    Alexandria, DC - Mechanics Bank of Alexandria $5 Jan. 6, 1831 Haxby DC-20 G8, Jones & Littlefield BA-20-05. PCGS Very Fine 30. This is rare and fully issued, dated near the close of the bank in 1832. This is one of the few issued notes known from the bank and proofs are also rare. A wheelwright is busy at work in the scene at top center. To the left and right, in ovals, are identical "5" counters embellished by bunches of grapes. At the base are various implements with a scroll reading "Chartered by Congress." At the left end, ALEXANDRIA is perpendicular, in black on a white background, in a cartouche. At right, FIVE is in white against a black background within a differently styled cartouche. An important District issued note and tie note to Virginia. The condition is outstanding. Ex: Eric P.

    Descripción:
    Pennsylvania April 3, 1772 1 Shilling John Morton Signature Fr. PA-154. PCGS Very Fine 35 Apparent. A large format, two-sided, vertical note from this series with a bold John Morton signature in the center. Though noted with "Minor Mounting Remnants on Back; Pinholes" as Apparent details, this has a wholesome, well-margined face. These John Morton notes always seem to be in demand, and justifiably so, as reminders of the courageous Signers of the Declaration of Independence and the formation of the American nation. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $822.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18183. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Colony of New York November 1, 1709 Lyon Dollars Issue 20 Lyon Dollars (13 Oz., 15 Dws.) Fr. NY-12. PCGS Choice About New 55 Apparent. This is the rarest issue of 1709 notes, and it is fascinating. There are very few Lyon Dollar notes known, and we believe there are less than ten of all denominations in private hands (five impressions were in Boyd). Until our April 2015 Newman VI auction, our research had not found any instance of this denomination offered for public sale. Thus, this is one of the key New York Colonial Currency rarities. The issue was backed with 10,000 ounces of silver. Lyon dollars themselves were Dutch "Silver Dollars" which circulated worldwide as trade coins, just as the Spanish Milled Dollars. The rate of 5 shillings 6 pence was pegged to each (Lyon) dollar. There is also an interesting use of multiple denomination equivalents based on weight. There were only 300 notes authorized, and this highest denomination was not in Boyd. The style is similar to the other 1709 notes printed by Bradford, with typeset texts on the face and indent design at the top. There are four signatures, as required, like those appearing on the November 1, 1709 Shilling Issue note. This is a beautiful and well-balanced example. Though Apparent, it has a PPQ note appeal, with minimal handling only. Noted by PCGS as having only a "Small Edge Split at Top Center." In this case, being less than perfect is purely academic. This is an exceedingly rare note and only the second we are aware of: both from the Newman collection. The Boyd collection contained five Lyon dollar notes, a bonanza that is deceptive now, 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 four Lyon dollars note, Lot 356 (Serial No. 50, "Very Choice New"), for $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 three-note strip of four Lyon dollars, 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. The first Newman collection 20 Lyon Dollars sold in April 2015 realized $25,850 graded slightly finer at Choice About New 55. This is a fabulous combination of historical significance, highest rarity, and elite Colonial currency pedigree. Another significant offering awaits our bidding audience in this auspicious Newman VII auction sale. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $16450.00.

    Descripción:
    State of New Jersey June 9, 1780 $5 Contemporary Counterfeit Fr. NJ-188. PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ. This is a very scarce Contemporary Counterfeit, more so than the genuine note. Its overall look is different from the genuine, and the paper has a similarity to the counterfeit $20 notes from Maryland and Massachusetts. A choice example with strong back color. The Boyd collection note was sold raw in Ford XV for $2,185 ("Very Fine to Extremely Fine"). Another important note for the serious specialist. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1292.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18128. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

  • Lot 18089

    Descripción:
    Massachusetts Bay August 18, 1775 12 Shillings Fr. MA-168. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. This is an attractive "Sword in Hand" note. The margins are wide on all sides, and the note is perfectly centered on both face and back. All details and legends are clear. Noted with "Small Edge Split at Left; Minor Stains" by PCGS. A well above-average type note from this first series of Revere "Swords." Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1645.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18089.

  • Lot 18076

    Descripción:
    State of Maryland June 28, 1780 $20 Fr. MD-122. PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. The $20 was the highest denomination note from all the series authorized. Fully margined on all sides and a little wider at the bottom. This example is boldly printed and shows excellent back color. Yet another denomination that is perfect for any Colonial note type set.

    Descripción:
    Georgia September 10, 1777 $5 Fr. GA-118. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ. A choice Rattlesnake Seal type with excellent detail and color. The margins are complete on all sides, although slightly close at the top center. With splendid eye-appeal, this example appears to be higher grade from the face. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $3290.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18058. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Colony of Delaware May 1, 1777 6 Pence Fr. DE-83. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ. This is a gorgeous small change note from the May 1, 1777 series. It is well printed and boldly signed.

    Descripción:
    Confederate States of America - CTXX-4 $20 1861 "Upham Transition Note" Tremmel CTXX-4. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. This is an exceedingly rare and important Confederate bogus, or fantasy, note. Tremmel assigns it a Rarity-10 (1-2 known) rating. There are reportedly only two known examples, and this Newman Collection note adds to that elite number. This wood block engraving has T10 imitation vignettes, but adds red color TWENTY and "20" die protectors as seen on the Upham Female Riding Deer fantasy note (CTXX-1) types. The full Upham imprint is along the bottom edge. Noted with "Edge Tears and Minor Damage; Mounting Remnants on Back." Those flaws are minor compared with the bright eye appeal. Difficult to estimate, but clearly a dream note for the Confederate contemporary counterfeit specialist. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $8812.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18775. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

  • Lot 18769

    Descripción:
    Confederate States of America - T6 1861 $50 PF-1, Cr. 6. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ. The Act of March 3, 1861 amended Act of August 3, 1861 Richmond notes are another handsome series of intaglio engraved and printed notes. The $50 and $100 notes were printed from two-subject plates engraved by the Southern Bank Note Company, New-Orleans using the Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson dies and tints from the former office. Like the $50 and $100 Montgomery notes, they paid interest. This is a striking engraved note using an additional green tint plate. Under the arced title at center, Industry holds a spool of thread and a shuttle as she rests her foot on two books. Agriculture, with her arm around Industry's shoulder, holds a caduceus. Justice, with scales and sword, is at the left. An oval portrait of Washington is at the right between two "50" counters. A green bottom center guilloche with micro-lettering has FIFTY across, and hexagonal "L" dies flank the denomination. Hand dated, numbered and signed by Tyler and Elmore. The back has a lightly penned paid endorsement. There were 5,798 notes issued. With its broad margins and vibrant color, this is one of the finest known examples. An exceptional T6 $50 representing this two-note series perfectly. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $18800.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18769.
