- South Carolina March 6, 1776 Resolve 1 Pound 15 Shillings Fr. SC-121. PCGS Choice About New 55 Apparent. The small laid paper notes from the March 6, 1776 Resolve are much rarer than the large ones. They were printed uniface in different size formats, some even with vertical orientation. Simple typeset texts are within pattern ornamental bordering. The texts are mixed black and orange. This is a bold note with strong color. Period pen endorsement is on the back. The Apparent designation seems unfair because of its visual appeal, but cited is a "Small Edge Split at Bottom Right of Center." Without the split, it has the look of PPQ. This is a rare type in top condition. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,880.00. Newman VI (Heritage Auctions, 4/2015), lot 19549. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Rhode Island February 14, 1743 6 Pence Fr. RI-52a. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. This is a magnificent "Tall" Bill of Credit from Rhode Island authorized by the General Assembly from South Kingstown. The authorization and issue is known as the Eighth Bank. The engraved face plate, which was subsequently redated for a few more issues, is one of the most handsomely designed plates in the 1690-1750 New England Bill of Credit issuing period. The obligations are in the cartouche taking up the top two thirds of the note. The sides show column details; the bottom has fancy scrollwork on each side of the Rhode Island anchor motif symbolizing Hope; the top displays fancy engraved details in the corners with Six Pence in the center; and at the bottom left, the Royal Arms. The back is simpler with an ornamental square cartouche composed of mixed types such as crowns, urns, plumes and roses. At center is "Six Pence/ equal to/ Two Shillings/ Old Tenor." A very bold note, from the earliest plate state, with three clear signatures and serial No. 4180 at upper right. A deeply inked, strong plate was used on this note. Broad margins, although the left end margin does dive just a bit closely toward the bottom. Apparent, cited with a "Repaired Center Split," but the paper body is considerable and extraordinary for this type of large format Bill of Credit. An extremely rare note. The Boyd collection "Tall" notes sold in Ford Part III had only three different redated plates. Beautifully printed and very striking. This eye-catching Rhode Island bill is a highlight in the Colonial currency section from the Newman Collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $9,693.75. Newman VI (Heritage Auctions, 4/2015), lot 19544. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Pennsylvania April 3, 1772 2 Shillings John Morton Signature Fr. PA-156. PCGS Very Fine 30. A premium quality John Morton, Signer of the Declaration of Independence note. Most Morton signed notes are rather low grade or soiled, obscuring the signature. This example has the look of a PPQ note for the grade and is well margined. The John Morton signature is seen in a rich, clear hand. A perfect example for a Colonial note "Signers" set. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,880.00. Newman VI (Heritage Auctions, 4/2015), lot 19539. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

Horizontal format with the Penn family arms at upper left. The paper is fresh and original. Noted are "Minor Mounting Remnants on Back," and these are difficult to see. Well margined and even, it is appealing on both sides. In high grade this is extremely rare. A top notch type note from this series. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $881.25.

- North Carolina May 17, 1783 20 Shillings Fr. NC-206. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. This is a genuine note, and very rare thus. An interesting crown and book vignette is at the lower left.

The majority of the note is present and it is bright. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $793.13. Newman VI (Heritage Auctions, 4/2015), lot 19527.

- Colony of New York November 1, 1709 Lyons Dollars Issue 20 Lyon Dollars (13 Oz., 15 Dws.) Fr. NY-12. PCGS Choice About New 55. This is fascinating, and the rarest issue of 1709 notes. There are very few of these Lyon Dollar notes of any denomination known, and we believe there are less than ten known of all denominations in private hands (five impressions were in Boyd). The issue was backed with 10,000 ounces of silver. Lyon dollars themselves were Dutch "Silver Dollars" which circulated worldwide as a trade coin, just as the Spanish Milled Dollars. The rate of 5 Shillings 6 Pence was pegged to each (Lion) dollar. There is also an interesting use of multiple denomination equivalents based on weight. There were only 300 notes authorized, and this denomination was not in Boyd. Our research does not find another of this denomination ever offered for public sale, making this one of the key New York Colonial Currency rarities. The style is similar to the other 1709 notes printed by Bradford, with typeset texts on the face and indent at the top. There are four signatures like those appearing on the shilling issue note. This is a beautiful and well-balanced example. Not far from being a PPQ note, with minimal handling only. In this case, being less than perfect is purely academic. This is exceedingly rare. The Boyd collection contained five Lyon dollar notes, a bonanza that is deceptive, since up to that time there was only one auction record in the modern era for a Lyon dollar note. In our January 2002 FUN auction we sold a 4 Lyon dollars note, Lot 356 (Serial No. 50, "Very Choice New"), at $37,375. At the time, that was one of the highest prices achieved for a Colonial note (with prices surpassing that number for the two 1690 notes auctioned by Smythe at CPMX at just above $50,000). The Boyd collection had a strip of three 4 Lyon dollars notes, interestingly serial numbers from left to right 52, 51, and 49; note that the serial number 50 cited above was once part of the uncut horizontal sheet. Boyd also had the only observed 16 Lyon dollars denomination, which had seen some considerable circulation. This is a fabulous combination of historical significance, highest rarity, and elite Colonial currency pedigree: a significant first public offering. A true Colonial currency prize awaits the successful bidder. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $25,850.00. Newman VI (Heritage Auctions, 4/2015), lot 19516.

- State of New Jersey 1786 6 Shillings Fr. NJ-213. PCGS Very Fine 25. This is a very scarce series of notes and particularly so in grades Very Fine or better; the majority is known rather soiled and frayed. The face has the State Arms in red and the backs with the nature print. The quality of this 6 Shilling example is on a par with the Boyd notes sold at Ford Part XV and superior to the notes in James DuPont's 1993 Smythe auction. This is an undervalued series without high grade hoards known. A superior type note and late Colonial Currency type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,175.00.

- New Hampshire August 24, 1775 3 Pounds Fr. NH-141. PCGS Choice About New 55PPQ. A superb looking note from this series, with the printing, typeset and ornaments attributed to Daniel Fowle. The 3 Pounds was the highest denomination and this bill was due 20th December, 1777. Virtually as made, with minimal handling. Well margined and showing a nicely shaped left indent. This note is similar to the Boyd raw uncirculated note sold at Ford X, Lot 4740 at $5,750. An excellent "Thirteen Colony" type note candidate for a quality set of that subject matter. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2,820.00. Newman VI (Heritage Auctions, 4/2015), lot 19499. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Massachusetts October 16, 1778 2 Pence Fr. MA-254. PCGS Choice New 63. This is from the second date and back style for the Revere "Codfish" bills. The October 16, 1778 notes with the Thomas Fleet backs are sometimes encountered in choice condition and were once part of cut off notes from leftover three note strips. This is a choice example with perfect back to face registration. The pine tree details are very strong. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,527.50.
