The Dean Oakes Collection > The Dean Oakes Collection - Session 1: Large Size Type Notes

Lot #1 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 25,000.00 - $ 50,000.00)
Fr. 1a $5 1861 New York
Here is one of America's earliest banknotes, the New York Demand note with clear and hand-signed signatures of S.P. Hill - Treasurer of the United States and F.A. Reeve - Register of the Treasury and the "for the" is very clear. The census indicates 10 records including this note which is the earliest serial number listed. There are no sales or offerings since 2021 when a PCGS VF 25 realized $50,400. There have been three different examples offered in twelve years. This note has an excellent appearance and the normal circulation allows the quality to show through any comments. PMG notes minor restoration.
Grade: PMG Ch. Fine 15

Lot #2 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 20,000.00)
Fr. 3 $5 1861 Boston
A lovely Boston $5 demand note that has problem-free circulation with great color, centering and wonderful officers signatures. Unbelievably there are 123 reported which includes this note. Research records indicate an auction price of $26,400 for a 35 EPQ recently or an apparent 35 for $13,200 earlier this year. Small spot on portrait.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #3 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 6,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Fr. 4 $5 1861 Cincinnati
Cincinnati demand notes are as rare as any with only seven $5's recorded. This note is quite well used and graded Fine 12 with tape repairs noted. No doubt Dean enjoyed the rarity and cute serial number #11311. It reads in the census like there are 12 reported but only seven have real serials. Do you know why? These are truly rare.
Grade: PMG Fine 12

Lot #4 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 6,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Fr. 5 $5 1961 St. Louis
There are only 13 reported for this ultra scarce $5 St. Louis demand note and the last seven sold all show to have issues. This note has better quality than would be expected, but some pinholes are present. Likely from storage rather than pin related natural wear. It has been a minute since any were offered. Excellent officer signatures.
Grade: Fine

Lot #5 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 20,000.00)
Fr. 7 $10 1861 Philadelphia
A great example of a $10 Demand Note and only three of the 50 reported are as fine. This is a lovely note with great color and paper quality with excellent pen signatures. Worse examples often have issues but not this one.
Grade: PMG VF 30

Lot #6 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 8 $10 1861 Boston
There are only 43 $10 demand notes known. This example is an evenly circulated with a small brown spot that may also be a small paper pull. Holder shows Lot 8 W/10 on the sticker. Rarely more than two a year appear in all grades.
Grade: Fine

Lot #7 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 50,000.00 - $ 100,000.00)
Fr. 11 $20 1861 New York
This $20 Demand Note is often considered the rarest of type notes issued by the U.S. There are only eight example reported and the last offered in 2020. This note came from CAA in 6/94. This note looks pretty nice for the grade and the "restoration" that is noted is very difficult to decipher from any other wear without a black light.
Grade: PMG Ch. Fine 15

Lot #8 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,250.00)
Fr. 17c $1 1862
A gorgeous series 201 with serial #10. Fresh, well-centered and quite desirable. Obviously much scarcer than the common varieties.
Grade: XF/AU PPQ

Lot #9 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 18 $1 1869
This beautiful 1869 Rainbow ace appeared to me to be a 64, but I am at a loss to understand the 55 EPQ grade. An amazing example from Dr. Howard Carter and the Oat Bin Hoard. Worthy of a strong bid.
Grade: PMG AU 55 EPQ

Lot #10 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 27 $1 1878

Fr. 30 $1 1880

Lot #15 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)

Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ

Lot #16 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 600.00)
Fr. 37 $1 1917
A pleasing $1 1917 legal tender with great originality but less than Gem margins.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ

Lot #17 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 38* $1 1917
There are 32 records for the Fr. 38* and only two others have UNC listings. One was a CGA 66 and the other consecutive to this and I think this is the finest of all reported.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63

Lot #18 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,400.00)
Fr. 39 $1 1917
A lovely high end Gem that is difficult to find as the margins before cutting were small. Truly a Gem in every Way.
Grade: PCGS Gem New 66 PPQ

Lot #19 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 125.00 - $ 250.00)
Fr. 39 $1 1917
This grade looks very harsh as the note is quite nice.
Grade: PMG VF 30

Lot #20 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 40* $1 1923
Great bright twinkling red seal with a four digit serial. Fresh and original and very close to Gem.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64 PPQ

Lot #21 - Error Notes > Large Size Legal Tender Issues - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923 Error
Fr. 40 $1 1923
An amazing massive error that shifted the printing over the serial number. This is fresh and crispy but it has a couple of bends.
Grade: XF

Lot #22 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
Great low even #A100B that is well centered with some minor handling.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #23 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 600.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
Look at all those 2's on this red seal Fr. 40. Great color and serial with what appears to be a faint bend.
Grade: PCGS Ch Abt. New 58 PPQ

Lot #24 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923

Lot #25 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 500.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 40 $1 1923
A very attractive $1 legal tender with great centering and color. Sure looks great for the grade.
Grade: PMG AU 53

Lot #26 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 8,000.00)
Fr. 41 $2 1862
Check out this deuce and it's serial #11118. A perfect note for anyone enthused by serial numbers. The margins are quite adequate for an UNC but they are a bit tilted.
Grade: PMG AU 58 EPQ

Lot #27 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 8,000.00)
Fr. 41 $2 1862
It is quite surprising to know there are 126 notes reported for this first style deuce. This example shows EPQ quality but the cut is not perfect but quite acceptable for your type set. The census shows there may have been a group of high grade notes within this pack range. Series 133.
Grade: PMG AU 53 EPQ

Lot #28 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 52 $2 1880
A sharp well-centered large brown seal deuce. PMG notes minor stain, pinhole.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64

Lot #29 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 54 $2 1880
This is a rare new addition to the census for this rare and desirable deuce with the large brown seal. This is probably the seventh-tenth finest recorded. There is some dirt on the back and edges but the paper, body and color are all great. Looks like it has been stored for over 100 years which I expect it has.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #30 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 57* $2 1917
There are 75 stars reported for this Teehee-Burke signature combination. A lovely fresh note that I expected to grade a 64 but PMG chose a BRUTAL AU 50. From the Stack's September 1992 sale.
Grade: PMG AU 50

Lot #31 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 57 $2 1917
Comments say minor mounting remnants on the back and there are some wrinkles instead.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64

Lot #32 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 57 $2 1917
Comments say minor mounting remnants on back on what appears to be a well centered UNC example of this issue.

Fr. 58 $2 1917

Lot #34 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 58* $2 1917
Star notes are seldom seen on $2 Legal Tenders and for this signature combination I find 69 reported. Only a few of those are UNC's and not many others this pretty.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #35 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 60 $2 1917
This is a cut sheet of 4; position E, F, G, H. There is a broad center bend on the 48. Fresh and original.
Grade: CU

Lot #36 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 61 $5 1862
This is the very scarce and seldom encountered Fr. 61 without series. This was plate 9 and was originally discovered by me in the Davenport Bank hoard. This note is as found in a 100 piece strapped pack dated 1871. Unfortunately I found no study to weed out the incorrectly identified examples. A few pinholes and two tiny splits.
Grade: Fine

Lot #37 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 64 $5 1869
A pretty rainbow $5 legal tender from 1869 that has extra margin on the top and a closer bottom, hence the grade.
Grade: PCGS Ch New 63 PPQ

Lot #38 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 6,500.00)
Fr. 64 $5 1869
A lovely rainbow $5 from 1869 that appears to have UNC quality but the centering is a bit high on the back. I might have graded this a '63' if I were asked.
Grade: PCGS Ch. About New 58 PPQ

Lot #39 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 64 $5 1869
Nice UNC pioneer rainbow five cut a bit low on the left but it is bright, fresh and desirable. Well embossed and exceptional color.

Fr. 79 $5 1880
A much scarcer 1880 pioneer family with blue serial number. The small red seal only has 137 reported. This is a pretty lipstick red seal with excellent paper quality.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64

Lot #44 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 83 $5 1907
This is the eighth note printed for the series of pioneer families. Last year serial #6 realized $7200 as a 66. This note shows slight bleed through. PMG notes annotation.
Grade: PMG AU 55

Lot #45 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,250.00)
Fr. 85 $5 1907

From RM Smythe 6/17/05 sale and it is one of only fourteen reported. A very tough pioneer star with slight wallet stains.
Grade: VF+

Lot #48 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 1,500.00)
Fr. 91 $5 1907
A lovely consecutive pair of $5 family dog notes with exceptional color but average margins.
Grade: PCGS Ch. About New 58

Lot #49 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 6,000.00 - $ 9,000.00)
Fr. 95b $10 1863
This is the second design for this 1863 legal tender with great color and originality. This paper lent itself to edge bumps but this grade seems as conservative as possible. A great opportunity. This was part of the Dr. Carter Collection.
Grade: PMG AU 55 EPQ

Lot #50 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 6,000.00 - $ 9,000.00)
Fr. 96 $10 1869
A beautiful original $10 1869 Rainbow with great color, originality and paper quality. This is so fresh but the centering is a bit high. Super note for the grade.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63 EPQ

Lot #51 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 99 $10 1878
This note is from the Davenport bank Hoard and disappeared in the mid-nineties. Dean had the chance to pick from the deal after I acquired it. This note is completely original to its acquisition date for it's new owner. The charter I thought these were saved from was Davenport NB which closed in 1901, but I have never been sure. This note has rounded corners and handling but does not appear to have been circulated. There are many nice 1878 jackass notes but this one is different.
Grade: AU/UNC

Lot #52 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 100 $10 1880
There are 103 reported for this large brown seal Jackass with excellent paper quality.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64 EPQ

Lot #53 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,400.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 108 $10 1880
The census indicates 143 examples reported and while it is a gorgeous example with great color, the bottom is a bit tight for Gem.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63 EPQ

Lot #54 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 110 $10 1880
There are 170 reported and of these over 60% are shown as UNC. This is a lovely fresh small red seal with blue serial. A sharp "jackass" variety.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64

Lot #55 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 110 $10 1880
A beautiful choice jackass with blue serials and the small red seal.
Grade: PCGS Very Ch. New 64

Lot #56 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 110 $10 1880
A lovely and fresh original small red seal Jackass with an excellent overall appearance and very close to new.
Grade: PMG Ch. AU 58 EPQ

Lot #57 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 114 $10 1901
This is a fantastic example of the first signature combination on the buffalo and it is fresh, original and well embossed with nearly perfect centering. Possible residue from a mount is visible.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #58 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 121m* $10 1901
There are 46 Buffalo stars that are Elliott-White signatures. I expect the paper quality, centering and color will enhance the price of this star.
Grade: VF+

Lot #59 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 122* $10 1901
There are 63 stars reported with this signature combination. That's about 1.5% of all known examples. Some might call this a "20" but the fact is it's a nice premium example for the grade. PCGS notes small repaired edge tear at top left center.
Grade: PCGS Fine 15

Lot #60 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 75,000.00 - $ 150,000.00)
Fr. 123* $10 1923
This is the finest Fr. 123* known to exist with only three confirmed and a fourth rumored. The entire printing for this issue was 696,000, so I believe there was little need for replacements. In 2006 a Fine 12 realized $83,375 and was resold by me in 2015 for $82,250. This note came through Stack's September 1992 sale as lot 961 for $8,500. A remarkable rarity.
Grade: PMG VF 35

Lot #61 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 8,000.00 - $ 14,000.00)
Fr. 123 $10 1923
This wonderful poker chip back is from the last 1000 printed. This is a lovely Jackson $10 with exceptional color and amazing originality. I can't find any signs of circulation, yet the centering would never allow a Gem grade. This should fit nicely into any collection.
Grade: PMG Ch. AU 58 EPQ

Lot #62 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 123 $10 1923
This note looks much higher grade than PMG thinks but that happens. There is some handling but signs of circulation are less visible. Certainly a very attractive $10 Jackson sawbuck.
Grade: PMG XF 40

Lot #63 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 7,500.00)
Fr. 123 $10 1923
This Jackson $10 has the appearance of an AU with the horizontal fold faintly across the face and a center fold. Tough to find better for the grade.
Grade: PMG Ch. VF 35

Lot #64 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 6,500.00)
Fr. 123 $10 1923
A lovely circulated Jackson $10 saw back with excellent paper quality and centering.
Grade: PMG VF 30 EPQ

Lot #65 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 123 $10 1923
This is a pleasing circulated Jackson sawbuck with excellent body for the grade and nicely centered as well.
Grade: PMG VF 25

Lot #66 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 7,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 126b $20 1863
The $20 1863 legal tender has long been a favorite partly because decades ago we would see high quality examples with flaws on the edges, but not this note. It has spectacular color and centering and certainly the appearance of an UNC note. There are 178 reported and most in this serial range are called UNC in some range. PMG notes restoration. Cool radar serial #41714
Grade: PMG AU 50

Lot #67 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 8,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Fr. 128 $20 1875
I was quite surprised that this super high grade scarce type was not called UNC but rather a 58. This is the very scarce 1875 series with only 67 examples reported. Earlier this year Heritage sold a 66 only 20 serials away for $14,400. This has a pedigree back to Grinnell and Donlon #117.
Grade: PMG Ch. AU 58

Lot #68 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 8,000.00)
Fr. 129 $20 1878
A gorgeous example of this 1878 legal tender that has 216 serials reported. This one has a beautiful strong blue color, big margins and great embossing. I graded this Gem when Dean acquired it from me.
Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #69 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 7,000.00)
Fr. 132 $20 1880
This is large brown seal Bruce-Wyman combo with blue serial number. There are only 65 reported with no evidence of a group saved with only 5-6 in comparable comment-free or nicer grade.
Grade: PMG AU 50

Lot #70 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,250.00 - $ 2,500.00)
Fr. 135 $20 1880
This was a very elusive variety until a pack or more were found in a bank vault. Before that these were really tough. Rosencrans-Hyatt large red seal no spikes. Several auction labels are on the original holder. This faces up like an UNC but two folds are visible on the back.
Grade: XF/AU

Lot #71 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 140 $20 1880
I love this series because the centering is always lovely. 109 examples are reported with others being in the grade range.
Grade: PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ

Lot #72 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 700.00 - $ 1,200.00)
Fr. 145 $20 1880
This is a scarce signature combination for this series. There are 94 reported and this is a pleasing circulated example that seems slightly underrated.
Grade: PMG VF 25

Lot #73 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 147m* $20 1880
There are only 14 stars recorded on this historically seldom seen note. Even circulation on this example. John Burke back plate #50. PMG notes "stains lightened".
Grade: PMG VF 20

Lot #74 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)
Fr. 147* $20 1880
This note appears lovely on the face but a large stain on back hurts the appearance. If the stains are removed this would likely be the finest known star. From the Stack's 1992 sale.
Grade: VF

Lot #75 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 35,000.00 - $ 50,000.00)
Fr. 151 $50 1869
This 1869 $50 Rainbow legal tender with Henry Clay is one of the most desirable of all US type notes. Today there are 72 examples reported. I did not see a reason before grading or now that PMG notes minor restoration, so consider that when bidding or evaluating. Great color, paper and centering is what you get here.
Grade: PMG VF 25

Lot #76 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 6,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Fr. 162 $50 1880
This lovely unmolested $50 small red seal is one of 26 recorded with the TIllman-Morgan signature. This is one of the best as the finest known is a 55. A problem free 30 just realized $11,400 in 8/25. There are few notes available with over a century of history.
Grade: VF+

Lot #77 - Large Size Type Notes > Legal Tender - ($ 120,000.00 - $ 180,000.00)
Fr. 168 $100 1869
I love fresh original unmolested notes but Dean always searched them out. He was always in favor of leaving notes original and his impressed that on me during and after the incredible demand around 1980. This is one of the most elusive of those in the Rainbow series as there are only 27 recorded. This shows a grade in T&P of "50" but based on everything within the submission I expect a 30/35 with some comments because I see five pinholes which should be noted for accuracy. Some time ago I saw several of the $100's severely impaired and almost beyond fixing but they now have been and can now poorly influence perception of the rarity of the rainbow type. A beautiful raw note accurately described and ready for your collection to be enjoyed. A PMG 45 (reconstruction) realized $192k in 4/25. It was graded 45 PPQ by PCGS in 2011 and realized $126,500.

This type and denomination seem to be hot property with recent sales of a PMG VF 35 for $27,600 and a 30 for $24,000 in the last two years. This is listed in the census as a 40 but that seems optimistic. To me it has the appearance of a 30. Everything indicates a bid of $25-$30k would be needed to acquire this beautiful example.

Lot #79 - Large Size Type Notes > Compound Interest Treasury Notes - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 190 $10 June 10, 1864
These were legal tender circulating notes that bore interest every six months for three years paid semi-annually. I wonder how you got the interest? Unfortunately, as pretty as it must have been at issue, the gold embossed overprint was a big mistake because the ink and paper were not compatible and time has affected many of this type. This note is one of only 15 reported with this date and the quality seems similar to the others. The paper has excellent color and body, but there is a small rust spot and two tiny pieces of tape as well as a couple of tiny splits either on edge or internal. The last offered was in 2021 as a PMG VF 20 with splits repaired. I would suggest restoration could be best for the future of this rarity.

This interest bearing note may be one of the rarest of all types of US issues. These notes were printed by the BEP and they bore a 5% interest payable on redemption so any that remain were not redeemed, so the rarity makes perfect sense. This note has had a small corner restoration on the upper right and a small ink spot on the back along with the initials "WBB" and a date that I am a bit unsure of. Could be something from the interest payment. 31 are reported and this note has a very desirable look. In 2024 two were sold. No doubt this this "middle of the book" note will be well received.

The Seward $50 1891 Treasury Note is a one of a type example as it is the only $50 Treasury note issued. The census indicates the first seven notes were saved and possibly the last note as well. While I am not sure which are in institutions, they are known and generally in high grade. Dean's note is about the next best and while it was graded UNC in the 70's, I remember it was less than UNC. A wonderful example that has been trimmed by someone more than half a century ago. As for the minor repairs, under black light it appears to be a spindle hole repair on the collar and some light corner work. From the Connecticut Historical Society and M.

There is a slightly rounded bottom left corner with some dirt on the back and a couple of tiny splits but great seal color. This is an amazing chance to get a previously unreported pedigreed rarity.

This Chicago $20 FRBN is in my opinion the most desirable examples of Federal Reserve Bank Notes known as there are 38 reported and 19 of those seem to be UNC. No doubt there are no other districts with such a group. If you let this one pass, it could be awhile to get one as nice.

Fr. 831 $50 1914 St. Louis
This St. Louis $50 was the only district to issue this high denomination and currently this appears to be the 54th reported and it is from the Herman Halpern Collection. Stack's March 1993 graded this a 63 and why PMG called it a 50 is beyond me. History says William Philpott (Mr. Phil) had most of these and may have touched this along the way. Wonderful low serial #H649A with excellent color, body and centering. Finding better will be difficult at best.

Looks UNC on the face but has several folds and some dirt on the back. So cool with the #H11A. Acquired 05/02. There are 64 reported for this $5 St. Louis red seal but only two low numbers are listed. The #H1A and this #H11A and both have circulation making me think the other low serials were not kept aside. There are no records reported that shows UNC's or other serials above elsewhere.

Fr. 840a $5 1914RS Minneapolis
Great low serial #I207A. An early example with a center fold. The only other low serial is the #1 but was never offered as far as I can see. This is like so many Minneapolis red seal notes as they were not well stored and it shows. This example does just barely. The note is centered a bit low as the top left shows a design line error or error not.

Fr. 841a $5 1914RS Kansas City
Holder identifies as item 4140. Super low #J15A. There are only 75 reported for this Kansas City $5 and very few appear to be this quality. A pretty red seal with great color and originality adding to the low serial number. A J22A in 53 EPQ realized $4,320 in 2023. I am sure this is nicer.

This Boston $5 is the only interesting serial number from the 240 reported. T&P has a grade reference of 63 and this note faces up that well, but it does show evidence of a fold and some handling. Maybe a "50" makes more sense at least to me. Hard to evaluate with no history, but very desirable.

Lot #220 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 150.00 - $ 300.00)
Fr. 928 $10 1914BS Chicago
This note looked better than it does now, so why did I grade it? I still think this is better than a 35.
Grade: PMG Ch. VF 35

Lot #221 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 500.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 930* $10 1914BS Chicago

Lot #224 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 7,500.00 - $ 15,000.00)
Fr. 952b $20 1914RS Boston
A real rarity with only six reported and this is better than all but possibly one which is a PMG 40. This is a beautiful and unmolested VF/XF with great color and originality. It will no doubt be a fraction of the craziest red seal market ever at the Tom Flynn sale when it realized $138k and dropped to $49,937 just five years later. This was part of lot 769 (where or when, I am not sure) as a two piece lot.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #225 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 953b $20 1914RS New York
I was surprised this beauty was only graded 63 EPQ as I thought it had Gem appearance but they did not. Was lot 450 previously somewhere.
Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 63 EPQ

Lot #226 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 700.00 - $ 1,000.00)
Fr. 954a $20 1914RS Philadelphia
Both varieties from Philadelphia are scarce with only 20 of this variety reported. A nice, evenly circulated note that is well centered and has great color. Ex-Rickey Collection. From the LKCA November 2007 Sale where it realized nearly $1,100.

Lot #227 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 955b $20 1914RS Cleveland

Lot #228 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 5,000.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 956a $20 1914RS Richmond
This was last offered by Christies as lot #173 on September 13, 1991 and it is not in the census but there is only one example listed as 50 of the 22 reported. It is a fresh, well-centered crisp beauty that was put away decades ago.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #229 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 957a $20 1914RS Atlanta
This came from Glen Jorde likely from the J. Duda estate. Listed as four known when acquired and that remains to this day. This note represents the scarcest of all the red seals in this collection (as I try to go in order) and while it has some wear, it has good centering, color and even circulation for the grade. Acquired for $1,500 around 2001.
Grade: F/VF

Lot #230 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 900.00 - $ 1,500.00)

Fr. 959a $20 1914RS St. Louis

Lot #232 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 1,500.00 - $ 3,000.00)

This scarce and lovely example came from our old friend Jerry Briggs back many years ago. There are 43 examples reported and this one has great centering and nice color with a little toning on the edge.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #233 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 750.00 - $ 1,250.00)
Fr. 961a $20 1914RS Kansas City
A pleasing circulated red seal with at least five minor pinholes and a corner bite. This appears to be a purchase from Emporium C&C with 33 reported.

Fr. 962a $20 1914RS Dallas

Grade: VF+

Lot #235 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 6,500.00)
Fr. 963b $20 1914RS San Francisco
There are only 14 reported for this last San Francisco variety and a PMG 35 realized $6300 in January of this year. I see the color, freshness and originality equally in this note that came from Briggs Currency back then.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #236 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 1,000.00 - $ 2,000.00)
Fr. 979 $20 1914BS Cleveland
A pretty fresh and original Cleveland $20. Probably a little tight for Gem along the bottom right. Acquired 6/02.
Grade: Ch. CU

Lot #237 - Error Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 982 $20 1914BS Richmond Error
Fr. 982 $20 1914BS Richmond
Twenty bucks was a lot money to put away on an error note back when they were saved. The back has a dramatic shift and while the note appears virtually UNC, it is a bit of an AU as it has folds and a spot. Grade is far from the most important part of this opportunity.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #238 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 984* $20 1914BS Atlanta
This is the second finest known star from the Burke-McAdoo signature combo with 19 notes reported. We sold a "61" grade for $4700 a decade ago. This is so fresh, well centered and pretty.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #239 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 1,750.00 - $ 2,750.00)
Fr. 985a $20 1914RS Chicago

Grade: AU

Lot #240 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 800.00 - $ 1,400.00)
Fr. 990 $20 1914 Chicago

Grade: PMG Ch. UNC 64

Lot #241 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 1004* $20 1914BS Dallas
There are 16 star notes reported from this $20 FRN from Dallas. It has flaws along the edges with some rust spots. Decent appearance.
Grade: VF

Lot #242 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 7,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Fr. 1012b $50 1914RS Boston
$50 red seal Federal Reserve Notes are very scarce and rare in many cases and only one of the six known is purported to be as lovely as this note which looks like a 40, but I suppose it could be a 35. Great color and centering with some teller counting at right. This type is so elusive it is rare to find comps but a PCGS 35 PPQ realized $7,800 in January 2025 offered by HA.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #243 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 1013a $50 1914RS New York

Grade: VF

Lot #244 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 8,500.00)
Fr. 1014b $50 1914RS Philadelphia
Records indicate 12 examples reported. Previously offered as lot #609, this has not been listed so that brings us to 13. A pleasing VF that is likely 25 with pinholes. I see four offerings in twelve years.
Grade: VF

Lot #245 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 1015b $50 1914RS Cleveland
This was part of the Davenport hoard and it could use some professional clean up. This note is new to the census and it has strong red ink with an interesting serial #18080.
Grade: VF

Lot #246 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 2,250.00 - $ 4,500.00)
Fr. 1016b $50 1914RS Richmond
This label shows 7/31/1980 and lot 610. Seems low at $115. This serial number has not been reported bringing the total to 25 examples. The folds show wear but the color and centering are good.
Grade: VF

Lot #247 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 1017a $50 1914RS Atlanta
The holder indicates a private purchase from Allen Mincho for $325. Heavy dirt on back could use removal if possible. This is one of 19 examples reported and it faces up quite nicely.
Grade: VF

Lot #248 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 7,500.00 - $ 12,500.00)
Fr. 1018b $50 1914RS Chicago
A lovely high quality Chicago $50 red seal with only 15 examples reported. This was lot 520 in LKCA's 9/09 sale where it brought $14,375. Ex-Rickey Collection.

Lot #249 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 7,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Fr. 1019a $50 1914RS St. Louis
This is one of only 16 examples reported and even the best collections were missing this serial #H1688A for St. Louis and quality seldom seen according to the census. There are two called 40 and this note grades that way or close. This notes holder shows #4152.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #250 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 20,000.00)
Fr. 1020b $50 1914RS Minneapolis
There are now 32 examples reported for this rare $50 1914 red seal from Minneapolis. It appears the finest known of this issue just appeared in April of 2025 graded 45 EPQ. I would expect a "40". A quality red seal with centering and paper quality that appears to be from D. Moore way back.
Grade: XF

Lot #251 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 20,000.00)
Fr. 1021a $50 1914RS Kansas City
This example is by far the finest example of 10 known for the KC $50 red seals and it is new to the census with the next best a PMG 30. This note is well centered with low serial #J2295A with excellent color and paper quality.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #252 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 5,000.00)
Fr. 1022a $50 1914RS Dallas
Before now this rare $50 red seal 1914 FRN from Dallas was not listed in the census of eight examples. All known examples appear to grade from 10-30. This is the lowest quality note in the $50 red seals and I believe it needs to have two splits restored and detrimental stains removed.
Grade: Fine

Lot #253 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 12,500.00 - $ 25,000.00)
Fr. 1023a $50 1914RS San Francisco
We are pleased to offer only the fifth Fr. 1023a discovered. In 2011 the serial #1 appeared and realized $138,000. A pleasing circulated red seal with lovely centering and a desirable low serial #L2582A. This is far finer than the other available example.
Grade: XF

Lot #254 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 400.00 - $ 800.00)
Fr. 1031a $50 1914BS New York

Fr. 1034* $50 1914BS Philadelphia
Previously in Stack's September 1992 auction as lot #978 as part of the Dr. Bernard Schoff Collection. There are only two notes reported; a VF 20 we sold in 2015 for $10,575 and this one which sold off the market since 1992.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #256 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 3,000.00 - $ 6,000.00)
Fr. 1039a* $5 1914BS Cleveland
Records indicate there are only eleven other stars reported and this looks to be the second finest known with the better being a "62". An excellent example. By itself the best of nine on the PMG Population Report.
Grade: PMG Ch. VF 35

Lot #257 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 3,500.00)
Fr. 1042 $50 1914 Richmond
Records indicate 164 examples reported and it has been decades since any offered notes were graded UNC. There were a couple of 58's quite available back when.
Grade: PMG AU 55

Lot #258 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 15,000.00 - $ 30,000.00)
Fr. 1072a $100 1914RS Boston
This is new to the census of 19 reported for this variety and only a single uncertified note has been graded "50" with 40 being the highest third party graded example. What an extraordinary find as I thought this beauty was the small hoard of UNC's but it is a much rarer example in remarkably fresh condition with handling waves and beautiful color.
Grade: Ch. AU

Lot #259 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 8,000.00)
Fr. 1073b $100 1914RS New York

Grade: VF

Lot #260 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 4,500.00 - $ 9,000.00)
Fr. 1074b $100 1914RS Philadelphia
A fresh and well centered high quality $100 red seal from Philly. There are 28 examples reported and few have a more desirable appearance.
Grade: VF/XF

Lot #261 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 6,500.00)
Fr. 1075b $100 1914RS Cleveland
This note was sold as part of the Tom Flynn Collection in April 2008 as lot #15499. This sale saw crazy prices for RS FRN's. There are now 27 reported and in 2008 this note realized $12,650. This definitely appears like today's 20 or better but the old holder makes it yellow.
Grade: PMG Ch. Fine 15

Lot #262 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 8,000.00)
Fr. 1077a $100 1914RS Atlanta

Lot #263 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 20,000.00)
Fr. 1078b $100 1914RS Chicago
This beautiful Chicago $100 is one of two consecutive examples and the other is graded PMG 67 EPQ and it realized $120k in 2018. A similar note called 64 EPQ realized an underwhelming $13,200 in May of 2025. This example remains fresh and original and worthy of a much higher grade. There is lots of room from $10,000 to $120,000. There are 33 reported and this is among the finest. Acquired from Dennis Forgue or affiliates.
Grade: PMG AU 55

Lot #264 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 6,500.00 - $ 10,000.00)
Fr. 1079a $100 1914RS St. Louis

Lot #266 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 3,500.00 - $ 6,000.00)

Grade: VF

Lot #267 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 4,000.00 - $ 8,000.00)
Fr. 1082b $100 1914RS Dallas
Records indicate just 8 examples reported and the grade on this note seems logical making it perhaps the lowest of those known. This was lot #15447 at HA FUN show in 2010. PCGS notes minor stains.
Grade: PCGS VG 10 Apparent

Lot #268 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 2,500.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 1092 $100 1914BS Philadelphia
This lovely $100 was graded Gem as lot 1883 in CAA's 1/98 sale. I would assume that grade is still accurate. 234 notes are reported and a PMG AU 55 realized $3480 in Heritage's 1/25 sale.
Grade: Ch./Gem CU

Lot #269 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 2,000.00 - $ 4,000.00)
Fr. 1104 $100 1914 Atlanta

Lot #270 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 15,000.00 - $ 30,000.00)
Fr. 1120* $100 1914BS Kansas City
This Kansas City hundred is a note with amazing rarity with only four stars reported. Unblemished quality just as it was printed and saved as a single digit star. Best of just four on the PMG Population Report with the next closest a 25!

Lot #271 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 20,000.00 - $ 40,000.00)
Fr. 1132-H $500 1918 St. Louis
Wow! What a cool $500 St. Louis FRN with serial #H888A from district 8-H. A super saver many years ago and only 2 examples as high as XF and both with flaws. The flaws on this example both appear to be closed staple holes at right that are invisible without back lighting. Definitely the coolest St. Louis $500 and only 8 reported.
Grade: PMG Ch. VF 35

Lot #272 - Large Size Type Notes > Federal Reserve Notes - ($ 35,000.00 - $ 50,000.00)
Fr. 1133-L $1,000 1918 San Francisco
There is no question that the $1,000 FRN is one of the coolest and desirable types in large size as the complete series $5 - $1,000 are all available in very high quality. There are 64 examples reported which includes 12 that I acquired at the 1979 ANA in St. Louis from Gene Henry. Today those dozen represent many of the best known. This note has beautiful color, excellent centering and the look of a higher grade. PMG shows 38 graded with only three better. The consecutive note brought $42,000 in May 2025 from HA.

Grade: Good

Lot #276 - Large Size Type Notes > Gold Certificates - ($ 7,000.00 - $ 12,000.00)
Fr. 1177 $20 1882
This is a rare type with the large brown seal from the department series of 1882. Just 35 reported and this is a nice mid-grade note with a close top margin. A PMG XF 45 realized $39,600 this year, while a lower end VF brought $7,800 a couple years ago. Dean always liked these brown seal early golds as they would not have been legal to own when he started, which likely fueled his interest.

Lot #277 - Large Size Type Notes > Gold Certificates - ($ 10,000.00 - $ 20,000.00)
Fr. 1179 $20 1905

Lot #278 - Large Size Type Notes > Gold Certificates - ($ 15,000.00 - $ 30,000.00)
Fr. 1180 $20 1905
Here is an extraordinary find with serial #5. This Lyons-Roberts Technicolor $20 was included in the Bowers & Merena 1987 ANA sale from the Amon Carter Collection. Just a pleasing and well-centered example with three distinct folds. This note has beautiful color and we are so lucky Teddy Roosevelt appreciated beauty and redefined many attitudes.

An identically graded example realized $164,500 at Stack's Bowers in 2014 and 11 years later records show $48,000 from HA on 1/25. The census indicates only 16 reported. this note was listed as a 50 in the census and I really feel it is under-graded by PMG. I think it is beautiful for the grade.

Here is a seldom encountered $50 brown seal gold certificate with the image of Silas Wright, an American politician who died in 1847. Only 22 are reported and at least four are impounded in government holdings. I think this is pleasing for the grade.

This seems like a perfect 35 to me because it has folds but top quality paper and bold red, black and gold printing and nice centering.

Records show only a scant 15 stars are reported although just under 2000 $50's are recorded. There is plenty of quality in both the centering and appearance of this incredible star. This note last appeared at Stack's October 1190 sale as lot 882. PMG notes "as made inclusion"

A lovely high end 100 Gold Certificate with great centering and it's a star! Last offered with us as lot #620 in 2/20/95. Just a glorious $100 star Gold Certificate and it is the earliest serial of the 32 reported. It is likely the third or fourth finest with great centering, body and color.
