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ

Lot #2074 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 71 $5 1880
Bold inks and colors highlight this popular large brown seal type. A straight pin has left a couple holes in the center, however. You'll be hard pressed to find a decent middle-grade circulated example on this number. Track & Price indicates that virtually all the notes offered are CUs.
Grade: VF

Lot #2075 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 73 $5 1880
The front color and margins are good, and the note even has clear, original embossing. The back however, has a definite bluish tint.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64

Lot #2076 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 73 $5 1880
Nice original embossing, but there is a touch of fading to the top edge of the seal.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63

Lot #2077 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 225.00 - $ 450.00)
Fr. 74 $5 1880
This is another Friedberg number that you'll find in CU faster than you can locate an average circulated example.
Grade: Fine

Lot #2078 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 450.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 76 $5 1880
An extremely pleasing note for the grade and totally problem-free. Only 68 examples are known in all grades.
Grade: Fine

Lot #2079 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 650.00 - $ 1,300.00)
Fr. 77 $5 1880
About as rare as the Fr. 76 with 72 notes in the census, so this new find will add to that total. It has been a long while since a note in this grade has crossed the block. Evenly circulated with no tears, pinholes or blemishes.
Grade: VF +

Lot #2080 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 925.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 79 $5 1880
This choice centered $5 has colors that leap off the paper. The census shows 86 notes.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ

Lot #2081 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 80 $5 1880
One vertical crease and a light bend is all that is keeping this utterly original note from a Choice CU grade. These folds are virtually invisible except when viewed at an angle. This should bring a premium price.
Grade: XF/AU

Lot #2082 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 4,500.00)
Fr. 81 $5 1880
If you picked this striking note to represent the 1880 Woodchopper series, no one would say you didn't choose well.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ

Lot #2083 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 82 $5 1880
This is the last of the 1880 Woodchoppers and to date only 49 pieces have been traced. A solid note for the grade.
Grade: VF

Lot #2084 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
Fr. 84 $5 1907
Nicely centered, but a few tip folds are noticed, as well as a faint horizontal bend.
Grade: XF

Lot #2085 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 86 $5 1907
An exceptional specimen of this difficult signature combination. Just three folds and some light embossing is seen on this Napier-Thompson note. Fifty-nine pieces are listed.
Grade: XF

Lot #2086 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 250.00 - $ 500.00)
Fr. 86 $5 1907
Many collectors chase after the Carmi Thompson signature, and this note will have its share of interest. Good body for the grade, but the red overprint has an orange tint.
Grade: Fine

Lot #2087 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
Fr. 88 $5 1907
Excellent for type.

Lot #2088 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 200.00 - $ 400.00)
Fr. 89 $5 1907
Solid for the grade and with the usual minor faults one should expect. Somewhat scarce with 81 notes recorded.
Grade: VG

Lot #2089 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 150.00 - $ 300.00)
Fr. 90 $5 1907
Nice for the grade. One minute split in the top margin.
Grade: Fine

Lot #2090 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 850.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 91 $5 1907
A very small gutter between notes on the sheet meant that most of these $5s had at least one tight margin. A thin margin here has less affect on the price than on a note with expected large margins. Snow-white paper and loud colors.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ

Lot #2091 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 200.00 - $ 300.00)
Fr. 91 $5 1907
A fresh, original Pioneer Family note with great originality and several pinholes.
Grade: VF +

Lot #2092 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 92 $5 1907
A lovely, uncirculated note that acquired a single light center bend. This is the last of the Woodchopper series and is about 20 times more rare than the Fr. 91. Totally original and with a sharp image.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #2093 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 8,500.00 - $ 12,500.00)
Fr. 93 $10 1862
This beautiful AU could hold its own next to other uncirculated examples, as it has full color, a fully inked seal and decent margins for the issue. A few corner folds and tip bends are not easily seen and there is a very small repaired tear at the bottom, which PMG has noted on the holder. A hard grade to locate.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 53

Lot #2094 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,675.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 94 $10 1862
The paper quality and brightness on this $10 are more reminiscent of a $1 note from the same era. That alone should propel the price beyond any "normal" VF/XF. Add in the bold red seal and green under print and you have a winner. Only 44 examples are recorded, with this piece in the top five of the recorded grades. Two tiny margin splits that don't intrude on the design, affect nothing.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2095 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 95 $10 1863
Excellent margins surround a well-inked face and back. Close scrutiny reveals no problems whatsoever. Only 52 examples are recorded in the census of this difficult note.
Grade: CGA VF 35

Lot #2096 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 12,500.00 - $ 20,000.00)
Fr. 95b $10 1863
Flawless rendering of the first $10 intended for general circulation. Original embossing is plainly evident through the holder. The red overprint is strikingly bold and the forest green inks deeply imprinted. There is not even a hint of single issue on any of the edges, which commonly plague these early issues. Additionally, the margins are more generous than most of these.
Grade: RCGS Ch. CU 63 PQ

Lot #2097 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 95b $10 1863
A presentable copy of this early type in spite of the small piece that is missing from the top margin and a couple of brown spots.
Grade: Fine

Lot #2098 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 25,000.00 - $ 30,000.00)
Fr. 96 $10 1869
This incredible Rainbow $10 is tied for the finest graded at either major grading service. The rainbow colors are clearly evident on this exceptional piece of paper. If you demand the finest from life, this is it in a $10 Rainbow.
Grade: PCGS Superb Gem New 67 PPQ

Lot #2099 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 96 $10 1869
Energetic colors abound on this Rainbow Ten. This note is so pretty you won't even care that the lower margin isn't full all the way. Original embossing is present, but like most notes of this type, that embossing is not well pronounced.
Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #2100 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 96 $10 1869
Eye-popping color and full margins will guarantee a full compliment of bidders. Three half-bends are the only hint of circulation, along with a pin-prick size rust hole. The back touches the design at the bottom. This note screams original!
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #2101 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 100 $10 1880
Extra nice for the grade, this note could find its way into a VF holder at some point. Full margins and great color. Uncirculated examples, or AUs, have been the only grades available in the last 10 years, creating a real pent-up demand for a nice circ like this.
Grade: F/VF

Lot #2102 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 101 $10 1880
This totally original note from the Atlantic Collection has tremendous eye-appeal.

Grade: VF +

Lot #2104 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 103 $10 1880
A wholly original note from a CU run. The census shows a total of 98 notes currently, made up of a group covering about 50 numbers and another with a range of about 100 pieces. The few stragglers outside of those two ranges shows that this would have been a rather scarce number without those groups. A lovely note.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ

Lot #2105 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 104 $10 1880
A few inconsequential margin splits that are clear of the design will not hurt the value of this evenly used $10 1880. Only 41 examples in the census.
Grade: VG

Lot #2106 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 107 $10 1880
This superbly centered note has bright paper and color. I'm at a loss to say why it has not found its way into a third-party holder, as I see no problems at all.
Grade: Gem CU

Lot #2107 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 108 $10 1880
If one counts the folds/bends in this note you would end up with five, making this a VF 35 +. However, the note is so fresh and original, any grade less than XF would be unfair. Plenty of embossing is still visible and the margins are more than adequate. A tiny scuff at the top right affects little. The overall look of this note is so superior it would rival most AUs in a side-by-side comparison.
Grade: XF

Lot #2108 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 112 $10 1880
This is a surprisingly difficult signature combination for the small red seals. Just 38 were in the census before this one turned up. A few brown spots are noticed.
Grade: Fine

Lot #2109 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,175.00 - $ 4,250.00)

Grade: PCGS XF 40

Lot #2110 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 117 $10 1901
There are two better signature combinations for the Buffalo series, and this is one of them. This example was last seen in 1990, and is returning to help build another collection. Some light brown coloration is noted in the bottom margin but the rest of the note is well into the VF range.
Grade: VF +

Lot #2111 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 7,800.00 - $ 12,500.00)
Fr. 119 $10 1901
Full margins, especially on the front, enhance this vivid example. One of the better Friedberg numbers for the type.

Lot #2112 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,750.00 - $ 5,500.00)
Fr. 119 $10 1901
The blood-red seal and serial numbers on this three-folded Bison are intense. The black ink is equally dark and detailed. Only one in one-hundred notes will have the impact of this amazing example. Don't expect to buy this at bid!
Grade: XF

Lot #2113 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 5,000.00)

Lot #2114 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 122 $10 1901
This most attractive Buffalo has picked up an opposing pair of spindle holes during its brief stint in commerce. They are not at all obvious and won't lessen the competition for this popular type note.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2115 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 30,000.00 - $ 40,000.00)
Fr. 123 $10 1923
This beautiful $10 Poker Chip back Legal Tender has to be one of the finest ever seen. It has extraordinary centering and exceptional color. It exudes embossing even from within the holder. When you have reached the point where only the finest quality will do then this should be your purchase. The serial number range apparently has the best of these seen based on a serial number survey.

Lot #2117 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 123 $10 1923
In every sale, we have multiple bidders vying for the chance to own a Jackson ten, no matter the grade. Fortunately this is a solid VF, with no problems of any sort. The colors are excellent and the margins almost perfect. In other words, there is no reason not to bid aggressively.
Grade: VF

Lot #2118 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 123 $10 1923
The folds are well hidden on this $10 and the margins are full. Regretfully, the overprint has bled through to the back and lost some color. Still, this is a scarce type.

Lot #2120 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,675.00 - $ 4,500.00)
Fr. 124 $20 1862
Notes of this issue that approach this degree of use normally show extensive tears or splits around the edges. Happily this example appears to be virtually free of those types of imperfections. What you get is an evenly circulated note with good design details and bold colors.
Grade: CGA Fine 15

Lot #2121 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 124 $20 1862
A well-used example, missing some paper around the edges and exhibiting some large tears. This type, with the first obligation on the back, is missing from most collections. Here is a chance at an example that won't cost a fortune. A name is also stamped in a back margin.
Grade: Good

Lot #2122 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 125 $20 1862
This variety is even scarcer than the Fr. 124, since Track & Price has recorded 35 examples. The note is intact, showing a few insignificant margin splits. A number of pinholes are also observed, but they are not uncommon for the grade and do not detract. The 1862 series, but with the second obligation on back.
Grade: VG

Lot #2123 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 126 $20 1863
The rough margins need to be overlooked when one considers the purchase of such a scarce note. Well under three dozen pieces have been recorded in all grades. The missing corner adds character.
Grade: VG

Lot #2124 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 40,000.00 - $ 60,000.00)
Fr. 126b $20 1863
Notes of this type simply don't come much better than this. The margins are full and the colors stupendous. PCGS has graded only two others of equal quality and have yet to grade one in "66" or above. PMG has graded two in "65" and one in "66". Compare that to the 49 $5 Educationals in Gem or above of the single most common signature combination. A $5 Educational note in Gem has brought nearly $20,000 within the last year. If one compares relative rarities, it is easy to see how undervalued this $20 Legal is on the current market. A great note with great potential.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ

Lot #2125 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 15,000.00)
Fr. 128 $20 1875
A bright and colorful example of a lesser seen type. Some of these have no margin at all, so this note is a pleasant change. Often confused with the Fr. 129 which has over three times as many notes known. There may be a light corner bend, but it doesn't affect the design.
Grade: CGA Gem UNC 66

Lot #2126 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,700.00 - $ 5,000.00)

Lot #2127 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 129 $20 1878
The more common 1878 series with the double "XX". Like most PCGS 58 PPQ notes, it will be hard to identify what it was that cost this note a CU grade. An incredible value at anywhere near the minimum.

Lot #2128 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 131 $20 1880
Under two dozen collectors will be able to own a copy of this large brown seal with the Bruce-Gilfillan signatures. The note faces up nicely but has a worn back.
Grade: VG

Lot #2129 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 132 $20 1880
The colors are good despite the circulation wear. Also seen are a number of pinholes, some large. Still, a decent-looking note for a circulated set.
Grade: VG/Fine

Lot #2130 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 625.00 - $ 825.00)
Fr. 134 $20 1880

Lot #2132 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 12,500.00 - $ 25,000.00)
Fr. 136 $20 1880
The colors are absolutely electric on this wide margined specimen from the Atlantic Collection. CGC has called it an Ultra Gem and I see nothing that would cause me to disagree. A very rare note in this state of perfection. PMG and PCGS have each seen just one note that could be its equal. The Flynn example from last April was a PMG 66 EPQ that brought $11,500. This note has better margins. Notes like this, that are sold so infrequently, are hard to estimate, but if past sales are any indication I would think our estimate would be in range.
Grade: CGC Ultra Gem 67

Lot #2133 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 6,500.00 - $ 13,000.00)

Lot #2134 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,675.00 - $ 2,000.00)

The lightly flattened folds have nearly melted away, giving this note the appearance of a higher grade. Track & Price lists 84 known examples.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2135 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 137 $20 1880
Generous margins frame this note with its bright red spiked seal. A shotgun pattern of pinholes at the bottom can't be denied, but they are not overly conspicuous.
Grade: VF

Lot #2136 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 139 $20 1880
An exceedingly elusive Friedberg number that rarely appears for sale. Even the Tom Flynn Collection only contained a note in similar grade to the piece we offer here. Track & Price shows just 20 examples in all grades, with none reaching uncirculated. A few minor margin splits and a fragile corner are mentioned for accuracy.
Grade: VG/Fine

Lot #2137 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 143 $20 1880
Lightly washed and with a few pinholes. Still, an attractive piece worthy of your attention. A slightly scarcer Friedberg number within this design type.
Grade: F/VF

Lot #2138 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 144 $20 1880
Bold colors grace this decidedly better number. With only 42 notes in the census, you won't get many opportunities at such an appealing, circulated example.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #2139 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 850.00 - $ 1,700.00)
Fr. 145 $20 1880
It has been over three years since we last offered a circulated example of this Friedberg number. A solid and well-appointed note for the grade, although it does carry a few pinholes.
Grade: VF

Lot #2140 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 146 $20 1880
It is a real treat to offer such a large selection of these $20s. The pronounced vignettes and red overprint stand out in spite of the circulation. A difficult grade to obtain.
Grade: Fine

Lot #2141 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
Fr. 147 $20 1880
By far the most available note of the type. This note probably sat in the sun as the overprint is substantially faded.
Grade: XF, faded seal

Lot #2142 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 50,000.00 - $ 75,000.00)
Fr. 148 $50 1862
An extraordinarily rare type for which new discoveries are few and far between. This new find adds to the previously recorded two dozen examples. Graded by PMG as a VF 25 Net, due to ink and professional restoration. That restoration appears to be confined solely to the outer edges of the note. Because of the fragile nature of the paper used on this series, virtually all the known examples have undergone some sort of repair at one time or another. Even with the Net grade, this note is in the top seven for condition. We last sold a Fine in November 2006 for $32,200 and a Fine 12 brought nearly $30,000 in 2007. There has been nothing available since then, so we expect considerable interest in this piece. The seal could be brighter but the rest of the colors are bold and not lacking any details.
Grade: PMG VF 25 Net

Lot #2143 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 20,000.00 - $ 40,000.00)
Fr. 151 $50 1869
The $50 Rainbow, also known as the Henry Clay note, is a very scarce, one-issue type. Only 62 pieces are in the census, but since that is for this single signature combination it is not really sufficient for all the collectors who will ultimately aspire to own one. This high-end Fine has some minor restoration at the edges in a few places (as most of these notes do), but the work was well-executed and only serves to improve the appearance. The colors are absolutely awesome and are something you would expect on a VF or XF, but not necessarily on a note in this grade. One of those classic rarities that never falls out of favor.
Grade: Fine

Lot #2144 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 6,700.00 - $ 8,700.00)
Fr. 161 $50 1880
This is a popular type that is rarely offered in an affordable circulated grade. As a matter of fact, just three average circulated notes have been offered at auction in the last 10 years. Although this example has some minor faults commensurate with the grade, it remains a decent and well-centered example worthy of a good bid.
Grade: Fine

Lot #2145 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 6,700.00 - $ 8,700.00)
Fr. 162 $50 1880
This is the highest serial number recorded for this rare Friedberg number. Just 23 notes are known in total, and two of those are in government hands. In the past, these sold for about the same price as the way more available Fr. 164. In today's more sophisticated market, with collectors actively seeking the rarer types, we expect a note like this to finally move ahead of the pack. The paper has plenty of body remaining, so I would say this would make VF 20 if sent to a service. Generally a solid note, save for a repaired tear in the left margin.
Grade: VF

Lot #2146 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 162 $50 1880
A confident looking note for the grade, with large, untrimmed margins and unfaded color. There are a few repaired margin splits, but that hardly matters on a note of this grade. That is especially true considering the rarity of the piece. Only 23 are known and just one note has been auctioned in the last three years.
Grade: Fine +

Lot #2147 - Large Size Type Notes > Compound Interest Notes - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 15,000.00)
Fr. 191a $20 October 15, 1864
Some light restoration has been expertly accomplished on this scarce note. Only 54 notes are now known with this new addition and few exist in grades better than VF. Considering this note's overall pleasing look, I would think it would rank in the top 25% of the known grades. In April of last year a very similar piece sold for $12,650.
Grade: VF

Lot #2148 - Large Size Type Notes > Refunding Certificates - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 3,500.00)
Fr. 214 $10 1879
An interesting and forever popular type. These were issued to introduce the average citizen to government securities and put them more within reach. They were meant to pay 4% per year forever, but Congress stopped the clock on July 1, 1907. This piece has a long margin split at the top center.
Grade: VF

Lot #2149 - Large Size Type Notes > Refunding Certificates - ($ 650.00 - $ 850.00)
Fr. 214 $10 1879
Except for the numerous margin tears across the top and the scotch tape stain down the middle that holds the two halves together, the note would have been a decent VF. The way it is, it's an opportunity for a collector on a small budget to obtain a type he would normally not even consider.
Grade: VG, Net

Fr. 215 $1 1886
This lovely Martha exhibits a number of attributes that one looks for on an uncirculated note. The seal shows some relief on the embossing as well as certain digits from the serial numbers. Even the words "United States" show their relief on the back. However, there may be a near imperceptible centerfold.
Grade: Ch. CU

Great color and freshness except the top margin is thin and the bottom margin is nonexistent. Also, there are four splits at the folds. If you want a high-grade Martha but have a budget that won't stretch, this note could be your answer.

Fr. 221 $1 1886
The kind of full-margined XF that we all want to own. An infinitesimal split is confined to the margin and the red seal shows through just a touch on the back. The paper is all original and while close inspection will reveal two minute brown spots, they are pretty much lost in the design. Far more desirable than it sounds. This small red seal and ornate back combination is generally accepted as the most difficult Martha to obtain.

A really pretty large type note that probably sold as Gem more than once. However, with the new standards, this note falls back some. A small tip bend is the likely culprit.

Great embossing on the seal and serial numbers is readily apparent. No doubt the slightly high back has prevented a far better grade.

This is an attractive and well-centered example of a popular and well-known design. It was sold five times over five years earlier this decade, graded anywhere between AU and Gem CU, depending on whether the cataloger spotted the very faint centerfold. There is also some light repair in the back top corners. Clearly a note that looks better than AU.

As fresh and original as it is possible for a $1 Black Eagle to be. With these margins I don't see how this isn't at least a Gem 65. This is a better Friedberg number and the scarcer "K" block. This note has been off the scene since a 1994 Coin Galleries sale.

Since the inception of third-party grading the highest quality examples of the most popular type notes have been very difficult to find, and even more difficult to pry loose from their owners. This is truly a spectacular brown seal Silver Dollar Back with brilliant white paper and amazing margins. A wonderful addition to any collection.

Fr. 265 $5 1886
A well-used example of this popular Silver Dollar Back design. The lower grade examples usually have a problem with the back vignette such as heavy folds or stains. Not so on this piece, although the front does have a couple of scuff marks and there are some small edge splits. This is also the last issue of the type and is the rarest with fewer than three dozen known.

The Bruce-Gilfillan (Fr. 310) variety of the 1880 $20 Silver Certificate is the rarest of the large brown seal two-signature notes and just a few less of the Fr. 312 are known. This note is definitely condition census for the Fr. 310 as the highest grade slabbed and sold is a "50". The PMG and PCGS most current POP Report shows the following: only a "55" is better. This note has a lovely overall appearance and it may well be as nice as you are likely to get, as only one of the 41 notes reported threatens to be uncirculated. For some reason this entire Black-Back $20 series doesn't come UNC and I have been preaching it for years.

This note appears in an earlier census as VF, during times when grading was much stricter. One of the down falls of third party grading is the assignment of net grades. Despite well-balanced, generous margins, rosy-red seal, and a full VF appearance, the grading service has elected to downgrade this note to Fine 12 NET with the comment of major restoration for some well executed scattered repairs that are evident to skilled eyes. While no one can deny either the presence of the restorations, nor their benefit to the long term preservation of this historically important note, such comments do seem harsh. We sold the finest known as part of the Rickey Collection in 2005 for $92,000. This note, while not the equal to that, does offer an opportunity to add the rare Monroe design to your collection for a more modest sum.

This magnificent Red Seal is among the finest ever graded by PMG. Only four other notes have attained this grade and none are better, according to the PMG current POP report.

Fr. 1180 $20 1905
One of the most sought after types within the Gold Certificates. Hard to find in decent shape since the gold ink used for the back was unstable and often oxidized to a dull brown, or just flaked off completely in places. Luckily, this note has retained the majority of its golden hue, disrupted only a bit by the remnants of a blue number stamped on the back. The face is well-centered and if the red overprint was stronger, the note would appear AU.

Not only is this the lowest serial numbered star for the $20 1922 series, it is the lowest star number recorded by Track & Price for any large Gold Certificate. And you can toss in the small size Golds, as well. A true miracle of survival. It's clear this note was in its final months of service before someone plucked it out of circulation. Whether it was by pure chance or because they noticed the low serial number we will never know. If you collect low numbers, this note will put you in front for an entire genre of paper money, with second place not even close. Quite solid for the grade, with only a small notch out of the right margin.

These early Gold Certificates are not just rare, but they look rare due to the intriguing brown serial numbers. The Fr. 1188 has just eight notes in the census. That is four notes less than the Fr. 1189a, a triple-signature gold note. This example first appeared in our 2008 Memphis sale, having just been found in a safe-deposit box. Only four other examples have had public appearances over the last 20 years, and two of those are now in permanent collections. Some edge splits and such have been fixed with consummate skill, earning this rarity an Apparent VF 20 grade. If you are looking for a rare note that will likely stay that way, this is it.

Notes from the state capital of Arizona are reasonably plentiful and this bank has 73 small notes reported, but they are certainly popular. High-grade circ notes like this typically sell between $1,000 and $2,000. The centering and overall appearance lend you to assume an even higher grade.

Golden, Rubey NB, 6497
One of the grand highlights of this Colorado consignment. Just as awesome a note as when your cataloger handled this piece so many, many years ago. It came out of L&L Coins in Denver and took quite a bit of arm twisting to get it bought. I'm sure there was a lot of seller's remorse (and buyer's elation) after the deal was done. Sporting lovely two-color pen signatures and the barest of handling. Three large notes are known on the bank, but only two on this second title. We sold the other note with this title in 2005 for almost $30,000. Destined to enter a premium collection of Nationals, after what I'm sure will be a most heated battle.

Golden, Rubey NB, 6497
This small community nestled in the foothills above Denver is one of Colorado's most desirable locations. Just six small notes are known and the Mayer example we sold last year was the first small size note offered since June 2000, when that very note was last on the market. Strictly graded and without problems.

Gunnison, First NB, 2686
A real treat in this grade as most of the 11 known large size notes do not come close. Offerings of large size are noticeably absent from the parade of small size opportunities. If not for the two special notes in the Mayer Collection (a First Charter $10 and a $20 Red Seal) collectors would have to go back to 2003 to find an auction sale of a Plainback.

Another one of the outstanding Colorado notes in this sale. The note exudes quality at every turn. Totally original surfaces, distinct embossing and some of the finest pen signatures that you will find on a National can be found on this example. Possibly the highest grade note on the bank, and one of 11 known.

Rifle, First NB, W6178
A trophy note for the state if there ever was one, and one of the great town names. After all, what could be more evocative of the Wild West than this? Bold purple-stamped signatures and a light vertical fold on what was essentially an uncirculated note. Frederick Mayer had a VG example (the second finest of the three known) which sold for $6,000 after spirited bidding among several bidders. The final result for this peach will be difficult to predict. The last two bidders standing will know that if they do not prevail, there will be no second chance to obtain anything close to this note in quality.

Silverton, First NB, 2930
This remote San Juan County community supported two national banks, but hard times hit around 1915, forcing the closure of the Silverton National Bank. By 1920 the population of the town had dropped by half and there was little demand for notes. To this day, not one large size note on this bank has been reported, leaving the seven known small size to supply collectors' needs. This example is not quite as nice as the Mayer specimen, which was the finest known, but it is close.

Steamboat Springs, First NB, 6454
Collectors have been waiting for this note to return to the market since it was discovered in a cash hoard deposited in a Joplin, Missouri bank in the late 1980s. Our consignor obtained this note because his phone call to the dealer that obtained it beat his competitor at the time by about two minutes. The note is an evenly used example with a few insignificant faults. It was fortunate to have survived, since the notes that were not pulled by the tellers and bank employees were sent on to the Federal Reserve for destruction. The bank issued just 356 sheets of small size and closed in 1931, which helps to explain why this note is so impossibly rare.

Telluride, First NB, W4417
The First National Bank of Telluride was chartered in 1890 and was the only National Bank in town, as well as in San Miguel County. Despite that monopoly, the bank faltered and was liquidated in 1924. This is the sole $20 Brownback in the census, and is a quite pleasing one at that.

Very bright, with readable stamped signatures. Eleven notes are reported. The name Telluride comes from tellurium, an element that is sometimes found in gold and silver deposits. This avidly collected mining town has some phenomenal records for high-grade examples in the recent past, so expect this only slightly lower grade piece to do better than other notes of the same rarity and grade.

There is no better place to sell this rare sheet of Nationals than in its own hometown! This is the only sheet known on the bank, and it consists of an uncut strip of four notes. This Cook County bank is from a well-collected portion of the country, with a very low survival rate, making this a candidate to cut to satisfy four individual collectors. Folded between the notes, with a vertical fold, plus some handling. With Cassopolis sheets bringing more than our high estimate here, this lot seems solid.

This ultra-rare $50 Red Seal was the highlight from Abilene in the Dale Lyon Collection which we offered by fixed price list in 1995/1996. The seal is light but there are only three $50 Red Seals known on the state, and only 226 notes were printed from this bank. The president's signature is legible while the cashier's is even fainter.

This is one of my favorite Minnesota town names. You couldn't hope for a sharper example, a very lucky occurrence considering how rare this bank is in large size. The Farmers National Bank is more common, but even still, no large size from the Farmers Bank is the equal of this peach. We can find no record of any large note ever being offered publicly from this institution, so this initial auction debut will set the mark for years to come. There are two minute pinholes that become visible when the note is held to the light, but if you love Nationals, they won't concern you in the least.

The margins are a little irregular, but the most recent note available in January 2008 was much worse. That note, with margins well into the design, brought nearly $10,000.

Sheyenne, First NB, W8886
This town is spelled with an "S" instead of a "C" due to a misspelling by the early explorers when they named the nearby Sheyenne River after the Cheyenne Indians. Fortunately, that gives us this oddly named North Dakota note. This was the sole National Bank to serve this town and we can trace just 10 notes for this large-only bank. It has been over seven years since the last note appeared at auction. Super pen signatures add to the appeal.

Dresden, First NB, M5144
An extremely rare town for Nationals. There were two banks in Dresden, and until now both were represented by just a single note. This bank was chartered first and issued only Brownbacks during its short nine year life. The other note that is known is also a $5, but is in lower grade. Track & Price has just one record of it selling. That was at a Smythe sale in 2001 where it brought $3,740. This attractive example, with delicate pen signatures and in significantly better grade, should do as well or better.

There are six notes in the census and five of them passed through various auctions from 1983 through 2000, at which time the conveyor stopped and we've seen nothing since.

A favorite among the name collectors, specimens are tightly held and don't often present themselves for sale. While this note has quite a bit of circulation dirt, it is surprisingly free of damage (except for some minor margin splits around the edges). Excellent pen signatures of Jas. E. Bell, Cashier and C.K. Jacoby, President are quite plain. Seven large and seven small size notes are currently in the census. (If that isn't a sign, I don't know what is). Probably means it will be an astute purchase for the winning bidder.

Without question the finest by several grades of at least five of the other six notes in the census. There is a $20 1902 Dateback without a grade so we must wait for that to show, if it ever does. This example is strictly graded and is so impressive I think few would argue with AU. The note exudes embossing and originality, with pen signatures that are a perfect finish.

What a treat it would be to add this vivid Red Seal to your collection. The precise pen signatures of the female Assistant Cashier, Naomi Wheatley, and the President, Conrad Strecker, are perfect. The note is well-centered and appears to be aptly graded. There is a trivial ink spot at the right. This short-lived bank closed in 1909 after issuing a ridiculously low number of state designated notes, a mere 350 sheets of Red Seals and Datebacks. State examples remain unknown, leaving only the Territorial Red Seals to supply collector needs. If it were not for the fact that someone saved most of the notes from the first three sheets of Territorials, the note we offer here would have been one of two notes known on the bank. Notes from those first three sheets have been absent from the market for over 10 years.

Highland Park, State Road NB, 13196
An extremely scarce Delaware County bank that was chartered in 1928 but whose circulation was limited to a small issue of Type 2 notes only. This enigmatic institution has been the source of considerable geographical confusion: it was located on State Road in the Highland Park section of Upper Darby, Delaware County, just outside of Philadelphia. The Kelly reference places the location in Cumberland County, and his maps place it in Dauphin County. While there is a suburb of Harrisburg known as Highland Park, it never had a National Bank and State Road does not run through it. In any event, this remains one of the best Delaware County locations from which to find a note. Only nine notes are reported, but the example we offer here is the only note to have been offered at a public sale in the last 10 years. A great title and a great town name. Some repairs have been made at the top and bottom margins in the center.

A great title only adds to the allure of this fetching $5 Brownback. The totally original surfaces are untouched and have received only a few light folds.

The bank's scarcity is attributed to the fact that it issued only First Charters and Brownbacks before it fell into receivership in 1907.

Lufkin, Angelina County NB, S6009
This is a great title on a downright rare bank. Just 800 sheets of Brownbacks and an even smaller 241 sheets of 1882 Datebacks were issued before this tiny bank liquidated in 1912. The three notes that remain are all in the same grade, and all $20 Brownbacks. I suspect the other two notes are in strong hands by now (one hasn't been seen since 1997) so this could be a final opportunity to add a premium Texas Brownback to your collection.

A very rare and unreported type for this bank! While quite a few large notes are known from this issuer, this is just the second Dateback to turn up and the first $10 denomination. We have always felt that the 1902 Datebacks were seriously underrated, and this note is a perfect example of that, given that all of the many large notes on this bank are Plainback types. One of the many collectors of Utah notes will be able to make a nice addition to his collection.

However, when the bank closed, barely 10% of the total issue remained outstanding. Whatever was the cause of such a speedy redemption must have continued, since we are left with only this note to mark the bank's existence.

Spokane, First NB of Hillyard, 9182
This is a very rare bank that was chartered in 1908. At that time it was located in the town of Hillyard, a name that can be found on the large size notes. By the time the bank issued small size Hillyard had been absorbed by the growing city of Spokane, just to the south. The bank closed in 1931 after issuing a mere 305 sheets of Type 1 $10s and a miserly 84 sheets of $20s! There are currently four small notes recorded, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Only one small note has ever been offered before now, to the best of our knowledge. That occurred in our March 2007 sale when an AU sold for $13,800 in a heated battle. This second opportunity may not reach that level, but the demand for rare Washington notes is still there. A new piece to the census and perfect for the grade.

Collectors who desire a state issued First Charter on Wyoming are pretty much limited to this bank. Fortunately a fair number of notes survived, though not so many that some excitement isn't created when an example comes to auction. This striking note has enough grade to satisfy most and bold pen signatures acceptable to everyone. This is also one of the earlier issued notes and specialists will notice different bank officer signatures than what has been seen on recently appearing notes. A classic Western rarity that will dress up any collection. To be accurate, we have to mention the dozen or so pinholes in the center, but they border on the microscopic size-wise, and aren't visible without a light behind the note.

This well-circulated note has some issues that you would expect for the grade, but it is the only 1882 $10 Dateback recorded on the bank. The strong pen signatures seem unaffected by the use.

Powell, First NB, W10265
A wonderfully fresh and unblemished example from this Northern Wyoming town. Precise pen signatures of Harry Barrows, Assistant Cashier and S.A. Nelson, President, grace this note. This is the finest large size note known on the town and has long been in a tightly held Western collection.

There are just 14 $20 1882 Datebacks known from all Wyoming banks combined. This one is rather nice for the grade, with visible signatures and not excessively soiled. There are 22 large notes recorded with frequent offerings only in the last few years.

Rock Springs, First NB, 3920
Here is a lovely Rock Springs note exhibiting purple stamped signatures. It is from the much scarcer large-only bank that liquidated in 1927. Just 14 notes in total are known and this example is nicer than virtually every other piece offered on the bank in the last 20 years.

Thermopolis, First NB, 12638
An extremely popular name and a note that enjoys a large following, whether they are interested in the state or not. A total of 31 serial numbers have been recorded, and of those, only one piece is shown to be a higher grade. There are several without a grade listed, but as far as actual sales go, this would be the single finest Thermopolis note to be offered in 25 years. It is totally original, shows almost 100% of the embossing and is well centered. A phenomenal note.
