Fr. 1501 $2 1928 A-A
High grade examples from this first issue of Legal Tender Deuces are always very desirable but not so easy to locate. When demand outstrips supply of an item, price increases ensue.

Fr. 1528 $5 1928-C F-A
A simply gorgeous note of the highest quality. While notes of this series are amply available in '65' and '66' grades, they are prohibitive in '67' or better. We note that Heritage sold a similar note in '67 EPQ' recently for $1,000. This one is just as nice.

Fr. 1601 $1 1928-A #K55555555A
This note along with several others in today's auction came from the Mel Wilmore collection at the 2014 CPMX auction. If you contact every dealer who sells small size US Currency, and ask for a list of $1 1928 era solid serial numbers for sale, we doubt you'll find any. We have seen only three at auction in the last two years, and know that very few exist. A wise collector will salt this rarity away for future generations.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63 PPQ

A gorgeous Superb Gem Funny Back Ace that is worth a few hundred dollars on its own merits. The two-digit serial number greatly augments the value of this piece.

Funny Back star notes are always a popular choice with small size collectors. This one has great paper wave, blazing blue inks and clearly-defined embossing.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ   
Lot #713 - Small Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 1603 $1 1928-C G-B
Rarely do you find truly Gem 1928-C notes. They are much tougher than the 1928-D and probably the 1928-E in Gem.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ   
Lot #714 - Small Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 1604 $1 1928-D D-B

Fr. 1605 $1 1928-E I-B
A moderately circulated example of this key Silver Certificate that fits the budget of many collectors who don't want to spend a few thousand for a Gem.
Grade: PMG VF 25   
Lot #716 - Small Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 8,000.00)
Fr. 1608 $1 1935-A #C99999999D
Although no one has an exact count, our guess is that less than 30 solid serial #99999999 $1 1928 Series through 1957-B series Silver Certificates have crossed the auction block in the past 50 years. Contrasting the fact that between 12 and 15 solid serial #999999999 $1 FRNs have shown up, with most of them commanding $18,000 to $30,000 each, the price you need to pay for the Silver Certificate #99999999 is a relative bargain. We think all solid 9s Silver Certificates are valued far lower today than what they may realize one day in the future. This piece has centering for a 1935 era Silver Certificate that would warrant a higher grade.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ   
Lot #717 - Small Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)

Fr. 1613 $1 1935-D #T23456789E Wide
Few folks understand the rarity of Silver Certificate ladders. Because Federal Reserve Note ladders show up with some regularity at auction, one might think that Silver Certificate ladders are just as common. In reality they are hundreds of times rarer than FRN ladders. We can recall seeing less than a dozen full up or full down Silver Certificate ladders over the past 40 years. We would argue that if this note is bought at the high end of our estimate, it will one day prove to be a real bargain. This beauty is matched with the next lot, giving you the opportunity to own both a full up and a full down Silver Certificate ladder. This note originally came from the Robert Azpiazu, Jr. collection and was last sold in the Mel Wilmore Collection in March 2014.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ   
Lot #722 - Small Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 1612 $1 1935-C #Q98765432D
We can recall seeing only two full down ladder #98765432 Silver Certificates over the past 40 years. We can't stress enough just how difficult it is find full down ladder Silver Certificates; they simply aren't available on dealer's price lists. This beauty is matched with another lot listed here, giving you the opportunity to own both a full up and a full down Silver Certificate ladder. This note originally came from the Robert Azpiazu, Jr. collection and was last sold in the Mel Wilmore Collection in March 2014. The perfect match to the $1 1935-D Silver Certificate #T23456789E also offered here.

Fr. 1621 $1 1957-B #W55555555A
Collectors seeking out solid serial numbered Silver Certificates know that they have all but disappeared since the Wilmore sale. While both the James W. Billy Key and Mel Wilmore auctions placed a good number of 1935 - 1957 solid serial numbered Silver Certificates into the marketplace, they are now long gone and incredibly hard to buy. The vast majority of Silver Certificate solids have graded '64' or lower, making this great note a true find.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ   
Lot #728 - Small Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 600.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 1650 $5 1934 #A00000321A
We have seen a few three-digit serial numbered notes from this 1934 Silver Certificate series, and they generally sell for around $250 each. This note is not only a low number note but also a descending ladder #A00000321A which increases its desirability and value by leaps and bounds.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ   
Lot #729 - Small Size Type Notes > Silver Certificates - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 1706* $10 1953* *-A

Fr. 1708 $10 1953-B A-A
The final series $10 Silver Certificates are certainly available enough through Gem grades but a solid looking Superb Gem is no easy find.

Fr. 1850-C $5 1929 Philadelphia #C00000066A
There aren't so many low serial numbers known on the Philadelphia district for this FRBN denomination. Aside from the two-digit serial number this is a sought after note in its own right.

Lot #732 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Bank Notes - ($ 350.00 - $ 600.00)

Fr. 1850-K $5 1929 Dallas K-A
High grade Dallas fives are certainly available, but not so much at the '66' and above grade level. This note first sold back in the weak 2009 market for $632.50.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ   
Lot #734 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Bank Notes - ($ 700.00 - $ 900.00)
Fr. 1860-F $10 1929 Atlanta F-A
Atlanta is a better district for FRBN tens with a value of $700 in the small size catalog. A perfectly centered note with razor sharp embossing and solid visual impact.

Lot #735 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Bank Notes - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)

Lot #741 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Bank Notes - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 1890-D $100 1929 Cleveland D-A
A pretty high grade example of this somewhat better Cleveland district. In the past year we have seen notes in this grade sell for as much as $800.

Lot #742 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Bank Notes - ($ 700.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 1890-E $100 1929 Richmond E-A
Richmond is definitely a better district for FRBN hundreds. Somewhat more available up through the "63" grade level but far scarcer at "64" and above since a vast majority of them have a very tight margin. Mountainous embossing validates the assignment of the EPQ designation.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ   
Lot #743 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Bank Notes - ($ 450.00 - $ 650.00)
Fr. 1890-E $100 1929 Richmond E-A
Richmond is a much better district and this one is a well centered Gem but for the tight bottom margin. Within the past year this was a $500-$600 note.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63   
Lot #744 - Small Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Bank Notes - ($ 700.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 1890-J $100 1929 Kansas City J-A
High grade Kansas City notes always seem to approach the four-figure mark. This deeply embossed example should prove to be no exception.

$1 1963 - 2003 Complete 90 Note Set Super Radar Notes
From the late 1970s through about 2010, there were always one to three employees at different U.S. banks and armored car companies that monthly supplied dozens of fancy serial numbers to dealers Robert Azpiazu, Mike Crabb, Mike Abramson and Willy Baeder. With the advent of large banks buying up their smaller competitors, those days are long over. We know of no domestic supplier that is regularly supplying large quantities of $1 radar or repeater notes to any dealer in the past three years. The supply sources have simply disappeared, as the bank and armored car owners have installed very tight controls on employees handling cash. The very few new fancy serial number notes entering the marketplace are now arriving from foreign suppliers, in much, much smaller quantities. This and the next set were assembled over three decades and are now virtually impossible to duplicate, based on today's supply sources. This incredible set contains every possible SUPER RADAR serial number from #01111110, #02222220, #03333330,# 04444440, etc. through and including #96666669, #97777779, and #988888889. All 90 $1 FRNs are at least Ch. UNC with the vast majority being Gem UNC. We know of only six complete super radar sets and we repeat that your chances of assembling another one is now virtually nil. If one seeks out individual uncirculated $1 FRN #ABBBBBBA notes, one would expect to pay $100 to $125 per note, except for the tough ones: #1000001, #30000003, #40000004, #50000005, #60000006, #70000007, #80000008, #90000009, #96666669, #97777779, #98888889. We have seen the $1 #20000002 recently offered at $2,500, historically the toughest serial number in this group to locate.

$1 1963 - 2003 Virtually Complete 90 Note Set Super Repeater Serials
As most of you know reading this catalog, the BEP hasn't printed a $1 FRN above serial #96000000 since 1981. This makes serial number such as 96969696, 97979797 and 98989898 excessively rare. This and the previous set were assembled over three decades and are now virtually impossible to duplicate, based on today's supply sources. This incredible set contains every possible SUPER REPEATER serial number from 01010101, 02020202, 03030303, 04040404, etc. through 98989898. The #96969696 repeater has been substituted with serial #96966969 radar in this set. All 90 $1 FRNs are at least Ch. UNC with the vast majority being Gem UNC. We know of only six complete super repeater sets and we reiterate that your chances of assembling another complete set is now virtually nil. If one seeks out individual uncirculated $1 FRN ABABABAB notes, one would expect to pay $100 to $125 per note, except for the tough ones: #01010101, #02020202, #03030303, #04040404, #05050505, #06060606, #07070707, #08080808, #09090909, which sell for $250 and up, and the #96969696, #979797979, #989898989 which can command $500 to $1,000 each.

$1 1995 Complete Progressive Set #B44444444R, 44444440 to 944444444
A set like this can take decades to complete, and looking at the multiple series included in this set, it would appear the previous owner did take that long. Every possible combination of seven 4s in a serial number is represented in this 65-piece group, from #44444440 through #94444444. The $1 1995 FRN included herein, #B44444444R, was graded PCGS 65 PPQ Gem UNC. All of the remaining notes are Ch. to Gem CU. With seven of a kind and seven in a row notes selling for $30 to $75 each, our estimate is conservative.

We know of many collectors who actively seek out solid serial #11111111. Finding a piece in a 67 PPQ holder is no easy task. It is not uncommon to see solid serial #11111111 bring 50% to 80% more than serial #22222222, #33333333, #44444444, #55555555, and #66666666. We expect this piece will see serious competition.

Most folks who collect fancy serial numbers leave auctions frustrated when competing to purchase serial #00000008 or #88888888. The demand for #8 continues unabated not only in the U.S. but in several far eastern countries. While this note is not yet encapsulated, we feel strongly that it qualifies for Gem CU status.

When you stop to think about it, serial #000000009 is just about as rare as serial #000000003, #4, #5 or #6, but often brings a couple of hundred dollars less at auction. For those who collect serial #00000009 this is a great value.

We have seen only one other solid serial number $2 FRN in a '67' holder and this piece is tied with that specimen for finest known. Four boardwalk margins on this Deuce, making it just a "killer" piece. Considering that you simply don't see any $2 bills in circulation, nor do most cash registers even have a space to accommodate two dollar bills, the chances of finding any solid serial number on a Deuce are extraordinarily low. Considering that less than a dozen solid serial numbered green seal notes have been auctioned since the 1980s, this is a true prize. If you want the finest and among the rarest small size bills, this beauty won't disappoint you.

Only a few times in history did the BEP even issue a B suffix letter on a $50 FRN. Referring to the Schwartz-Lindquist guide, you will see that the first $50 serial #23456789 wasn't printed until the 1950B series: B23456789A. It wasn't until the 1988 series $50 printing that the first #23456789B suffix ladder was printed. A total of only 6 serial #23456789B $50 ladders have ever been printed for all series 1928 to 2009. This big head non-colorized full up ladder $50 ladder is incredibly rare and in wonderful condition. This design has been discontinued, making it mighty tough to find another. Worth multiples of the lower denomination ladders that you have seen offered in the past. You are bidding on a $50 1996 FRN AG23456789B PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. It is our opinion that the high end of our estimate may one day prove a bargain. We should remind bidders that each of the $5, $10, $10, $20, $50, and $100 full ladder notes offered today are NOT specimen notes.

If you feel up to it, revisit our description for the $50 1969 New York star. It is just as apropos here. These 1969 star higher denomination FRNs are exceedingly difficult to acquire in top grades. This note is Top Pop at both services combined and it likely will stay that way for a long time. Huge margins, great centering and cavernous embossing make this look conservatively graded, even at the '66 EPQ' grade level.

The historical vignette of a Minuteman carrying a sword in hand makes this one of the most desirable of Colonial Currency issues. PCGS does note that the center split has been repaired and sewn together. Very few of these notes survive without any problems, ranging from minor to major and even falling apart.

A much scarcer early New Jersey issue, with a vast majority of the surviving notes high grade 30 shilling examples. Any of these lower denomination notes are rare with only two others seen at both grading services combined, both of which were also 'apparent' graded. There is mounting around the back edges from where this was in an album.

Lot #889 - Colonial Currency > New Jersey - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
NJ-178 6 Shillings March 25, 1776
A superbly margined Gem New Jersey colonial that looks significantly under graded at this level.

Lot #890 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
NY-130 10 Pounds March 25, 1755
The net grade is for splits and stains, neither of which is of any great consequence to the overall integrity of this piece. These early New York notes are so scarce and vastly underappreciated and undervalued. These always seem to sell for at least in the upper hundreds or more in comparable grade.
Grade: PMG Fine 15 Net   
Lot #891 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 350.00 - $ 550.00)
NY-154 10 Pounds April 15, 1758
A better early New York note that has splits, backing and tears. The signatures remain strong and the Coat of Arms well printed.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 15   
Lot #892 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 450.00 - $ 650.00)
NY-158 2 Pounds April 21, 1760
An example from a very rare early New York issue printed on thin paper by William Weyman, consisting of only three denominations. PCGS notes a litany of problems which is typical for this issue. Auction records are few and far between with apparent VF notes seeming to be top grade, and when those appear they sell in the upper hundreds of dollars.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 12   
Lot #893 - Colonial Currency > New York - ($ 475.00 - $ 625.00)
NY-182 2 Shillings January 6, 1776 Water Works
We aren't sure what PCGS saw here when they graded this but it certainly seems to have the margins and centering for some type of Gem grade.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64   
Lot #894 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
NC-69 40 Shillings April 4, 1748
Any VF 1748 Colonial is something to behold, no matter how many problems. There are splits and tears, tape repairs and redrawing.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20   
Lot #895 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
NC-124 20 Shillings April 23, 1761
This earlier Colonial note has everything you could want. It has paper as bright as if it were printed last night, boldly-accomplished signatures and enormous margins. Almost fully ornamented, a quality of which few North Carolina Colonials can boast. Top Pop at PMG since it is the only pre-1771 note they have graded on this available southern colony. They note minor repairs which for the life of us we cannot find and have serious misgivings about their existence. A wonderful Colonial destined for an advanced collection.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63 Net   
Lot #896 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
NC-162 $5 Thrush April 2, 1776
A minor repair is noted by PMG. The margins are huge, the thrush vignette is well detailed and the signatures remain legible and strong. This April 1776 issue is one of the most fascinating in all of Colonial currency. There are 56 distinct varieties with only two complete sets having been formed.
Grade: PMG VF 35   
Lot #897 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 1,750.00 - $ 3,250.00)
NC-176d $5 The Rising States August 8, 1778
A simply awesome example of this later North Carolina issue with neither service grading anything above this grade level. Scant few notes have even graded CU at both services across all denominations of this series. Evenly centered with bold signatures and Exceptional Paper Quality duly noted by PMG. The few that appear always break the thousand dollar threshold with ease and this should prove to be no exception.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ   
Lot #898 - Colonial Currency > North Carolina - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
NC-215 40 Shillings December 29, 1785
A rare late Colonial issue, with both services grading a total of 10 genuine notes for all denominations. The eye appeal is exceptional for the grade as it surely has a VF look to it. PCGS notes there are restorations and redrawing of signatures and design but the paper remains bright and the design at left of Justice holding scales in one hand and sword in the other is particularly well-detailed. Signed by Absalom Tatom and John Hunt. A highlight of the next collection it enters.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 15   
Lot #899 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
PA-124 10 Shillings June 18, 1764
Printed by B. Franklin and D. Hall 1764 is on the back, thereby making this an extremely popular issue. There are a whole genre of Ben Franklin notes with this being one. PCGS notes edge splits which are the usual center fold side splits. The signatures remain bold and the note is well-detailed. Far scarcer than the 20 shilling note that is so often encountered.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 15   
Lot #900 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
PA-143 10 Shillings March 10, 1769
A horizontal format note that is the variety with asterisk. The edge splits are small and the mounting remnants are minor. The technical grade belies how nice this note is compared to most we encounter.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 25   
Lot #901 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
PA-148 15 Shillings March 20, 1771
A much scarcer Pennsylvania series and always very attractive due to the red and black printing. PMG has net graded this from AU due to some repairs, which are merely sealing of center fold splits at each end.
Grade: PMG XF 45 Net   
Lot #902 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
PA-157 2 Shillings 6 Pence April 3, 1772 John Morton Signature
Signed by John Morton, signer of the Declaration of Independence. PCGS notes minor damage and small hole, neither of which affect his signature. We have seen low end VFs approach the thousand dollar mark recently.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20   
Lot #903 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
PA-181 3 Pence October 25, 1775
Well margined for only the '63 PPQ' grade and with everything about the paper quality giving the appearance of having just been cut from a sheet.
Grade: PCGS Ch. New 63 PPQ   
Lot #904 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
PA-224b 4 Pounds April 10, 1777 Red and Black
A note that seems to have AU detail which would explain why PMG net graded this note. The split repairs are at along the center fold and are really only visible when the note is candled. We have seen our fair share of these highest denomination notes but the eye appeal wielded by this piece transcends any technical grade you could conjure up. Gigantic margins, superb printing and signatures, and mountainous embossing all come together to make this one of the prettiest examples you will find. A denomination that is unknown in CU and likely to stay that way.
Grade: PMG Ch. XF 45 Net   
Lot #905 - Colonial Currency > Pennsylvania - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
PA-254 50 Shillings April 20, 1781
An extremely scarce high denomination note from this very challenging later Pennsylvania Colonial series. PCGS has noted a minor stain and a small edge split, with minor and small being the operative adjectives. Only two have been graded, both by PCGS. This note and a PCGS Apparent VF 25 that sold for over $700 a couple of years ago.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 30   
Lot #906 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
SC-138a December 23, 1776 $4 Fully Signed
PCGS notes some small rust stains but they are confined to the back of the note and not of much consequence. Fully signed and issued with a lot of detail for the grade.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 25   
Lot #907 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,200.00)
SC-142 $20 December 23, 1776 Fully Signed
A fully signed example of this most desirable denomination from this series. PMG has commented that it's been trimmed, which appears to be their assessment of the wavy right margin. In either event, worth in the upper hundreds in this grade.
Grade: PMG XF 40   
Lot #908 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
SC-145 2 Shillings 6 Pence April 10, 1778
Signed by Charles Pinckney, Jr, who was a signer of the United States Constitution, a Governor of South Carolina, a Senator and a member of the House of Representatives. He was a first cousin once removed of fellow signer Charles Cotesworth Pinckney. Huge margins and bright paper surfaces make this note appear sorely under graded. In our PCDA sale, we sold a virtually identical example, also in a PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ holder, for $1,410.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ   
Lot #909 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 450.00 - $ 650.00)
SC-146 3 Shillings 9 Pence April 10, 1778
A well signed and numbered example of this South Carolina issue that sure looks like it's at least Ch. CU. We simply cannot find any reason for the assigned grade unless the service mistook the upper corner watermark for a fold.
Grade: PCGS Ch. Abt. New 58   
Lot #910 - Colonial Currency > South Carolina - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
SC-158 $90 February 8, 1779
A pretty well margined example of this better Coram note denomination. PMG has listed previously mounted, tears, stain as the reason for the net grade. The detail appears to be that of an XF note.
Grade: PMG VF 25 Net   
Lot #911 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
VA-128 $6 October 20, 1777
A superb example for only the "64" grade. Bountiful margins are coupled with nearly perfect centering to give this note the look of a Gem. The heavy toning spots that are found in the paper of virtually all the notes from this issue are practically nonexistent. Between the two services, there have only been 17 CU notes graded across all denominations, with nothing better than the '64' no PQ level. A sensational note for any high-grade Colonial type set.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64   
Lot #912 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
VA-159 $7 October 5, 1778
A mere four examples have been graded at both services combined, with virtually all apparent/net graded VF notes like this one. Flagged by splits and tears by the grading service. The couple that we have seen sold in the upper hundreds of dollars a few years ago. This is a rare low denomination note from this Virginia Colonial issue.
Grade: PCGS Apparent VF 20   
Lot #913 - Colonial Currency > Virginia - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,200.00)
VA-208b March 1, 1781
PCGS notes a repaired edge tear and minor redrawing. Signed by Stark, Lyne and Hopkins and printed on thick laid paper. It faces up beautifully which would explain how it realized over $750 the last time it sold at auction.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Abt. New 55

Lot #915 - Continental Currency - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
CC-15 $5 November 29, 1775
A better Continental note with well executed signatures and a light degree of circulation. Hand Pricking Thorns vignette seen at left with bold dual nature leaf print on back. The most recent auction record we can find was this year; a PCGS AU 53 that sold for $558.13.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 50 EPQ   
Lot #916 - Continental Currency - ($ 1,750.00 - $ 3,250.00)
CC-20 $1/3 February 17, 1776
The red ink serial number as well as Taylor signature remain bold on this lightly circulated note. Due to its connection with the Fugio cent and the design elements suggested by Benjamin Franklin, this has always been one of the most popular notes in the entire realm of Continental/Colonial Currency collecting.
Grade: PMG Abt. UNC 53   
Lot #917 - Continental Currency - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)

Lot #919 - Continental Currency - ($ 350.00 - $ 550.00)
CC-63 $2 May 20, 1777
This is the lowest denomination of this "First United States" note. PCGS notes splits, tears, tape repair. A much better issue and denomination should make this note desirable to many.
Grade: PCGS Apparent Fine 15   
Lot #920 - Continental Currency - ($ 450.00 - $ 650.00)

Falls Village The Iron Bank $5 Remainder
In our PCDA sale we sold an identical PMG Gem CU 66 EPQ example of this bank and denomination for $634.50. This is about as high a grade as these are seen and it should be sought after by more than one obsolete collector.

Lot #925 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > Connecticut - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Hartford Empire Steam Laundry $1 Advertising Note
Such a cool piece of advertising scrip, dated from the Spanish-American War of 1898. PMG notes splits but we can see just one small one at upper right. The face states "AMERICAN NAVY" and "State of Patriotism" at the bottom. Portraits of Commodore Schley, Admiral Sampson, Commodore Watson, Admiral Dewey, Capt. Evans and Capt. Bigsbee. The "officers" listed at the bottom are Uncle Sam as Commander and Skill and Pluck as the Engineers. The back displays all the advertising information as well as a lengthy poem. We already mentioned that this is cool but it bears repeating.

Lot #927 - Obsolete Notes & Miscellaneous Items > District of Columbia - ($ 450.00 - $ 850.00)
Washington Mercantile Bank $2 Remainder
Haxby 270-G4. An 1860's remainder that is really very scarce at the CU grade level. A distinctive note with its use of a dual color printing, with green at the right end and a rust color at the left. The two lower denomination notes are seen with much greater frequency than is this $5 remainder. Fully framed and undeniably original and fresh.

Cr. 18. A gorgeous State of Florida note with central passenger train vignette and a bold red "TWO" protector at bottom.

A wildly popular Louisiana obsolete due to the word "DIX" seen on the back. Sailing ships and bold red inks add to the appeal of this type. Always worth many hundreds of dollars in Gem grade. Available enough in Ch. CU grades but Gems are a far tougher animal to tame.

Gray Central Bank $1
Haxby 345-G2. September 8, 1857. Quite a scarce note on this fraudulently organized bank. With far superior margins than what we typically see. A modicum of light folds do little to deter one from desiring to obtain this beauty. Liberty and Agriculture are seated at center holding a hammer and shield. Properly issued and really tough to find this nice.

Elkton Farmers & Mechanics Bank of Cecil County $10
Haxby 190-G10b. November 10, 1864. A rather busy wharf unloading scene is the central vignette of this much better red-tinted Civil War era note. These rarely seem to appear and this is probably one of the very nicest available.

Haxby 365-G78. An early Reed Proof with statehouse vignette at center. Black and white and printed on India paper only. Well embossed and with ample margins, giving the eye appeal one would want in a proof note. Not too many of these become available and this odd denomination $3 note should be welcomed with open arms by the winning bidder.

Full red tint with attractive outlining of the denomination with TWO twice at lower center and 2 at upper right. A few minor clips at the corners but the color overall is still outstanding.

Haxby 25-G76. A lovely Abner Reed proof and printed on India paper. A central shipping vignette gives one time to ponder the more relaxing times in life. Bright and pretty well margined with trace corner handling. Some stains seen on back but not overly burdensome. Roughly a half dozen or so known, with three of those on a proof sheet. Quite rare no matter how you look at it.

Lancaster White Mountain Bank $2
May 1, 1857. No. 3465. 160 G8a. Rawdon, Wright, Hatch and Edson. Santa Claus vignette top center, allegorical scene, left. Freight train at lower right. One of the most iconic vignette types for Obsolete collecting and these Lancaster notes are always a great way to illustrate the fine engraving work. This note like most others is heavily circulated and shows with repairs with the notable areas being the upper corners which have been replaced. PCGS mentions Repairs; Pieces Replaced; Hinges on Back in the comments section of the holder.

Lambertville New Hope Delaware Bridge Co. $1 Remainder
Haxby 280-G4. An enterprise that was organized in 1811, incorporated in 1812, and eventually closed in 1847. Chartered by both New Jersey and Pennsylvania since the bridge crosses the Delaware River to connect Lambertville, NJ and New Hope, PA. That bridge still operates today as your cataloger has taken it numerous times to New Hope and nearby Peddler's Village, two of the most charming places you could want to go. This Superb Gem remainder is the highest graded one we have seen.

Washington Bank of Washington $4 November 1, 1861
G-8a. November 1, 1861. This note is commonly found as a remainder, but is quite rare fully issued as this one. Beautiful central vignettes of Indians, maids, children and shield; George Washington at upper left; Martha Washington at lower right. Fully issued and dated, with nice pen signatures of M. Stevenson, Cashier, and James E. Hoyt, President. A lovely fully issued example of this popular denomination and type.

Germantown Bank of Germantown $1
January 15, 1862. No. 8336. 150 G8a. American Bank Note Company. A classic Polar Bear, note that along with Santa Claus, notes are among the most heavily desired obsolete notes. This offering, while well circulated, still retains nice appeal despite the grade. PCGS found no reason to attribute an apparent grade as the edge splits and stains are certainly acceptable at this level. Finer material escalates quickly in price so this example will afford the collector a nice opportunity without a record setting price.

Philadelphia Philadelphia City Savings Institution $1 June 26, 1837
Hoober 305-185(?). June 26, 1837. An extremely rare and in all likelihood unique note which may or may not be Hoober 305-185 as no photo nor description nor date is listed in that reference for this number. The note states that it is a Certificate of Deposite (sic) which will be received by the Philadelphia City Savings Institution at their office, 91 North Second Street. Wonderful pen signatures of John McClintock, Secretary and Joseph S. Riley,President. Easily the rarest Philadelphia bank note we have seen in some time.

Haxby 10-G20b. March 7, 1858. A really desirable note that is a closet rarity, especially for this denomination. A wonderfully tinted example with thickly-applied signatures and good margins. The only other recent record we can find was serial #74, also in a PCGS VF 25 holder, selling for $658. This note is prettier and has a lower two-digit serial number.

It is among the finest we are aware of and presents itself with bold red color and sharp detail of the vignettes at left, right and center.

T-23 $10 September 2, 1861
Certainly one of the better Confederate types and always desirable as an uncancelled note. PMG notes internal damage, thinning, and tape repairs, none of which seem to greatly affect the visual impact of this note. A relatively lower three-digit serial number adds some allure. While this won't sell for the $2,000-$3,000 that a decent VF would bring, it should certainly achieve a figure of half that amount.

The first time this sold was in a 2009 Heritage auction, during the throes of the Great Recession. Even then it realized over $400.

Very few contemporary counterfeits of this T-33 type make it to this Ch. CU grade level. It is a very convincing Upham counterfeit that would be worth a few thousand if genuine. This seems to have been graded with a conservative eye as it looks like a Gem to me. This same note sold for $300 back in 2012.

PCGS notes a small hole and some minor mounting remnants. These are more than compensated for by the unusually large margins seen on this T-37 note, as well as the circular Trans-Mississippi stamp. A more difficult type on which to find these desirable stamps.

T-41 $100 November 24, 1862
So many third-party graded notes leave you scratching your head trying to figure out what they were thinking; this is not one of those notes. It has earned every point of its Superb Gem grade due to its huge margins, superior centering and flawless paper. Of note is that it has the wayward "T" to the left of the central Hoer vignette. This is the highest graded example we have seen of this PF-26 note and it is easily worthy of the four-figure price that Superb Gems realize.

T-45 $1 June 2, 1862
For the grade level this is one of the more attractive examples we have seen. Although the top is trimmed, the other three margins are so broad as to offset that fact. Bright paper with bold green "ONE" protector adds to the allure of this Confederate Ace. With lower end XF examples selling in the upper hundreds of dollars, we would expect this example to reach at least half that figure.

Lot #996 - Confederate Notes - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
T-67 $20 February 17, 1864
A very unusual example of this common T-67 note with the back printing significantly misaligned to the point of being an error. We have checked auction records, Population Reports, etc., and are not finding much of any information about any others. A T-67 note in this near Gem grade commands a $100-$150 price tag on its own but in this case it will be worth much more.

Bright, perfectly centered and with boldly contrasted inks upon snowy white background. The hand-signed face specimen with both Colby and Spinner autographs is a screaming Gem, without the ink erosion that so often accompanies Spinner's autograph. The more desirable red back would easily grade superb if the left to right centering were a little more even. Green Sheet asking price on this gem pair is roughly $2,300, a figure that would not surprise us at all once the hammer falls.

Fr. 233 $1 1899 #B99999999A & B100000000A
This might surprise you, but the majority of the same block large size serial #99999999 and #100000000 were split up many years ago. Martin Gengerke's auction and fixed price list history of these high serial numbers, for all denominations and all series from the first ones printed in the 1899 Series to the last ones printed for the 1923 Series, you'll see that 21 pairs of serial #99999999/100000000 from the same block have been, at some point in time, sold either individually or as pairs; the majority were sold as individual notes. Some have been split up forever and some have been re-united. We believe that only the following nine matched block pairs are in private hands together: Fr. 36 $1 1918 LT A-A, Fr. 232 $1 1899 SC M-M, R-R, Fr. 233 $1 1899 SC B-A (offered here), Fr. 236 $1 1899 SC V-A, Fr. 237 $1 1923 SC Z-B and N-D and finally Fr. 871a $5 FRN G-A. So we're convinced that only four intact same block $1 1899 Silver Certificate pairs with serial #99999999 and #10000000 are in collections. How does one fairly price this pair? We know of only one other pair currently for sale from Jhon Cybuski. He is offering the $1 1899 Silver Certificate pair #V99999999A/#V100000000A pair at $72,500 on his website. Bidders will determine the final value of this pair, but we can assure you that you won't get another opportunity like this for quite some time.

The same research noted in the previous lot, tells us that for all denominations, all series of large size type notes, a total of 16 serial #100,000,000 notes have been transacted.

Based on research done by Martin Gengerke and Mike Abramson, we find the existence of these eight digit solid 9s Black Eagle notes: 99999999, B99999999, V99999999, B99999999B, M99999999M, N99999999N, R99999999R, U99999999U (also listed here), V99999999V (this note), X99999999X, B99999999A (also listed here), D99999999A, H99999999A, M99999999A, N99999999A, V99999999A. Most of these notes were publicly auctioned in raw condition, so there is no way to know for sure what the slabbed grade would be for the others. This note is graded PCGS 63 PPQ Ch. New, which likely puts it near the top of this list condition-wise. Having the chance to own three of the 13 examples of this serial number is an occasion that won't come along anytime soon.

Notes from this bank rarely turn up for sale, not surprising since this was the only issuing town in Pawnee County, and this was a large-only bank that was liquidated in 1915.

Homer, NB, 3186
While small size notes are somewhat more available on this Cortland County bank, large notes are an entirely different matter. A whopping six large are known with this being the second nicest of that elite group. It has ample margins with a modicum of folds to its credit. Whenever these do sell they always approach or easily transcend the four-figure threshold, as we would expect from the present example.

Lafargeville, First NB, 13365
This was the sole bank in this remote and tiny Jefferson County community. It issued mere pocket change circulation - a minuscule $36,000 over a six year period, and until a mediocre Fine note was sold in early 2010, was the last unreported bank/town in New York to issue Series 1929 notes exclusively. This wonderful new discovery is the bottom note from the first sheet of Type 2 $20s issued by the bank, clear proof that the #1 sheet is not socked away somewhere. The bank only issued 144 Type 2 $20s. In addition, the note is a real peach, a fresh and totally unmolested bright and crisp note that will be one of the highlights of the collection it now enters. As good as it gets for small size New York nationals.

Warren, NB, 4879
Only 132 banks bear the much scarcer Napier-Thompson signature combination and this is one of them. In 1913, this bank extended its charter for 20 years, thereby receiving this desirable signature combination. One of only a handful listed in the census as UNC and it's easy to see why. The most mundane of Third Charter notes in AU grade sell for $400-$500; this is not one of those.

Waynesboro, Citizens NB, 5832
In the Third Charter period, this Franklin County bank chose to issue only $5 Plain Backs. This example, which appears fully CU but for some faint corner handling, is one of the three to four nicest for this bank. PMG has given the dual comments Exceptional Paper Quality & Embossing.
