    Fairfield, TX - Treasurer of Freestone County $5 July 1, 1862 Medlar 4. PCGS About New 50 Apparent. This is a high grade and very attractive Freestone County 10% interest bearing note. Printed on deep blue paper without an imprint. The obligation and titles are across the center of the note. Above, at top center is arced FAIRFIELD, and at upper right the denomination (written in numerically). Seen at far left are a standing Indian princess and crouching Ceres. Across the bottom center is a deep red protector FIVE. The Apparent notes, "Stained at Right; Minor Edge Damage at Bottom Right," are accurate, but the damage is just a slightly rough edge. This is an exceptional grade for the series and type. We believe our estimates for the Texas County notes in this Newman VI currency sale are conservative. County notes of this rarity and quality are not often seen, except in the most advanced collections. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $540.50.

    Austin, TX - Republic of Texas $500 May 29, 1839 Cr. A9 Olson 772 Medlar 29. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. This is the highest denomination from the Austin-emitted fifth series engraved by Rawdon, Wright Hatch & Edson, New Orleans/Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, New York imprint. This example has excellent eye appeal and is in choice condition. At the upper left is seated Commerce and Plenty (also referred to as "Industry") with a Texas Star shown on a small shield (vignette signed by Geo. Hatch), and to its right, a "D" die. At far left is "500" on a wide lathe work panel. At the far right, between "500" counters in the corners, is seated Liberty with an eagle. Like the other denominations on the orange back, it has the large five-pointed Texas Star with each letter of T E X A S in between a star point respectively. A desirable highest denomination note from the series; many of those known have unsightly cancellations or ill-advised repairs. This note is cleanly hammered cancelled and is cited with "Hinge Repaired Cancellations" that are neatly performed. This example is broadly margined on the face and has an especially vibrant appearance on both sides. Recent auction records from our January 2015 FUN sale indicate strong demand for the type continuing unabated. This will fit into the finest high grade denomination set very well, and have the added cachet of a distinguished pedigree. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $4,465.00.

    (Columbia), SC - State of South Carolina $10 Jan. 1866 Cr.-UNL. Essay Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64 Apparent. Unpublished in all the Southern State's references, from the 1915 William West Bradbeer reference, through multiple Grover Criswell editions, and ultimately to the currently used A Guidebook of Southern States Currency by Hugh Shull (2007, Whitman Publishing). It is a handmade Face Essay Proof in mixed media and is unique. There is also a companion $5 denomination Essay Model Proof in the EPNNES collection and on display currently in the Newman Money Museum at Washington University in St. Louis. The Essay was created as a proposal for the Reconstruction period notes that eventually were issued from Columbia with January 1, 1866 dates and engraved by the American Bank Note Company (Cr. 01-04 types). The Essay Model is a blend of drawing and engraving. The engraved elements are mounted on original cardstock without imprint. At the top, just to the right is a sepia wash drawing of an eagle in full flight with the American Standard in its talons, flowing in its wake. To the eagle's left is the hand-lettered title "The State of/South Carolina" in stacked, curving style as are the obligation texts. The bordering, lathe work elements, central TEN DOLLARS and upper right corner "10" counter are India paper elements, were affixed to the card in tandem with the hand drawn and lettered art. This is an extremely impressive design, but not representative of what was ultimately engraved and emitted. The verso of the card is interesting. A contemporary note was written in pencil perpendicularly, at the right end with, "$750/for 10,000 sheets/4 on " /Being 2 of the $5./ and " " " $10.", the sheet configuration chosen. The origin of the two Essay Model Proof denominations from this Act in the Newman collection is a mystery. It may have been a private proposal to local officials, but the engraved elements are suggestive of a link with the American Bank Note Company, especially with the ordering data on the verso. However, without supporting documents that is impossible to prove. Some minor flaws are noted, academic in the grand scheme: "Paper Scuffs; Minor Stains." The stains are an overstatement for scattered, light foxing. An elegant and unique example of the banknote engraver's art. Like most Obsolete notes, it is very difficult to evaluate, and a realization well over the upper estimate is appropriate if two or more collectors recognize the uniqueness and great artistry of this South Carolina currency treasure.

At the top center are three females representing the Arts, one wielding a mallet and chisel, with a bust of Washington. At the lower left is portrait of a woman with flowers in her hair in an oval and at lower right, a male portrait. Another problem-free issued rarity, this bright example is well margined all around. A forceful and vibrant Pennsylvania rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2,820.00. Newman VI (Heritage Auctions, 4/2015), lot 19304.

    Kirtland, OH - Kirtland Safety Society Bank $100 Feb. 10, 1837 OH-245 G18 Wolka 1424-18 Rust 11. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. The $100 Kirtland note is the highest denomination from the series and has always had a broad appeal, a majestic presence among the other Kirtland notes. Printed as the bottom note on the high denomination sheet by Underwood, Bald, Spencer & Hufty, N. York & Philad. At the top center is a historical vignette of the Presentation of the Declaration of Independence, with the Founding Fathers rendered in deep detail as adapted from John Trumbull's iconic painting. A left, a facing cameo head with "100" is on either side. The identical ends are perpendicular and have ornate filigree detail with "C" counter in the center and "100" numerals in each corner. With the secretarial signature of J. Smith, Jr. and S. Rigdon, as usually seen on this denomination. The Smith signature is penned in an interesting "scribe" hand, with wider spacing between the "J" and "Smith." This is a low serial No. 23 and was issued to Hyrum Smith, Joseph Smith's brother. In 1844, while they were imprisoned for treason in Carthage, they were murdered when the militia failed to protect them. Approximately 40-50 are likely known, most in Very Fine or better grade, and they are always well received. This note is Apparent, for "Pinholes" that are scattered about the center and not readily noticed without studying the back. A key type note for a Kirtland denomination set, this boasts a significant pedigree. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $7,637.50.

    Kirtland, OH - Kirtland Safety Society Bank $3 Mar. 9, 1837 OH-245 G6 Wolka 1424-08 Rust 6. PCGS Very Fine 30. A popular denomination from the Kirtland series and the bottom position of the lesser denomination plate by Underwood, Bald, Spencer & Hufty, N. York & Philad. The titles, with large BANK, are left of center, and to the right is a vignette of an early locomotive and cars in three-quarter head-on view. Flanking are cameo heads with "1." Nearly identical ends have "3" numerals in the center and each corner shows a classical cameo profile head facing outward. Secretarial signature of J. Smith, Jr. and S. Rigdon, the most often seen signature combination on the regular Kirtland notes. This is a beautiful type note, and is easily on the cusp of PPQ status. This bold $3 Kirtland note is evenly and perfectly margined all around. A pleasing Kirtland $3 denomination that will fit into a higher grade set easily. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $4,700.00. Newman VI (Heritage Auctions, 4/2015), lot 19291. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Kirtland, OH - Kirtland Safety Society Bank $1 Mar. 9, 1837 OH-245 G2 Wolka 1424-02 Rust 4. PCGS Very Fine 25. This is an attractive lowest denomination Kirtland note printed from the small denomination, $1-$1-$2-$3, four-subject plate engraved at Underwood, Bald, Spencer & Hufty, N. York & Philad.

Excellent paper body and clean surfaces are present. The cutting is just slightly wavy at the upper left, but the eye appeal of this Very Fine certified example is considerable. Ex: Eric P.

    Wilmington, NC - Bank of Cape Fear $7 Asheville Branch Oct. 1, 1858 NC-90 G192b. PCGS Very Fine 25. Odd denomination notes have held the interest of Obsolete collectors for a long time. Roger H. Durand's first book of his thirteen subject titles is Interesting Notes About Denominations (1988, Author), providing collectors with a primer on this fascinating genre. The North Carolina and rarer Virginia notes using $6, $7, $8, and $9 plate configurations are excellent to collect; all rare to extremely rare in choice condition. This is the first of four Bank of Cape Fear branch issued notes that have eye appeal way above what is normally encountered, and they merit strong attention. This full red lace tinted note with large white outlined "7" in the center was engraved and printed by Bald, Cousland & Co., Philadelphia. (or BC). At the top center, America and Indian chief, both seated, flank a shield on which a landscape is depicted. At the left, perpendicular SEVEN on intricate lathe work. At the right are three counters. Dated, signed and issued from the Asheville branch of the bank. This is an exceptional example and in this case, a condition rarity. The best 2003 Raleigh collection sale examples approached, but may not have exceeded this. These odd denominations are always in demand and meriting an aggressive bid when factoring in pedigree and condition superiority. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,057.50.

    Lockport, NY - Lockport Bank & Trust Co. $2 18__ NY-1246 G4 SENC. Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64. An exceedingly rare and distinctive Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, New-York India paper note mounted on cardstock. The bank is all SENC in Haxby with no notes illustrated. Very boldly printed, the RWH style is a bit different from what is generally encountered. At the top is seated Agriculture, flanked by "2" counters. At the left is the early style New York Comptroller's Seal for a registered note type, with seated female in oval, and detailed obligation. At the far right is seated Vulcan in his workshop. According to period Bank Note Reporters, the issued notes used red color backs, but this is not confirmed. This is Hole Punch Cancelled as made, with one incomplete punch at far left. We traced only one other example, the September 2005 CAA Gordon Harris Sale note, lot 705, which had an India paper vignette cut out and still brought $396. Deeply inked, this is extremely handsome and fifteen years later, worth multiples. A great combination of rarity, distinction and pedigree. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

    Canandaigua, NY - Bank of Ontario $1 Dec. 13, 1860 NY-540 G2a SENC. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. Issued notes from banks using the National Bank Note Company firm are often much rarer than proofs from the same title. This is an appealing, fully signed and issued note with great vignettes and lovely color. At the top center, under the arced title, is the NBN vignette In the Hayfield showing a horse-drawn farm machine and field hands. The water in the far background is most likely the finger lake on which this eponymous community is located. At the lower left is the New York Bank Seal and at the lower right, a portrait engraved for the bank. The upper corner dies are scalloped and have micro-lettered titles within, all the details are machined using the Cyrus Durand patented devices. At the bottom center are two green dies. The Apparent designations, "Paper Adhered to Back at Right; Small Edge Splits" do not affect this note; it faces up very nicely, with the paper body and color evident. This bright note is superior to the example we sold at our 2011 Tampa FUN show auction for $1,495 (PMG Fine-12, ex: Gordon Harris Collection sale, CAA September 2000, Lot 618 at $495.00). This rarity is worthy of a bid at or in excess of that example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,116.25. Newman VI (Heritage Auctions, 4/2015), lot 19240.
