Lot #2103 - United States Paper Money > Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 20,000.00 - $ 40,000.00)
Fr. 4 $5 1861
Demand Notes are a tough series and there are only five examples of the Cincinnati $5 known to exist. It has been quite a few years since another has been offered and three of the five known are about the same grade as this example. With only one example better than VG/Fine it's highly unlikely to acquire a much higher grade. PCGS notes professional restoration.

Collectors constantly clamor for Fr. 40, the one year design type with the red overprint, which must overshadow the blue seal variety by a factor of 10:1. Look at the note and see if you don't agree that this could, and perhaps should, be in a '65' holder.

This note has a strange ink mark on the man's trousers in the central vignette. I have never seen such a problem before. It appears the ink was just too heavy and laid on the paper where there had been a blob in the paper fiber. All pretty odd on a $5 Rainbow.

Fr. 123 $10 1923
This historic ten dollar bill is so well-inked that it should really be seen in person. The embossing is terrific and it looks as if it has been etched by a razor. The margins are large and the paper has a great "wave" to it. This is a collectible from what most consider a grander time that will make its new owner proud into the new century." An eloquent description for an exceptional example of this last design of the $10 Legal Tender bearing the portrait of Andrew Jackson. 696,000 of these were printed. Recently named the "Poker Chip," the intricacy and depth of design gives a three-dimensional feel to a two-dimensional object. An amazing feat for a printed object. Certain to create a stir in a market where collectors want the best, and can afford it.

This is one of the rarest of the Lincoln $100 Legal Tender notes. There are a total of seven notes in existence today with three remaining in government institutions, doubtful to ever be sold. Only the Fr. 173 is as elusive. The printing was only 24,000 notes, which substantiates its rarity. This is the second finest known. The note pedigrees back to Bob Denerson, an early 1970s era Los Angeles collector who regularly competed with Jim Thompson to build the best collection by Friedberg.

The Silver Dollar Back notes of 1886 feature five Silver Dollars across the back of the note and the head of U.S. Grant, our 18th president, on the face. The use of the Silver Dollar design made these popular from the start and they are high priced and very collectible today. 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.

In 1897, when the $5 Educational notes were released, the firm of Cabot, Cabot & Forbes was one of the old-line banking companies and pillars of the Boston blueblood society. Mrs. Cabot and Mrs. Forbes were very conservative and when they inspected their first $5 Educational note they ordered their husbands to not allow the notes in their banking and business house. This was due to the naked breast on the figure on the face of the note. Hence the term "Banned in Boston". This objection led the Government to cancel plans for the $10 Educational note and so abandoning the series. Since then the term "Banned in Boston" has been attached to other items. The central vignette of the $5 Educational note shows Electricity Presenting Light to the World. Shirlaw did the original design for the $5 Educational note and Thomas F. Morris later modified it. Mr. Morris also designed the back using portraits of Grant and Sheridan at the sides and a female head, that greatly resembled his wife, at the center. Absolutely amazing are the colors and uniformity of margins on this fantastic $5 Educational. The ink looks like it will literally jump off the paper. An utterly magnificent piece of paper money from the most desirable series.

This beautiful Chief would be desirable even with a regular serial number, but with the two-digit K66, it enters a very special class indeed. Sometimes the low numbers have picked up excessive handling or have poor margins, but those are problems you need not worry about on this note. It is a top quality piece worthy of a premier type collection. The detailed census information available to the hobby today highlights what the long term collectors have known: that fancy serial numbers on the large type notes are truly rare, and only a few collectors can aspire to own a note like this Chief.

This amazing Chief is fully embossed, well centered and nearly perfect in every way. That it also carries the solid serial number of six sixes is just icing on the cake. PCGS has graded only one Chief higher than "67" and to date they have seen just one other Fr. 277 this nice. I doubt it had such a special serial number. PMG has assigned nothing higher than 66 EPQ to any example from this Friedberg number. It is unusual to obtain large size fancy numbers in this lofty grade as most examples have picked up handling over the years.

This is one of four examples found together, before my time, that had been found pinned to a drifter's coat. Each of them had evidence of being burned, I believe, or the edge has since been restored. It has been nearly five years since an example has sold. PMG notes some restoration.

The Technicolor Twenty has long been one of America's most beautiful and desirable notes. It was introduced by Teddy Roosevelt who kept the #1 note and paired this design with the High Relief and Ultra High Relief Gold coins. This has always been a standard bearer of large size type. I remember an early Memphis show when Art Leister paid Amon Carter double Friedberg catalog price for one way before the market had gotten exciting.

Lot #2252 - United States Paper Money > Large Size Type Notes > Gold Certificates - ($ 6,500.00 - $ 12,500.00)
Fr. 1180 $20 1905
A Technicolor in the most chased of all grades. This specimen retains the complete rich golden underprint, not to mention deep red serial numbers and seal. The margins are perfectly balanced. The colors, especially on the face, suggest a much higher grade and a much higher cost. The back inks have mellowed, subdued, and oxidized slightly. PMG comments, 'restoration, consistent with a closed edge split or two skillfully repaired'. Overall, a wildly impressive example of this one year type note.

The 1922 $20 Gold Certificate represents the end of an era for large size $20 Gold Certificates as it was the last signature combination used before small size currency was introduced in 1928. A large printing of 87,120,000 were issued, but only 1,200 have survived, according to the Gengerke census, with approximately 260 listed as UNC. PMG has graded six in "67", three in "68" and twenty-two in "66", which is what we have to offer here. From the Siesta Collection.

This is the end of the era for large size Gold Certificates. They did not change the design, like the $50, but just kept with a winner. There were 2,444,000 notes printed. Gengerke's census shows 440 notes recorded, with 40 listed as UNC. This is a great looking VF 30 and generally easy on the pocketbook.

This was the last issue for $1,000 Gold Certificates in the large size note era, and just 80,000 notes were printed. According to the Gengerke census there are 30 serial numbers recorded, and of those, seven are permanently impounded in museums. The best listed are a CU and four AU notes. The best PMG grade before this was a "45". Only about 30 examples of this number are known, and only two are reported to be uncirculated; one in a government collection and one that has not been seen since 1984. Currently PMG has only graded 10 examples of this series with most being Fine and VF, with only two being better and neither are UNC. Personally I feel this beautiful example of a rare high denomination is better than listed but I have yet to view it out of the holder. This beauty is from the Siesta Collection.

Marked Tree, First NB, S11122
This uniquely named town lies only a few miles from Memphis, Tennessee, between the Saint Francis River and the Little River. The early settlers chose the name because of a large oak tree marked by the Indians that was near their settlement on the bank of the Saint Francis River. It was at this point that a land bridge only 1/4 mile wide separated the two rivers, providing a short portage for their canoes. Although eight notes are reported on this large-only bank, specimens are tightly held, with just four auction appearances in the last 18 years. That is not a surprise, as this is one of the greatest names in Nationals. This note is a solid, evenly used example, with no problems save for a small clipped corner. Strong pen signatures as well.

A one-bank town that is far rarer in large size than in small. Only three large notes are reported with the appearance of this example. Your only other opportunity to obtain a large note on this bank was in 2001 when a lower grade piece crossed the auction block. A rarity that the under bidder will surely regret missing.

This bank is known for its $5 Black Charter Territorials and some rather high value Second Charter notes, leaving just four 1902 Plainbacks to fill the demand for an affordable large size note from this well-known mountain community. This beauty is the finest of those 1902 Series notes and sports wonderful pen signatures of W. O. Jenkins, Cashier, and Wilfred Fullerton, Vice President. This note has the kind of quality that will stand the test of time.

An amazing Lazy Deuce from the capital of Colorado Territory. It's signed by the Kountze brothers, Luther and C.B. There are few Deuces known from the Colorado Territory and most are either on Denver or Pueblo. This note has had slight restoration on the two right corners, but unless you knew it, it would be a trick to find. Otherwise, the note does not show much circulation except corner folds that are virtually undetectable. This note is dated August 15, 1866, and is an important part of Colorado history.

Only two of the four large notes known on this one-bank town have ever been offered publicly for sale. The most recent was at the 2008 Memphis sale where we sold Mr. Mayer s Fine example for $3,220. Before that, one must go all the way back to 1997 for the previous opportunity. This note has some edge splits and soil, but good signatures, and there is no doubt it is rare. Now a suburb of Colorado Springs, Fountain was named for Fountain Creek which ran through the town. The town was virtually destroyed in 1888 when a railroad car of blasting powder exploded.

Fowler, First NB, 7637
This extremely rare one-bank town had an amazingly low $130 in large size outstanding in 1935. Colorado collectors have been waiting a long time for this opportunity, since neither of the two known large notes have been offered for public sale in at least the last 30 years or so. We suspect the other large note is in strong hands, as was this example. As a matter of fact, the only note that Track and Price could find offered on this institution was a single small note from the Mayer Collection. A medium size tear in the bottom margin should not dissuade you from pursuing this great Colorado rarity. Super pen signatures only add to the desirability.

Even if this wasn t a scarce bank, the grade and gorgeous signatures alone would ensure active bidding. Just six large and nine small notes are reported. This small community in Lincoln County supported just this one National Bank, and issued only $5 1902 Plainbacks before moving on to issue small size $10 s and $20 s. Only $865 in large size remained outstanding as of 1935, suggesting that we may not see many new large size examples. This completely original note has three faint folds and is several grades better than any of its companions in the census.

This is one of the more rare Colorado banks with a paltry six large notes reported and a single small note. Most appear in the census around the VF grade, but I can t imagine that many could surpass this note's bright paper and vivid colors. The purple stamped signatures are characteristically weak, but visible. The note has a few pin holes in the portrait and a tight bottom margin, however, it is nicer than the Mayer specimen that sold for over $2,000 in 2008. These are infrequently available, with an average wait of four years between offerings.

Wellington, First NB, 7793
This prohibitively rare bank was totally missing from the massive Mayer Collection. It s no wonder since the bank closed in 1933 having issued less than 7,000 sheets of large size and exactly 700 sheets of small notes. Wellington is located just off Interstate 25 on the way to Wyoming. It was a tiny farming community of 533 souls when this note was issued and was your last chance for gas until you hit Cheyenne. This bank was organized in 1905, the same year that the town was incorporated. The town's remoteness and low population goes a long way to explain the poor survival rate of notes from this bank. Very incomplete data points to the existence of two large notes, and the Kelly census list serial numbers on four small size examples, in which this note ties one other as the finest. Track and Price can find no public sales of a note from this location over the last four decades. Truly a great Colorado rarity worthy of a serious bid.

This uncut sheet of $5 Fr. 537 1882 Datebacks is totally new to the census from a family bank that only had a couple of notes known. This sheet came with the $10-$10-$10-$20 that follows. The sheet has the same signatures as the other, John W. Brooks and the cashier, and both sheets are complete with top and bottom selvedge. Uncut sheets of this variety are absolutely as rare as any US currency and only a person that is aware of the rarity and limited availability will likely have the presence of mind to acquire them. They are a must for a sheet collector. These have had a fold or two, but the quality is amazing.

A beautiful new addition to the Florida census is this late-chartered large size note from the sponge capital of the US. This note is basically UNC with the faintest bends possible. The last appearance, a much lower grade, brought in excess of the low estimate. This note is worth a significant premium. It has color, centering, paper quality and lovely stamped signatures.

Griffin, First NB, 2075
An elusive Georgia note by any standards. The bank liquidated in January 1931, and issued 1,907 sheets of Type One $10 s. Barely three years earlier the bank had switched from the City NB to assume the First NB title. Large notes are scarce on the first title and down right rare on the second. Lastly, a scant four small notes are recorded, with none of the other three any better than Fine. This piece is the only one of those four to be sold at auction as far as we can tell. That occurred back in 2001, when our astute consignor picked this little cherry off the tree. He picked well, as even the important Rome Collection failed to contain any note at all on this charter.

Chicago, Corn Exchange NB, M5106
Being involved in the U.S. currency business for over 40 years, it's pretty hard to get a meaningful item that I have never handled before. This is one of those items. It is my profound privilege to offer the UNIQUE and only known two note uncut sheet of U.S. currency. Back in the day when National Bank Notes were being issued, the government decided to print sheets of $50 and $100 on two note sheets, allowing more flexibility to the smaller banking institutions, and from those issues this is the only surviving uncut sheet. The Corn Exchange National Bank of Chicago was chartered in 1897, and before it liquidated in 1924 they printed 7001 two-note sheets of single $50 and $100 Brownbacks. In addition, they printed $5, $10 and $20 Brownbacks and 1882 Datebacks in $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, including both two and four note sheets of 1882 Datebacks. At this time, only one person can have the opportunity to own this incredible item. It s graded Uncirculated 60 NET by PMG, mentioning the strengthening of the fold between the notes.

Here is another great two-state named bank which is deceptively rare in small size. One might think it would be common, confused by the large size hoard on the First NB. Even this bank has 19 large size survivors bearing this second title. However, a paltry two small size examples are all that remain from a rather hefty issue. The bank went into receivership in 1930, which is probably why small examples are so rare. The only small note to appear publicly was in CAA s third auction in 1992. Very pretty and a key piece in a two-state set.

This is a popular Indian town name, so the eleven known small notes simply don t stretch far enough. The last auction appearance for any note on this bank was nearly three years ago. The only small size type issued were these $10s. The bank closed in early 1932 and issued just 733 sheets of small notes, a combination that promotes a low survival rate. Above average in grade and problem-free.

Cherryvale, Montgomery Co. NB, 4749
This tiny hamlet is half the size today that it was in the 1920s. Then Cherryvale was a major railroad hub and a center for zinc mining. Four National Banks opened here, the first in 1884, but three of them didn t last very long. Only the Montgomery County NB survived, doing business for 39 years until hard times forced it into receivership in 1931. Less than a dozen small notes remain, and this example appears to be one of the best. Bright and well-centered.

Colony, First NB, W11531
This tiny one-bank community in Anderson County was home to less than 1,000 people when the First National Bank was organized in 1919. The total bank issue was under $200,000 for the 12 years this institution was in business, so it is no wonder few notes have survived. This attractive specimen has strong pen signatures and three vertical folds. It must have been carried for a while as half the back shows some wallet dirt. Despite this minor distraction, the census indicates that this note is one of the finest known on the bank. Signed by J. V. Lintner, Cashier, and W. L. Jones, President.

This bank was chartered in 1886 using the name Jewell City, but the City part of the name was deleted from the small size plates after the town did the same. We were fortunate to auction a number one sheet on this bank a few years ago, but have not been able to offer a single small size example since 2006.

Kanorado, First NB, 11860
As the combination name suggests, this tiny outpost lies barely a mile from the Colorado border. The First National Bank was chartered in 1920, but due to the miniscule population of the town, no large notes were issued. The bank finally did issue small notes, only to be liquidated in 1934. Today, specimens remain very elusive and are fought over when offered. This solid, evenly circulated note was last available in my September 1994 auction. One of seven notes on the bank.

Prairie View, First NB, 9373
Kansas is replete with suggestive town names, and no doubt prairie was all the early settlers saw when they came to this remote part of Kansas. The town s population in 1920 was less than 200, prompting the only bank in town to issue just 2,108 sheets of large notes. This translated to a large size outstanding in 1935 of a mere $870. Of the five recorded serial numbers, it appears that only a single note has ever made it to the public scene in the last 15 years. Small notes are almost as difficult. This example has been in strong hands for decades, so I expect it will be well received.

It is a thrill to offer a note from this very rare first name town, our first since 2003. Only two cities in the country named Russell had banks that issued Nationals. The other was a Brownback-only bank in Kansas that is still unreported. This institution is only a little more available than that with four large notes and three small notes reported. Kelly shows that 512 sheets of small size were printed, but notes that 131 of those sheets were not issued. This example still exhibits lots of body and would make a fine addition to a first name collection.

One of the best names from the state and intensely sought after. The note exhibits a few inconsequential faults such as a tiny pin hole or two and a short split confined to the upper margin, but remains a highly desirable acquisition. There are just over two dozen small notes reported, but that is still insufficient to supply the many collectors wishing to own a note from here.

When a state has a thousand lakes, it isn t hard to locate your town next to one. A small hamlet today of 768 people, this community had virtually the same population in 1930.

That was in a Spink America sale in June, 1998. This piece has a few small pin holes and a trace of a teller mark. Just 355 small size sheets were printed.

Two Harbors, First NB, 12357
This aptly named town on the shore of Lake Superior is set between Burlington Bay and Agate Bay. It is the seat of Lake County and hosted two National Banks. The First NB with the low charter was organized in 1902 and closed about three years later. It remains unreported. Fortunately for the name collectors, a second attempt in 1923 was a success, with the bank issuing 1902 Plainbacks and small size $5, $10 and $20 notes in both types. We are pleased to offer a fully bright and crisp example that is free of defects.

Baker, Baker NB, 11074
Baker is the seat of Fallon County in far Eastern Montana. It was the only town in the county to host a National Bank, and it had two. Actually, the Baker National Bank was originally chartered in 1917 as the First NB of Plevna, a miniscule town of 241 souls just 13 miles west of Baker. However, there was no issue until the 1929 Series notes. By that time, the title had already changed to the First NB of Baker. Notes on this bank are incredibly difficult to locate, with the most recent auction record in 2000. The single fault is a tiny tear at one corner. One of seven known with none finer.

It is incredible notes like this that give even the most jaded collector a thrill. Could it be the original freshness, the bottom selvedge, the beautiful two-color pen signatures or all the above? Whatever appeals to you will likely stir the soul of the next buyer also, ensuring a ready market whenever this note is re-offered. There is a sheet fold across the top and a fold across the bottom left corner, but it is clear the note never circulated. This was the only bank in town and it issued no small size. The outstanding at the close was just $470. Had five uncut sheets not been found to skew the statistics, this would have been a much scarcer bank. But then we wouldn t have had this peach to sell. Expect some spirited bidding for this lot.

Broken Bow, First NB, 3449
It is a treat to offer this ornate $5 Brownback on such an in-demand state. This bank issued only this type during its brief life. A mere $795 remained outstanding in 1910. The color and crispness approaches that of a Very Fine note, but the rough edges, a few tears and a clipped corner prevents a higher grade. The lovely pen signatures are unaffected.

Alexandria Bay, First NB of the Thousand Islands, 5284
One of the greatest names to ever grace a small size New York National. This avidly collected title is on the list of more than just the New York state collectors. Only three large notes and three small notes have been recorded, and this is the first time in four years that any specimen has been available at auction. It is so rare and sought after that many of the largest New York collections failed to hold a specimen. Both the Shiva and Decker Collections come to mind. This example, cherished for years by our consignor, is evenly circulated, free of pinholes, tears or blemishes of any kind, and is worthy of any collection, large or small.

A picture perfect example from one of the classic Pennsylvania banks. I can t imagine any of the eight large notes known from here could be any prettier. Only $5 s were issued and just one 1929 series note is known. Fresh, pen signed beauties like this note are normally only available when old time collections are dispersed. The town takes its name from the pictographs left on the cliffs by the indians that previously inhabited the Muncy Creek valley.

Eagle Lake, First NB, 7534
This bank, the sole issuer in Colorado County, is extraordinarily rare in large size and just plain tough in small with ten recorded examples. The bank, chartered in 1904, issued only $50 s and $100 s up until the 1929 series, when they saw the need for a few smaller denominations and issued 132 sheets of Type One $10 s. They completed their small size issue with 96 sheets of $50 s and 30 sheets of $100 s. In total, the bank printed 2,304 large notes (not sheets!) and 258 sheets of small size. That is a miniscule printing by any standard. This is the first low denomination example auctioned as best we can tell. A great Texas name.

George West, First NB, 12919
You have heard of private named banks, well, George West is a private named town. It was started in 1913 by George Washington West and Katie West on land they had ranched since 1880. He sold off his cattle to start the town. He offered $100,000 and free easement to the railroad to build to his town and offered $75,000 to build a new courthouse if the county seat was moved from Oakville. It was moved in 1918. West also built schools, roads and facilities to provide water and electricity. The town faired better than its only national bank. The First National Bank stayed in business only 8 years and has only a few notes remaining. This new discovery increases the small size count to seven.

As one might expect, cattle is the main business here. The town is even named for the Hereford breed.

This is well used and has more wear, but it's now probably the only example available to collectors. I believe the other is in the museum.

This tiny village in Rappahannock County is situated next to the Shenandoah National Park. Notes from here are exceedingly rare, with the census containing just two large and three small examples. However, like many good nationals, the opportunity to actually buy a note is even more rare than the note itself. This bank falls into that category. In records going back six decades, only one large note and one small note have appeared in a public sale. That occurred in the same FUN auction in 2003. Finally, seven years later, the underbidders get a second chance. A perfect fit for the assigned grade.

A wonderful note and one of my favorite Virginia town names. The faint creases are virtually invisible on this example. The paper is snow-white and the margins are good. For years specimens have brought far in excess of the Kelly book value, indicating the strength of the Virginia market. This note is better than any piece auctioned on this bank since 2002.

This Whitman County note would have been CU but for a single corner crease. That makes this example one of the best, as the census indicates that none of the recorded notes grade uncirculated. This bank was organized in 1914, but didn t get around to issuing notes until the small size era.

This remote town on the Olympic Peninsula was home to two national banks. One bank is still unknown, and large notes from this charter are also incredibly rare.

Newcastle, First NB, W7198
One of the greatest Wyoming notes to be offered in years. Wyoming Red Seals are rare in their own right, so to be able to offer such a rare bank in this type is a dream come true. This institution, the only national bank in the county, was in business from 1904 until it went into receivership in 1924. Even being the county seat, hardly a thousand people lived here in 1920, and only a few hundred more souls were scattered in the rest of the county. It is no wonder a mere four notes have survived. Even Peter Huntoon, who collected the state for years, failed to own a note on the bank. There has been only two auction appearances from here in the last 40 years. The most recent was in April 2009 when a newly discovered Plain Back in Very Fine was auctioned for $43,125. Unfortunately, this Red Seal has seen a bit more use, although the reds are bold and the fine pen signatures are undiminished. To be accurate, I ll mention the few margin problems and a couple of light spots, but on a rarity like this they will have no influence on the final result. I have no doubt that if the grade of this Red Seal matched the Blue Seal, we would see a new Wyoming record. Who knows, given the importance of this Red Seal, we still may.
