- San Marcos, TX - Treasurer of Hays County 25 Cents Sept. 1, 1862 Medlar 1. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. This county is rarely offered, and this is an excellent note. Printed on brown paper without imprint. The bold red textual denomination "Twenty-Five Cents" stands out. Pattern borders are at the top and bottom. End panels are composed of type ornaments and border cuts. Sharply signed and dated. The only example we have handled was the Bill Bond collection note in January 2007. This note is superior to that and the Medlar plate note. Noted with "Small Repairs at Bottom Left of Center," which are trivial. Another exceptionally vivid note and perfect for a county set. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $940.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18595. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Houston, TX - Fannin House 75 Cents 186_ Medlar 126. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. Newman Collection scrip notes often have stories to tell. The Fannin House was one of three hotels in Houston during the Civil War and served as Major General John Bankhead Magruder's headquarters as Texas district commander. An eclectic figure, Magruder fought for three nations: the United States in the Mexican War, the Confederacy, and the Imperial Mexican Army after the Civil War. Nicknamed "Prince John" he spoke with a lisp, but supposedly could sing perfectly as a tenor. He was a nemesis of McClellan, who misread his troop strengths, and defended Galveston in early 1863. This note is printed on the back of a Houston, Texas Central bond. A double-line border is all around. An ornate cartouche at the left end shows an ornament in the center. Title, denomination and obligation are across. The red overprint "Fannin House" is in mixed half-shaded lettering using block letters for "F" and "H," and "HOUSTON" underneath. We handled only one in the Bill Bond sale, heavily stained and still realizing $403. This is noted with "Tape Repaired Hole at Bottom Right" and with a small patch of staining in that spot. Overall, this is a very attractive and extremely rare scrip note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $998.75. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18594.

- Houston, TX - Republic of Texas $1 June 1, 1838 Cr. H23, Olson 503, Medlar 49. PCGS Fine 12 Apparent. This third series is referred to as "Medallion" notes due to its left emblem (or die). They are very hard to come by, and usually encountered in specialized collections. The notes were used to redeem an earlier series of paper money and make change for the initial series "Star" notes. This is also an intaglio engraved issue, with the imprint of Niles Print, Houston. Childs, Clark & Co, New Orleans. At the top center is a small vignette of a river god spilling water while a ship sails in the far distance. The full title flows around elegantly with the vignette bisecting it and "OF TEXAS" underneath. In center is a subtle, engraved Texas star. At the left is a perpendicular oval die, the "Medallion," with steamboat. Jefferson is at the far right. Plate A position with imprint at the lower right. An excellent example of this Shull-Criswell Rarity-9 (16-50 known) note type. Generally unheard of above the grade of Fine, this is above average. The $2 Cr. H24 graded PCGS Fine 15 Apparent realized $4,230 in Newman Part VI. Noted as "Cross-Cut Cancelled" and with "Hinge Repaired Cancellations; Small Edge Tears." The repairs are from the back reinforcements of the cut-cancels. This is very clean faced with the engraved details and signatures very clear. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $9400.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18593. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Houston, TX - Government of Texas $1 Dec. 10, 1838 Cr. H14A, Olson 525, Medlar 55. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. This is a very scarce denomination from the second issue, Government of Texas series note. The first series of Texas notes were engraved in the East at Draper, Toppan, Longacre & Co. The interesting vignette beneath the arced title shows Moneta seated on the ground next to a lion. At the left end, between ONE counters, is an oval portrait of America, with Stars and Stripes shield, the five-pointed star surrounded with small stars, and capped liberty pole. With the secretarial signature of Sam Houston. Cross Cut Cancels are sealed with small back hinge repairs. Noted as "Cross-Cut Cancelled" and "Hinge Repaired Cancellations." The face is very broadly margined, though the paper is a uniformly toned. A difficult note to find much finer. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $7637.50.

- Houston, TX - Republic of Texas $50 Jan. 15, 1838 Cr. H8, Olson 476, Medlar 39. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. A virtually complete and wholesome $50 Republic of Texas "Star" note. Very sharply printed and bright with the strong secretarial signature of Sam Houston. This note is similar in design to the last. The denomination, just slightly below the center, shows a more sophisticated, drop-shadowed type style. The counters to either side of the star are also more complex. Noted with "CCC; Edge Splits, Tears, and Minor Damage; Tape Repaired Edge Splits and Cancellations." This note is superior to the $20 "Star" note we sold in Newman Part VI for $4,700. The paper has considerable body and the back repairs consist of small hinges. A very attractive note overall, and a strong representative of this historic series. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $5875.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18591. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Houston, TX - Republic of Texas $5 Dec. 15, 1837 Cr. H1, Olson 440, Medlar 27. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. This is the lowest denomination from the first series of Republic of Texas notes authorized by the Texas Congress Act of June 9, 1837. Notes were payable twelve months from issue date and yielded 10% interest per their obligation. Henry Smith, Secretary Treasurer at that time, served as the first Governor of the Provisional Government of Texas in 1835. He lost the election for the first presidency of the Republic of Texas to Sam Houston, but actually garnered more votes than Stephen F. Austin. This has a secretarial signature of Sam Houston (notice the similarities to Houston's designated signer William G. Cooke's signature on the back). Printed on white rag paper without an imprint for this series and type. The common style for the series is used. At the top center, a five-pointed Texas Star is flanked by a "5" counter at the left and "V" counter at the right, in widely spaced cartouches. Dizzying ornamental pattern ends and top engraving add to the appeal. This is "Cross Cut Cancelled" (CCC), as most often seen. Noted with "CCC; Pieces Missing at Left; Splits and Tears; Tape Repaired Edge Splits and Cancellations." Large pieces are missing from two corners, impacting the engraved end. However, the rest of the note is intact and projects boldly. This is a collectible example of a historic type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2115.00.
