Famed large size Ming Dynasty note on mulberry bark paper; the earliest collectible paper money. Two vermilion seals on face and one on back.

Forty were held by the Chinese government, one was secured by a Chinese banker, and five were taken to America. There are certainly more than five in America, but they are not available with any degree of regularity. While there are a few small margin pieces missing, overall strong color and quality.

Lot #788 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
CT-160 Uncancelled 5s May 10, 1770
This is a real wonder note that will prove to be a nice addition to anyone's advanced Colonial currency collection. Newman lists this at $1,000 in Fine with no higher grade indicated. This lovely note is uncancelled making it all the more rare in this state. A wonderfully printed and well signed example that has the look of a fully note but with PCGS mentioning a restoration of center split. When rarity and condition come together like this it has a synergistic effect on a note's value as we will likely see tonight.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 30   
Lot #789 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
CT-166 10s Uncancelled October 10, 1771
A truly rare note in this state of preservation as it is quite a challenge to ever find a high grade example that is also uncancelled such as this one. PCGS notes a repaired center split but the red signatures remain bold and the eye appeal is tremendous for any note from this series. Newman lists this at $1,000 in Very Fine and that really might not be too far off from reality.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25   
Lot #790 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 200.00 - $ 300.00)
CT-179 Slash Cancelled 2s6d May 10, 1775
An incredibly well embossed, bright and crackling fresh example. The May 1775 issue is much scarcer than the plethora of 1776 and 1780 notes that are floating around in the marketplace. Newman prices this at around $250 in Very Fine with no higher value.
Lot #791 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 250.00 - $ 450.00)
CT-182 40s Contemporary Counterfeit May 10, 1775

An incredibly well signed, boldly printed and wonderfully embossed example that is typical of many notes that were found in the voluminous Midnight Ride collection. The note is uncancelled making it all the more rare in this state of preservation and the handling is minimal. Newman lists this at $400 in Very Fine with nothing listed higher.

Lot #793 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 350.00 - $ 550.00)
CT-184 Uncancelled 6s June 1, 1775
In terms of eye appeal this uncancelled piece is as nice as any Gem we have seen. Boldly signed with three intact red signatures and with mountainous embossing visible everywhere. The depth of printing ink on this note makes it a wondrous piece of eye candy to show your friends. Newman lists this at $350 in EF with no value given for Unc.

Lot #796 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 1,050.00 - $ 1,550.00)
CT-205 Uncancelled 6d June 19, 1776
Snow white paper offers great contrast to the bold, black inks of this delightful note. Incredible embossing is duly noted by this cataloger. The upper left margin strays just a hair too close otherwise we are quite certain that the Superb Gem grade would have been assigned. Newman lists this at $800 in Ch. CU with no higher value given.

Lot #797 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 250.00 - $ 350.00)
CT-217 Uncancelled 5d October 11, 1777
Uncancelled examples from this small change issue are actually quite scarcer than their 1776 predecessors. Couple that with the note being printed on white paper and you really have quite an item. The price guides list uncancelled, white paper notes at double the value of those printed on the typical blue paper. Newman values this denomination at $300 in XF with no higher grade given.
Grade: PCGS AU 53

Lot #799 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 150.00 - $ 250.00)
CT-231 Slash Cancelled 20s June 1, 1780
Through the holder this note looks like a screaming Gem and we're not entirely sure it isn't. The paper is brighter than sunshine with superb printing and great signatures. We see a miniscule bump or two on the corners but nothing that really amounts to much. Notes from these 1780 issues without the typically seen hole cancel are much scarcer and more valuable. Do not expect to see a typical AU price for this premium, original example.

Lot #800 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 225.00 - $ 325.00)
CT-239 Slash Cancelled 20s July 1, 1780
An impressive example from this final issue that is slash cancelled rather than having the ubiquitous hole cancel. The margins, centering and eye appeal are that of a Gem and with plenty of embossing visible we are not sure what limited the grade. Newman lists this at $200 in Choice CU with no higher grade given.

Lot #801 - Colonial Currency > Delaware - ($ 225.00 - $ 325.00)
DE-44 20s May 1, 1756
A rare early Ben Franklin note that remains well signed with PMG noting that two pieces are contemporarily pinned together. All Benjamin Franklin printed notes are highly desirable since they were printed by one of our most famous Colonial figures. Newman lists this at $750 in Very Good with no other values given.
Grade: PMG Net Good 4   
Lot #802 - Colonial Currency > Delaware - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
DE-59 15s March 1, 1758
A very satisfying example of this popular Ben Franklin issue where you can clearly see "Printed by B. Franklin and D. Hall" on the back. PCGS has noted restorations which are primarily seen at the center fold. For some reason most examples of this issue that appear are of the 20s variety so this could be a golden opportunity to fill a hole in your type collection of Colonial notes. Newman lists this at $1,000 in Fine.

Lot #803 - Colonial Currency > Delaware - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 1,750.00)
DE-74 18d January 1, 1776
We are not sure what the heck in this world it takes to warrant a superb gem grade on a Colonial note but this example certainly seems to have earned it. It has been blessed with gigantic margins, perfect centering, great signatures and wonderful print quality. For anybody out there trying to put together a condition census 13 Colony type set this appears to be the first note on your list. Newman lists notes from this issue at $1,500 in Gem CU which seems conservative for a note of this quality.

Gigantic margins are seen on this six pence denomination note from the Sterling issue. Well signed and with wonderful print quality this note appears to be just on the cusp of the XF grade. Newman lists this at $900 in Very Fine and $1,500 in XF.
Grade: PCGS VF 35   
Lot #807 - Colonial Currency > Georgia - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)

Grade: Very Fine   
Lot #808 - Colonial Currency > Georgia - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
GA-71a Blue Seal $1 1776
High grade colored seal Georgia notes are always in great demand in the collecting community. SUSTINE RECTUM is found in the seal which Newman translates, "Support what is right." Through the third party holder the note has the appearance of an AU grade. Well signed with great color and just a light fold or two visible. Newman values this blue seal note at $5,000 in XF with no higher grade given. That assessment might seem a bit ambitious but it would not surprise us to see a price realized of at least half that amount.
Grade: PCGS Extremely Fine 40   
Lot #809 - Colonial Currency > Maryland - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
MD-64 Contemporary Inscription $1/2 April 10, 1774
This is a really neat note that should realize well beyond its normal value. PCGS notes a contemporary inscription which states "1774" in the top margin and "Revolutionary Money - Beth from Miss Piggot." This fractional denomination note has gigantic margins on all sides, great signatures, superb printing and a full left indent which is not often seen. This is the type of showcase note that collectors brag about to their non-collecting friends to show them the historical interest that kindles their passion.

MD-90 $8 December 7, 1775
From the face this Maryland note appears to be fully XF with good signatures and crisp paper. The 1775 issue is far scarcer than its 1774 predecessor as is indicated by the Newman value of $500 in Very Fine.
Grade: PCGS VF 25   
Lot #812 - Colonial Currency > Maryland - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
MD-100 $4 August 14, 1776

Grade: Extremely Fine   
Lot #813 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
MA-177 2s/8d December 7, 1775
This could be the world's most affordable Sword in Hand note as the grading service notes it is a partial note with edge damage and repaired tears. With that said it is better than having no Sword in Hand note at all in your collection as the back does show the minuteman with his sword in one hand and Magna Carta in the other. Newman values this at $3,000 in Very Good and $4,500 in Fine but those prices are obviously for intact pieces.

Lot #814 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 550.00 - $ 750.00)
MA-198 1s/8d June 18, 1776
A great example from this condition-challenged issue. These notes were printed on coarse paper and did not make for a high quality note. As we cannot recall ever having seen an uncirculated example this is clearly one of the nicest we have seen. PCGS notes a minor restoration near center but it looks to us to merely be a closed pinhole or something like that. Newman lists this at $1,250 in Extremely Fine with no higher grade listed.

Likely the only way most collectors will ever be able to obtain or for that matter afford a "Small Sword in Hand" note. This contemporary counterfeit is a well signed and crisp example with plenty of embossing present. This counterfeit has been pen cancelled and is given its name due to the much smaller Minuteman vignette than what is seen on the regular Sword in Hand issues. A really spectacular piece that carries itself like an near uncirculated example.
Grade: PCGS Extremely Fine 40   
Lot #816 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 100.00 - $ 200.00)
November 17, 1776 Sword in Hand Reprint
An attractive and interesting reprint of a rare sword in Hand issue that is bright with the full plate impression. These have been very popular recently as collectors swarm to obtain one.
Grade: CU   
Lot #817 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,000.00)
MA-254 2d October 16, 1778
An interesting example from this codfish issue that has two huge sheet selvage and two narrrow margins. It isn't very often that lightly circulated examples are seen as they are either Fine-VF or screaming gems from strips that were cut. When these do appear they generally realize around $750 or more so we would expect a similar result here.
Grade: PCGS Extremely Fine 40   
Lot #818 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 75.00 - $ 125.00)
MA-280 $3 May 5, 1780
PCGS notes that this is hole punch cancelled but it is actually slash cancelled making it much scarcer as such.
Grade: PCGS EF 40   
Lot #819 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 2,500.00)
MA-289 $16 1781
This issue with the hand-signed date was unknown until a few years ago when a small group showed up. Back around 2004 those three notes all realized around $5,000-$6,000 each and this is likely one of those examples. Superbly embossed and very attractive this example is lightly handled. We would expect a solid price for this example based both upon rarity and condition.

A typical hole cancelled example from this popular Colony that Newman lists at $450 in Very Fine.
Grade: Very Fine   
Lot #821 - Colonial Currency > New Hampshire - ($ 400.00 - $ 600.00)
NH-185 $8 April 29, 1780
This New Hampshire guarantee note is bright, well signed and exuding tremendous aesthetic appeal. Hole cancelled as usual. Through the holder the note appears to be a solid AU note. With a printing of only 2,900 for this denomination it is understandable why the Newman reference prices this at $625 in XF and $1,000 in Unc.
Grade: PCGS EF 45   
Lot #822 - Colonial Currency > New Hampshire - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
NH-186 $20 April 29, 1780
Another New Hampshire guarantee note that has great print quality, three boldly executed signatures and a plethora of eye appeal.
Lot #823 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 425.00 - $ 575.00)
NJ-84 18d June 22, 1756
The eye appeal afforded this piece is far superior to its assigned grade. Near Gem margins, with bold print detail and exceptional signatures. Newman lists this at $500 in Unc and we don't have any qualms with that.
Grade: PCGS New 61   
Lot #824 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 450.00 - $ 650.00)
NJ-92 1s June 22, 1756
A lovely example of this first readily collectible New Jersey issue. These are actually very solid margins for the type with incredible detailed printing and three boldly executed signatures. We are somewhat surprised that this did not come in as a higher grade.
Grade: PCGS New 62 PPQ   
Lot #825 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
NJ-92 1s June 22, 1756
The June 1756 issue is the first of the collectible New Jersey issues since they survived in sheet form and are almost always seen in high grade. This example is exceptionally well margined, boldly printed and well signed. PCGS has noted restorations which are seen primarily at the top and bottom of the center fold. Otherwise this beauty has the eye appeal of a gem.
Grade: PCGS Apparent AU 50

Grade: Uncirculated   
Lot #828 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 650.00 - $ 950.00)
NJ-113 6 Pounds November 20, 1757
An astounding example of this rare denomination which had a meager printing of only 1,100 with very few survivors. This is not to be confused with many of the other New Jersey issues of the 1756-1776 time period; this one is scarce in all grades. This wonderfully printed and boldly detailed example faces up like a glorious Very Fine which would not surprise us as PMG is notoriously tight on grading these earlier Colonial issues that don't have wonderful paper quality. Newman values this at $500 in Fine and $1,000 in Very Fine and it would not surprise this cataloger to see a four figure price considering that this very same note sold for $805 just a couple of years ago.
Grade: PMG Choice Fine 15   
Lot #829 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 200.00 - $ 300.00)
NJ-131 3 Pounds April 10, 1759
A scarcer high denomination example from this scarce and underrated early New Jersey note. A well signed example that has a minor edge repair of the bottom center fold. Otherwise it is a classy looking piece with great visual impact that looks even better from the back. With a scant printing of only 2,850 it is easy to see why Newman values this at $500 in Very Fine.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20   
Lot #830 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 200.00 - $ 300.00)
NJ-140 3 Pounds April 12, 1760
A wonderful note that faces up like a solid VF example but for some repaired edge splits, seen at the top and bottom of the center fold. A bright note with a miniscule printing of 2,759 for this denomination. Newman values this at $750 in Fine and $1,250 in Very Fine.
Grade: PCGS Apparent F 15   
Lot #831 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 250.00 - $ 450.00)
NJ-145 3L April 23, 1761
This is #1745 out of a printing of 2,850. These earlier New Jersey high denomination notes are grossly underappreciated by today's collecting community. Higher grade examples such as this one in comment-free holders are worth their weight in gold (yes, VF is high grade for these). Newman values this at $750 in VF and we would not be shocked if this took a run at that number.
Grade: PCGS Very Fine 20   
Lot #832 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 150.00 - $ 250.00)
NJ-158 30s December 31, 1763
While all the lower denominations up through the 15s note are dirt common and almost always high grade once you get to the 30s denomination that all changes. Obviously these did not survive in sheet form and therefore circulated freely which is why we see them lower grade and with problems. This example is very well signed, crisp and fresh with the look and feel of a Very Fine note. Newman assesses the value of these at $300 in Fine and $450 in Very Fine.
Grade: PMG Choice Fine 15   
Lot #833 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
NJ-170 6s John Hart Signature February 20, 1776
Actually a well printed and boldly signed example by John Hart, signer of the Declaration of Independence. There are a couple of edge tears and a tape repaired tear but nothing that affects the all-important signature.
Grade: Fine   
Lot #834 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 325.00 - $ 475.00)
NJ-172 15s February 20, 1776
This is a much scarcer issue which is not to be confused with the March 25, 1776 issue that is seen all the time. A boldly signed and well detailed note that is crisp and attractive. Newman prices these at $350 in XF with no higher grade given.

NJ-173 30s John Hart Signature February 20, 1776

Grade: Very Fine   
Lot #836 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 2,500.00)
NJ-175 1s March 25, 1776
Stunning is the only adjective that comes to mind when viewing this note. It has jumbo margins on all sides, perfect centering, exceptional embossing and flawless paper surfaces. Superb Gem Colonials are always in demand and likely always will be as there are not enough high grade pieces to go around.

Grade: Very Choice CU   
Lot #838 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,250.00)
NJ-183 6L March 25, 1776
With a scant printing of only 3,125 this is by far the scarcest denomination from this otherwise common issue. The note is strictly uncirculated with great print detail and robust signatures. These tri-color Colonials have always been very popular with collectors due to their superb eye appeal. While Newman lists the common denominations at $250 in Unc and $500 in Choice CU the 6 pound note is valued at $2,000 in Unc and $3,000 in Choice CU.
Grade: Uncirculated   
Lot #839 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 900.00 - $ 1,200.00)
NJ-183 6 Pounds March 25, 1776
In terms of both technical grade and eye appeal this high denomination tri-color note is astounding in every way. A wonderfully embossed and well margined example, just a couple of handled corners accounting for the grade. With a printing of only 3,125 this is far and away the scarcest denomination from this painfully common series. The Newman tome places this denomination at $1,000 in Extremely Fine and $2,000 in Unc.
Grade: PMG AU 50   
Lot #840 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
NJ-212 3s 1786
A well signed and very attractive example of this final New Jersey issue that is much scarcer than most other notes that are typically encountered. Even though PCGS notes Minor Restorations the detail remains strong with the look of a Very Fine example. Newman lists this at $1,750 in Fine.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 12   
Lot #841 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
NY-152 10L April 20, 1756
With a printing of 2,200 this is really quite a scarce early New York issue and one of the first that is somewhat obtainable. Strong detail is seen although it needs to be mentioned that there is a lengthy split along the bottom half of the center fold. Unpriced in Newman except to note that an XF sold at 2004 Stacks sale for $1,840.
Grade: Very Fine   
Lot #842 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
NY-154 10 Pounds April 15, 1758
All of these pre-1770s New York notes are very tough to obtain with higher grade and being problem free. PCGS notes an edge nick and mounting remnants but it does very little to affect the eye appeal of this early note.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 25   
Lot #843 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 200.00 - $ 400.00)
NY-164 2L February 16, 1771
An incredible example of this condition-challenged 1771 New York issue. The paper is bright, it's well margined and remains well embossed. A couple of small tear repairs at the top and bottom of the center fold are seen, but that's ok since 98% of the notes from this issue have problems. Newman values this at $900 in Very Fine. Do not be shy when attempting to place your bid on this beauty as it's probably one of the nicest ones you will find.
Grade: Very Fine Choice   
Lot #844 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 200.00 - $ 400.00)
NY-168 1s Water Works August 25, 1774
An incredibly well embossed and boldly signed example from this somewhat less frequently seen Water Works issue. These Water Works notes were the first paper money issued by an American city and have always been very popular with collectors. Newman values this at $350 in XF.
Grade: PCGS Extremely Fine 40 PPQ   
Lot #845 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
NY-194 $5 March 5, 1776
With a meager printing of only 2,350 this New York Colonial is anything but common. It is a solid AU note with bold signatures and excellent print quality. PMG mentions stain repairs, which are confined to the back of the note. The back shows a Candelabrum vignette as well as the motto UNO EODEMQUE IGNI, which Newman translates "With one and the same flame." Newman values this at $1,250 in Extremely Fine and $2,500 in UNC.

Lot #846 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 200.00 - $ 400.00)
NC-68 30s April 4, 1748
Four bold signatures and decent printing remain on this scarce, early North Carolina note that has the Winged Stirrup vignette. PCGS notes splits, edge damage, and backed but with a printing of only 2,000 for this denomination one cannot be too picky. Newman values this at $1,500 in Very Fine which of course is for a problem free example.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20   
Lot #847 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 250.00 - $ 350.00)
NC-70 3 Pounds April 4, 1748
The highest denomination from this scarce early issue it is well signed with the vignette of Fort Johnson and the Union Jack. PCGS notes repaired splits and tears which are omnipresent on these early Carolina notes. A paltry printing of 2,000 results in a catalog value of $1,500 in Very Fine.

Lot #850 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 200.00 - $ 300.00)
NC-82 5 Pounds 1756-1757
This is a much scarcer issue with handwritten dates, in this case December 15, 1757. PCGS has noted that this backed note has splits as they all do from this condition-challenged issue. No printing figures or values are given by Newman except to note that a Fine example sold in the May, 2004 Ford III sale for about $1,500.

Lot #852 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 250.00 - $ 450.00)
NC-124 20s April 23, 1761
Any PPQ note from these earlier North Carolina issues is not to be confused with the droves of notes that are a part of the hoard. This bright, well signed and wonderfully embossed example should challenge the Newman value of $400 in Very Fine grade. A wonderful Proclamation note destined for an advanced collection.
Grade: PCGS VF 25 PPQ   
Lot #853 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 200.00 - $ 300.00)
NC-125 30s April 23, 1761
A bright and very well signed example of this scarcer denomination that had a trivial printing of only 1,000. Newman lists this at $400 in Very Fine but it should be noted we rarely see these notes with this high a technical grade. PCGS notes small edge tears and repairs but they are relatively minor.
Grade: PCGS Apparent EF 40   
Lot #854 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 200.00 - $ 300.00)
NC-130 10s December 1768
We rarely see notes from this issue in this high technical grade but here we have a happy exception. The paper is very bright, with four bold signatures, leviathan margins and only some small edge tears. Newman lists this at $400 for a problem free VF.
Grade: PCGS Apparent EF 40   
Lot #855 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 200.00 - $ 300.00)
NC-133 3 Pounds December 1768
This bright, fully margined and wonderfully printed high denomination note has a repaired center split but not much else wrong with it. Newman notes a catalog value of $400 in Very Fine. These notes are rarely ever found with this high a technical grade.
Grade: PCGS Apparent EF 40   
Lot #856 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 400.00 - $ 600.00)

Lot #857 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 200.00 - $ 300.00)
NC-140 30s December 1771
In terms of eye appeal this is one of the nicest examples we have ever seen. But for a repaired edge tear at left this note is glorious in every way. Gigantic margins on all sides are complemented by this boldly signed and wonderfully embossed note. With a printing figure of only 4,000 this denomination is far scarcer than those lower denominations that survive in the ubiquitous sheets that are floating around in every sale.
Grade: PCGS Apparent AU 53   
Lot #858 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 225.00 - $ 375.00)
NC-142 3L December 1771
With only 3,000 printed this high denominaton note is much scarcer than most of the lower denoms that are found on the surviving sheets. Bold Magna Charta vignette and tremendous signatures give this piece great eye appeal even though there are a couple of minor tears. Newman values this at $375 in XF.
Grade: Extremely Fine   
Lot #859 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
NC-143 5L December 1771
With a printing of only 2,000 notes, this highest denomination should not be confused with the plethora of lower denomination examples extant from this common series. A wonderfully embossed and well signed example with the Drum, cannon and flags vignette. Newman lists this at $500 in XF, almost double what the more common denomination notes are valued at.
Grade: Extremely Fine   
Lot #860 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
NC-165 $8 Leopard April 2, 1776
A lovely example of this Leopard vignette which comes from one of the most fascinating series in all of Colonial currency. There are some edge tears and center split which do little to affect the eye appeal of this nearly XF note. The Midnight Ride example was graded "35" and that sold for $460 on that day. Newman values this note at $1,000 if a problem free VF.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 30   
Lot #861 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
PA-147 10s March 20, 1771
A bright and well signed example of this much scarcer 1771 issue that is vastly underrated by today's wholly unknowledgeable Colonial collecting community. Perfect margins and centering nicely frame this well printed note which looks AU through the holder. Newman lists this at $750 in XF which sounds about right for a note of this caliber.

Lot #863 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
PA-171 4s March 25, 1775
A superb example of this scarcer Lighthouse issue that has great signatures, boldly printed text and superb centering. While all four denominations of this issue have the same printing figure of 3,000 it has been your cataloger's experience that the two highest denominations are far more common than are the lower denomination notes. Newman lists this series at $1,000 in Unc which hardly takes into account the very high state of preservation of this note.

Lot #864 - Colonial Currency > Pennslyvania - ($ 225.00 - $ 375.00)
PA-174 16s March 25, 1775
A very popular Lighthouse note with the back inverted as always. This note is crisp and fresh and faces up like AU. Better margins than most examples that we have seen from this series. With only 3,000 printed for this denomination it is easy to see how Newman values this at $500 in XF.

Lot #865 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 650.00 - $ 950.00)
PA-183 6d October 25, 1775
A gorgeous small change note that looks as if it could just have easily earned another point of consideration from the grading services. Bold red ink signature and serial number remain and the centering is essentially perfect. A flawless note printed on crackling fresh paper. Much more challenging than the commonly seen 1777 issue notes this beauty is listed in Newman at $750 in Unc.

Lot #869 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Ogden Note 5d January 18, 1777
This is simply the nicest Ogden note that your cataloger has ever seen and likely that will remain true well into the future. There is nothing about this note to disparage its reputation. It has monster margins on all sides, the depth of printing is astounding and mountainous embossing ranges across immaculate paper surfaces. Newman values this at $300 in Choice CU which is laughable for an example of this unfathomable beauty.
Grade: Superb Gem CU   
Lot #870 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 300.00 - $ 500.00)
Ogden Note 6d January 18, 1777
A wonderfully embossed and boldly printed example of this desirable Ogden note. It has two huge margins and two smaller margins but the overall quality is that of a Gem. A couple of natural paper inclusions do little to distract from its eye appeal. Newman values this at $300 in Choice CU.
Grade: Gem CU   
Lot #871 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,000.00)
PA-245 1s6d April 20, 1781
This is a scarce later Pennsylvania issue with most available notes in the Fine-VF grade range. Nice XF or better examples are usually only available when advanced collections are dispersed. Not to be confused with the much more common small change notes, these higher denomination examples are really quite scarce. When condition and rarity combine forces high prices usually result. Newman values this at $1,500 in Extremely Fine and $3,000 in Unc.
Grade: PMG Choice EF 45   
Lot #872 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 150.00 - $ 250.00)
PA-271 15s March 16, 1785
A moderately circulated example of this far more challenging final 1785 issue. Evenly circulated with a bold nature print and in a comment-free holder. Newman lists this at $800 in Fine and $1,250 in Very Fine which shows what a challenge these really are.

Lot #873 - Colonial Currency > Rhode Island - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
RI-244 $1/2 Sepbember 5, 1776
A very attractive example of this Lawful Money issue from which this denomination had a paltry printing of 4,000. Evenly circulated and right on the cusp of the full VF grade. These 1770s issues are far scarcer than their 1780 and 1786 cousins and are rarely encountered in comment free holders. Newman lists this at $750 in Fine and $1,500 in Very Fine.

Lot #874 - Colonial Currency > Rhode Island - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
RI-266 $1/18 May 22, 1777
This very scarce fractional denomination note faces up as a bright, boldly signed and very well margined XF which PCGS notes has a restoration at left. A ton of original embossing is evident and the eye appeal is superb. Newman values this at $1,500 for a problem free EF note so we'll scale back the estimate some but not too much.

Lot #875 - Colonial Currency > Rhode Island - ($ 400.00 - $ 600.00)
RI-269 $1/8 May 22, 1777
A well embossed and very presentable example of this scarcer Rhode Island issue that should not be confused with its 1780 and 1786 counterparts. PCGS notes restorations but they are not too terribly distracting and appear limited to the back. Newman values this at $1,500 in Extremely Fine.

A single center fold and a light corner fold are all that separate this conservatively graded note from a much higher grade. It faces up wonderfully and is fully signed on the back making a much more desirable item in this grade.

Lot #879 - Colonial Currency > Rhode Island - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 3,500.00)
RI-292 1s May 1786
There is little to say here. This note is utterly astounding as the PCGS 68 PPQ grade will attest to. Huge margins, perfect centering and mountainous embossing all lend credence to the grade. One of the few notes out there in this state of preservation. We sold one other, I believe, at our 2007 PCDA sale in this grade and that realized a hair over $4,000. We would not be at all surprised to find this note in that class as registry set owners vie to complete their high grade type set.

SC-58 19th Century Reprint 1 Pound June 30, 1748
An exceptionally bright, well printed and superbly embossed example of this note that has been blessed with huge margins. Since it is a reprint there are no signatures or serial number. This should not be confused with the common Cohen Reprints that surface..........this one is far scarcer and more interesting.

This note faces up as a wonderfully signed and well printed example with two bold signatures but no serial number. This Oracle note has the motto FATA VIAM INVENIENT, which Newman translates "The fates will find a way." According to the Newman reference these remainders are worth $250 in XF and $500 in Unc.

Lot #885 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
SC-138 $4 Fully Signed December 23, 1776
A single center fold is seen on this lovely South Carolina Colonial that is fully signed and numbered, not to be confused with the painfully common remainders from this series. Newman lists these at $750 in EF and $1,500 in Unc. The latter value is somewhat misleading as your cataloger can never remember having seen a truly uncirculated and fully signed example from this issue.

SC-145 2s6d April 10, 1778
In terms of eye appeal we are fairly certainly we have never seen an example nicer than this one. It has utterly gigantic margins on all sides, superbly executed signatures, cavernous embossing and boldly printed Cornucopia vignette. These are always popular as a type note so if you're putting together a 13 Colony set this is perfect as your high grade South Carolina note. This note should breeze past the $750 value Newman has put for Choice CU.

This exact note brought $1,955 in the May 2009 CAA Central States Sale. Striking Beaver vignette with bold signatures and great embossing. A hugely margined example that has near perfect centering and which would be perfect for a high-grade type set. Newman values this at $750 in Choice CU which is not particularly realistic for this Gem.

SC-151 20s April 10, 1778
A really high grade example of this scarce denomination that was printed on the second sheet. Well signed with great margins and centering. There is a small piece of tape covering up a minor hole but it does little to affect the eye appeal of this piece. Newman values this at $2,000 in Very Fine with no higher grade given.
Grade: AU   
Lot #890 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 1,750.00)
SC-157 $80 February 8, 1779
This lovely note was printed by Thomas Coram of Charleston, SC and this denomination was part of the original issue. Very well signed with a couple of light folds it has tremendous eye appeal for the grade. The vignette of a Man with Sword bears the motto CONSTANTIA DURISSIMA VINCIT which is translated "The firmest constancy will conquer." Newman prices this at $2,500 in Extremely Fine and $5,000 in Unc making it more valuable than all the other denominations but the highest.

Lot #891 - Colonial Currency > Vermont - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
VT-4 5s February 1781
PMG has net graded this note due to tape repairs and missing pieces which is certainly true enough since only about forty percent of the note is present. For most collectors this is as close to an affordable Vermont note as they will ever come and in today's cash-strapped economy that counts for an awful lot.

Lot #892 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 2,500.00)
VA-138 $6 Handwritten Dates May 4, 1778
Both L. Wood and James Wray signed the higher denomination examples of this RARE issue. Almost all of the notes from this series have printed dates. The handwritten dates were printed only 1,000 per denomination and this is number 220 for the $6 denomination. It is a moderately circulated example that looks half a grade higher. It has absolutely no problems to mention and it is easily one of the nicest examples available. A check of auction records shows the Midnight Ride collection had a stunning AU example with this being the next nicest note your cataloger can ever recall having seen. Newman lists this series at $2,000 in Very Fine with no higher grade given and it would not surprise us to see that mark tested by this piece as it will likely be a long time before another becomes available.

Much like the October issue rice paper note we have in the same grade here. The note is wonderfully signed, fully margined with stunning visual impact. No rips, tears, holes, erosion or the like which is found on 98% of all Virginia rice paper notes. A truly flawless example worthy of the finest Colonial collections.

Lot #894 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
VA-195 $400 October 16, 1780
The non-Colonial specialist might have a difficult time truly appreciating this note but it is well worth all the ogling it receives. These rice paper notes were printed on thin and weak paper so virtually all known examples show signs of tears, holes, ink erosion and other such maladies. This beautiful note, which certainly appears to be Extremely Fine, has huge margins, great centering and bold signatures. By itself that would make it a real premium example. We have examined this note at length and there is not so much as a hint of a problem anywhere and that makes it a potential four figure item.

Serial # 252 from a meager printing of 2,760. These lower denomination notes are actually much scarcer than the high denomination examples even those receive all the glory. A wonderfully embossed, perfectly centered and generally letter perfect example for the grade. Auction records for this lowest denomination note are few and far between. Newman values these at $650 in Extremely Fine with no higher grade given.

A lightly handled example of this early Continental series with great centering and easily detectable originality. One of the signers of this note is Ben Jacobs, long thought to be the second Jewish signer of Continental currency. Although this theory has been debunked in recent years it still carries a premium for notes containing his signature. The higher denomination examples from this series were printed in smaller quantities.

A stunning Continental Loan Office Fourth Bill of Exchange on the colony of Pennsylvania. This example, as were most, was signed by Francis Hopkinson, Treasurer of Loans and well known as a signer of the Declaration of Independence. While Fourth Bills are fairly common the $120 denomination is far scarcer and more desirable than most of the lower denominations.
