Grade: VF +   
Lot #1695 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
Fr. 16c $1 1862
Although this note has a few minor margin tears, the front still has a complete margin all around. Evenly circulated and without any significant problems. Most of the recent offerings in this grade have had one kind of problem or another. This example is decent for the grade.
Grade: F/VF   
Lot #1696 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 17a $1 1862 Radar Serial Number

Grade: Fine   
Lot #1699 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 450.00 - $ 750.00)
Fr. 18 $1 1869
A heavy centerfold likely holds this quality Rainbow out of a VF holder. If I were describing it my description would say VF paper quality with a heavy centerfold through the portrait. PCGS notes: writing in ink on face at left.
Grade: PCGS Fine 15 Apparent   
Lot #1700 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 150.00 - $ 250.00)

Lot #1707 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 40* $1 1923*
A nice quality, four-digit star from a run that is known. A popular type and star from a total of 183 star notes reported. The paper is thin but that's minor indeed. PCGS notes: small paper thin at bottom right edge.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 Apparent   
Lot #1708 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,200.00 - $ 1,800.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923 #A110B

A nice Deuce that does have some minor internal flaws.
Grade: Fine   
Lot #1712 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 42 $2 1869
Great color and margins are just two reasons to consider this Rainbow. I can t see a hint of a fold, so whatever PCGS found must be well hidden. The corners are sharp and show no folds. Some serial number embossing shows through the holder. Should sell for more than a generic AU.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58   
Lot #1713 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 51 $2 1880
A very nice grade large brown seal Deuce with excellent quality.
Grade: XF +   
Lot #1714 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 55 $2 1880
The 55 reported notes on this Fr. 55 is less than a quarter of the number known on its far more common cousin, the Fr. 56. The note has great color, but two pinholes prevent a PPQ designation.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #1715 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,750.00 - $ 3,500.00)
Fr. 57 $2 1917
This has to be among the finest that will ever be found of this series as the space between the notes on the plate are small and not generous. A blazing Superb Gem note.
Grade: PCGS Superb Gem New 67 PPQ   
Lot #1716 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 57* $2 1917
This is a lovely $2 Jefferson star note with a small red seal. Great color and quality. There are only 67 stars reported with just 16 better.
Grade: Ch. AU   
Lot #1717 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 375.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 58 $2 1917

Grade: Ch. CU   
Lot #1718 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
Fr. 60 $2 1917
A common type that is in top grade and only better if it had bigger margins.
Grade: Ch. CU   
Lot #1719 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 61 $5 1861
If you collect the Legal Tender varieties, then this note should be on your must have list. Sporting the low serial #14-B, it is the earliest known $5 Legal Tender and very likely the finest known Fr. 61. Five low grade examples surfaced in the Davenport bank hoard of $5 1862s and 1863s, but no nice ones. Track and Price says there are 28 examples reported, but it is a near certainty that the nine higher grade specimens are incorrectly identified. This is the best one I know about.
Grade: F/VF   
Lot #1720 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 64 $5 1869
A beautiful, fresh, well centered Gem Pioneer family Rainbow note that has it all - color, originality and centering. Just a super appearance for a note from the Rainbow series that is the essence of a Gem.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ   
Lot #1721 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 64 $5 1869
A corner fold at the lower right is likely the only reason this brightly colored Woodchopper missed out on a CU grade.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58 PPQ   
Lot #1722 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 850.00 - $ 1,400.00)
Fr. 64 $5 1869
A nice Rainbow Pioneer family note with excellent color and centering. A problem free note from this issue is always popular.
Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #1723 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,700.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 65 $5 1875 Series A
A very nice and scarce Pioneer family note with several minor age spots along the bottom. There are only 26 serial numbers recorded.
Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #1724 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 72 $5 1880
Slightly rounded corners are seen on this vibrant and popular large brown seal $5. There are no obvious folds or problems.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58   
Lot #1725 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 74 $5 1880
Lovely, deep embossing can be easily seen through the holder on this Woodchopper. A light seal and some paper toning prevents a higher grade.
Grade: Ch. CU   
Lot #1726 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 75 $5 1880
This is a far scarcer signature combination with just 26 examples recorded in the Track & Price census. It is a solid example for the grade, without any tears or pinholes. The margins are excellent as well. This is the first middle grade example auctioned in years. Last fall a VF-30 brought over $2,200.
Grade: VF   
Lot #1727 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 76 $5 1880
An attractive Woodchopper with blue serial numbers and a spiked red seal. There are 76 examples listed by Track & Price and this is one of the nicer circulated pieces. It is completely original and shows strong embossing in spite of being lightly circulated. There are no problems of any sort. Just a few points lower in grade than the three-fold UNC we sold last year in Memphis for $2,875.
Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #1728 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 12,500.00 - $ 25,000.00)
Fr. 78 $5 1880
This is an extraordinary example of the incredibly rare Pioneer family note with the large brown seal and blue serial numbers. This is one of only 39 examples of this distinct type ever to appear. A PCGS 65 PPQ brought over $22,000 last year but it may be a little less for a lovely '64' without the 'PPQ'. Here is your chance to acquire this rarity.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64   
Lot #1729 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 79 $5 1880

Lot #1730 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 80 $5 1880
A pristine Gem example of this pack-fresh Pioneer family note that is exceptional in every way. PMG notes: great embossing.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65   
Lot #1731 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 82 $5 1880
The Lyons-Roberts signature combination is one of the more difficult notes of the series to locate. There are now 66 examples reported, with very few true uncirculated specimens. This beauty was once sold as a CU, but there is a faint fold.
Grade: AU   
Lot #1732 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 300.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 84 $5 1880
A crackly fresh and problem free example of this more available number.
Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #1733 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 85 $5 1907
A gorgeous, fresh and original Pioneer family note with bold margins for the issue. Rare and desirable in every way.
Grade: Gem CU   
Lot #1734 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 86 $5 1907 #D20
This is a lovely Pioneer family with the sought after signatures of Napier and Thompson. The low serial #D20 is icing on the cake. These low numbers are not as available today as they once were.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ   
Lot #1735 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 87 $5 1907
A bright and very well margined Woodchopper with excellent color and fresh paper. A somewhat tougher Parker-Burke signature combination.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64   
Lot #1736 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 2,250.00)
Fr. 88 $5 1907
Few $5 Pioneer family notes ever appear with any margins at all but this example has excellent color, margins and originality.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ   
Lot #1737 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
Fr. 88 $5 1907
Nice enough to have been sold in 1997 as Ch. CU, this bright note returns to the auction block 16 + years later. Apparently today s tougher standards have identified a faint fold. The margins are slightly trimmed.
Grade: AU   
Lot #1738 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)
Fr. 89 $5 1907
Small margin stain at the bottom left edge and top right corner. A much tougher number for the 1907 series.
Grade: XF   
Lot #1739 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 90 $5 1907
Above average margins for this issue.

Grade: VF   
Lot #1741 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 91 $5 1907 Cut Sheet of Four Notes
Four gorgeous and consecutive notes with original paper quality, embossing and rippley paper. Average centering but completely original. The best note could easily grade Gem. One note does have a corner bend.
Grade: Ch. CU   
Lot #1742 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 91 $5 1907

Grade: Ch. AU   
Lot #1744 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 92 $5 1907 PCBLIC Error
This is a lovely example of the classic engraving error where the word PUBLIC appears as PCBLIC. The bottom margin is tight, but still clear of the frame line.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ   
Lot #1745 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 11,500.00 - $ 16,500.00)
Fr. 95b $10 1863 Radar Serial Number
Gargantuan margins surround a perfectly centered front design highlighted by forest green counters and under-print and rich red Treasury seal. Paper originality oozes through the holder. Although PMG mentions repaired , we cannot locate any hint of work anywhere. The four-digit, radar serial adds to the appeal. An old friend which we last sold in October, 2000 for $7150; a level that makes an excellent starting point tonight. Since 2000, we have sold only two '64s', one at $15,000, the other at $12,000. Only one EPQ/PPQ has crossed the block anywhere and it realized $19,975 just last year.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 Net   
Lot #1746 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,200.00 - $ 2,400.00)
Fr. 96 $10 1869
A very nice looking $10 Jackass Rainbow note that has great color and paper quality. Some would definitely grade this XF but there are some small pinholes.
Grade: VF +   
Lot #1747 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 100 $10 1880
A lovely and crisp large brown seal Jackass note with red serial numbers. This variety was found in the Atlantic Collection. Very desirable and lovely.
Grade: CU   
Lot #1748 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 113 $10 1880
Great paper quality is a highlight of this small red seal Jackass note with the Lyons-Roberts signatures.
Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #1749 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 113 $10 1880
A very attractive small red seal Jackass note that has excellent quality for the grade.
Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #1750 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 700.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 118 $10 1901
A sharp, pleasing Buffalo that has good paper quality and centering for the grade.
Grade: VF   
Lot #1751 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 122 $10 1901
A nice, pleasing, evenly circulated Buffalo with a great look, although there is a 1" split on the top.
Grade: Fine   
Lot #1752 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 12,500.00)
Fr. 126b $20 1863
This is a fresh and original example of the first Legal Tender $20. The D position has allowed for three large margins but a tight top. As usual, the brittle nature of the paper used for these early notes has allowed a tiny margin split to form in the top edge. The split has been closed an can only be seen if the note is back-lighted. Obviously unpressed, with only light handling, a center bend and some corner folds.
Grade: AU   
Lot #1753 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 126b $20 1863
This is a lovely example of this rare, desirable and early $20. The top selvage is much more meaningful to the appearance than 10 tiny pinholes and some minor splits that many of the $10s and $20s were found with. From the W. Horton, Jr. Collection. PCGS notes: pinholes, small repairs.
Grade: PCGS VF 30 Apparent   
Lot #1754 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 128 $20 1875
This Fr. 128 has less than one-third as many notes reported as its more available Fr. 129 cousin. No tears or stains, but there is a single pin hole and the overprint is a little weak. Actually, AU and CU notes are offered a lot more often than nice circulated notes.
Grade: VF +   
Lot #1755 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 129 $20 1878
Two pinholes in the center and a weak overprint are the only distractions to this mid-grade $20. An affordable way to represent the type.
Grade: VF +   
Lot #1756 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 3,500.00)
Fr. 131 $20 1880
This scarce Friedberg number shows just 26 examples in the Track & Price census, and only six are reported to be in higher grade than this natural and problem free specimen. Nice circulated notes like this don t turn up often.
Grade: VF +   
Lot #1757 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 143 $20 1880
This note was never actually circulated as it shows no evidence of any folds or bends in the main body of the note. It more likely was part of a cash hoard, since it has a number of corner folds and the edges show some minor softness. The bottom margin has a couple of very tiny splits which could be trimmed away, although that would diminish the note's value, I believe. The colors are vivid and the paper is reasonably clean. Nothing this nice has been auctioned since the Flynn sale in 2008.
Grade: AU   
Lot #1758 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 144 $20 1880
This new addition to the census of this better signature combination increases the count to 58 notes reported. The folds are faint, which makes the note look like an AU. This is a difficult grade to acquire as a mere seven pieces fall between VF-30 and Ch. CU-63.
Grade: XF   
Lot #1759 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 145 $20 1880
This note has excellent body and color. It's the variety with the red seal and blue serial numbers.

Fr. 224 $1 1896
A very early slabbed note, before PMG put EPQ on all notes graded '65' or better. This is a fresh, well centered Gem that may well be a higher grade today as it's so nice.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65

Fr. 224 $1 1896 #80
Fr. 224 $1 1896 Serial # 80
This recent discovery is a real miracle of survival - a nice circulated $1 Ed with low #80. It is believed that the first 100 notes of this type were used by U.S. Treasurer, D.N. Morgan, as presentation pieces. The few low numbers that have surfaced are often autographed by him and are in very high grade. Apparently, the recipient of this note decided to spend it.

Lot #1775 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 25,000.00 - $ 40,000.00)
Fr. 224, 248 & 269 $1, $2 & $5 1896 Educational Set
This set reposed with successive generations of a Colorado family for more than a century. The three notes were displayed in double-sided glass, affixed by a short strip of tape at the right and left ends. The family members peeled the tape and submitted the notes for grading. Absolutely no work has been done and it seems extremely probable that the trace of residue could be removed effortlessly and the notes resubmitted. The net statement reflects perceived value. With minimal investment this set could be improved and resubmitted, or enjoyed entirely in their present state. All three specimens exhibit exceptional colors, deep embossing, razor sharp corners and above average centering, combining for a 'fresh from the press' appearance. PMG comments 'thinned, repaired' on the $1 and $2 and 'thinning' on the $5. The 'thinning' appears to be very short strips of residue from the previous tape. There is neither history nor suggestion of repair. Reflecting the quality of the trio, PMG has placed the $5 at Ch. UNC 64 Net and this D position note could just have easily graded full Gem UNC; the $1, which carries boardwalk margins, as well as the $2 garnered grades of Ch. Abt. UNC 58 Net, although nary a whisper of handling is visible through the holders.

Fr. 297 $10 1886
This is the last of the 1886 Tombstones and has long been recognized as the rarest signature combination for that type. To date, just 14 pieces have been logged by Track & Price, with just two pieces listed in CU. One of those notes is the example we offer here and the other 'CU' has not appeared recently enough to make it into the Track & Price database, so it may be that no CU notes are known on this Friedberg number. (The other 'CU' is part of a short run containing one AU and an XF, so the other CU may not pass today's stricter grading standards.) In any event, this note is certainly one of the finest examples available to collectors. The last nice note to sell was a PMG Net graded AU that brought $18,800 last August, so expect this note to bring as much or more.

Very few Dallas $5s from the 1915 series have ever been found, so anytime an example this nice turns up, collectors take notice. This new addition to the census puts the number recorded at an even two dozen. Of those, most are VF 20 or below, or AU 50 and above. Examples from the popular VF + to XF range are nearly impossible to find. This is a fresh piece, clearly embossed and exhibiting bright paper and natural surfaces. Two tiny pinholes must be mentioned, but they are hidden in the design and are virtually invisible.

Fr. 817?? $10 1915 Kansas City
They continue to expand the possibilities for this series and I am not convinced we will ever have all the varieties. These signatures are what I believe are printed mechanically after the BEP, like the machine that was used to put signatures on National Bank Notes after it was designed. These are not in the plate, engraved or stamped, and are black, not red or hand-signed. This holder calls the note an Fr. 817a, likely graded before the 20th Edition Friedberg was published that changed the definition of 817a. I don't know what PMG would determine the catalog number to be but I know this variety and the pink-red stamped sigs are the most available of this issue as they have been for decades. A true Gem type note. NO RETURNS - if you are not happy with the Friedberg number because you may see it change yet again. The note is Gem 65 EPQ for the type, regardless of how the signatures were applied.

Collectors will find this pleasing example an excellent choice for the type. The colors are vivid and the paper reasonably clean for the grade. The back is a bold orange color with no hint of oxidation or fading. A microscopic split in the margin at the top center is the only negative worth mentioning, although most people would expect a small fault such as this to be allowed with the grade.

Bold inks, especially on the back, makes this vivid Gold note one of the top seven examples reported on this signature combination. There are no tears, pin holes or stains to report. This note looks better than its technical grade. It is one of 27 examples reported, and has been off the market for over a decade and a half. Probably the finest example to cross the auction block since a PCGS XF45 brought $11,500 in our 2006 Memphis sale.

The only collectible variety of this iconic design which boasts gorgeous gold overprint and a bright orange back without a hint of oxidation. Assigned an apparent grade for 'repaired edge tears; minor paper scuffs on face; multiple pinholes', while we agree with the comment about pinholes (visible only when backlit), the minor paper scuffs seem to be soft erasures (of previous pencil writing), and the two repaired edge tears were accomplished with deft hands and consummate skill. The latest version of Track and Price shows that this brought $27,995 in 2013, a price that is not entirely out of reach tonight.

San Francisco, Bank of America National Trust & Savings Assoc., 13044
With close to 3,000 examples listed in the census, this is the ultimate small size National hoard note. With that being the case, it should be noted that there are far more Type 1 notes and there are far more examples of the lower denominations. This new to the census piece is actually somewhat more desirable relative to most of the others as these bring many hundreds of dollars and then some in this grade.

Auction appearances by Red Seals on this bank are generally separated by years, not weeks or months. While PCGS does accurately note there are restorations and some design redrawing and replacement, there is no doubt that in terms of technical grade and aesthetic beauty this is one of the prettiest examples that you will be able to locate.

This charter issued for just over one year and put out less than 1,500 notes in total. This high grade new discovery is just the second $5 note and it is quite a beauty. Just a single note from this charter has been offered at public sale in the last decade and it brought over $2,500. This note is even nicer.

This second title is a neat 'two state' title with about two dozen representatives accounted for in the census. The current example is from a small serial number group that appears to have been from some sheets that were cut up long ago. In today's more robust Nationals market even the most mundane Third Charter notes in AU grade are worth $400-$500 and this note has a lot more going for it than that.

Colby, Thomas County NB, 13076
A very intriguing vertical pair that have both been dated '5-14-54' and have both been signed by Ivy Baker Priest. A little bit of handling primarily around the corners keeps a much better grade out of reach. Just a couple of months ago we saw groups of CU sheets selling for around $2,000 each and a couple of those even had tears in them. A bright and superbly embossed pair that should be of great interest to the powers that be.

The latest Track & Price census lists only two serial numbers for this iconic type. Our lovely specimen retains brown pen signatures and boasts three oversized margins from the 'A' sheet position. In the era before third-party grading, this magnificent note would have justifiably been called XF, without objection. Now, given the huge range within VF, PCGS has chosen to consider this the equivalent of VF/XF. Comments are 'restorations; minor stains', the restorations are entirely confined to the oversized upper margin and the previous problem areas could just as easily have been trimmed away; if there are minor stains present they must be so minor as to escape our detection.

Of the 38 large notes reported from this bank, only three are from the 1875 Series. This could be the finest of those three, but it is hard to say since the last time the other XF was on the market the Soviets were invading Afghanistan! Even this example has been put away since 1990 when it was auctioned by Stack's. It is a beautiful high-grade note with blue end paper, great pen signatures and colors that look like they were printed yesterday. Crackly fresh originality is evident throughout.

This is Maine's example of a hoard bank. It has 39 large notes reported including eight $10s and four $20 Brown Backs in higher grade. There are earlier and later notes that are nice, mostly later. All that makes this a beautiful note to enjoy, so please do. The signatures are of Spier, Vice President and, I think, Berry as cashier.

Here is a very rare Maine Original Series $20. In fact, there are only 234 listed today in the national bank note census. This note is pleasing and one of 17 notes reported. In my opinion, the census shows a duplicate $20 Original. This bank was in business from 1865 to 1917. Excellent pen signatures, even circulation and beautiful eye appeal.

The receiver came calling on this Allegheny County bank in 1934 which explains why it only has 10 small notes known.

Much of the folklore about Nevada National Bank Notes began with this charter, of course it was a Brown Back found. It was then sold around 1970 and no others from Nevada have ever appeared. The census shows 11 large notes reported but I recall seeing a few others, yet they seem to be in tight hands. The signatures have faded and generally this note would be graded VF based on quality, making this an even better opportunity to acquire such an important piece of Nevada National Bank Note history.

While Type 1 notes on this Bismarck institution are not particularly scarce, Type 2s are an entirely different matter. You can count the number of twenties on one hand with this note being far and away the nicest. In our PCDA sale we sold a pretty PCGS VF 25 PPQ for $747.50 and this note is clearly its superior by leaps and bounds. Bright and with enormous margins with one of the most intriguing President's signatures that you will find.

This Adams County community was home to two national banks, both chartered a little later than most with the first in January 1908. They printed 7,295 sheets of large size notes and just six are reported. This note is evenly used with a tiny tip off the upper right corner and a tiny piece of tape on back. Excellent stamped signatures of A.G. Newman, President and J.F. Tracy, Vice President. PMG notes: corner damage, thinning.

This is a great rarity and it carries the charter #27 that immediately follows the First National Bank of Washington, which was the first national bank note printed. There are seven large notes reported but only two public offerings. This grade brought $9,200 in 2010. This jewel is lovely with excellent signatures of M.W. Henry, Vice President and W.H.

This will be the first time I can find any offering of this Fairfield County bank that was the only bank in town. This bank was chartered in 1905 and only issued a total of 1,442 sheets of all large size notes and 271 small size sheets. This is one of two large reported and no small size are known. This is interesting since Don Kelly was so interested in Ohio his records are stronger on 'his' state, or so it would seem to me. Great pen signatures of J.R. Johnson, President and C.M. Wagner, Cashier but it's a bit tight along the top margin.

Virtually all of the three dozen or so small notes that are known are Type 1 notes and this is far and away the best of them all.

This 1875 $20 is a jewel and a wonderful note for a type set as few banks saved many $20s; fortunately this one did. The color is fresh and crisp and the pen signatures are crystal clear. The margins could always be larger; while the note is well framed it wasn't cut perfectly, probably because of the printer. It's a very nice example.

The other $10 in the census was graded F/VF and we sold that note in 2004 for $7,187.50. The $20 note in the census we sold as VF in a 2006 sale for $6037.50.

Johnstown, United States NB, 13781
This is the classic 'forbidden title', the Act of May 24, 1926, forbade the use of the words 'United States' in a bank's title. However, this bank was chartered as the United States National Bank in 1933, one of just two banks in the nation chartered after 1926 and so named. This note is not to be confused with the extremely common notes of charter #5913, also from this town and bearing a similar title. This is the true 'forbidden title' example. Extremely desirable and highly sought after but seldom available, with just two dozen examples reported, far too few for the many savvy collectors who want one in their collections.

Johnson City, Hamilton NB, 13635
Exceedingly rare uncut sheet of #1s from Tennessee, a notoriously rare state for both serial #1s and uncut sheets. Johnson City has a storied history, with an especially fabled era during Prohibition when bootlegging, alcohol distribution, gambling and prostitution, earned the town the nickname 'Little Chicago'. More recently Travis Tritt and Old Crow Medicine Show immortalized about this town in pop music. We removed this sheet from the hard plastic holder it has reposed in for generations. It is utterly free of handling, with razor sharp corners, and a 'fresh from the press' look. Although one fortunate bidder will own this sheet tonight, there will be (an immediately) profitable temptation to satisfy the urges of six collectors. We have not seen a Tennessee serial #1 under $5,000 in years.
