Lot #51634 - Small Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 35,000.00 - $ 60,000.00)
Fr. 1500 $1 1928 A-A Pack
United States Notes or Legal Tender Notes were first authorized by Congress on May 3, 1878 and that Act required that the amount of $346,681,106 be maintained. This note was the last $1 produced after the new smaller notes came on the market. Two dollar bills were discontinued in 1966 and $100 notes were issued to maintain the requirements of the Act. Here is an amazing, original and consecutive pack of 100 notes with serial #A01788501 to #A01788600A. Just as fresh and crisp as they were when printed.
Grade: Ch. to Gem CU

A very attractive example of a very scarce early Minneapolis star hundred. PMG has only graded five examples, three of which are at this same VF 30 grade level. PMG has given the comment "retouched" as part of their analysis of this piece. By all accounts this cryptic terminology has been removed from PMG's extensive linguistic repertoire but, being the wordsmiths that they are, your cataloger is supremely confident that there will be even more inane and utterly confusing wording used in the not-to-distant future.

Light green seal. Exceptional paper quality is the opinion of the graders. Certainly it's one of the very best light green seal notes which represents basically an even split between light and dark seal printings. I could find very few light green seal $1,000 Cleveland note ever reported; no Gems and just one other Choice. I believe this note, a new listing, should demand real money versus a conservative estimate.

Fort Smith, American NB, S3634
The original fort, for which the town was named, was established in 1817 and abandoned in 1824, by which time the town was thriving and survived. A second fort was established in 1838. Fort Smith is famous for U.S. District Judge Isaac Parker, more commonly known as "the hanging judge" for his eight death sentences in his first term, six of whom were hung on one day. This "Circus Poster" layout is the most famous and desirable of all the $5 Brown Back designs. This is an example of the first and most available version. The fact that there is only one note to represent Arkansas is a testament to the scarcity of Brown Backs on the state, with just 21 pieces of any denomination reported. Of those, 13 are $5's, with most from this bank. Only three other banks in the state have a $5 example reported and all those banks are scarce to rare in large size. This attractive example, with excellent pen signatures, is as nice as any from this bank. Group 4. Plate date 2/7/87.

Incorporated in 1858, Elkhart is the seat of Elkhart County. The town is named for the shape of the island in the river, which resembles an elk's heart. The railroad first came to the town in 1851, and in 1852 the first passenger train passed through the town. In 1889 Elkhart was the second city in the world to have an electric streetcar system. This new addition to the census increases the number of "Circus Posters" known on this bank to eight. That is still not enough for everyone who wants one.

This bank was chartered in 1871 and many of the 46 large notes recorded came from the early printing. I am not sure if no one liked them or they did and wanted to save them. There are eight $5 Brown Backs and only the Higgins Museum can boast a finer example. This note is pen signed by C.D. Ellis, President, from 1906 to 1929 and R.V.

Council Bluffs, Pacific NB, 1684
This is one of the top treasures in Iowa National Bank Notes. It is the only bank in Iowa that has the elusive short-lived Treasury officials, Noah L. Jeffries and Francis E. Spinner, together in office from October 5, 1867 to March 15, 1869. Their facsimile signatures appeared on National Bank Notes during that period. The bank president, the name appears to be Dodge, was a Civil War Major General and was the Chief Engineer for the Union Pacific construction of the Transcontinental Rail Road. Albert West was the cashier from 1868 to 1873. The bank was chartered in Des Moines and voluntarily liquidated in 1878. When this note circulated the eye on the prize was the Transcontinental Rail Road, with this bank and those individuals were in the midst of it all. Imagine that!

Augusta received its current name in 1797, but was not named the capital of Maine until 1827. Although it was technically the capital, the government still met in Portland until the completion of the new capitol building in 1832. Augusta was reorganized as a city in 1849. There are only a dozen Maine notes in the Power Collection, but every one is exceptional in some way. And this note is certainly exceptional. I believe this is the only bank in Maine to receive the "Circus Poster" layout, for I have never seen another. The bank is the rarest of the two available Augusta institutions, with two other banks unreported. The Kelly census has a serial number for another $5 Brown Back, but the listed grade is just Good.

In 1830, Ellicott Mills, the city's first designation, became the first terminus on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, a boon that would be integral in the town's survival. Ellicott City secured its charter in 1867 and was the only chartered town in the county, but it lost that charter in 1935. This is the earliest bank and only Maryland bank to receive the "Circus Poster" layout. An even dozen large notes are known, with three of them $5 Brown Backs.

Greenville is the seat of Washington County and is named for Revolutionary War hero Nathaniel Green. The city was burned during the Civil War, but was rebuilt into a major Mississippi River port. If one could have only one note from Mississippi, this "Circus Poster" would be at the top of my list. Only two of these exist according to Kelly and this is the finer of the two. The note was purchased for the Power Collection privately. The only record of a public sale was when the other note appeared on eBay in 2004. It sold then for $10,100, a sum that reflects the fact the several potential buyers were unaware that it was available. Signatures of A.B. Nance, Assistant Cashier and W.H. Negus, President. Group 4.

The quality of this note is original and the cut is virtually perfect. Pen signatures of John Straszer, President and E.J. Archinard, Cashier.

While small size notes on this town are found aplenty, large size pieces avail themselves reluctantly. The Second National was one of two banks in town that survived into the small size era. Cashier John M. Blakely came on in 1915 and Lester F. Thurber assumed the mantle of command in 1920. We sold a Fine in our 2011 PCDA sale for over $250.

Albuquerque, First NB, W2614
A new addition to the census of New Mexico National Bank Notes is this, the eighth $50 1882 Date Back to be reported. It appears the none of the known notes is better than this example with its clearly stamped purple signatures. The note bears the date of January 6, 1912 which coincides with the admission to the Union as our 47th state. The overall paper quality is good although the margins could be just a touch more equal, top to bottom. We sold a similar note in 2016 at $7,050 and who knows when the next opportunity will arise. There is likely an interesting story behind the need for these high denomination notes over 100 years ago.

Great Neck Station, First NB of Great Neck, 12659
A serial #3 example of this immensely popular Nassau County bank. Third Charter Fives only for this short-lived bank that operated from 1925 until liquidation in 1931. Wide side margins and boldly penned signatures only add to its visual appeal. The Great Neck Station was originally constructed by the New York and Flushing Rail Road in 1866. A scarce note with only 20 large known and from one of the most heavily collected counties in the country. Twenty years ago we had the pleasure of selling an AU serial #1 example from the bank. The present offering, with its low serial number, is the second most desirable note on the bank. This same piece sold for $3,360 in a 2017 sale.

Manhasset, First NB, 11924
A dozen large size notes are enumerated in the National Bank Note Census, all of which are $5 Plain Backs. This Nassau County institution opened in 1921 and which ceased operations in 1935 when the national banking era came to a close. A paltry $355 in large notes remained outstanding at that time. Bold stamped signatures, plentiful margins, and bright paper surfaces validate PMG's Exceptional Paper Quality designation. In the past decade, we have seen lightly circulated examples sell for as much as $4,000. After doing some research we have concluded that this is the finest large size example known and it should make our estimate look conservative by the time the hammer falls. The new owner of this note and the Great Neck Station note can lay claim to bragging rights out on the Island.

A large-only bank that produced First Charters and Brown Backs. While this is not a scarce bank, this note has as much eye appeal as one could hope for at just about any circulated grade level. Huge margins, bold printing, and vivid color is perhaps only outdone by the clarity of the signatures (PMG has commented nice signatures on the back). A really choice Ace that is listed as XF in the census.

A large-only Port Henry bank that closed its doors and merged with its neighbor, the Citizens National Bank. An utterly stunning piece that bears the cashier's vanity signature. This note is listed as UNC in the census and, in terms of eye appeal, that does not seem like much of a stretch. The old CAA first sold this note over 20 years ago for a little over $1,000. The last example to sell in the market place was sold by Heritage (also known as the new CAA). That piece was in a PCGS XF 45 holder and it realized close to $3,000 after spirited bidding almost two years ago. We expect more fireworks here in order to obtain it.

This Mifflin County bank spanned the entire national banking era from 1865 to 1935. There are several serial number #1 examples listed in the census but, after perusing the census and auction records, this is in all likelihood the finest known. An exceptional note with dead-on centering and punch through embossing. The other Type 1 serial number one notes that have sold were a PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ that realized $1,500 and a raw AU/UNC that sold in the range of $1,200 to $5,000. This is a great note no matter how you look at it.

Of the two dozen pieces listed in the National Bank Note Census, this is the only one listed as UNC. Even though PMG has rightly called it AU, it is certainly one of the couple nicest examples for this charter. As a nice AU Brown Back it is worth $1,000 or so. As a rare AU Brown Back it is worth so much more.

This note bears the much scarcer Napier-Thompson signature combination. When the bank extended its charter for twenty years in 1913, its notes were given this scarce signature combination. Only 132 charter numbers have notes containing this combo. Nice printed signatures of bank officers R.W. Mackay and F.E. Hertzel are seen. The Warren National Bank was the last of the three banks in town to qualify for its federal charter. A check of the census shows that this is one of the five nicest large size known.

A lovely example of this very popular even thousand charter number. Wide top sheet selvage reveals "A.D.W." as well as a guideline marker and the date 1901. The "1902" at the top of this Plain Back uncut sheet tells us that these notes have a "1902" face, i.e. "deposited with the" instead of the "or other securities" phrase found on Third Charter Date Backs. This is the second title of the bank which was changed in 1923. A peachy example that is visually flawless.

Rock Hill, First NB, 3616
Plate date January 11, 1887. Rock Hill was founded when the post office opened in 1852, shortly after the first passenger train arrived, but it was not incorporated until 1870. This bank was chartered on January 11, 1887 and was liquidated on August 31, 1898, just 11 years later. They issued just 3,706 sheets of $5 Brown Backs. Notes were unknown until this example appeared. All notes are circus posters, or that is what I think. This note has pen signatures of W.L. Roddey, President and J.H. Miller, Cashier.

Canton, First NB, 2830
Canton is the seat of Lincoln County and was home to the Canton Indian insane Asylum, the only 'Institution for Insane Indians' in the United States. Congress passed the bill creating it in 1898, and it was open to receive patients in 1903. Most of the inmates were not mentally ill, being incarcerated for alcoholism, opposing government interests, or simply being culturally misunderstood. The asylum was closed in 1934, after a 1927 inquiry by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which determined that many of the inmates showed no signs of mental illness. At least 121 of the 350 Indians detained there died from deplorable living conditions. I'm not aware of any other South Dakota bank that issued a "Circus Poster". This example is new to the market, and although it has undergone some professional restoration, it is still a desirable note. There is one other "Circus Poster" known on the bank. However, there are simply not enough of these from the whole country to satisfy all the collectors that wish to own one of these imaginative designs. Group 4. Plate date 11/2/89.

Montpelier, First NB, 748
Montpelier is the capitol of Vermont and the seat of Washington County. It was chartered in 1781 and named after Montpellier in France, as there was a great sense of gratitude toward the French after the Revolutionary War. The timber industry was one of the chief focuses of the town in the 19th century, as well as granite. In this century, Montpelier is not only the smallest capital city by population, but is also the only state capital without a McDonald's franchise. An available bank with no finer $5 Brown Back. Group 4. Plate date December 23, 1884.

While there are just less than 30 small size notes known on the bank, there is a small serial number grouping of CU examples that accounts for most of that group. With that in mind, we only know of one other Gem and that note, also a PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ, sold for over $1,300 in 2018. The consecutive note to this one, graded PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ, topped the $600 figure a half dozen years ago. This special note has all the characteristics that one would look for in a Gem national. A real stud.

Not a scarce Petersburg bank but always popular due to the town's association with the Civil War. The officers are Benj. T. Kinsey and G.C. Wright. Somewhat surprisingly a nice nearly XF note on this bank likely makes it one of the few finest known. In the past several years we have sold a couple of VFs and they realized between $400-$600 each.

Quincy, First NB, 9102 Trial Print
This specimen, mock-up proof or whatever term fits, this is a sample of a $5 1902-1908 Date Back and it is without the charter #9102, serial numbers and seal. Why this bank is my question? Maybe a family member named Quincy or a founder but regardless a rarity as all other denominations were from elsewhere. This bank itself paid for 689 sheets between 1908-1913. No facts can dispute this as a truly historic rarity, with further discoveries very unlikely at best. PCGS notes: mounted on cardstock.

A baker's dozen known in large size for this better Ashland County bank. The National Bank Note Census shows thirteen $100 1902 Plain Backs for the entire state, concentrated within three banks. In the past decade we have only sold two large hundreds on this bank, both were XF and both sold for an average of $5,000 each. These are always multi-thousand dollar notes in any respectable state of preservation. A great note that is returning to us after a 30 year hiatus.

Green Bay, Citizens NB, M3884
Green Bay is the seat of Brown County at the mouth of the Fox River and the head of the Bay of Green Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan. The area's first fort was built in 1717, followed in 1754 by the incorporation of the town, which passed to British control in 1761. The town joined the United States in 1783. The town was reincorporated as a city in 1854, with the railroads first arriving in the 1860's. Green Bay is the home of the National Railroad Museum. With just 46 banks receiving the "Circus Poster" layout, this second example puts Wisconsin over its fair share. This is a lovely note with huge margins and great pen signatures. A small corner tip has been professionally restored, so well that it is impossible to see that anything was done. Three notes are in the census, all graded Fine. However, I suspect this note was net graded, because it is better than a Fine, even without a corner. From the Bob Steele collection of Wisconsin Nationals. Second seal. Group 4. Plate date 5/17/88. PMG notes: minor restoration.
