    Tahlequah, Indian Territory (OK) -Cherokee Nation - Cherokee Nation Treasury Note $1 June 18, 1862 Cr. CHR N-2, Burgett-6, Durand IT-95. PCGS Very Fine 25. A beautiful $1 note from this interesting May 2, 1862 Act series that evolved from the Cherokee treaty with Brigadier Confederate General Albert Pike, against the advice of Paramount Chief John Ross. A major portion of this treaty was the settlement of the 1846 claims due from Washington in the form of specie ($77,644.36, per Douglas B. Ball's research) and a trove of $172,300 in Confederate treasury notes. Those higher denomination notes, mostly $20, $50, and $100 notes, would help local change needs. The series appears to be locally printed in denominations from 50 cents to $5. The notes were signed by two Ross family members: Lewis Ross, brother of Chief John Ross and uncle of Clerk Joshua Ross, who was a wealthy slaveholder. The notes did not circulate long and most were seized and destroyed in July 1862. Chief John Ross was sent to Baltimore by Union officials. He was replaced by his constant nemesis within the Nation, Stand Watie, as Chief, who was also made a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army. This is a uniface note printed on very thin, translucent rag paper. Without imprint, but now attributed to John Candy in the Shull-Criswell reference. Intricate, ornamental pattern at top and bottom frame lines. End panels at left and right, composed of linked oval ornaments, enclose the denomination ONE DOLLAR in English at the left and translated into the Sequoyah (named for the Cherokee innovator) alphabet at the right. The interesting use of both language styles helped prevent raising the notes' denominations. The bolded numeric denomination is at upper left. The obligation is across, bolded ONE DOLLAR, and its translation in dialect. The additional obligation at the top, "Issued by authority of Law in lieu of Notes of the Confederate States," is continued along the bottom margin, "which are retained in the Treasury for the redemption hereof." Signed by Joshua Ross as clerk and Lewis Ross as treasurer. The Shull-Criswell Rarity 10 (5-15 known) is accurate. This is a superior note and the finest we have seen. The foxed Ford XX note realized $8,625 in October 2007. The Burgett-Schingoethe note sold in July 2006 by Smythe had a rounded top left edge and realized a strong $10,350 (we believe this is still a record price for the issuer). Broad, exceptional margins and near perfect paper quality. An extraordinary note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $12925.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18544. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Tahlequah, Indian Territory (OK) - David Vann, National Treasurer [of the] Cherokee Nation $27.78 Treasury Warrant Act of Nov. 27, 1850, Dec. 2. 1850 Burgett 3 PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. An attractive "1850" engraved Cherokee Nation warrant signed by Principal Chief John Ross. John Ross is a fascinating figure in American history. He traversed decades of our history, from the War of 1812 under Jackson, the "Trail of Tears" expulsion, this period of factional infighting within the Cherokee Nation, and through just after the end of the Civil War. Mostly Scottish and not Cherokee, he had a tobacco plantation worked by twenty slaves. The style is similar to others from the issuer. Printed on white paper and oversize compared to banknotes of the day. Borders are ornate. End patterns are wider and a different style from the top and bottom narrower borders. A serial block replaces the small plow vignette at the upper left. Obligations are across with space for filling in for issuance. Titles are deftly concealed into the inside of the end borders. Shull-Criswell Rarity-10 (11 to 15 known). Endorsed on the back as paid. Noted with "Minor Rust Stains on Back at Right." The face is vibrant and well margined. The Chief John Ross vanity signature is elegant. This is an important Native American signature and Southern States currency item. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1762.50.

    Tahlequah, Indian Territory (OK). - David Vann, National Treasurer [of the] Cherokee Nation $50.00 Treasury Warrant Act of Dec. 8, 1845, Dec. 8, 1850 Cr. CHR45-1, Burgett-UNL. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. This National Treasurer of the Cherokee Nation is an unconfirmed type in Shull-Criswell and unlisted in Burgett. We will draw the conclusion that this is an extremely rare type. Not signed by John Ross; it is signed and issued by George Lowery as "Acting Principal Chief Cherokee Nation." Printed on white paper and oversize compared to banknotes of the day. The borders are ornate. End patterns are wider and a different style from the top and bottom narrower borders. A small plow vignette is at the upper left. Obligations are across with space for filling in for issuance. Titles are deftly concealed into the inside of the end borders. The type is unconfirmed in Shull-Criswell; therefore, the assigned rarity rating is only a supposition. Noted with "Rust Stain at Top Left." Serial No.11. Very deep embossing and bright. An important type and fascinating warrant. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1175.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18542.

    Fort Gibson, C.N. Indian Territory (OK) - F.H. Nash 50 Cents May 2, 1862 Burgett-6. PCGS Fine 12 Apparent. This is another prize Indian Territory Civil War scrip note. Like the Boggy Creek, Western Arkansas note from the Newman Collection, this is the only reported example and the Burgett plate note. The style is remarkably different from the earlier April 8, 1862 issue. It is printed on brown rag paper without imprint, bit it is smaller size. Pattern borders are around, wider at the ends and narrower at top and bottom. The location, date and obligation are across the center. "Redeemable in Confederate Notes," is across the center. Nash's clearly-penned name is on a shaded scroll. This note is missing from all the major territorial collections we have researched, including Ford and Schingoethe. Noted with "Small Internal Splits." A remarkable note with no equal discovered in the 36 years since the Maurice Burgett reference was published by the Society of Paper Money Collectors. The estimate is difficult because the note is priceless. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $4700.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18541.

    Fort Gibson, C.N. Indian Territory (OK) - F.H. Nash $1 April 8, 1862 Burgett-3. Durand IT-36. PCGS Fine 15. The F.H. Nash notes are interesting Cherokee Nation scrip and were redeemable at two merchants in Arkansas. The Nash notes were directly related to the Mayer's Brothers issues from Fort Smith, Arkansas and White & Hanley notes from Van Buren. The style suggests they may have been printed at Fort Smith. Florian H. Nash was a merchant and sutler at Fort Gibson (it was named for Col. George Gibson), which had been abandoned by the United States in 1857. The Confederate Army reactivated it in 1861. This note series was payable only at Van Buren and Fort Smith, unlike some of the Mayer's Brothers notes which were payable at up to four locations. A typeset note printed on brown rag paper without an imprint. It has ornate end borders with a double-line frame used at the top and bottom. The location and date are at the upper right. Obligations are across the note. The upper left shows a bolded "$1," and across the center is a bolded ONE DOLLAR. The small print near the top edge reads "Redeemed at White & Hanley's, Van Buren, and Mayers & Bro., Fort Smith, Ark." The Nash signature is very nicely accomplished. A superbly printed note and superior to both notes sold in Ford XX. This is very boldly printed, fully margined with an extra wide selvage at the far right. One the finest notes we have seen from Nash. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1527.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18540.
