    Descripción:
    Corinth, MS - H.G. Winslow, Army News Agent $1 Undated (1862) Kraus 54977, Leggett-UNL. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. This is a very rare Civil war military-related issuer and it is ornately lithographed for this time period. Printed on greenish paper by Britton & Freligh, prs., Memphis. Although men ride on top of the bales, there appears to be no driver of the horse-drawn wagon at upper right. The left end panel shows a standing Native American princess and seated Ceres. A perpendicular red ONE is in a cartouche at the right end. The base vignette shows the head of a dog in profile. To its left is a train traveling east. In red are the denomination across, protector at upper left, and issuer name. This variant does not have "Corinth" crossed out like the examples plated in the Keller sutler paper money book. Noted with "Small Edge Tear at Top Right; Minor Rust Stains." Overall, the note is very solid bodied, bright and attractive. A very rare note and likely top-grade for the issuer. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $3760.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18446. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Winona, MN - Winona County Bank $1 Nov. 1, 1858 MN-205 G2a, Hewitt B940-D1-2b. Proof. PCGS Superb Gem New 67 PPQ. The Winona County Bank, among the four soundest in the state, redeemed all its notes at par. Founder A. W. Webster was instrumental in the formation of the United National Bank of Winona (Charter #1643) in 1865, a successor that would have continued its par redemption of their notes. It is interesting to note from the census a relatively ample supply of proofs of all denominations printed from the American Bank Note Company engraved $1-$1-$2-$3 plate. However, there are only five issued notes in that census, proving the bank's soundness and integrity for redeeming notes. The vignettes are Bald, Cousland & Co. style, as ordered by the bank. At the top, steamboats make their way toward the port; their reflections are clearly visible in the calm water in this masterful engraving. At the lower left are two Native American hunters overlooking an industrialized vista. At lower right is a portrait of Florence Nightingale. Notice it has an engraved blue serial number "87625" for demonstration purposes. There were six $1 proofs listed in 2006, but this India paper proof mounted on original cardstock is tied for finest known and is on par with the other $1 proof we sold in Newman Part VI for $2,350. Noted as "Hole Punch Cancelled" and "Mounted on Cardstock." This "A" position proof is a Superb Gem with impeccable style. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2115.00.

    Taylors Falls, MN - Chisago County Bank $2 18__ MN-190 G4, Hewitt B840-D2. Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64. This is one of only two known proofs of this "small plate" type printed on India paper from the plates engraved by the American Bank Note Company. At top left, teams of yoked oxen pull Conestoga wagons over hilly terrain. Just right of center, a young girl with flowers in her hair pulls on her dress. In front of a background of dark clouds at lower right, an eagle grips the symbols of war and peace while standing on the Stars and Stripes shield. Noted only as "Hole Punch Cancelled." A well-margined proof with exceptionally deep inking. The bank is underrated as a proof issuer due to the larger population of issued notes known, but extremely important to specialist collectors. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1175.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18436. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    Pawtucket, MA - Pawtucket Bank $10 July 1, 1845 MA-970 G84 SENC. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This is another very rare bank, and the type was unreported until this note surfaced. Printed from a very well-styled plate by the New England Bank Note Co. On the left side, at top, Cincinnatus stands with ox and plow. Under the TEN at the top of the right end panel, standing Minerva holds a large cornucopia with one hand and rudder with the other, symbolizing Plenty and Navigation. The left end panel has the Roman numeral "X" vertically between two "10" counters. A very large "10" filled with ornate scrollwork dominates the right side. Noted with "Minor Ink Erosion." A bright example with exceptionally well-penned signatures. This is likely a unique example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2350.00.

    Descripción:
    New Orleans, LA - Cashier of the Bank of the United States (the Third) pay at the Merchants Bank, New Orleans $5 Oct. 1, 1838. US-3-UNL PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. This is a very rare Third Bank of the United States type and acted as a demand note, despite not receiving a Haxby listing for the series. The engraved style by Draper, Toppan & Longacre is like most of the notes for the Third Bank. At each end are three portraits of prominent Americans. Rittenhouse, Penn and Paine are at the left and Fulton, Franklin and Morris at the right. The stone bank building at the top center is above the title. The note has a fabulous reddish-brown color back, showing William Penn is in the center surrounded by the original fourteen state emblems. Intricate lathe work panels complete this back. We know of this type as a proof (see Smythe Sale #156, November 1996, lot 1703). The notes were supposedly created to facilitate cotton transactions in New Orleans by Bank of the United States agents. Noted with "Tape Repaired Edge Tears and Damage." A key, issued Third Bank of the United States type with a beautiful back. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2585.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18362.

    Descripción:
    Franklin, LA - Jona. C. White & Son, The Register Office 10 Cents August 26, 1862. PCGS Extremely Fine 40. There are several issuers from Franklin, Louisiana, but this is certainly a great rarity with only a 5 cents from the series known to us. Printed on brown paper and in a small format. Above the title and between "10 CENTS" is a diminutive, charming vignette of a printing press. "The Register Office" is across with obligation underneath. The denomination in Gothic type is in the left cartouche, and the proprietors' names are at the right end. Signed by Jona. C. White and Son as "Editors & Proprietors." This is an exceptional note in a condition that augments the complete package. Only showing minor circulation and very boldly printed. Another great rarity from the Newman Collection Louisiana Civil War currency. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $540.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18331.

  • Lot 18324

    Descripción:
    Clinton, LA - Town of Clinton $5 June 21, 1862. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. The dollar denominations from Clinton are in a larger format, like period banknotes. This is an exceptional looking June 21, 1862 note with the thin, translucent paper exhibiting great integrity. (The $2 denomination is printed on thicker white paper without imprint.) The printing is deep and contrasts with the well-penned signatures. At top center, flanked by "V" and "5," a large fountain with a sculptural stylized dolphin pedestal spills water onto the ground. At the center of the left end panel seated Commerce appears at a wharf. The right end panel is dominated by a large "5". Textual counters are in all four corners. Noted with "Minor Restorations," and we will stress that they are minor. This is a rarer type from the several series, and the condition exceptional. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $423.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18324. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Louisville, KY - Bank of Kentucky $100 18__ KY-195 G436, Hughes 518. Proof. PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent. A rare high denomination India paper proof from the Casilear, Durand, Burton & Edmonds imprint series. Printed on India paper only. A screaming eagle stands on a rock at the shore with wings upraised in the top center vignette. Identical end panels show a standing allegorical female sculpture in a niche with shadow behind. Her foot rests upon the globe. This is a very striking design. Noted as "Hole Punch Cancelled" and with "Hinge and Mounting Remnants on Back; Minor Damage at LR." A key denomination from this bank and proof series. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $399.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18320.

    Descripción:
    Augusta, GA - Bridge Company of Augusta $100 18__ GA-45 G28. Proof. PCGS About New 50 Apparent. Though low grade issued notes from this banking company are available, proofs are extremely rare, and we believe this $100 India paper proof engraved by Leney & Rollinson is unique. Using a custom vignette for the bank series, a fierce looking eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch flies above the bridge in the top center vignette. Tollbooths and gatekeepers are at either end to allow passengers entry. Shimmering moir? patterns provide the background for the end panels with ONE HUNDRED perpendicular; at left, the type is reversed out for a white on black effect while at right, the denomination is black on white and italicized. This faces up as a stunning example, and the proof denomination was not in the Alan Dorris Georgia Obsolete note collection, the finest ever formed. Noted only with some "Mounting Remnants on Back." This note possesses great style and rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $3290.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18288.

    Descripción:
    Washington, DC - Bank of the United States $2 Nov. 25, 1852 DC-370 G12a. PCGS Very Fine 20. This is a Washington title that is not often encountered. The title certainly was meant to evoke an official status, but it is considered fraudulent by modern note researchers. At left, beneath the curving title, an eagle with wings up, gripping the symbols of war and peace, stands upon the Stars and Stripes shield. In the distance are clipper ships and a sidewheel steamer. A male portrait in an oval is at the right. At lower left is a Roman numeral counter. At the right end, a numeric counter is above and textual counter below the District registration seal. A sidewheel steamer is at the base. Though light, a red TWO protector is present. The signatures match those on the Haxby plate note examples from the series. Problem free and a handsome rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1645.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18277. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
