- Farmerville, LA - Parish of Union, Louisiana $2 June 28, 1862. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. The Parish of Union notes are exemplary rarities from the genre, and this narrower format series is no exception. An important and extremely rare type. Printed on brown paper and without imprint. The simple vignette above the title shows a locomotive pulling a car brimming with consumer goods followed by a double decker passenger car. Obligations are across the bottom center with written date; the "1862" is engraved. The fancy border is rounded at the corners with circular accents. The red countersignature is vertical across the face. This is from the same series as the $10 note sold in 1991 by R.M. Smythe & Co., at that legendary Parish note sale, for $1,430. It is the only auction record we have for comparison. The margins are bit narrow all around. Noted with "Minor Mounting Remnants on Back," an inconsequential fact that is overshadowed by the esteemed rarity of this Parish issuer and type. This note will certainly become a treasure of an elite collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $5170.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18328.

- Farmerville, LA - Parish of Union, Louisiana $2 June 6, 1862 overwritten May 1862. PCGS Very Fine 25. The Parish of Union is one of the rarest Parish note issuers, and this is a significant offering. Amazingly, the Newman Collection contained six different notes from this key location, including a previously unpublished quartet of denominations from an unknown series. This $2 is the last piece available from that set of wide format notes with overwritten dates. Printed on local brown paper without imprint. A steamboat vignette is at the center above the title. Titles and obligations are across the center, and the date is partially overwritten to "June 6" from the crossed out engraved "May" on the plate. An ornamental border is all around with circular accents at the rounded corners. Fully issued and countersigned very lightly across the face in red vertically at the center. This is an Exceedingly Rare note. The Parish of Union June 28, 1862 $10 narrow format series type sold in the November 1991 Smythe & Co. Sale #100 Parish Collection sale realized a resounding $1,430 (on its $450-Up estimate). This note and the two to follow are beautifully preserved for this genre of Civil War currency. And they present a great opportunity. The three notes offered from the series in Newman Part VI generated inspired competitive interest: the $1 realized $3,290; the $3 sold for $6,463; and the $5 brought $7,638. All were graded PCGS Very Fine and possessed the eye appeal of the notes cataloged here. This sale represents a final, tremendous opportunity to bid upon one of the great Louisiana Parish series and notes. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $4465.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18327. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Columbia, LA - Parish of Caldwell, La. - $3 Sept. 10, 1862. PCGS Very Fine 30. The superior grade Parish of Caldwell notes in the Newman Collection were noted for their importance by The New Orleans attorney and numismatist who formed the comprehensive Parish note collection sold in Smythe's Sale #100 in November 1991. He had corresponded with Eric and shared research on the series. Very few Parish of Caldwell notes were known prior to 1991, making the Newman notes key rarities. However, at that time, a small group of mostly blue paper Caldwell notes appeared, creating a temporary supply (though several had condition flaws) for eager collectors. The choice Newman examples, almost 25 years after that cache of Caldwell notes was dispersed, are still significant. There were less of these brown paper series notes in that group. This example shows wide margins. The size and design style are like the others in this series. Above the title is a train vignette, with the numerical denomination at both sides. Double lines form the top and bottom borders. Cartouches are at both ends and have the textual denominations perpendicular facing inward. Very boldly inked on strong paper. One of the finest seen examples and, with increasing interest in Parish note collecting, we expect to see strong competition for this lovely $3 note. The mentioned discovery has long since become a part of paper money history. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2585.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18325.

- Clinton, LA - Town of Clinton $5 June 21, 1862. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. The dollar denominations from Clinton are in a larger format, like period banknotes. This is an exceptional looking June 21, 1862 note with the thin, translucent paper exhibiting great integrity. (The $2 denomination is printed on thicker white paper without imprint.) The printing is deep and contrasts with the well-penned signatures. At top center, flanked by "V" and "5," a large fountain with a sculptural stylized dolphin pedestal spills water onto the ground. At the center of the left end panel seated Commerce appears at a wharf. The right end panel is dominated by a large "5". Textual counters are in all four corners. Noted with "Minor Restorations," and we will stress that they are minor. This is a rarer type from the several series, and the condition exceptional. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $423.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18324. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Ascension, LA - Parish of Ascension $10 May 1, 1862. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. Particular to Louisiana are their Civil War era Parish or county issue notes. Only Louisiana had this parochial system of necessity currency, which grew out of French Catholic localities. The organization by parishes persisted after statehood in 1812. Prior to the Civil War, there were forty-eight note-issuing authorities that are well known by their eager collectors. This May 1, 1862 Ascension series appears to be much scarcer than the 1861 notes. To our knowledge, the highest denomination from this 1862 series and not present in the Smythe Sale #100 Parish sale. Printed on white paper. The three-dimensional looking left-leaning title bisects the anniversary of the treaty information. A large numeral "10" is at the center. Perpendicular textual denominations facing left are in the end panels. A very boldly printed note with only some "Minor Stains" noted; those are at the right end. Signatures are sharp. e believe these are rarer than the December 24, 1861 notes. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $881.25. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18323.
