- 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.

- Algiers, LA - T H. Thayer $1 Feb. 4, 1862. PCGS Fine 12 Apparent. This interesting and exceedingly rare Louisiana private scrip note is a highlight from the Newman Collection Louisiana albums. Algiers, situated on the high ground of the west bank of the Mississippi River, has been part of the city of New Orleans since its annexation in 1870. Part of the 1815 Battle of New Orleans was staged from the locale. This Confederate period note was issued shortly before the Union forces arrived there and the rebels destroyed much of the munitions, supplies and other wares at the shipyards. Printed on white paper. At center above a bright red ONE DOLLAR protector is an elaborate cartouche within which is an image of a train traveling along a curved track. End panels show red ONE DOLLAR. Noted are "Repairs"; however, the note is very solid and the signature visible. This is the first we have seen or handled. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1880.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18321. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
