    描述:
    Boggy Depot, (Choctaw Nation, I. T., Western Arkansas) - Reuben Wright 50 Cents Jan. 1, 1862 Burgett 2, Durand-UNL. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. A historic and unique territorial period scrip that is arguably the greatest of all Oklahoma-Indian Nation notes. This is the Burgett Plate Note, and we have not seen another example from the series. The note is fascinating on several levels and expresses a rich narrative. This is the only scrip we have seen with the designation "Western Arkansas." The Confederate theatre during the Trans-Mississippi Department era crossed the borders of what would become several American states after the Civil War. Boggy Creek, a trading center and active community, was strategically located between the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. The Choctaws, Chickasaws and the Confederacy made a treaty in July, 1861 that formed a district with Boggy Depot as the seat. The note itself is printed on brown rag paper and its overall style is similar to some Mayer Brothers notes from Arkansas. The upper left has the 50/100 fraction. Location and engraved date are at the upper right. The Gothic denomination "Fifty Cents in Merchandise" is across at top center, with the rest of the obligation beneath. Highlighted, toward the bottom, is the bolded CONFEDERATE NOTES, for which the notes could be redeemed. The note was not signed on the face, but the issuer name REUBEN WRIGHT appears at lower right in all capital letters. The most fascinating diagnostic of this note is that the end panels are formed by an interesting pattern. Perpendicular at the left is JEFF. DAVIS, /PRESIDENT and at the right, ALEX. H. STEPHENS, /VICE PRESIDENT. The patriotic reference to the Confederate Executive branch would certainly communicate loyalty. The blank back is countersigned by Reuben Wright. Wright was an important and wealthy man at the beginning of the War. A New Englander, he established the store at Old Boggy and accumulated much of his fortune in trading establishments located at Skullyville and Doaksville in the eastern part of the Choctaw Nation. He had a considerable gold stockpile from supplying the Chickasaw Nation with provisions for their academies. Since he was a "Yankee," the Confederates wanted him and his gold. He knew to leave promptly and return to the North. He hid the gold within layers of deerskins and headed overland, south to Galveston, with an armed guard where they ran the blockade successfully and he returned home. Noted with "Repairs; Pieces Replaced" and the "Burgett Plate Note" on the encapsulation. The overall appearance is superb and this is of the highest rarity, considered Unique. A museum piece and riveting Confederate era scrip note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $5170.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18539.

    Armstrong Academy, Indian Territory (OK) - Choctaw Nation - Choctaw Treasury Warrant $2.50 March 1, 1863 Cr. CHOC3, Burgett 3, Durand IT-3. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. This is an extremely rare, key Armstrong Academy denomination and the first we have cataloged. The type was not in the Ford XX collection sale. Ford obtained many of his Indian Territory notes directly from Maurice Burgett, author of the reference book Indian Territory: Obsolete Notes and Scrip, J. L. Hargett, or Amon Carter, Jr. (who got his some of his notes from Burgett). Printed on yellow rag paper, without an imprint, using a local typeset style in black. The style is similar to the other denominations in the series. A double line border encloses the texts and obligations, the denomination TWO DOLLARS and FIFTY CENTS is across, and a pattern is at the left end. The lower left has a small "$2.50" and "1 1 oooo" counting device (note the "1" = one dollar and the "o" represented a bit or 12-1/2 cents). Signed at lower right by J. Riley as the "National Secretary of said Nation." Official face endorsement with diagonal signature across the left of "S.[amuel] Garland/P. C. C. N." and redeemed noted by written "Paid" vertically right of center. No. 573/No.1. This was reissued in 1865 with proper back endorsements and reissued notations: "Reissued per act/Oct 17 1865 with/five percent interest from this date" and signed by "Allen Wright/Natl Treas," the endorsements matching known examples of other denominations. Extremely Rare and with a Shull-Criswell Rarity 11 (2-4 known) rating. This is the key denomination from the series and missing from major collections including the mentioned Ford and the Ball-Richmond 1987 NASCA-Smythe sale. The Shull-Criswell plate note is from the Oklahoma Historical Society. Noted with "Small Edge Splits and Minor Damage." A bright note with excellent eye appeal. This may be the only example available to collectors and has been in the Newman Collection for several decades. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $5170.00.

    Armstrong Academy, Indian Territory (OK) - Choctaw Nation - Choctaw Treasury Warrant $1 March 1, 1863 Cr. CHOC2 , Burgett 2, Durand IT-2. PCGS Very Fine 20. The Confederate period Indian Nations notes are tangible reminders of this lesser known military theatre during the Civil War. Confederate Currency scholars and collectors have studied these series and Eric Newman has been greatly interested their history. The Choctaw Nation pieces are well known and collected in the Southern States canon with Criswell-Shull numbers. The Armstrong Academy was founded in 1845 by the Baptist Mission. Four denominations were printed on different colored paper to help differentiate them. Printed on light blue rag paper, without an imprint, using a local typeset style in black. A double-line border encloses the texts and obligations. The denomination ONE DOLLAR is across, with a pattern at the left end. The lower has a small "$1" and "1" counter. Signed at lower right by J. Riley as the "National Secretary of said Nation." Official face endorsement with diagonal signature across the left of "S.[amuel] Garland/P. C. C. N." and redeemed noted by written "Paid" vertically down center. No. 80/No.1. The back is blank and the note was not reissued in 1865. Rare and with a Shull-Criswell Rarity 10 (5-15 known) rating. The majority of $1 notes observed by us are not reissued, and this may explain their lesser rating compared to other denominations. An appealing example from this seldom offered series of historically fascinating American paper money. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1057.50.

    Springfield, OH - Springfield Bank $1 18__ OH-400 (G6) UNL, Wolka 2452-01 Proof. PCGS Choice New 63 Apparent. There are very few American Bank Note Company imprint color proofs from Ohio, making them a very rare class. The Springfield Bank was one of Ohio's so-called "Free Banks" and this is noted on the proof at the base. This title was one of a very few that created attractive and distinctive $1, $2, and $3 designs by the American Bank Note Company, as opposed to more generic "State Stock Bank" styles. The bank eventually became he First National Bank of Springfield, charter number 238, in February, 1864. This India paper proof is unlisted. It shows a green guilloche along the bottom and bold green counter surrounds at the top corners. In the wide farm scene at top center, a woman is milking a cow. A woman's portrait is at lower right. Noted as "Hole Punch Cancelled" as made and with "Mounting Remnants on Back" at the top corners. This green color Springfield Bank color proof was not in the comprehensive Wendell Wolka Ohio collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1527.50.
