The Teehee-Burke was the earliest signature combination to issue $1 Legal Tender stars and currently there are 226 serial numbers recorded. This example is one of two notes graded Superb Gem New 67 PPQ by PCGS and this upgrade was acquired in 2013. The note has exceptional quality in every way.

Lot #2002 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 38* $1 1917 Mule # *10974791B
This note is listed in Track & Price as a '63' but PCGS has graded it '58' which makes this likely the fourth or fifth best known of the 78 mule stars listed. A lovely example that looks like a Ch. UNC and, not surprisingly, it was once graded that way. Elliott-White signatures on this mule.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58

Lot #2003 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 39* $1 1917 # *11471680B
This is the Speelman-White signature combination. The note is among the finest known and was previously called a Gem CU but PCGS calls it '58 PPQ' now making it likely the 10th best of the 335 stars notes reported. The note is fresh, original and lovely. Certainly among the top examples reported.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58 PPQ

Lot #2004 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 7,500.00 - $ 15,000.00)

This is one of three PCGS Superb Gem UNC 67 PPQ stars known, with two of those grades possibly being this note. There are 183 stars of this issue and a good number appear to be UNC. The note is tied for the best for good reason as it's an amazing Superb Gem with amazing qualifications.

Fr. 60* $2 1917 # *4347249B
This Speelman-White signature combination Deuce is 1 of 371 star serial numbers recorded and of those this appears to clearly be in the top five graded. Records show a PCGS 66 that realized $5,581 in 2014. No doubt this fresh, well centered example will receive similar interest.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ

Lot #2009 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 7,500.00 - $ 15,000.00)
Fr. 84* $5 1907 # *164537B
This is the earliest signature combination, Vernon-McClung, that issued $5 Pioneer family stars and this is the finest of the six star serial numbers recorded; the second best is a PMG 64 EPQ. Quality exudes from this note in every way, from the paper quality to the color and centering. Worthy of being the finest known.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ

Lot #2010 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 6,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Fr. 85* $5 1907 # *286115B
This is a beautiful, high quality Gem 66 PPQ by PCGS with the second best being a '58' PCGS. There are only 12 star serial numbers recorded. The quality for this Napier-McClung signature combination note is amazing in every way - therefore it's a Gem New 66 PPQ.

This is a very rare Parker-Burke signature combination with only nine star serial numbers recorded. This note, graded Ch. New 63 PPQ, is the only uncirculated example among those reported with the next best confirmed being an XF 45. The note was acquired a decade ago at $4,600 and the quality is excellent for the grade.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ

Lot #2012 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 6,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Fr. 88* $5 1907 # *931218B
It appears there is a run of four consecutive notes that go with this one and the other three appear to be as nice or even a bit better. There are 55 star serial numbers recorded for the Teehee-Burke signature combination and other than these four there may only be a single other one close to as nice; after that they drop to the '50' range. An important, high quality, fresh and original Pioneer family $5 star. Last year a '65 EPQ' PMG realized $9,400.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ

Fr. 90* $5 1907 # *1766130B
This is the Elliott-White signature combination and there are only 12 star serial numbers recorded. This note is the finest graded but an unverified '63' appears to be of a distinctly higher grade of the notes recorded. The paper quality and originality here are excellent. A very desirable example.
Grade: PCGS VF 30 PPQ

Lot #2015 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 91* $5 1907 # *2445146B
The Speelman-White signature combination was used on many notes and it provided many stars as well with 187 star serial numbers recorded at this time. Among those are very few high grade with only two currently graded higher. This note falls into a small group listed that are potentially the same grade. Excellent originality and paper quality and is infinitely desirable as such.

This is the extremely rare Woods-White signature combination star that has only seven star serial numbers recorded, with this being the only uncirculated note graded.

This is the earliest Buffalo star note issued and is one of only three star serial numbers recorded. This is the lowest grade of the three known examples but the other was sold 23 years ago and the third has no information except being called an AU.

Lot #2025 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 20,000.00 - $ 40,000.00)
Fr. 146* $20 1880 # *3477B
This $20 1880 Legal Tender is a great rarity as a star note with only four star serial numbers recorded and this is the second finest known. The census shows a lower #408B UNC and this Teehee-Burke signature combination $20 is among the rarest stars seen. A '25' PCGS realized $17,625 in January 2013. A great Legal Tender star rarity that is conservatively graded.

This is the last signature combination (Elliott-White) of the 1880 $20 Legal Tenders. There are only 29 examples of star serial numbers reported. This note is graded Very Ch.

This is the Napier-McClung signature combination and there are 52 star serial numbers recorded. This note must be one of three '67 PPQ' in the census. In 2014 a '67 PPQ' realized $12,925. The note is fresh, original and well centered. I don't know how it could be better.

Quality is a tough commodity on any of the 18 star serial numbers recorded with this PCGS XF 45 PPQ at the top of the pile. This Elliott-Burke signature combination is very nice with the look of an UNC but there are at least two folds. The note realized $7,475 in September 2011. There are no other examples graded better than '25'.

This is an Elliott-White mule that is one of the nicest examples known. The census shows 29 star serial numbers recorded including both a '60' and a '45', neither graded but sold by us, CAA and Stack's as UNC, which should make this high quality circ the third or fourth finest known. The note has great color and excellent centering as well.

I am very surprised that there are only 12 star serial numbers recorded with the Speelman-White signature combination. This note is a pleasing VF 30 and I'm shocked this is the finest known, with all the rest from VF 25 to Terrible. This example is quite nice and well centered.

Fr. 282* $5 1923 # *2961D
This, the Porthole, is a one series type and this is the third lowest serial number (*2961D). Speelman-White are the Treasury officers and there are a number of the 46 star serial numbers recorded that are graded various levels of UNC. This is a lovely note with excellent centering and I must say I have yet to see a fold or bend, but it is slabbed. This note sold in 2005 as a CGA 65.

Lot #2052 - Large Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 40,000.00 - $ 80,000.00)
Fr. 303* $10 1908 # *9682B
This note is $10 Silver Certificate with the Vernon-McClung signature combination and was not believed to exist by Doug Murray when it appeared in 1990. It was assumed that Vernon-McClung notes delivered in 1910 had been pre-star large size but there were 592,000 as part of a 1914 delivery, an entirely different matter, and Treasury records concurred. Based on the serial #*9682B it indicates that there were actually 12,000 printed, a surprising number to Doug of about double what might have been expected. This note is definitely unique as I can tell and I expect serious interest among collectors. These days a grade of Fine might fit better but it does have a tiny split. This note realized $28,750 in 2011. PMG notes: splits.

This is a lovely, high quality example of a Daniel Manning 1891 Silver Certificate star that's been graded XF 45. It's fresh and well centered with a couple of folds. This piece was sold as an AU by both Heritage and myself in 2001 and 1998 respectively. The census now shows six star serial numbers recorded but the next best grade is a '25' according to the Track & Price census. This type was last offered in 2001 and that's a long wait between appearances. Treasury signatures of Parker-Burke.

This is the best of the 12 star serial numbers recorded and it has been previously graded '63' by Stack's in 1991. These days this note has been graded AU 55 and 58 EPQ earlier as well.

Not only is this Burke-McAdoo note the finest known, it's the only example ever publicly offered, although there is a VF and a Fine in the listing. This note realized $7,475 in November 2006. It has been graded XF 40 which seems harsh to me but I'm viewing it through the holder. There are only three star serial numbers recorded on this signature combination.

This Burke-Glass signature combination shows only six star serial numbers recorded. Here is a jewel, or should I say a STAR of a note that is a lovely, fresh, well centered '64 PPQ' when the next best may only be XF or less. These very few UNC $20 stars should create exciting demand for the rarity. The last UNC offered was in 1993!!

This is among the best of all 19 star serial numbers recorded with the Burke-Houston signatures and except for a PMG 58, consecutive to this note, all others drop to XF 40 or less. The centering is appropriate for the grade and the color and paper quality are excellent. Very few districts even have this one UNC. Expect serious demand.

This is the finest known of the 16 star notes reported on this White-Mellon 'A' variety. A beautiful, original and fresh UNC that was earlier graded PMG 65 EPQ. I assume the margins didn't quite meet the PCGS '65' grade. The fact is there is only one other UNC listed and it's not certified.

This is an excellent example of a sole survivor and imagine how hard Mr. Phil must have searched through the Dallas Federal Reserve to acquire examples for Amon Carter, Tom Bain or himself. There was quite an interest in Dallas material as early as the 1950s. I think this is a pleasing, evenly circulated note with excellent color and body but there is a very minor light stain in the left end margin.

This note appears to be tied for second best of the five star serial numbers recorded with the Napier-McClung signatures as the top note has been off the market since 1993. The note came from CAA in 1995 supposedly as an XF but not when Len saw it. Grade was changed to VF 30 which seemed enough to him; he is conservative on lower grades.

This Speelman-White signature combination shows 259 star serial numbers recorded. That's quite a stunning number after writing up 'one of a kinds' and 'finest known' again and again.

This is a very high quality $50 mule star that has exceptional color and centering but is labeled 'apparent' because of a tiny split that has a repair at the top margin. There has not been any offering since 2003 when I sold a '55' at $10,925. Non-mule stars in '30' and '35' have brought $12,075 and $10,925 in 2009 and 2011 respectively. PCGS notes: small edge repair at top center. There are only four star serial numbers reported on this Speelman-White signature combination.

Gem Buffaloes are beautiful notes and checking Track & Price census it shows only three '67s' graded by PMG or PCGS, along with nine '66s' and sixteen '65 PPQ or EPQs'.

Fr. 150 $50 1863
This is one of the rarest of all issues of $100 or less. The entire type consists of both 1862 Series notes, of which there are 27 serial numbers recorded, and the new obligation notes, with only 18 examples reported. The total of 45 examples may include some questionable listings. This note is listed on the census but it's clearly listed incorrectly as numbers have been expanded. Now a Fr. 150b New Series 1 with the Act of March 3, 1863 and June 1857 patent date at the left. At least six of the Fr. 150s listed are now Fr. 150b. Yet this note will be the first to have the newest designation. This note is clearly the seventh best as the top six are clearly better and the lower clearly not as nice. The grade of VF 25 Apparent for minor restoration seems fair as this paper was always fragile and splits or cracks can never be far away. In all varieties there are only two other examples that offer a similar quality and they have been unavailable to the market for decades. The last XF 40 brought $182,125 in 2013. I believe the estimate provides a solid range of value for this pleasing circ example with a couple of splits that were closed to avoid further issues. PCGS notes: minor restoration. From the Cleveland Collection.

Fr. 167a $100 1863
The Spread Eagle stands at the top of the iconic issues of US Paper Money. This image was chosen not as an individual but as the spirit of a nation as the eagle watches over it. This is not to be confused with the Black Eagle watching over the government. When I began working for Fred Sweeney in 1970 was when I became aware of the Spread Eagle because Wm. P. Donlon had chosen that image to highlight his reference on large size US Paper Money, and unless my memory has failed me, he chose it for his auction of a portion of his collection. That is why it's always been the Spread Eagle for me. This note appeared as the cover lot for my 1992 Memphis catalog and it had formerly been the property of William Anton, Sr. This beautiful example has been graded Ch. New 63 by PCGS which is exactly the same as I did back in 1992. The census for the entire issue of Spread Eagle $100s is only 50. Which includes Fr. 165 with finest recorded of VF 25 and 15 reported; Fr. 165a has 11 serial numbers in the census with the finest a VF 25. There are no Fr. 166s recorded. Fr. 167 has two known, the finest in XF. Fr. 167a shows 22 serial numbers recorded, there is one 65 EPQ and two Ch. New 63. The Fr. 167b has only two known with the finest being a VF 25. The point is, with 50 known for the type and 3 graded UNC, along with 3 to 5 more that are higher grade the opportunities are few and far between for such rarity. There was a Fr. 167a in PCGS 63 that realized $305,500 in January 2013. We expect the desirability of the Eagle could have it soaring among the bidders. From the Cleveland Collection.

Screaming Windom demonstrating incredible embossing, to a depth rarely encountered. This is one of only nine uncirculated notes to garner the coveted PPQ/EPQ designation from either service.

A magnificent Gem $5 Educational. This was the highest issued denomination to the Educational set. It features an allegorical group showing Electricity as the dominant force in the world. 'Banned in Boston' because the conservative banker's wives were offended by the bare breasted allegorical figure! This is a wonderful Gem 66 PPQ that would create the final piece to a well matched set. Great color, originality and centering are all part of the prize. An amazing piece of paper money from the most desirable series.

Fr. 268 $5 1896
In 1897, when the $5 Educational notes were released, the firm of Cabot, Cabot & Forbes was one of the old-time banking companies and they were pillars of the Boston Blueblood society. Mrs. Cabot and Mrs. Forbes were very conservative and when they inspected their first $5 Educational note they ordered their husbands not to allow the notes in their banking and business house. This was due to the naked breast on the figure on the face of the note. Hence the term 'Banned In Boston'. This objection led the government to cancel plans for the $10 Educational note and so abandoning the series. The central vignette shows Electricity presenting Light to the World. Shirlaw did the original design for the $5 Ed and Thomas F. Morris later modified it; he also designed the back. A beautiful Gem that has been graded Gem New 66 PPQ by PCGS. Amazing Gem quality in every way. From the Cleveland Collection.

Four others may well be in the mix but not yet certified. Graded Ch. Abt.

Ornate back Deuces with the large brown seal are exceptionally desirable and at least very scarce, if not rare in top quality. There are only seven certified UNCs shown in Track & Price and this is only the third Ch. AU 58 PPQ. The note was acquired as a Gem from a 1997 CAA sale and I am shocked to find anything at all to keep it from Gem. The last Gem 65 realized nearly $50,000 and as a lovely '58 PPQ' I assume 40% of the Gem - but I can't see any flaws! This beauty will be a near perfect match for the Gem 66 PPQ Ace offered here.

Fr. 1015a $50 1914RS Cleveland
This certainly appears to be the finest of the $50 Red Seals from the Cleveland Collection. An amazing rarity with only six serial numbers recorded, with the next best liated as a VF 35. There are a VG, Fine and VF but one listing is clearly mis-entered and one has no reported grade. When acquired in 2000 the cost was $8,800 and by 2012 a VF 35 brought $5,750. I expect this beauty will create plenty of excitement among collectors. From the Cleveland Collection.

Fr. 1075a $100 1928 A-A
This remains the finest known even though it was graded UNC when sold by CAA in 1998. The point is that this is the best by far and the only other graded example was VG. There were none in the Flynn Collection and nothing has appeared to compare to this beauty. There is a tiny restored split near the right edge; it's minor, but it's there. This bright and well centered example was a proud part of the Cleveland Collection.

This is the finest listed in the Track & Price census of 23 serial numbers recorded. After this there are two graded '50' but none of the top seven are certified until this note. It was in 1997 when the note was sold by CAA as an UNC. It is a beautiful example and there will be few opportunities to acquire this rarity. A Fine 15 realized $12,650 in 2008.

Fr. 1075b $100 1914RS Cleveland
This note was sold in 1999 as an AU and now it has been graded VF 35 Apparent due to a small edge tear repair. Well maybe there is a repair and maybe there isn't but there is a tiny mark on the back. There are only 23 serial numbers recorded and this note should be the sixth or seventh best. The Rickey Collection only has a VF 25. Definitely appears better than a VF.

This was the finest known when listed as a Ch. CU in 2001 but now this is graded Ch. AU 55. Whether or not it's the finest is under question as a note reported is listed at '63', but is not certified. The first graded example is a PCGS VF 30 in 2008. This note, from the Cleveland Collection, brought $13,200 in 2001.

This note has long been considered the finest known of this Chicago series that has just 11 serial numbers recorded. I sold this note as UNC in 1995 and it was resold as AU by CAA in 2000, now it's XF 45. Still the finest known as the serial #G1 is likely in the Chicago Federal Reserve. The next problem free example is Fine 12 so why not get the best possible. From the Cleveland Collection.

Fr. 1133-D $1,000 1918 Cleveland
The Track & Price census indicates there are 14 large size Cleveland $1,000 extant. This note was shown as a '66' from it's offering by CAA in 2000 at over $60,000. Today the jewel is graded 65 PPQ and it's still the finest known. This will be what collectors want most these days - the finest known denomination in the highest grade possible. PCGS has graded only two; a Philadelphia and this Cleveland with none graded higher, not even a San Francisco. This note has amazing paper quality and centering with color that is bold, great and vivid. Every thing a series collector could ask for. I would not be at all surprised to see this crack the top estimate. From the Cleveland Collection.

This is a beautiful and evenly circulated example of the rarest Technicolor $20 Gold Certificate with the Lyons-Roberts signatures. We sold this in our June 1997 sale as AU and it certainly does have the color and beauty of a higher grade. The centerfold has been possibly strengthened causing the 'apparent' designation but it's beautiful and tough. PMG note: minor restoration of small edge splits at top and bottom center. From the Cleveland Collection.

Fr. 1200a $50 1922 Mule
Here is an amazing and newly found small serial number $50 Gold Certificate which I believe is nearly the finest known. The rarity of the small serial number $50s has forced higher prices regularly and no doubt this jewel should create all the elements needed for a heated bidding competition. The note has exceptional quality and I was surprised that with the embossing this note did not get a PPQ. I do miss things sometimes, but this note is lovely and still currently the best.
