- Charleston, SC - Union Bank of South Carolina $20 Nov. 10, 1859 SC-50 G14, Sheheen 621. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. The Union Bank of South Carolina was founded in 1811. This is an extremely rare issued note from the early style engraved plate by Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. With the exception of a late $5 color protector type from the American Bank Note Company, rare notes from this bank all had earlier styles from that Philadelphia engraving firm. At top center is a seated allegorical female as Commerce and Agriculture. She is holding a razor-thin scythe. Intricate panel ends show TWENTY left and SOUTH CAROLINA right. There are three oval dies, "20" numerals flanking the portrait and an "XX" at the base. The Sheheen Rarity-7 rating (2-4 known) is not assigned frequently. This serial number 16 note matches the signature diagnostics of his plate note. A rusty staple hole expanded and was repaired. This is noted as "Hinge Repaired Hole at Center." An intriguing rarity with the late 1859 date on such an early style printing. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $399.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18574.

- Charleston, SC - Planters and Mechanics Bank of South Carolina $50 18__ SC-25 G36 SENC, Sheheen 338. Proof. PCGS Choice New 63. An early and exceedingly rare Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. engraved and printed India paper proof on cardstock. This South Carolina prize has been in the Newman Collection for decades. We are uncertain how many are known, but the series did not appear in the 1990 American Banknote Company sale, and we believe the Sheheen book plate is a photocopy. At top center, seated Learning, holding an open book, lifts up a cup to the heavens. Ornate end panels show the denomination, at left, and CHARLESTON, at right. This is a well defined intaglio impression. Noted as "Mounted on Cardstock" as made. A highlight from the Newman Collection South Carolina notes. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $3760.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18573. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Charleston, SC - Bank of Charleston $5 18__ SC-10 G2, Sheheen 50. Proof. PCGS About New 53. A very bold India paper proof impression of this iconic Draper, Toppan, Longacre & Co. plate design. The vignette at the right side became the "Indian Princess," adapted for the Confederate States of America $5 Type 35 note. The bank retained their $5-$5-$5-$5 plate for the series it was sent it to Hoyer & Ludwig in Richmond to produce that iconic and rare Confederate type. The seated female at the top center wearing period dress represents Plenty, Commerce, Navigation, and Hope. A thriving harbor is seen in the background. The ends are stylishly complementary. At the left, the prince rests at the riverbank with his elbow on one knee, appearing to wait for his princess, who is pictured at the right end across the river. The vignette pairing does appear on the same Confederate States bond, but only the princess appears on a Confederate currency note. Designated as "Hole Punch Cancelled" as made. We note faint wisps of foxing and handling. This is a superb impression and an essential historic type for Confederate currency collectors to understand the evolution of the notes. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1880.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18572. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Woonsocket, RI - Woonsocket Falls Bank $1 Jan. 1, 18__ RI-90 G50a, Durand 2716. Proof. PCGS Very Fine 30. This is a rare and unusual yellow tinted Toppan, Carpenter & Co. India paper proof. It combines the rarely seen tint color with a custom vignette created for the bank: the scenic falls on the Blackstone River. At the lower left, a blacksmith stands by his forge, arm outstretched as if ready to pick up one of his tools. An oval framed portrait of a wide-eyed young lady with a flower in her hair is seen at the lower right. The full light yellow lace tint covers the note. The outlined ONE across the bottom center is over a pattern of micro-lettered FIVE DOLLARS. Very vibrant, but with some handling folds. These Woonsocket proofs have an air of mystery. They are also seen with pink tinting and we have seen several over the years, most with handling like this. These may have been printed as color tinting samples for potential clients and mailed in small envelopes, explaining the uniform folds. This is a hypothesis that will likely never be confirmed. The color and vignette are certainly beautiful. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $822.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18571.

- Providence, RI - What Cheer Bank $1 Oct. 20, 1863 RI-415 (2c) UNL, Durand-UNL. PCGS Very Fine 35. An extremely rare fully issued note from a quintessential Providence bank title. This American Bank Note Co., New-York note is elegantly crafted. Only this and a $2 issued note plated in the Whitman Encyclopedia from this late series is known to us. The 1902 Providence City Documents recounts the traditional story of Roger Williams and his companions arriving on the banks of the Seekonk River. They were greeted by a Native American man on a hill with the words "What cheer, netop." NPS.gov explains that "netop" is the Narragansett word for "friend." This note shows a Native American man on a hill overlooking a scenic river view. At the lower left, an allegorical female holding a sledgehammer is seated among tools and represents Mechanics and Industry. In an oval frame at lower right, a young lady strikes a thoughtful pose that displays her elegant lace cuff. The green protector outlines ONE. A bright, superb issued note with wide margins. Carefully preserved and an iconic title. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1645.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18570.
