Fr. 2 $5 1861
A lovely, high quality Philadelphia $5 Demand Note that is among the 122 serial numbers reported. Only three are listed in the '30' grade range, and roughly 10% grade higher. In the 2005 Rickey sale a PCGS 30 realized $13,225. This note is new to the census.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #1769 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)

Lot #1770 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,300.00 - $ 2,800.00)
Fr. 18 $1 1869

Grade: PMG Ch. Abt. UNC 58   
Lot #1771 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 350.00 - $ 650.00)
Fr. 29 $1 1880
The Bruce-Gilfillan signature combination is easily the scarcest of the three varieties for this type. This note has huge margins and great centering with a clean overall appearance. A satisfying example that should see plenty of action before the hammer falls.
Grade: PMG Ch. Fine 15   
Lot #1772 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 225.00 - $ 375.00)
Fr. 35 $1 1880
A modestly circulated example of this somewhat tougher legal tender type. The margins are quite abundant on all sides.
Grade: PCGS Fine 15   
Lot #1773 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 275.00 - $ 425.00)
Fr. 36 $1 1917
This is the first signature combination of 1917 legal aces. A razor thin center fold makes its presence felt.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 50   
Lot #1774 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 225.00 - $ 375.00)
Fr. 39 $1 1917

Grade: PCGS XF 45 PPQ   
Lot #1775 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
A lovely Fr. 40 $1 Legal Tender that has Gem paper quality but is too tight on the bottom margin for a Gem grade.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ   
Lot #1776 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 250.00 - $ 400.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
Bright colors and punch through embossing make this a great example for type.
Grade: PMG VF 30 EPQ   
Lot #1777 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 225.00 - $ 375.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
An abundantly margined legal ace that has earned the PPQ designation.

Lot #1778 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 41 $2 1862
This early Deuce has a minor closed split or two, mentioned for accuracy.
Grade: VF   
Lot #1779 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 8,000.00)
Fr. 57* $2 1917
A gorgeous star note that is one of three '66s' recorded. I can't imagine any note of the same grade looking better as these margins are too nice for a '66' to me. There is a short run of 10 or so notes known in this grade range.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #1780 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 60* $2 1917
This star note is gorgeous and I can only find one graded higher of the 348 stars known. The quality will not disappoint you.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ   
Lot #1781 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 60 $2 1917
This $2 Legal Tender issue was not printed on large sheets of paper with big margins all around, yet this note has spectacular margins, color and originality.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ   
Lot #1782 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 60* $2 1917
A fresh, evenly circulated star note that is new to the census, which now put that total at 349 stars recorded. It's been over a year since one as nice was offered.
Grade: PMG VF 25   
Lot #1783 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 7,500.00 - $ 15,000.00)
Fr. 61a $5 1862
Here is a fantastic example of the quality that was possible when the U.S. Government started printing paper money, but it was seldom seen then or now. Personally, I believe this could be the very best of all known examples of this issue. The note has complete originality, exceptional color and paper quality, and centering you never expect to see. Be aggressive if you desire this jewel!
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #1784 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 68 $5 1875
A lovely example of this 1875 Series Legal Tender that has decent centering and exceptional overall quality. There is a corner fold at the upper left.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58   
Lot #1785 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 70 $5 1880
This was far and away the rarest of all Pioneer family notes until a pack appeared some 10 years ago. Now 41 are in the census yet they rarely appear on the market, with the prices for UNCs being very high. This should be fairly priced.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 55   
Lot #1786 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 71 $5 1880
This note is quite fresh but the bottom margin is cut slightly into the design.
Grade: PMG UNC 62 EPQ   
Lot #1787 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 74 $5 1880
Nice mid-grade examples such as this one are a real chore to find as this number is not all that common. This note has great embossing and the look of a fully XF note.
Grade: PCGS VF 35   
Lot #1788 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 85 $5 1907

Grade: Ch. AU   
Lot #1789 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 91 $5 1907
A gorgeous Pioneer family note that has exceptionally bold colors and great centering, hence the '66' grade.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #1790 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 350.00 - $ 550.00)
Fr. 91 $5 1907
Three huge margins and an average fourth are seen on this colorful note with the "PCBLIC" engraving error that is seen on the sixth line of the obligation clause. With XFs bringing around $400 we would expect just a little less from this note which appears to be a broad corner fold from that grade.
Grade: PCGS VF 35   
Lot #1791 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 425.00 - $ 675.00)
Fr. 91* $5 1907
For a Fine 15 example fold counters will likely see this more like it was VF. Not a scarce Woodchopper star but still a type that is always on the want lists of collectors.
Grade: PMG Ch. Fine 15   
Lot #1792 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 9,000.00)
Fr. 92* $5 1907 PCBLIC Error
This is one of only seven Fr. 92 stars recorded and it's likely the finest known. This example has the 'PCBLIC' spelling error on the back.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58 PPQ   
Lot #1793 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 95a $10 1863
This lovely First Issue Legal Tender series came from the Levitan Collection where it was graded XF. I only wish it was easy to buy VF 30s this nice when I'm trying to buy them.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #1794 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 100 $10 1880
A fresh, original brown seal Jackass that could have more margin at the left end. It's tough to get these fairly valued.
Grade: PMG UNC 62   
Lot #1795 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 105 $10 1880
This plain seal without scallops or spikes has always been tough but that has changed with at least one pack appearing. There are 82 serial numbers reported and none listed are finer than this beauty.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ   
Lot #1796 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 105 $10 1880

Lot #1797 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 107 $10 1880
A great chance to acquire top quality Jackass notes now while there are still a few around. Gorgeous originality, wonderful centering and great color.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ   
Lot #1798 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 107 $10 1880
Another, and certainly more reasonable example of a Fr. 107 spiked seal. It's a little tight along the top left end but fresh and original.
Grade: PMG UNC 62   
Lot #1799 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 107 $10 1880
This beauty has a broad corner fold or it would be at least '64', so you get all the look without the money!
Grade: Ch. AU   
Lot #1800 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 450.00 - $ 750.00)
Fr. 108 $10 1880
A large brown seal Jackass note with even circulation. Always a desirable type.
Grade: Fine   
Lot #1801 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 6,000.00 - $ 9,000.00)
Fr. 118 $10 1901
Based on the records I can find less than 20% of the known examples of this signature variety are thought to be UNC. It's very tough to acquire high quality Napier-McClung Bison notes. I expect interest to be good for this beautiful Bison.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ   
Lot #1802 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 250.00 - $ 500.00)
Fr. 122 $10 1901

Lot #1804 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 850.00 - $ 1,500.00)

Grade: PCGS VF 20 PPQ   
Lot #1805 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,800.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 141 $20 1880

Fr. 142 $20 1880

Grade: VF Apparent   
Lot #1808 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 215 $1 1886
A gorgeous $1 Martha that was recently discovered in England. The color is pristine and so is the paper. The margins are much like those seen on the 1886 $2 Silver Certificates. Truly special.

Lot #1809 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 215 $1 1886

Lot #1810 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 400.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 216 $1 1886
A lovely Martha ace that has an internal tear and some adhesive remnants on the back. It has been blessed with great margins and bright paper. Even apparent VFs realize a few hundred dollars in today's market.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20   
Lot #1811 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 150.00 - $ 300.00)
Fr. 224 $1 1896
This is one of the lowest grade Educational Aces we have ever encountered which is precisely why it's in the catalog. Both dealers and collectors alike used to fear even handling notes like this for fear of contracting some malicious microbial malady. Now, with the rise of Lowball Registry Set collectors, this "beautiful" Educational Ace, housed in a super low grade and comment-free holder, will be bid on freely and with passion.
Grade: PCGS Fair 2   
Lot #1812 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 228 $1 1899

Lot #1813 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 450.00 - $ 650.00)
Fr. 228 $1 1899
An exceptionally bright and boldly printed early Black Eagle note. The embossing is fully punched through and there appears to be some very light bends that keep this note from its eventual reality.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58 PPQ   
Lot #1814 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 6,500.00 - $ 9,000.00)

Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ   
Lot #1826 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 237 $1 1923
A superb example with deep embossing, bright paper and exceptional color. In our Memphis sale, we sold a Fr. 238 in a PCGS 66 (No PPQ) holder for $575 all in and this one appears nicer.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #1827 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 237 $1 1923 Z99999976B
While the note itself is probably worth $125-$150 the fancy high serial number adds a great deal of value to this common note. Serial number Z99999976B will charm more than one fancy number collector.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ   
Lot #1828 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 250.00 - $ 500.00)
Fr. 237* $1 1923
A satisfying example of this available silver star that possesses superb depth of printing and mountainous embossing. Far fewer folds than are found on a typical VF/XF type note.
Grade: PCGS VF 30 PPQ   
Lot #1829 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 255 $2 1899 #M99
A lovely Gem $2 Silver Certificate that has everything going for it, including being a low serial #99. People enjoy collecting low numbers and repeating numbers. This note is great for many reasons, especially because we also have the Chief (Fr. 275 #K99) listed here to match - now that's a pair.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #1830 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 7,500.00 - $ 12,500.00)
Fr. 258* $2 1899
The $2 Silver Certificate stars are very scarce, and even with 46 stars reported they are few and far between. There is another '64 PPQ" but other records don't show higher quality slabbed notes. A fresh star note rarity that is sure to please its new owner.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ   
Lot #1831 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 268 $5 1896
An evenly circulated $5 Educational that has plenty of margins and the quality of a VF. Likely a VF 20 Apparent for a tiny closed split.

Lot #1832 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 900.00 - $ 1,300.00)
Fr. 268 $5 1896
A bright and broadly margined example of this popular Educational Five in an affordable collector grade. Remarkably problem-free for a VG note which faces up Fine through the holder.
Grade: PCGS VG 10   
Lot #1833 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 270 $5 1896
A sharp $5 Educational but it has been pressed to appear even better. It has nice centering and color but careful inspection shows it to be of VF quality, while having the XF appearance. This is the scarcest signature for this type.
Grade: VF +   
Lot #1834 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 273 $5 1899

Fr. 282 $5 1923
Exquisite Portholes are few and far between but here we have one that certainly seems to be as nice as any example that I have seen. In fact, the margins are so good I am somewhat surprised it's not graded '67', and if it was I wouldn't argue. Gorgeous beauty and color overall.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ   
Lot #1839 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 282 $5 1923
A gorgeous note that looks Gem but I can see a hint of handling which must have been seen by the grader to call this '58 EPQ'. Someone may think this note is Gem.
Grade: PMG Ch. Abt. UNC 58 EPQ   
Lot #1840 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 1,400.00 - $ 2,400.00)

Lot #1842 - Large Size Type Notes > Treasury Notes - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,750.00)

Fr. 375 $20 1891
I have always really liked this later issue of the John Marshall note, and until a pack was discovered a decade ago these were generally considered just plain rare. This beauty is fresh and original along with great color and centering. Only 121 serial numbers reported in all grades.

An incredibly scarce number with the census standing at a baker's dozen. Bright and very well-margined with some small repaired edge tears cited. A low, four digit serial number adds to the allure of this magnificent piece. At the 2010 ANA Sale, a PCGS Fine 15 sold for $1,150. The finest graded by PCGS is VF 30 so there is no point in waiting for a lovely CU note to stroll down the pike.

This is a very rare issue and it's a lovely note for this grade. The centering is excellent and the color is lovely as well. I thought it was a 35 but we are similar in thought. This beauty sounds equal to four other notes that appear to be this grade, with none better. A VF 30 sold in April 2008 at $32,200 in a perfect storm and another sold at $5,462 two months later.

For as common a bank as this is you need to realize that this note has really incredible grade to it. We rarely see $10 Date Backs with only a couple of light folds. Superb blue ink color and ample margins make this a real treat for anyone who collects National Bank Notes for any variety of reasons. The Green Sheet asking price is $875 in XF 40 and $1,350 in AU 50 but you are hard pressed to find many that look like this.

Until now only two notes from the first sheet of Brown Backs from this rare and desirable family named bank were known. Recently this, the third one, has appeared. Of course the note has slight handling visible but it has bold black inks and it's deeply embossed with exceptionally strong overprints as well. This family bank note is signed by C.E. Conrad, President and W.A. Conrad, Cashier. The last appearance of another from this sheet was a decade ago when that piece brought $33,350, which is the only sales record.

This is one of the scarcest and least available towns in New Jersey. Although the census indicates five large notes reported, none have ever appeared at auction. As I understand the story, this town is in Somerset County but close to Flemington, where Jess Lipka had a coin store in his youth. One day this, and a better example walked into his shop and he bought them. They were rapidly sold to the leading New Jersey collector. I guess because he had a better example he traded this one away. This note, with great pen signatures, will now be the first ever publicly offered on the bank.

Mitchell, First NB, 2645
The First National Bank of Mitchell was chartered on February 8, 1882, very near the end of the First Charter period. The Act of July 12, 1882 provided for the Second Charter period to begin. There were only four national banks that issued Territorials, and of those only three chose to issue First Charter state notes. This bank only printed 866 sheets of four $10 First Charter 1875 Series notes. From that issue this is only the second note known to have survived. The other example was last offered in 1955 and it's condition, while very nice, is not equal to the amazing note we have here. The other known example is from charter #2461, Deadwood, and only 750 sheets were printed, which included $5s, $10s and $20s. The bank with the largest issue was Deadwood #2391 which printed 2,800 sheets of $5s; none of which are known. This is the third note known from the statehood period and I believe the quality is amazing. Here lies an incredible ultra rarity that is among the finest and most desirable nationals we have ever been privileged to sell. In 1889 the Dakota Territory was divided into North and South Dakota, with each achieving statehood. Only banks already issuing First Charter notes, which also required additional notes to be printed after statehood, would receive statehood First Charters for circulation. For North Dakota that amounted to nine issuing banks, but only four for South Dakota, yet one did not issue any. One dozen survivors have been reported on North Dakota, but until now, only two have been found for South Dakota. The present note has the look of a headlight Gem, and was considered that by our consignor. A touch of handling requires the AU grade, but the best AU imaginable. Full margins, amazing pen signatures, original embossed bright paper and dark inks are enhanced by a lipstick red overprint. I cannot imagine a nicer note to represent the fourth rarest state First Charter, after Utah (1), Washington (1) and Nevada (2). If you aspire to a great South Dakota collection, or a complete collection of First Charter notes, this note is indispensable. When the proposed book about the top 100 existing nationals is printed, we expect this specimen to be included. The known First Charters from South Dakota are in the strongest of hands, likely to be off the market for generations. If you desire to own a First Charter South Dakota in your lifetime, the odds are likely determined on whether you purchase this note.
