- Preston, MN - Fillmore County Bank $1 18__ MN-103 G2, Hewitt B480-D1a. Proof. PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ. This is a rare county title bank represented mostly by proofs today. Like the Bank of Owatonna, the bank issued notes very briefly and left note holders with heavily discounted paper, redeemed eventually by the State Auditor for 20 cents on the dollar using railroad bonds that secured the circulation (however, only two issued notes were known in 2006, both plated in Hewitt). A strikingly executed $1-$1-$2-$5 plate was engraved at the American Bank Note Company. This $1 India paper proof mounted on cardstock is the last available from the Newman Collection. Farm work is depicted with realism in the vignette at top left. The boy, with switch ready, pulls on the horse's harness while the man pushes the plow behind. To the right of top center are a number of fowl: roosters, hens and chicks. At lower right, an oft-seen image of a young woman with her hair in ringlets. Counters on lathe work are in the other corners, with ONE at lower left and "1" at upper right. This is a stunning, virtually perfect proof without protector; the margins are even and wide. Noted as "Hole Punch Cancelled" and "Mounted on Cardstock" as made. The other $1 proof impression from the sheet, a PCGS Superb Gem New 68PPQ, realized $5,405 in the Newman Part VI sale. A magnificent proof. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2056.25. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18425. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Owatonna, MN - Bank of Owatonna $5 18__ MN-100 G2, Hewitt B460-D5. Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64. The Bank of Owatonna's lack of banking success yields ample notes for today's collectors, both as proofs and issued bills. It took less than a year for the bank to refuse its circulation, eventually leading the State Auditor's office to pay less than 21 cents on the dollar for leftover bills. A beautiful $5-$5-$5-$10 plate was prepared by the American Bank Note Company for the series with an additional imprint of Jocelyn, Draper, Welsh & Co. (or JDW). A choice India paper proof mounted on original cardstock, this "C" position is certainly an example of the eight proofs listed in the 2006 census. Attractively designed from the JDW vignette catalog, a rather jaunty looking lumberman stands casually next to the tree he has just felled. Numeric counters are in the upper corners. Oval vignettes of children and animals are in the lower corners: at left, a girl holding a hen and chicks; at the lower right is Child with Rabbits, adapted from the art of Solomon Nunes Carvalho. The artist was a Sephardic Jew from Charleston who traveled on the fifth John C. Fremont Western expedition and spent time with the Mormons, including Brigham Young. Noted as "Hole Punch Cancelled" and "Mounted on Cardstock" as made. An identical grade example in Newman Part VI realized $1,116. Gorgeous style and high quality. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $540.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18424. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Northfield, MN - Bank of Northfield $1 18__ MN-98 G2, Hewitt B440-D1. Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64 Apparent. The Bank of Northfield $1 proof offered here is the fourth and final denomination from a series engraved and printed by the American Bank Note Company using vignette dies and elements from a few of their predecessor firms, but with a Wellstood, Hay and Whiting layout style and tint configuration. The bank never opened for business or issued notes. This lovely India paper proof mounted on its original cardstock is the Hewitt plate note. The orange tint frame and micro-lettered panel across is stirring, with a darker frame on the bottom and dark counter at the upper left. At lower left, an allegorical female sits on the ground next to a shield bearing the denomination. A period farmer holding a sickle supports the shield while seated on a firm-looking bundle of wheat. In the distance at left, a riverboat travels west; at right, farmers herd pigs. A stunningly crafted color proof and the only known proof printed by the ABN in the period. The series and type are also known in "Modern Proprietary" form, printed using the archived plate and tint set with a special process directly to textured cardstock. This proof should not be confused with the above since this is a contemporary proof masterfully using the intaglio process on India paper by the American Bank Note Company. Noted by PCGS as "HPC; Minor Adhesive Residue on Face; Mounted on Cardstock; Hewitt Plate Note." The face residue is at the left and consists of a light smudge. This is bold and beautiful, a superb impression with rich color tint. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $3290.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18423.

- Minneapolis, MN - Minneapolis Bank $5 March 1, 1864 MN-80 UNL, Hewitt B340-D5a. Proof. PCGS Choice New 63. This is the final denomination from the Newman collection four-subject face proof sheet and a choice example. Printed on India paper from the plates engraved by the American Bank Note Company. The head of a girl, adorned by leaves and clusters of grapes is at center under the arced denomination. To her left, a "5" counter, and in the corner a "V" over lathe work; to her right, a "5" counter on lathe work, and in the corner, an arced "FIVE" on a simple background. The detailed vignette at the lower left shows a train with passengers preparing to embark; the locomotive is shown with a cowcatcher. The cartouche at lower right shows a banner reading ETOILE DU NORD (Star of the North, but missing L' and the accent), the state motto dating from 1861. The farmer and Native Americans in the scene are looking northward. Noted as "Hole Punch Cancelled" and "Mounted on Cardstock" as made. This is the only contemporary printed proof known and listed on the census. A superb example and, like the others from this series, exquisite. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2820.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18422. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Minneapolis, MN - Minneapolis Bank $2 March 1, 1864 MN-80-G4a, Hewitt B340-D2b. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. This is a very rare and fully issued $2 note from the bank. The superb face engraving is by the American Bank Note Company. Well regarded by the author, an example of this type is illustrated on the cover of Volume 2 of the Haxby quartet. This issued note has the green security back. The face shows a little girl playing dress-up with pearl necklaces in an oval frame, beneath the curving title and above the arced denomination. Numerical counters are on either side. In the upper corners are "2" counters on lathe work. Sir Edwin Landseer's Monarch of the Glen is at lower left; at lower right, a screaming eagle with wings upraised with wings upraised is perched on a rock, high up in the clouds. The green protector outlines the white TWO. The green back is similar in style to those used on the Thorne's Bank with the obligation "Secured by the Pledge of Public Stocks of the United States" within the central die. Noted with some "Rust Stains," seen more heavily on the back. The paper body and color are excellent. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2820.00.

- Minneapolis, MN - Minneapolis Bank $2 March 1, 1864 MN-80 UNL, Hewitt B340-D2a. Face Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64 Apparent. The Newman collection contained a superb face proof sheet and two issued notes from this important big city bank that became the First National Bank of Minneapolis (charter #710) on June 1, 1865. The bank and its successor redeemed the issued notes at par, and only $660 was recorded as unredeemed in 1870. The bank ordered a $1-$2-$5-$10 face plate from the American Bank Note Company and paired it with a stock security back plate. They only issued $40,000 in notes, showing relative restraint compared to some of the frontier banks. This India paper face proof mounted on original cardstock, without green protector, is the only example reported (though the series and type is known as "Proprietary Modern Proof" made for production studies by the ABN) and was printed in 1864. In an oval frame, beneath the curving title and above the arced denomination is a rather whimsical vignette of a young girl playing dress-up with pearl necklaces. Numerical counters are on either side. In the upper corners are "2" counters on lathe work. Sir Edwin Landseer's Monarch of the Glen is at lower left; at lower right, a screaming eagle with wings upraised is upon a tor. A very bold proof and though Apparent, this is only for some scattered, very trivial foxing noted as "Minor Stains." The noted "Hole Punch Cancelled" is as made, in the India paper only, not through the card. A major rarity, exquisitely engraved with a trio of lovely American Bank Note Company vignettes.
