Lot #1624 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 7,500.00 - $ 12,500.00)
Fr. 7 $10 1861
Very light, even use typifies this earliest "Greenback". The margins are adequate, the Treasurer's signature especially strong. The comment "multiple repairs and restorations" while probably accurate cannot be located through the holder. A very pleasing example. This would serve as a terrific type note or addition to an advanced collection. Two different Fine 15s have brought between $13,000 - $16,000, per census information.
Grade: PCGS Fine 12 Apparent   
Lot #1625 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 16 $1 1862
A very attractive example of this early Legal Tender. It's quite fresh with excellent quality but the lower right border could have more margin. Census records are confusing because numbering has changed and varieties added. From the Rose Bell Collection.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #1626 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 16c $1 1862
Giant margins surround this perfectly impressed specimen with immaculate surfaces and vibrant colors. The paper wave and embossing jump through the encasement. Comments 'severed and tape repaired at left' are accurate, but skillfully performed and not immediately apparent. Everything a Ch. New note should have, and a bit more.

A Gem living in the wrong holder. This is exceptionally vibrant, demonstrates natural paper wave and uber deep embossing. Must have sat on the fence and the wind blew it to the more conservative side in the grading room.

Fr. 60 $2 1917 Cut Sheet
Several cut sheets appear in this sale, all from the same consignor, do not mistakenly view these as common, instead, recognize this auction for what it is: a buying opportunity. Any reason for a grade below Ch. New 63 is completely concealed by the holder, as even the embossing shows. Three notes in this lot grade Ch. Abt. New 58 and one is Ch. Abt. New 55. Four piece lot.

Fr. 90 $5 1907 Mule Top Pop
As of the time of this writing this is the Top Pop mule in the PCGS census of the half dozen or so that have been graded. Compare that to the almost 700 Fr. 91 notes that have been graded and you'll realize that this scarce mule is 100 times scarcer than the type note. A lightly circulated beauty that should find a welcome home in someone's collection.

Lot #1690 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,500.00 - $ 8,500.00)
Fr. 122 $10 1901
There weren't many $10s in the Rose Bell Collection. I would guess because the face value made them more expensive in the 1950s. This Buffalo is fresh and original in every way. A great time to acquire a Buffalo as this grade brought $10,000 back in 2007. From the Rose Bell Collection.

Fr. 123 $10 1923
Andrew Jackson is portrayed on the face of what is now referred to as the "Poker Chip" note based on the design work used on the tens on the back. This example is from the last pack printed (595901-596000), and apparently all were saved. We have sold both the first and the last note. All the quality you could ask for with this grade and more. It's well centered and has bright, beautiful color as one would expect.

Lot #1693 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 12,500.00 - $ 25,000.00)
Fr. 126b $20 1863
Design 19. Small red spiked seal and two serial numbers. PCGS notes repaired edge tears top right. A wonderful classical design of Liberty holding a sword and shield. This was also the design chosen for the earlier Demand Note $20. This beautifully designed note has all of the traits used in this collections formation. The centering is excellent as is the paper quality, except where it was restored along the upper right, hence the Apparent grade. A hoard of both $10 and $20 1862s were dispersed before I was in the business and many have, or had the same flaw. The fact is that they are beautiful and worthy of a special collection. Remember that careful inspection of all $10s and $20s of this issue is necessary. The color and centering of this example are excellent. Current census indicates 152 notes known with one other at this grade and four better.

Fr. 161 $50 1880
The note is broadly margined and is as pretty as a picture. This classic design, with its large brown seal, blue serial numbers and striking vignette of America, is one of our favorite pieces of currency. Fewer than sixty pieces are known of this number in all grades combined, including those in museum and government hands. This note comes from the run that has supplied most all of the high-grade examples of this beautiful type. A number of pieces have been on the market in recent years, realizing in the $15,000-$43,000 range, depending in part on the note's quality, and in part on the number of bidders. This one certainly appears to have the quality. The number of bidders will be decided in Chicago. Certainly beautiful and among the finest known. The most current census indicates 63 notes reported with seven others in this grade and three better.

There are three different signature combinations for this beautiful and rare type. There are 32 of this signature combination in collectors' hands, but there are no UNCs known. Nine of those appear to be graded like this peach - some days AU and some days XF/AU. As beautiful as you are likely to find on this type. No matter how hard you look, this will always be near the top of those known. Look this beauty over carefully as the colors are beautiful, the overall appearance is top notch and its desirability as a type note is as high as possible. In 2006 this note sold as AU and in 2007 as a '45' at $21,850; now it's a '40'. No doubt it will bring even more because it has the look and the eye appeal. A great Black Back $20.

Admiral David Farragut was born July 5, 1801 and was the Navy s senior during the America Civil War, as well as the first full admiral of the U.S. Navy. At only twelve years old he was given his first command during the War of 1812; that of a prize ship taken by the USS Essex, which he returned to port safely. His role was integral in the American Civil War, being largely responsible for the capture of New Orleans and for his victory at the Battle of Mobile Bay. It is from this battle that his famous quote comes: Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! He died August 14, 1870, and has four monuments in his honor as well as numerous places and items named after him, undoubtedly none as prestigious as his portrait on the $100 1890 and 1891 Treasury Coin Notes. The Watermelon note remains the single most recognizable note among knowledgeable collectors of U.S. currency today. It has been so named for the similarity of the design within the oblong areas on the back of the note to the stripes on a watermelon (I guess they never saw Black Diamond watermelons). This note last appeared in public auction as part of the Levitan Collection where it sold to the same buyer of the Grand Watermelon note. Well, we sold them again in 2005, and this was not part of that collection. PCGS has downgraded William A. Philpott's original grade of AU to Extremely Fine 45, but it still remains one of the best you will ever have an opportunity to own. The census lists 34 serial numbers, but eight are permanently impounded by government collections and museums. The note has been graded Ch. XF 45 by PMG. It is one of a group that falls within a five serial number range which includes: A104451 CU Treasury to Smithsonian A104453 XF 45 Levitan (this example) A104454 AU Jason Wade, Bebee, ANA Museum This makes me curious as to the real quality of each, but I have not examined either of the others. In 2005 we sold the following notes: March 2005 Fine 12 $24,150 August 2005 XF 40 $143,750 October 2005 PCGS 50 $207,000 November 2005 PCGS 45 $105,800 As part of the Great Lakes Collection we sold an XF at $143,750, and in the Rickey Collection we sold a PCGS AU 50 for $207,000. Also, in May 2005 Heritage sold a Ch. New for $356,500. Here is how the privately held notes have been listed: A4274 VF A8423 Fine A9108 VF + A12126 AU A17645 VG A26415 CGA XF 45 A27644 Fine A30163 VF A36191 Fine A44220 VG A45094 PCGS VF 30 A67171 CU A93772 Unknown A93800 VF A99502 VG - A104453 AU A108191 VF A109390 XF A110159 VG A110553 VF A112872 VG A116953 XF A117375 VF + A117656 AU A118783 VF-XF This note has been graded XF 45 by both grading services and there are now two others graded XF 45 as well as one graded AU 50. This note still remains, beyond a doubt, one of the finest known. Last time it sold, in 2007, it realized $253,000. This June we sold a VF 30 at $172,500 with lots of interest. No doubt they will want this example even more.

There are 32 Dallas $20s in the census but only one finer is known and it sold in January 2006 for $29,900. In the perfect storm, an inferior XF 40 brought $27,600 in April 2008. The question is what is this grade worth in this market? This type rarely appears in any better grade except from Chicago; the last example of one of those realized nearly $36,000 and it was a PMG 66.

A premium quality example of a number that hasn't been seen in higher grade for a couple of years. Broad margins and clearly visible embossing make this note very desirable.

This wonderful type note has three behemoth margins and a smaller fourth. The color is excellent and the paper appears fully bright.

The Technicolor $20 is the High Relief of the paper money business. During the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt the idea of both the High Relief $20 and the Technicolor $20 were introduced and our great president was on board for both of these amazing issues. Tonight we offer the highest quality we have ever seen on a Technicolor $20 from 1905. It's been graded by PCGS as Superb Gem New 67 PPQ and noted as Ex: Philpott. That, of course, was when Philpott, aka Mr. Phil to his friends, was president of the Texas Bankers Association for decades and had unique access to the vaults of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, where he stored paper money he didn't want redeemed until he had found a buyer. That's Mr. Phil! Let's talk about quality because this note has it all! Viewing this famous Technicolor for the first time is likely to leave you breathless. The rich, deep, dramatic colors against the near perfection of pristine white paper are beyond description. This is your time if you want one of the highest ever graded.

Roosevelt recalled the gold and Gold Certificates in 1934 not many people had the money or desire to save what had fast become such an irrelevant item of the note so distant past. This is my platform for extolling the virtues of high denomination Gold Certificates like this one. While not the finest graded, no doubt it is among them, it has great centering, amazing color and premium paper quality.

Fr. 1223f-I $10,000 1882 Fragment
Imagine my surprise at the recent Philadelphia show when I was called over to a table and asked, "Want to sell this?" and "Do you know what it's worth?" Well, I blurted out something stupid and then was politely corrected with the following story. I was told that an elderly man in his 90s had contacted this dealer about this fragment, claiming that when Franklin D. Roosevelt called in the Gold and Gold Certificates he obliged by redeeming this note at the proper place. After it was properly redeemed, this fragment was returned to him. Now there are a million questions that could be asked but I can't answer any of them. What I do know is that somehow this gentleman acquired this original 1882 $10,000 Gold Certificate after redemption as a souvenir and it remained in his possession until recently. Personally I have never seen a piece cancelled like this before. A story provided by Peter Huntoon lends understanding as to why this fragment exists in its current state. Two different agencies oversaw the redemption of unfit currency, one reporting to the Secretary of the Treasury and the other to the Treasurer. Most of the sorting was done by the Federal Reserve Banks when they were segregated by class and then placed in 100 note straps (doubt that was possible here). The next step was to cancel them by perforation. The strapped notes were then halved lengthwise. The lower halves are shipped to the Federal Reserve Issue and Redemption Division, Secretary of the Treasury. Upon arrival the bank is notified by telegraph and the tops are shipped to the to the National Redemption Division under the Treasurer. After everything checked out and was recorded the notes were destroyed by macerating machinery. All this was started after a simpler process of clipping all four corners proved flawed when notes showed up for redemption with clipped corners, so the process was changed. I have no way of knowing how this gentleman was able to keep his lower portion or whether it was done by the Secretary of the Treasury himself. We do know it's been cancelled, severed lengthwise and you can't use it. What if it was saved whole? PCGS notes: hold punch cancelled, portion of genuine note.

Collage of Large Size US Paper Money
No doubt this frame was an integral part of a banker's office for most of the last century or so. The frame contains fragments of virtually every type of US currency circulating around 1900. The notes have been ripped from the more than 50% of each that was left for redemption. It would be a challenge to recreate a more interesting artistic frame after a light cleaning. If you don't want that then it would be great for repairs. This collage is approximately 19" x 24".

It is a scarce note with no problems. There are now four large examples reported on this tiny Weld county bank. Around 700 people resided in Ault when this note was considered just another $10 bill". That example sold for $2,416 in June 2008. This note is somewhat better than that example and has purple stamped signatures. Currently one of five large notes reported on the bank. This community had many names prior to Ault, which was selected in 1904. Named after Alexander Ault who was a grain dealer that purchased large amounts of wheat during periods of drought and hard times, saving the local farmers. For that service, the residents named the town in his honor.

Thousands poured into the area, and Central City was so named because of its central location among the various camps such as Blackhawk and Mountain City.

Watertown, Merchants NB, M9003
This #1 Red Seal and its "C" position mate are the best large notes available from the 49 recorded pieces in large size. The pen signatures are precisely executed by the President, W.D. Sproesser and the Cashier, D.H. Kusel. Absolutely cavernous embossing is seen throughout and the centering is good. Three years ago the "C" position note brought over $12,000 and that would not be an unreasonable figure today.

Waupaca, NB, 4424
This is the only serial #1 note from this bank of any type, including small size. Issued early, when the Brownbacks carried the bank's first title, this note is one of six examples with that nomenclature. Some light staining is noticed about the center and the edges have some splits, but this states' eager buyers may well overlook those faults in order to add an early #1 note to their collection. The last time this note sold it brought $9,200 in 2005. It should bring as much today.
