2015 Memphis Auction > Memphis 2015 Auction - Session 3

Lot #2533 - Stocks and Bonds - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 15,000.00)
1898 $20 Spanish American War Bond
This is a very attractive example of an early Treasury Bond with all 80 coupons still attached. There are only about 10 to 15 known. Last month one sold for $10,575 but this one is far superior in condition. There is a piece of tape over a tear on the back.
Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #2534 - Stocks and Bonds - ($ 7,500.00 - $ 12,500.00)
Second Liberty Loan 4% Interest $100 Bond
This is an extremely rare Liberty Bond. These bonds were issued to fund WW1 efforts. After speaking to some experts, we are told that this is the first public appearance of a $100 4% bond from the Second Liberty Loan. This bond is most likely unique for denomination. In January, a $50 bond from the same loan sold for $8,225. This one should easily exceed that realization.
Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #2535 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 1,150.00 - $ 1,550.00)
Series 471 $1 Replacement
First printing. A mere 16 pieces are listed in the Chambliss reference which certainly helps to explain the Green Sheet asking price of $1,150 in VF 20 grade. Moderately circulated with good centering and decent color. No problems whatsoever to be mentioned.
Grade: PMG VF 25   
Lot #2536 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 6,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Series 472 $5 March 22, 1948 - June 20, 1951 Replacement
The Series 472 was ordered April 9, 1947, issued March 22, 1948 and withdrawn on June 20, 1951. The catalogs indicate one to three replacements known and this piece was just discovered two days ago and it's the last addition to the 2015 Memphis IPMS sale. I grade this note VF 20. I suppose there are no real problems and it has even circulation and wear. No doubt someone will be smiling, first when they see this image and again when they get to add this to their collection. I'm just glad we get to be part of the story.
Grade: VF   
Lot #2537 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 700.00 - $ 900.00)
Series 481 25c Replacement
Third printing. PMG has only graded two notes better than this lovely piece which wields gigantic margins, perfect centering and a lone, faint center fold. The Green Sheet asking price is $865 in AU 50 but when one considers how rare it is to find one in this grade there isn't much time to wait for another.
Grade: PMG AU 55   
Lot #2538 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 700.00 - $ 900.00)
Series 521 $10
A very scarce piece of MPC that apparently has a well-hidden fold lurking within. From outside the holder the note looks C. CU. Somewhat available in AU grade but rare in CU condition.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58   
Lot #2539 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Series 521 $10 Replacement
REPLACEMENT; only seven reported replacements in the MPC catalog and this piece with serial number #E00104507 is not included. Highest denomination of series. "Ceres" engraved by G.E.C Smillie (used on the back of the 1922 Government of the Philippine Islands thirty year gold loan and the Series 661 10 Dollars. "Justice" by Marcus W. Baldwin on back. PMG terms this "VF 25 NET small splits"; one of only three examples listed on the population report and missing from the vast majority of MPC collections we have ever offered.
Grade: PMG VF 25 Net   
Lot #2540 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Series 591 $5
Easily the scarcest note of this series and just a very scarce note in general. Gigantic margins and great ink colors give this VF/XF note the look of a better grade. Just a couple of months ago we saw a cruddy PCGS Apparent Fine 15 sell for almost $500 and that note is not in the same league as this one.
Grade: PCGS VF 30

A third-party graded note that is surprisingly deserving of its grade and perhaps even a smidge under graded. Huge margins are complemented by nearly perfect centering of both front and back. A crackling fresh and colorful star that seems to be worth around $300 in Gem 66 and between $1,500-$2,000 in Superb Gem 68. This note should land squarely in the middle.

I can safely say this is the rarest and most desirable small size star we will be offering in this 2015 IPMS auction. Cleveland was the only district to print stars for that short series as the signers tenure was only 13 months during a temptuous time for the Treasury Department and government during the throws of the Depression. Ogden L. Mills, was Secretary of the Treasury and Walter O. Woods, Treasurer of the U.S. The note is higher either shown in Track & Price. There have been two notes publicly traded, a PCGS VF 23 at $10,925 in June 2013 and a Ch. CU at $53,625 in January 2000. This note is a Gem New 65 PPQ and should remain the heart stopper for the series for some time to come. This will definitely make its new owner 'see stars'>

Fr. 2019-J $10 1969-A Kansas City J-A
This note is a POP 1 with none finer. According to Track & Price this Fr. 2019-J has never publicly appeared for auction. No stats - no non-stats. Exactly what does that mean? It was missing from the Crum and Flynn collections. OK, with ample resources who sought one and who went without? This is the only example in any grade certified at PCGS, and there are no stars either, while PMG has graded a few. Apparently they are not for sale. WE can't be certain what all this means except the catalog value is silly. Even having a catalog value is ridiculous, at least until after this sells.

Fr. 1960-J $5 1934-D Kansas City J-A Double Denomination
This is one of the finest known of all the Kansas City $5/$10 double denomination notes that have appeared. Generally these are labeled '64 PPQ' or '64 EPQ' but this note I thought could possibly be even better, like a '67' or '68'. It's really lovely to me. Guesses are that there were possibly 160 notes that could have survived. This rarity was acquired through Jonathon's in the late 1970s. It's certainly a rare and desirable item.

I remember when this double denomination first appeared on the scene in the Dallas-Houston area. I recall Don Swanson always buying, selling and having this cool double denomination back then. These are now a highly prized and desirable rarity. This is a very high quality example as many saw slight circulation upon release. The assumption is that four sheets of 32 notes may have been printed this way. The double denomination is the King of the error notes.

Given how rare any errors are on the heavily inspected new colorized $100s, this note is truly spectacular! The note was miscut leaving a full one-quarter of the note below still attached. Then it was folded back when sliced up creating an incredibly impressive and eye-appealing major error. We have never seen anything like it. Feast your eyes on it, as it will be the a highlight of the collection it will now enter!

Lot #2756 - Fractional Currency - ($ 700.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 1255 10c Third Issue
A sensational example of this common Fractional type that is highly coveted in Gem and Superb Gem grades. It looks the part of a Gem with ample margins and good centering. The last example we can find selling in this grade brought close to $650 in the past year.

Grade: Ch. CU   
Lot #2758 - Fractional Currency - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 1268 15c Fourth Issue
A wonderful example of a legitimately scarce Fractional number which should not be confused with the commonly seen watermarked plain paper Fr. 1267. The Fractional cognoscenti always look at these notes with skepticism and conjure up mental images of where they see a watermark but it is not there. A pleasing VF that is well-deserving of the EPQ designation. The few times in recent years that these have appeared they have been in VF condition and sell for around $1,000. Tonight's offering should far exceed those dated expectations.
Grade: PMG VF 25 EPQ

Lot #2760 - Fractional Currency - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 1274SP 15c Third Issue Wide Margin Set of Three
A really eye appealing wide margin set of three with the all-important face specimen grading PMG Ch. UNC 64 trimmed. The red back grades PCGS Apparent Very Ch. New 64 due to mounting remnants and minor back stains while the green weighs in with a PMG AU 55 EPQ designation. We don't usually see too many Grant-Sherman sets and this one should prove to be quite popular.
Grade: PCGS & PMG Graded   
Lot #2761 - Fractional Currency - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 1299 25c Third Issue
One of the two fiber paper Fessenden varieties that are much scarcer with the solid surcharges. These notes were much more brittle and cracked easily as evidenced by the splits, tears, repairs mentioned on the PCGS label. A really pretty example for the grade as it clearly faces up as an XF or better note. Always in demand because so many collectors need this number to fill in their sets.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 35   
Lot #2762 - Fractional Currency - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 1308/1309 25c Fifth issue Tete-Beche Pair
There was a single sheet that was discovered in the early to mid-1980s and it was cut up into seven pairs for dispersal to the major collectors of the day. This tete-beche arrangement was created so that the localized anti-counterfeiting stain could be placed down the center of the sheet and still appear at the right end of each note when the notes were separated. A lovely Proof pair and one of the nicest that we have seen. Ex: Milt Friedberg and worthy of a solid four-figure price.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #2763 - Fractional Currency - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 1328SP 50c Third Issue Wide Margin Pair
A lovely wide margin specimen pair with both pieces exhibiting fresh and bright paper and great color. The face specimen has a single spot of ink erosion in the 'E' of Spinner's signature, otherwise it is a fresh Gem. The green back specimen is fully wide with a single light vertical fold seen at far right. Notes are graded Apparent Very Ch. New 64 and Ch. Abt. New 58.

Lot #2764 - Fractional Currency - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 1346 50c Third Issue
One word...stunning. Here's another...breathtaking. If we all had notes in our collections that had this kind of eye appeal we would be far more satisfied in our collecting endeavors. Everything about this note gives it the look of a piece that just flew off the presses. The bronzing could blind you, the colors will dazzle you and the embossing is piled as high as a Boston winter snowstorm. On top of all that, the note has a full frame line seen on all sides and the margins are quite wide at many points. Also intriguing is the pre-print crinkle that is seen along the top of some Fr. 1344/1346 notes. If you look at auction records of recent years you will see this is a much scarcer number and one which typically sells in the $400-$600 range. Such will not be the case here this evening.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 55 PPQ   
Lot #2765 - Fractional Currency - ($ 700.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 1374 50c Fourth Issue
Probably the most popular Fractional type and now especially so with the 150 anniversary of the Civil War's end. Typical so-so AU Lincolns in the past year have realized between $450-$700 each from what we have seen. This one looks Ch. CU or better as we cannot find a shred of evidence to support an AU grade. When collectors and dealers see notes like this they always receive several extra bids due to their increased visual appeal and upgrade potential.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 58   
Lot #2766 - Continental Currency - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
CC-4 $4 May 10, 1775
A boldly signed and fresh example of this boar charging spear note. The $4 note from this first Continental emission is really much tougher than it is from some of the later issues. In the past couple of years we have routinely seen XF and AU examples selling in the $700-$900 price range.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #2767 - Continental Currency - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
CC-10 $30 May 10, 1775
Wonderful printing and boldly stroked pen signatures give this lightly circulated note excellent eye appeal for the grade. The $30 Continentals from just about every 1775-1777 issue are highly coveted by collectors and thus more valuable. Recent auction results have been pegging these in AU grade at around $1,000 and Ch. CU examples have been selling for a few thousand.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 53   
Lot #2768 - Continental Currency - ($ 2,250.00 - $ 3,750.00)
CC-19 $1/6 February 17, 1776
Hulking margins are seen on all sides of this robust Fugio fractional Continental note. The $1/6 denomination is the scarcest of the four fractional notes and we would expect a solid four-figure price. We just saw a PCGS Ch. AU 58 PPQ sell for close to $5,000 just a couple of months ago which should make this lovely piece all the more appealing.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #2769 - Continental Currency - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
CC-20 $1/3 February 17, 1776
A light center fold and a minor corner fold appear to be all that accounts for the somewhat conservatively assigned XF 40 grade. A solidly margined note with dead on centering and crisp paper. We have just seen a PCGS AU 55 PPQ note sell for $2,585 and it didn't look too much better than this beauty.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #2770 - Continental Currency - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)

Lot #2771 - Continental Currency - ($ 650.00 - $ 950.00)
CC-28 $6 February 17, 1776
A lightly circulated example of this early Continental issue for which a decent Ch. CU example is a $1,500 proposition.

Lot #2772 - Continental Currency - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 8,000.00)
CC-29 $7 February 17, 1776
An absolutely riveting example of this early Continental note that even as a PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ appears to be under graded by a good point or two. The margins are broad at all points with the centering about perfect. A boldly signed and well printed note that is as original as the day it was printed. We have recently seen a 65 PPQ note sell for around $3,000 and a 66 PPQ note close in on the $5,000 mark. With the superb eye appeal that the present example exhibits, it would not at all surprise us to see it realize...

Lot #2773 - Continental Currency - ($ 900.00 - $ 1,300.00)
CC-70 $30 May 20, 1777
A boldly printed example of the highest denomination note from this second scarcest Continental emission. PMG correctly notes some staining but it is confined to the right end and is somewhat well hidden. A choice AU example that is normally a solid four-figure note when problem free.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 53 Net   
Lot #2774 - Continental Currency - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
CC-91 $5 January 14, 1779
A superbly printed and boldly signed example of this more challenging low denomination Continental from the final issue. A lavish Ch. CU note that would have achieved a far better grade with a little more right margin.

Lot #2775 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
CT-182 40 Shillings May 10, 1775 Uncancelled
Uncancelled notes from this May 1775 issue are far scarcer than the more commonly seen 1776 notes. Very few of these make it to CU grade as a quick check of the Pop Reports at both services will attest to that fact. The printing quality is utterly sublime and the paper surfaces show some traces of embossing.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 53   
Lot #2776 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
CT-214 2 Pence October 11, 1777 Uncancelled
Uncancelled small change notes from this issue are actually much scarcer than the plethora that we normally find on the 1776 issues. A deeply embossed example with a gigantic left selvage. PCGS notes some minor mounting remnants and they really are hardly worthy of mention.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Very Ch. New 64   
Lot #2777 - Colonial Currency > Connecticut - ($ 700.00 - $ 900.00)
CT-240 40 Shillings July 1, 1780 Uncancelled
Uncancelled notes from the 1780 issues are extremely scarce as virtually all of them have a hole cancel or some other form of cut cancel. When these do appear they typically sell for many hundreds of dollars in this lightly circulated state of preservation.
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 50   
Lot #2778 - Colonial Currency > Delaware - ($ 2,250.00 - $ 3,750.00)
DE-76 4 Shillings January 1, 1776
Leviathan sized margins are seen on all sides of this essentially flawless Delaware colonial that is well deserving of its 67 PPQ grade and then some. Everything about this note yells out perfection so it is not really necessary to list its individual qualities; it has them all in spades. One of the prettiest Delaware notes you are likely to find and with recent results from this year showing these notes surrounding the $2,000 mark we would expect that this premium quality example should eclipse that level.
Grade: PCGS Superb Gem 67 PPQ   
Lot #2779 - Colonial Currency > Georgia - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
GA-75a $4 1776 Blue Seal
Absolutely one of the most beautiful examples we have ever seen of this type. Many of the $4 notes that we see for this Liberty Cap and caduceus type display a maroon seal color. Every facet of the blue seal is boldly impressed through to the back and the text above is also solidly punched through. A couple of light glue specks do little to affect the aesthetic charms wielded by this southern colonial. Five bold signatures and impressively bright paper surfaces give it some of the best visual appeal that one could hope to obtain.
Grade: XF +   
Lot #2780 - Colonial Currency > Georgia - ($ 2,250.00 - $ 3,750.00)
GA-122 $20 May 4, 1778
While this is the most available of the three denominations for this issue, it is anything but common. Great margins and superb embossing attest to this note's originality as do the five bold signatures at center. A light horizontal fold is well-hidden just below the serial number. The dispersal of the Newman collection will only serve to increase the awareness and desirability that has been so lacking in the Colonial currency market since the Bicentennial.
Grade: Ch. AU   
Lot #2781 - Colonial Currency > Georgia - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
GA-124 $40 May 4, 1778
A perfectly centered example of this higher denomination note that is not to be confused with the bevy of $20 notes that are seen in CU grade. Five bold signatures and a wonderfully impressed blue seal give this note a lot of pop for the assigned grade. Exotic scrip 'GEORGIA' in cartouche at left. A bright and exemplary note that realized $1,880 almost 2 years ago.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #2782 - Colonial Currency > Georgia - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
GA-124 $40 May 4, 1778
Another $40 note, although this one has mounting remnants, repairs and small edge splits. Nonetheless, this is a very pretty note with dark printing and one of the sharpest seals your cataloger has seen in decades.

Lot #2783 - Colonial Currency > Maryland - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
MD-1 1 Shilling 1733

Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64   
Lot #2784 - Colonial Currency > Maryland - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
MD-130 5 Shillings May 10, 1781
Always an issue that has been coveted for both its rarity as well as its eye appeal. Known as 'Red Money' due to its obvious red printed border, which in this case is quite broad on all sides. PCGS notes restorations, minor stains and enhanced signatures. From the back this note looks squarely XF and the state coat of arms is one of the most sharply printed that your cataloger has had the pleasure of seeing. Newman sets the value at $7,500 in VF and we can understand why; this is an excruciatingly difficult series from which to obtain quality notes. Before this note, the last example we have seen was a PCGS Apparent Fine 12 with missing pieces which realized $1,380 about four years ago. This note will do far better.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20   
Lot #2785 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
MA-159 2 Shillings August 18, 1775
One of the iconic visages in all of Colonial era currency - the sword in hand Minuteman note. Although this note has seen better days (PCGS notes sewn center split and minor back rust stains) it is still a decent example of a low denomination note.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VG 10   
Lot #2786 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
MA-160 2 Shillings 6 Pence August 18, 1775
Not the prettiest example you will find but authentic and a wonderful piece of history. Sewn along the center fold for strengthening but a piece of Revolutionary War history that served its intended purpose. One of the most greatly coveted types in all of US and Colonial currency with a bold and clearly defined minuteman on the back.
Grade: VG   
Lot #2787 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
MA-194 9 Pence June 18, 1776
Top Pop at PCGS. A very scarce low denomination note from this condition-challenged issue. The paper that was used for these notes is very coarse so the printing quality and signatures are usually iffy at best. Signed by Daniel Hopkins with more than acceptable paper quality for the VF grade. Newman values this at $650 in VF which is probably a hair on the conservative side.
Grade: PCGS VF 20   
Lot #2788 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
MA-229 1 Shilling 6 Pence October 18, 1776
The much scarcer 1776 codfish issue with the face engraved and printed by Paul Revere and the back printed by John Gill from cast cuts. A rather scarce odd denomination note which we have only seen a few of over the years. PCGS has graded seven notes, all of which have received an Apparent grade. This note has edge tears of which we count exactly two. A very pretty note that has a lot going for it at the Fine 15 grade level.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 15   
Lot #2789 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 650.00 - $ 950.00)
MA-260 12 Pence October 16, 1778
Although high grade notes are certainly available for this second codfish issue, it is always a pleasant surprise when we see an example such as this one. An evenly circulated VF note that possesses superior printing quality, excellent centering and the bold signature of Thomas Dawes. Thomas was from the famed Dawes family in Massachusetts, whose members included William Dawes, the patriot who took the land route on the famous Midnight Ride.
Grade: PCGS VF 25   
Lot #2790 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
MA-273 4 Shillings 6 Pence 1779
Rising sun vignette which is the final issue with a Paul Revere engraving on the face while the back has the Thomas Fleet pine tree. PCGS notes some paper scuffs and rust stains but the printing and detail are great. These always sell in this grade for many hundreds with Newman validating that fact with a $750 valuation in VF.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20   
Lot #2791 - Colonial Currency > Massachusetts - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
MA-274 4 Shillings 8 Pence 1779
A couple of pinholes are noticed on this wonderful rising sun Massachusetts Colonial. A wonderfully signed and superbly printed example that is as pretty as they come.
Grade: VF   
Lot #2792 - Colonial Currency > New Hampshire - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
NH-128 6 Shillings June 20, 1775
A rare issue with notes engraved on copper and printed on laid paper by Paul Revere (hence the term 'copperplate' note). These notes are similar in style to the May 25, 1775 Massachusetts note but are far scarcer. Signed by Nicholas Gilman as Receiver General and also by an E. Thompson. PCGS lists all the problems that one would expect for a scarce, larger format note: splits, tears, damage, repairs, backing. Newman values this at $5,000 in VG and for good reason. While this note won't likely make it that high, it would not surprise us to see this rarity land in an advanced collection where it will likely reside for many years to come.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VG 8   
Lot #2793 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
NJ-118 6 Pounds May 1, 1758
A very challenging high denomination note from this more desirable early New Jersey issue. PCGS lists some problems on the holder, none of which are particularly discernible, even when the note is held to a light source. As it lays, it looks like a gorgeous red and black note with excellent detail, bold signatures and far better detail than what we ever see on these notes. With only 1834 issues of this denomination, it is not surprising that Newman values this at $750 in VF.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20

A much tougher later New Jersey issue which was the final issue authorized by the state. PCGS notes some edge and internal splits and backing but they don't affect the note's eye appeal too greatly. Well signed and with good detail. Newman values this at $1,750 in Fine.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 12   
Lot #2796 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
NY-154 10 Pounds April 15, 1758
Although PCGS mentions splits, tears, and reinforcement, this is a gorgeous example that appears to be quite under graded. The state Coat of Arms is very well detailed, the signatures are acceptable and the printing quality is great.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 15   
Lot #2797 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
NY-167 10 Pounds February 16, 1771
This is easily one of the nicest examples we have encountered from this notoriously condition-challenged New York issue. A typical example has been severed and repaired with pieces missing, etc. This note has three boldly executed signatures, stunning print detail, and some of the best embossing we have seen on any note from this issue. CU examples are unknown and even XF or AU notes are rare. A handful of miniscule pinholes do nothing to affect the beauty of this piece.
Grade: XF/AU   
Lot #2798 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
NY-185 $1/8 March 5, 1776
Virtually Top Pop at both services as only a single AU 58 is better. None known in CU grade. Two huge margins and spectacular depth of printing attest to the originality of this superbly signed piece. A typical AU note sells in the $600-$800 range for this issue but the current example is anything but typical.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 55   
Lot #2799 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 550.00 - $ 750.00)
NY-191 $1 March 5, 1776
Although technically falling just short of the AU grade, this is one of the prettiest XF 45 Colonials we have seen from this entire colony. Huge margins and boldly accomplished signatures add to the visual allure of this splendid item that is waiting for its triumphant entry into someone's collection.
Grade: PCGS XF 45   
Lot #2800 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
NC-81 30 Shillings March 8, 1754 Serial #40
In the world that we live in where there are literally thousands of hoard notes that have been pinned and repaired or had numerous pieces replaced and redrawn, this note is such a breath of fresh air that your cataloger is going to have to pause for a moment of meditation and reflection. A bright and wonderfully printed example that possesses legible signatures and just some minute stains and edge tears. The left indent is virtually complete, yet another indication of this note's unfettered status. If you use auction archives to see how much Apparent VF 20 or VF 30 notes sell for which have undergone major reconstruction, then there is likely going to be a great deal of weeping and gnashing of teeth once the hammer falls and this lot triumphantly gains entry into the collection of a more insightful collector.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 30   
Lot #2801 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
NC-138 10 Shillings December 1771
Jumbo margins are seen on this common North Carolina note that is sorely under graded at this level. Anyone who has spent years delving into the nuances of this particular collecting field knows that this is about as nice as they come.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64   
Lot #2802 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
NC-162 $5 Thrush April 2, 1776
One of the most fascinating series in all of Colonial currency, with a total of 56 different notes comprising a complete set. To our best knowledge this feat has only been accomplished twice. The note has great detail with a small split and stain seen only from the back.
Grade: XF   
Lot #2803 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
NC-192 $50 May 10, 1780
Of the nine notes that PCGS has graded of this number, seven have apparent grades. Then there is this note and one example graded XF. This is a far scarcer denomination with Newman listing this at $600 in XF.
Grade: PCGS VF 30   
Lot #2804 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 575.00 - $ 825.00)
PA-148 15 Shillings March 20, 1771
Superior eye appeal and great color will follow this tougher Colonial note as it travels into your currency cabinet. A couple of tiny edge nicks are barely visible but the excellent signatures and printing quality are in plain view.
Grade: AU   
Lot #2805 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
PA-195 30 Shillings December 8, 1775
Both services have graded a combined four Gems for this entire series, and all of those were only Gem 65 notes. A very attractive example that looks as nice as most Gems we have seen. Ample margins and good centering give it the look of a better grade.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64   
Lot #2806 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
PA-212 9 Pence April 10, 1777 Horizontal Pair
Both notes individually grade Ch. AU but as a multiple they are far more desirable than the $400 or so that is their chop value.
Grade: AU   
Lot #2807 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 700.00 - $ 900.00)
PA-221a 16 Shillings April 10, 1777
Tied for Top Pop with one other at PCGS. Any Ch. CU or better note from this issue that is not a small change note is quite desirable and worthy of consideration. Sharp printing and colorful signatures give this beauty some of the best eye appeal we can imagine as we are left scratching our heads wondering if the PPQ machine was broken the day this was graded.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #2808 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
PA-224a 4 Pounds April 10, 1777
One of the best kept secrets of Colonial currency is that this note is a closet rarity. The black only example of this highest denomination is much, much scarcer than the typically seen red and black note, which is commonly encountered in AU grade. The combined Population Reports from both grading services have shown that this black only printed note is five times scarcer than the red and black printed 4 Pound note. While PCGS does mention a replaced corner tip and a small edge tear, it should be noted that this is one of the prettiest examples your cataloger has ever seen.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Abt. New 50   
Lot #2809 - Colonial Currency > Rhode Island - ($ 650.00 - $ 950.00)
RI-268 $1/9 May 22, 1777
Easily the nicest example of this much scarcer fractional denomination note that we have seen. This is not one of the denominations that occasionally appears in AU or CU grade. Wonderfully signed and with eye appeal that is unparalleled. Likely a Top Pop caliber note worthy of the best collection.
Grade: XF/AU   
Lot #2810 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
SC-137 $3 December 23, 1776
A single signature remainder with crisp paper and great centering.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63   
Lot #2811 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
SC-154 $50 February 8, 1779
An always popular Coram note with the back showing a large vignette of Atlas. PCGS notes splits, tears, damage, stains and paper pulls. Even in apparent grade, a VF/XF note such as this should realize at least a few hundred dollars.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 30   
Lot #2812 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
SC-158 $90 February 8, 1779
A lovely $90 Coram note that has some staining at bottom center but which is light enough to be overlooked. The back shows Hercules using his superhuman strength to tame a lion. A rather well margined example with bold signatures and excellent printing.
Grade: PCGS Apparent XF 40   
Lot #2813 - Colonial Currency > Vermont - ($ 12,000.00 - $ 18,000.00)
VT-2 1 Shilling 3 Pence February 1781
The colony that is technically not a member of the original Thirteen Colonies but whose notes have always been the most desirable of all Colonial currency. Very scarce due to the fact that the Legal Tender status of this issue was revoked after only a year but notes were subsequently redeemed for tax payments and then burned. Simply a stunning example that has three huge margins and razor sharp corners. PCGS notes multiple repairs which is certainly true enough of virtually all Vermont notes. A wonderfully printed and boldly signed example with the motto 'Vermont Calls For Justice' surrounding the Scales of Justice emblem at left. Almost always a five-figure note unless a real piece of junk which this note certainly is not. An impressive addition to any Colonial currency cabinet and one which immediately becomes a showpiece that gives its owner bragging rights not held by other lesser beings.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20   
Lot #2814 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
VA-194 $300 October 16, 1780
One of the nicest rice paper notes that we have seen we have seen from any issue with any XF note in a comment-free holder a real find. For the entire October 1780 issue both services have only graded eight notes in XF grade, seven of which are only XF 40 (out of over 100 notes total). An absolutely lovely example without a hint of a problem that is worthy of the finest of collections. For a change, the Newman value is abysmally low. In our CPMX sale we sold a $200 note in a PCGS Apparent VF 30 holder, due to a corner repair, for around $500. This note is so far better than that one adjectives fail your cataloger.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #2815 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
VA-206a $150 March 1, 1781 Top Pop at Both Services
Such magnificent quality is seen on this $150 note that is as bright and well signed as we could hope to see. For the entire March 1781 issue both services have combined for a total of 13 AU notes (none in CU of course) and we doubt that any could be prettier than this one.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 55 PPQ   
Lot #2816 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
VA-210 $10 May 7, 1781
An astounding example of the lowest denomination note from this final Virginia colonial issue. Top Pop at PMG as it is the only one they have graded and one of only three graded by both services combined. These low denomination notes are really deceptively scarce and there are few of any denomination that can match this note in terms of both technical merit and aesthetic beauty. A superior example with mountainous embossing and some of the boldest printing that we have ever witnessed. In our CPMX sale we sold the only note deemed to be better; a PCGS Choice AU 58PPQ that realized $1380. The present note should perform just as well if not better; it sold for $920 over half a dozen years ago in a HA sale.
Grade: PMG AU 55 EPQ   
Lot #2817 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
VA-212 $25 May 7, 1781
Another very scarce low denomination note from this final Virginia issue. Although there is a toning spot and small internal tear at left, it is still one of the prettiest examples we have had the pleasure of seeing. Superbly accomplished signatures of Mark and Lyme only add to the allure of this bright and fresh note. A deeply embossed example with a light center fold that is nicer than the PCGS Apparent AU 58 note we just sold at CPMX for $517.50. The highest graded $25 note at both services combined and one which should be emphatically shown to all your friends.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Ch. Abt. New 58   
Lot #2818 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Arizona - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Tombstone, Arizona Territory Russ House Ad Note
c. 1885. A fantastic ad note on the back of a facsimile Confederate 50c of 1864 issue. The Russ House was a famous Tombstone Hotel and Restaurant run by Joseph Pacholy and Nellie Cashman. Nellie Cashman was one of Tombstone s more colorful female entrepreneurs. She was honored on a U.S. 29c postage stamp in 1994. The Russ House building, now known as the Nellie Cashman Restaurant, still stands in Tombstone. A wonderful piece of Arizona Territorial history.

Grade: VF/XF   
Lot #2824 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Delaware - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Wilmington Bank of Delaware $10 Proof
A riveting example of this tougher Wilmington Proof that has great margins, bright paper and nary a flaw to be found. A little bending at the corner accounts for the grade. Printed on India paper and mounted on cardstock with six POCs along the signature lines. Easily mistaken for a Gem proof and likely to be bid as such.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58 PPQ   
Lot #2825 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > District of Columbia - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Washington Virginia Bank $2 Special Proof
A nearly flawless example of this highly desirable special proof that looks as if it were printed just yesterday. An appealing black and white design with central vignette of bucking broncos stampeding across the plains. A somewhat obscure bank which Haxby states may not have ever actually operated. The only other recent example we can find was a $1 Proof, graded PCGS New 62, which sold earlier this year for around $750.

A lovely and somewhat scarcer proof on the Bank of Augusta that is bright and well printed with flanking circular portraits of George Washington at left and Patrick Henry at right. We recently saw a PCGS Apparent AU 58 sell for over $400.
Grade: PCGS New 61   
Lot #2829 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Georgia - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Augusta Bank of Augusta $20 Proof
While there have been a plethora of Georgia Obsoletes on the market in the past 6 months, surprisingly few were of this Bank of Augusta type. The Dorris collection had a PCGS Apparent AU 58 note that realized over $400. This note has an oval portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh at left with a central vignette of Justice standing by an eagle and holding a portrait of George Washington. PMG notes minor stains and they are barely visible.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63   
Lot #2830 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Georgia - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)

Lot #2831 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Georgia - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Columbus Insurance Bank of Columbus $100 Proof
While the lower denomination notes are somewhat more available, such is not the case for the high denomination Proofs of this type. Currently one of four known and every bit deserving of its Gem designation. Superbly printed with central vignette of a spread eagle with shield in talons while being flanked at the left and right sides of the note by a circular portrait of President Washington. A stunning black and white proof that is uncancelled and extremely desirable.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ   
Lot #2832 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Georgia - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Morgan Bank of Morgan $5 Proof
A sensational quality Proof the likes of which we rarely get to see. Printed on India paper with four POCs along the signature lines but not mounted on cardstock. Huge margins and perfect centering attest to the third-party grading service's abilities in assessing notes of the highest quality. Clearly a four-figure note and we suspect not just by a little.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ   
Lot #2833 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Georgia - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Ringgold North Western Bank of Georgia $5 Proof
A lovely proof with a Revolutionary War scene depicted in the upper left vignette and an oval portrait of George Washington at lower right. A large red brick colored 'V' counter dominates the central portion of the note. Four hole punch cancels along the signature lines as usually seen. Superbly embossed and with sensational eye appeal.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ   
Lot #2834 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Georgia - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Savannah Bank of Commerce $5 Proof
The Dorris Collection only had a relative handful of Proofs on this bank with this being just about the nicest one (the $500 proof in a 68 PPQ holder the obvious exception). Printed on India paper and mounted on cardstock with four POCs along the signature lines. Superior black and white printing gives almost a cameo effect contrasted against the bright white background.

LaFayette Pioneer Association $5 Proprietary Proof
A short-lived bank that only survived for three years from 1856-1858. A very well-centered proprietary Proof that displays a bevy of pastoral vignettes. This same note sold for close to $450 less than a year ago and it is the highest graded example that we can recall having seen.

New Orleans Citizens' Bank of Louisiana $10
This is the famous 'DIX' note, from which the term Dixie supposedly originated. A delightfully attractive note with a central shipping vignette and the lower half of the note displaying a red tint. The back also comes with an impressively well-detailed design. For the 64 EPQ grade this note is remarkably well-margined compared to most that we encounter. In the past few years we have seen several in this grade and they tend to sell for $600-$800 each.

Lot #2847 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Louisiana - ($ 1,750.00 - $ 3,250.00)
New Orleans H. Fassman & Co. 25c
An astounding grade of this rare scrip that, when it does appear, is always seen in F/VF grade. Dated March 22, 1862 with bright paper surfaces and embossing that could induce a paper cut. Bright red '25 Cents' protector seen at center with a steaming locomotive in oval vignette at top center. Far lower grade notes sell for several hundred dollars each and that is for mediocre pieces that are way down toward the other end of the grading scale.

Hallowell Central Bank $1 Whitman Plate Note
Some of the other banks on this town are available (American Bank, Northern Bank, Bank of Hallowell) but for this Central Bank it is ultra rare and worthy of the SENC designation given to it in Haxby. Despite the obvious problems listed on the holder such as the missing corner and tape repaired edge tears, this is actually quite a presentable example considering its rarity, which explains why a note in this shape ended up being the plate note in a reference guide. Rarely do these show up at auction and when they have similar examples have toppled the four-figure mark in recent years.

Lot #2859 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Massachusetts - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Holliston Bank $3 Proof
Tied with one other as the nicest graded example we have seen of this illustrious black and white Proof. Four HPCs are seen along the signature lines and the paper quality is nothing short of flawless. Huge margins and superior centering account for the very high assigned grade. The central vignette shows women working on the loom while the lower left oval portrait features Charles Sumner. Sumner was a staunch opponent of slavery and a couple of days following a rather incendiary speech on the Senate floor he was met by Preston Brooks who proceeded to give him a wooden shampoo that resulted in a three year recovery period.

A much scarcer Boston area bank and one which appears rarely at best. Steaming locomotive at depot is the dominant central vignette with a woman with sheaf at lower right. Six hole punch cancels at bottom along the signature lines. Small edge tear at top center with a minor patch of foxing on the back having raised the ire of PMGs cabal of graders. Quincy (pronounced Quinzy by locals) is located next door to Milton with Mount Wollaston a well-known club there.

This Boston suburban bank was in operation beginning in 1853 until becoming the Mount Wollaston National Bank of Quincy in 1864, charter #517. All of the bank's Obsolete notes are listed as SENC in Haxby. A faint corner fold is all that accounts for the grade as it appears to be a lovely Ch. CU example otherwise.

Belvidere Bank of Lake St. Clair $2
February 10, 1850. The first time we ve ever offered this bank. Some research suggests that the Bank of Lake St. Clair never actually opened, but remained in the planning stages. However, this note appears to have been issued; as it is signed, dated, and circulated. A different denomination, in a lesser grade, brought $3,800 at auction years ago; this lovely piece should realize considerably more. A couple of inconsequential flaws consistent with the grade.

January 4, 1857. Really a rare example that we can hardly find any auction records for. Not to be confused with the commonly seen Bank of Mecklenburg notes or the other Bank of Charlotte black and white types that appear. This red tint variety is rarely offered and this $5 denomination appears to be particularly daunting, as the $10 note shows up on rare occasion. PMG net graded this due to some petty edge splits and minor stains that are present. A great note destined to land in the greatest of North Carolina obsolete collections.

Eulalia was the first township in Potter County when it was created in 1810. It was named for the wife of John Keating, a land agent who led the first people to settle in Potter County.

A bright overprint remains on this very well-printed T-22 note. In recent years these have always been a four-figure note or very nearly so and we would expect a similar outing tonight.
Grade: PCGS VF 25   
Lot #2930 - Confederate Notes - ($ 1,750.00 - $ 3,250.00)
T-23 $10 September 2, 1861
A really lovely T-23 note despite the PCGS mentioning small splits, tears, rust, tape repairs. The orange overprint remains relatively strong and has not suffered from heavy oxidation as is so often the case. A boldly signed note with impressive Confederate era vignettes at every turn. A scarce note to begin with in this uncancelled state but even more stuff with full frame line seen on all sides. For those that never went to the Senior Prom this note has a four-digit radar serial number. Even with problems this type easily transcends the thousand dollar barrier.

Grade: PMG VF 25   
Lot #2937 - Confederate Notes - ($ 900.00 - $ 1,300.00)
T-36 $5 September 2, 1861
A very high grade example for this type since Gems are virtually unknown. Virtually all T-36 notes are cut somewhat close or inward which makes this an extremely difficult note to obtain even in near Gem grades.

Lot #2938 - Confederate Notes - ($ 650.00 - $ 950.00)
T-39 $100 July 24, 1862 Nathaniel O. Tilton
A very pretty train note that spent a lot of time in the state of Georgia which we can tell from the interest-paid stamps. Probably worth $200 or so on its own merits but far more valuable due to the presence of its issuance on Aug. 9th, 1862 by Nath(aniel) O. Tilton, Captain and Assistant Quarter Master of the 25th Regiment, Georgia Infantry. This same note realized over $500 just a couple of years ago and it is the highest graded Tilton issued note we have seen.
Grade: PMG UNC 62   
Lot #2939 - Confederate Notes - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
T-39 $100 July 25, 1862 Contemporary Counterfeit
A lovely, high grade contemporary counterfeit that is easily recognized (although apparently not by PCGS) due to the diagnostic of six windows on the third passenger coach instead of the usual seven. The XF grade seems a little harsh when one considers that there aren't any real folds, just a bunch of paper wrinkling and a couple of trace bends.
Grade: PCGS XF 40   
Lot #2940 - Confederate Items - ($ 500.00 - $ 750.00)

Grade: PCGS New 62   
Lot #2941 - Confederate Notes - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
T-41 $100 November 6, 1862
An astounding T-41 note that looks like a near Gem on its own merits but for the smallest upper right corner tip fold that barely intrudes upon the design. A broadly margined and very well centered example that has superior depth of embossing. The back doesn't have any of the usual interest-paid stamps but more importantly it bears the handwritten inscription 'issued New Iberia, LA March 25, 1863.' Such Trans-Mississippi issues are far more desirable and this is easily the nicest example we have ever seen from this location.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58 PPQ   
Lot #2942 - Confederate Items - ($ 8,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
T-43 $2 1862
Here is a truly rare Confederate Deuce that is as high quality as you are likely to find with the green overprint. This note has a couple of minor wrinkles that may have come from county rather than anything else. Decent margins and than I can recall but I'm not a maven on the CSA and its notes.

A lovely Stonewall Jackson note that sure looks a lot nicer than the '62' grade and with a couple of small holes that affect little. From the higher serial number range (36231) and with the corresponding dark red tint. A far more valuable variety.

Abbeville, First NB, S5987
The first note in the book as this is the earliest type from the first bank, alphabetically, in the nation. It's the lowest serial number (304) known as well as the finest of the Brown Backs from here. The note has the best pedigree too coming from Gerald Loegler's collection that we sold in 2003.

Nogales, First NB, 6591
Although not a really scarce bank it certainly one whose notes are tightly held. Most all the notes that we ever see are in the VG/Fine grade range which makes this bright and satisfying VF note quite a catch. PMG notes a tear which we believe we see at the bottom but it blends in rather well. Virtually all examples on this bank hit the four-figure mark and we are quite sure this one will as well.

Easily the scarcer of this future Walmart town's two national banks, with the First National leaving the banking scene in 1930. Plain Back $10s are much scarcer than their $5 siblings.

Third Charter notes on this bank are remarkably common but not so with earlier Nationals. The National Bank Note Census lists only three Brown Backs, with this the only $20 note. A wonderfully printed and exceptional note on a better and more desirable type. PMG notes stains which is really sort of silly as there is some trace yellowing around some of the back edges. We sold this note a handful of years ago for close to $2,000 and in today's fast paced Nationals market we would expect a similar result.

This is an amazing note from the state capital of Iowa and it's one of only two $50 Brown Backs known on this charter. The note has outrageous vanity signatures, great color, nice centering and lovely paper quality except that a couple of fold line splits have been virtually and perfectly restored. I think it's an outrageous Iowa type note.

Panora, Guthrie County NB, M3226
An attractive note from a tough and seldom seen Guthrie County town. Despite 16 notes reported from this large-only issuer, they are tightly held or in museums, and rarely available. Established in 1851, Panora is the oldest community in Guthrie County, and was the county seat until 1876. The unusual naming of Panora resulted from Pioneers viewing the site of the present town from the hillside who exclaimed, "What a beautiful panorama!" Later, when the town was platted, the word "panorama" was contracted to Panora. Lovely pen signatures of T.R. Swanson, Cashier, and Wade Spurgin, Vice President.

Boston, Shawmut NB, N5155
An exceptionally well-signed example of this Boston bank that was chartered in 1898 and which issued Brown Backs, Date Backs and Third Charter Plain Backs, although virtually all known examples are from the Second Charter types. There is little to dislike about this Beantown note that wields superior margins and centering.

A really pretty Ace that we sold almost 20 years ago for over $350 at a time when National Banknotes were worth nothing compared to today's valuations. Bright and fresh with bold inks and superior printing. PCGS notes repairs, edge splits and redrawn signatures but if we took this out of the holder we bet most wouldn't notice anything but possibly the signatures. A lovely western Massachusetts town in Berkshire County that has a grouping of First Charter Aces but few that can rival the aesthetic charms possesses by this note.

Nantucket, Pacific NB, 714
This lovely island south of Cape Cod evokes images of wealth and privilege with this note being emblematic of the beautiful people who vacation there. A pretty Brown Back layout is seen along with bold stamped signatures. Three large margins more than offset a somewhat tight but adequate bottom margin. A modicum of light folds account for the surprisingly accurate VF 30 grade. Not so much as a hint of a problem to be found anywhere and a note that is sure to inspire spirited bidding during the heat of competition.

The first was a PCGS Fine 15 that sold for $805 in our 2014 CPMX sale and the other a VF/XF note that sold for $1,610 back in a very weak 2009 market.

Fort Benton, Montana Territory, First NB, 2476
Fort Benton is the county seat of Chouteau County and was established in 1846. It is one of the earliest settlements in the West. Fort Benton was established by Auguste & Pierre Chouteau as a last fur trading post on the Missouri River. As fur trading declined the American Fur Co. sold the fort to the U.S. Army because it had become an important trade link for miners, merchants, migrants, steamboats and the railroad. The fort was named by the US Army for Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri. The bank was chartered on June 15, 1880 and changed its title to Northwestern National Bank of Great Falls on April 15, 1891. There were 5,229 sheets of Territorials recorded and six notes with the second title. C.E. Conrad was the vice president and Joseph A. Baker, Cashier. This rare and elusive Montana Territorial is a lovely reminder of the gold rush and mining in Montana before the West was won. This note is VF + with some weakness on the three folds when it was either 'mad money' or a savings account for a migrant after the European settlers migrated that way.

Miles City, Montana Territory, First NB, 2752
Miles City is located in Custer County and the first national bank was chartered in July 1882, six years after the city was founded. Nelson Miles was the commander of Fort Keogh but finding that alcohol caused more problems than the Indians he kicked the sutlers out. The moved two miles west and soon it was called Miles City. Nelson Miles' nephew, George, introduced sheep to the area. Livestock speculation brought cattle to the open ranges in the last 1880s and then the railroad arrived. This note has excellent pen signatures of the vice president and assistant cashier. The bottom cut is barely into the design and the paper quality is excellent. This is the only Territorial on the charter.

The First National Bank issued 390 sheets of $50-$100 Brown Backs and this bank issued 1,000 two note sheets of $50-$100 Brown Backs. This is #453 and is only the second offering of this rarity sold by Kurt Kreuger in 1986. There is a $50/$100 double denomination from New Mexico Territory, otherwise I can only find seven from the rest of America. Notes like this are classic rarities and just image what $100 would buy in the Indian Territory at that time. Some restoration.

This is one of the toughest of the 14000 charter banks, as the few known notes are in very tight hands. In fact, this is only the third time in 60 years a note from this bank has been offered at public sale, the last time being a low grade note offered in 2004.

Ashland, First NB, 11978
The census stands at a whopping six small size entries, with three of those being examples with mismatched charter numbers. Aside from those errors, the only other Type 2 note that has sold in recent years was a VF that we sold for over $3,500 back in a very weak 2009 market. This is an evenly circulated Fine that is well deserving of its third-party grade. A Hanover County bank that was the sole note issuer in town. We will be shocked if this does not fall into our estimate range which we consider to be quite reasonable and accurate.

This is an exceptional rarity and the only $5 Red Seal known from the entire state of Wyoming. This first appeared in 2208 in the southern United States. The note is plenty dirty but there are no real flaws. It's new to the census according to Track & Price and is only the tenth large note reported on this Park County bank. The pen signatures are clear on this amazing rarity. The only notes issued by this bank were 395 sheets of $5 Red Seals and 293 sheets of $10 and $20 Red Seals.

A really nice example of this Sweetwater County bank that has a small stain at top center which precludes it from being totally problem free.

This same note sold for around $1,350 in a Heritage sale last year and we sold a Fine example in our 2009 CPMX sale for $2,185.
