Lot #1569 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > New York - ($ 35,000.00 - $ 75,000.00)
Office of the Assistant Treasurer of the United States $10,000 186_
This Certificate of Deposit is a remainder dated 186_ and was 'signed', or scribbled to cancel the item. These notes were clearing house notes and not for circulation. This is the nicest example I recall seeing. These were issued by Assistant Treasurers for deposits of not less than $100 for a term of more than 30 days. These certificates of deposit earned 5% per annum and had to be turned in to get your money back and for this reason, few remain. Hessler catalog number: X134E. Hessler gives this number his highest rarity rating of R8, with 1 to 3 known. The left vignette is of a Civil War soldier in zouave dress and the center vignette is of The Eagle's Nest.

Lot #1625 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 15,000.00 - $ 30,000.00)
Fr. 94 $10 1862 Partial Face Printing Error
Normal back printing; face completely devoid except for the green under-print consisting of the numeral '10' counters, guilloche in lower central part of the paper and the phrase 'patented 30 June 1857', a time which predates Federal currency! The entire black printing, including the vignette of Art as an allegory, the central eagle, the portrait of slain President Lincoln, the engraved signatures and borders are missing. Likewise, the note lacks the red serial number and seal. Only one similar missing printing exists (on a $500 1882 Gold Certificate) and that was advertised at $250,000 nearly 20 years ago. PCGS describes this an 'Incomplete Partial Face Printing' and comments edge damage which is of minimal consequence. Of epic historic proportions and worthy of the most advanced collection due to the mind-boggling nature of this early error.

Fr. 236 $1 1899 #R100000000A Nine-Digit Serial Number
Looking over auction results for the past 40 years one can find records of less than two dozen nine-digit serial numbered notes from all series in all denominations. The last major offering of these wonderful hand-set nine-digit serial numbered notes was a group of six of them auctioned by Stack's in June 2005. None of those notes were graded, and some were circulated, with others being uncirculated. Four of the six realized over $23,000 a decade ago. The face centering on this beauty is dead on and would warrant a much higher grade. With the back centering being a bit low, PCGS chose to give this beauty a '64 PPQ' grade. We doubt a much more attractive nine-digit serial number note exists to rival this great piece.

Here is a great rarity that's been hiding in plain sight in this Type note collection that's been off the market for more than 40 years. This was Lot 229 in a Donlon sale.

Lodi, NB, 11126
Lodi is the 'Zinfandel Capital of the World'; national recognition came when Credence Clearwater Revival immortalized the town with a song by the city s name. An absolute rarity missing from most California collections; despite that, the piece is toned, a slight bit brittle and has had restoration near the seal and a bit of archival tape reinforcement on the back along the top. Considerably nicer than it sounds; in person examination strongly recommended as there will be NO RETURNS FOR ANY REASON.

Honolulu, First NB, P5550
An available territorial note but still quite desirable due to the fact that it is a Hawaii National. Bright and quite colorful with bold printing quality and the look of a fully VF note. A glance at scans of auctions in recent years shows that almost all the 1882 Value Backs that have sold on this bank have either a badly trimmed top or bottom margin, although this seems to be about the only one that was flagged for that reason.

Always a popular note due to the fact that Hawaii nationals are always coveted and it is also desired for its territorial status. Most examples that we come across don't have anywhere near the detail of this piece and they have clearly visible issues such as staining, tears, etc. PMG does mention a previous mounting and the nebulous term "retouched", although we have great suspicions about both of those assertions.

Utterly original, with nary a hint of restoration; two pinholes and a tiny tear in the extreme right margin confirm the originality of this trophy, now destined to provide a missing link for the next conservator of great Idaho notes. The back carries a tiny bit more soil than the more important face. Any estimate is merely a guess and we expect the lower number to be quickly eclipsed by serious collectors.

Here is likely the most exciting find of the sale as this bank was chartered in 1872 and closed in 1915. To date there are only five large notes reported on this Ogle County location. There were no $1 or $2 First Charters known before and this sheet, which has had the Deuce detached; the other three Aces remain attached. The notes have an excellent appearance along with excellent pen signatures and great color. All notes are higher quality than any of the known examples. The Deuce is VF/XF, as are the Aces but with a couple of restoration spots on the fold lines. Just a wonderful item.

A lovely example of this Steele County bank that was chartered at the very end of 1871. The technical grade and eye appeal are not to be questioned although there are a couple of well-hidden stains.

Scant few auction appearances for this Watonwan County bank and this is one of the nicest we have seen. We cannot account for the VF 20 grade as it appears to be an easy '30' or '35'. Gigantic margins and bright paper are seen on this superbly printed note. There are only a pair of $20 notes, the other of which we sold for $977.50 in 2010.

Plain Back fives and tens only for this scarcer bank that was the only note issuer in town and which left the scene in 1932 during the throes of the Great Depression. An edge tear at lower right does little to affect the overall integrity of this piece. Even in low grade these tend to sell for several hundred dollars and this is actually one of the prettier notes we have come across.

Mountain Grove, First NB, M7282
Head-on collision between total rarity and partial ugly, due to a silked repair for reinforcement of a tear with some minor paper loss just right of McCulloch; this could benefit from better conservation. A quick look at the online image will confirm that this is much more attractive than it sounds. Only five large known and we sold this one in 2013 for $1,380. Aside from the section with reinforcement, the piece is a wonderful Fine, but the value is closer to AG.

Even with an aggressive bid, tonight s hammer might look like a similar bargain in the rear view mirror. PCGS notes: small edge splits at left and right, which are completely obscured by the holder.
