A26a 1 Peso L. 30.11.1898-24.4.1899
Extremely rare issued note. What renders this piece likely unique is the Revolutionary government stamp over the embossed seal. Neil Shafer has never previously seen ANY Philippines type with such a stamp! Purple series A, brown serial number. Embossed seal at left. Hand signed by Pedro A. Paterno. The first Philippine Republic had barely issued a few pieces when it was overrun by American forces; at that point, the Philippines became a United States possession. From an extremely relevant and historic series. WBG terms this "Ch. VF 35 staining beneath revolutionary stamp". Less than twenty numbers away from the Pineda example which hammered for $11,000; the only other issued example we have ever offered.

Series 541 5c Replacement 5/27/58-5/26/61
Third Printing. Top Pop at PMG. A very high grade replacement note that has gigantic margins and dead-on centering. This is the best replacement PMG has seen from the Third Printing and it should sail past the $600 Green Sheet price in Gem 65.
Grade: PMG GEM UNC 66 EPQ

Lot #770 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 450.00 - $ 850.00)
Series 541 50c 5/27/58-5/26/61
First Printing. A wonderfully margined and perfectly centered example of this better grade MPC that only has half a dozen or so superiors at PMG. The Green Sheet asking price is $400 in Gem 65, but with the visual impact afforded this note we are sure that will be surpassed rather easily.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ

Lot #771 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 850.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Series 541 50c Replacement 5/27/58-5/26/61

Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64

Lot #773 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Series 541 $1 Replacement 5/27/58-5/26/61
First Printing. Just about all of the replacements that PMG has graded fall into the Fine-Very Fine grade ranges. This note is bright, fresh and with fewer folds than we typically associate with the VF 25 grade level. The Green Sheet asking price is $550 in VF 20 but we just don't see many of these at all.
Grade: PMG VF 25 EPQ

Lot #774 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)

First Printing. One of only four examples that PMG has graded CU which just goes to show how difficult it is to find these in high grade. The Green Sheet assigns a value of $425 in CU 60 with no higher grade given.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64

Lot #778 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Series 611 $5 1/6/64-4/28/69
We aren't always quite sure what it takes to earn a gem grade but this note certainly seems to be more than deserving of that honor. It has huge margins, great color and clear originality. The Green Sheet is $600 in Choice CU 63 and $1,100 in Gem 65.

Series 641 5c Replacement 8/31/65-10/21/68
A challenging later issue replacement note with only one better at PCGS. Everything about this note screams gem and we expect to see a corresponding level of demand. The Green Sheet only goes up to CU 60 where it applies a value of $225.......an example of this quality should realize multiples of that.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ

Lot #780 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Series 641 10c Replacement 8/31/65-10/21/68
First Printing. Top Pop at Both Services. A gorgeous piece of MPC which is one of only two CU examples at both services combined. A bright and colorful example with the margins and centering to have qualified for a far better grade. We aren't sure how the Green Sheet extrapolated an asking price of $740 in Choice CU 63 since this is the only note that reaches that level. Worth whatever it takes to own.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64

Lot #781 - Military Payment Certificates - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Series 661 10c Replacement 10/21/68-8/11/69

Series 692 5c Replacement 10/7/70-3/15/73
A late issue replacement note that sure looks like it should have graded "74" instead of "64." The paper is as bright as can be while visually perfect at every turn. Only a single note has been graded better at both services combined. The Green Sheet is $300 in CU 60 with nothing better given.
