- Vermilionville, LA - Parish of Lafayette $10 June 24, 1862. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. The Parish of Lafayette notes are also difficult to locate. Like many Louisiana Civil War era notes, these were likely printed locally, and are on thick white paper without imprint. Vermilionville is the old-style name for present-day Lafayette. The elements are all within a pattern border, and a small oak tree vignette is at the top center; a bold face "10" counter is at left, and shaded counter "X" at the right. Detailed obligations are across the center with additional text within the perpendicular cartouches at the lower sides. For pedigree purposes we note, as does PCGS, "Mounting Remnants on Back." The comment refers to a small glue smudge on the blank back, which does not show to the face. This smudge was also present on the $5 example we sold in Newman Part VI; we can conclude the $5 and $10 notes were together for a long time. This is a choice example, very bold, and vastly superior to a raw $5 example with visible toning we sold in September 2008 for $1,840. This Parish type was cited as "Extremely Rare" by the 1991 Smythe Sale #100 catalogers and their example, with some chips missing off the wide edges, realized $687.50. Though some further examples have surfaced over the past two decades, they are rarely offered, and this is a great fit for a well-defined set of Parish note issuers. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $3525.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18369. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Thibodaux, LA - Thompson's Home Exchange, "at his office" $1 Nov. 25, 1861. PCGS Fine 12 Apparent. This is an amazing Louisiana private scrip note from Lafourche Parish. Thompson was apparently a private exchange broker and likely served as banker-financier in the area. Printed on white paper, with all blue inking, and without an imprint. A very nice layout is within pattern borders. The title is well placed in the center flanked by small denomination cartouches; the obligation is underneath. At the top is a very diminutive building vignette, and at the bottom a tiny vignette of a steamboat. End panels are very distinctive with ONE DOLLAR facing outward contained within floral ornamentation. Very boldly signed, dated and numbered. Noted with "Tape on Back; Minor Rust Stains," which, considering the big picture, are meaningless when taking into account the eye appeal and immense rarity. Private scrip of this rarity, outside of New Orleans, is always important to consider strongly. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $423.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18368. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Shreveport, LA - Parish of Caddo $5 December 1, 1862. PCGS Very Fine 20. This Caddo type is the same enactment date, but is a different style. Printed on blue paper with imprint of Gazette Print. Title, denomination and obligation are across the center. The left end has a perpendicular vignette of a train in an oval with fancy ends. The right end cartouche shows the denomination. The treasurer red pen endorsement is perpendicular at the right. The Charlton Meyer note of this type realized $462 at the Smythe sale #156; to add some historical price perspective, that was nearly 19 years ago. Just a little lesser grade than the PCGS Very Fine 30PPQ example we sold for $1,528 at the 2013 FUN Signature auction. This is another excellent Caddo Parish type, and the estimate may prove conservative. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $493.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18367. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Shreveport, LA - Parish of Caddo $1 December 1, 1862. PCGS Very Fine 20. Caddo is one of the harder to obtain Parishes, and this is a high-grade example. Printed on light brown paper without imprint. The denomination is across the center of the note with Gothic title above and obligation underneath. End cartouches show the dues statement at left and the denomination at right. The treasurer red pen endorsement is perpendicular at the right. This is a very choice example. It is much superior to the Charlton Meyer collection note (his home Parish) sold in the Smythe November 1996 St. Louis PCDA Sale #156 for $352 in "Very Good." (The late Charlton Meyer was an esteemed local collector and student of Louisiana Obsolete currency for decades.) A perfect example for a Parish note type set as this is an excellent representative with few rivals. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $493.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18366. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Shreveport, LA - Treasurer of the City of Shreveport $1 May 20, 1862. PCGS Very Fine 30. A superb grade note and rare type. Wide, banknote size format printed on white paper without imprint. An early locomotive pulls open passenger cars at the top center. The title and obligation are across. At bottom is a green protector ONE. At the far left, in a fancy cartouche, is a starless Seated Liberty dime obverse. In the right cartouche is a perpendicular ONE. With some light folds only, but exceptionally vibrant. It has the look of New, which is remarkable considering its large size. The Meyer Collection note of this type, graded "Very Good," sold in the Smythe November 1996 St. Louis PCDA Sale #156 for $286. The Newman example is one of the finest City of Shreveport Civil War era notes we have ever seen. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1292.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18365. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
