- Athens, GA - Georgia Rail Road & Banking Co. $10 18__ GA-10 G26. Proof. PCGS Choice New 63. This is a rare series and choice India paper on card proof by Underwood, Bald, Spencer & Hufty. The original 1833 charter was for a railroad headquartered in Athens. That charter was amended in 1835 to allow for the company to operate a bank, and in 1840 the company's headquarters was moved from Athens to Augusta. The main vignette at top center shows a double-decker passenger train rolling down the tracks past a farmhouse; a detail from the picture appears at the right end in an oval frame between identical "10" counters on lathe work. The left end panel shows a perpendicular TEN on a background that resembles carved scrollwork. This is a great rarity and the Alan Dorris collection note we sold in the 2015 FUN Signature sale in January realized $2,820 graded PCGS About New 58PPQ. Noted as "Hole Punch Cancelled" and "Mounted on Cardstock" by PCGS. This is stylish, very rare and important. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2585.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18287. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Tallahassee, FL - State of Florida $50 Jan. 1, 1865 Cr. 42, Benice 37. PCGS New 62 Apparent. This is the final State of Florida series authorized by Chapter 1463, and all notes from it are rare. They were printed on the backs of leftover 1864 Keatinge & Ball color notes. This particular note was printed on the back of the $1 notes, showing half of each position. The quaint face plate created for this emergency issue makes it a distinctive series. At top center, a steamship plies calm waters. Obligations at each end are enclosed in cartouches. The note was signed by the treasurer and governor. There were 800 notes printed, and researcher Ron Benice rates this as Rarity-6 (12-30 known); these are scarcer than $100 notes from the series. This Uncirculated note had some brittle edges at the top as often seen on this series. It is a little ragged at the top left and has some hinges along the back for stabilization. This is noted by PCGS as "Edge Damage and Tape Repairs." The overall eye appeal is excellent, and this is a difficult note to obtain. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $2585.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18286. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Tallahassee, FL - Territory of Florida $5 July 15, 1830 Cr. T11, Benice 9. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. A very scarce note from the second territorial series printed from the engraved plates by N. & S.S. Jocelyn, New Haven. Among the Criswell-Shull listed Southern States issues, it is quite distinctive due to its early, 1830-period dates, and engraved classical style. At top center, Mercury raises his right hand, as if to greet the viewer. To his left is a small portrait of Walter Raleigh. At the left end, in a rectangular frame between oval lathe work, is standing Liberty holding a capped liberty pole as she rests her elbow on top of a large "5." At right, "V" counters are in the upper and lower corners with a perpendicular FIVE on oval lathe work in between. Note the low serial number 28; however, Ron Benice interestingly comments that there were seven number 1 notes known to him when he published his book. The exact rarity of Florida Territory notes in collectors' hands is difficult to determine, but approximately 20-40 notes of each denomination are known. The face is endorsed in blue and the back is endorsed by the auditor. Noted Apparent with "Pen Cancelled" and "Minor Mounting Remnants on Back." The cutting is slightly uneven, but overall this is a splendid Florida Territory type note. The high regard this series has always commanded is proven by its old back pencil code price of "$150." Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $5640.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18285. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Plant City, FL - Hillsboro State Bank Cashier's Check $1 1933 Mitchell & Shafer FL350-1 Remainder. PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ. The 1933 Depression Scrip series is a very broad. This is an extremely rare 1933 Depression period scrip that is known to us only by its listing and mention in Benice's reference on page 177. Several Florida issues, like this, are colorfully printed by H. & W.B. Drew & Co., Jacksonville, and the style is identical to the Babson Park note offered in this sale. The green tint is an apt choice for this Plant City note. Both face and back show a repeating pattern based on the original Florida State Seal: A Native American woman strews flowers; there is a cocoa tree and a steamboat; and the motto "In God We Trust" appears. We have no auction records for a note from this series and it is a Gem note, presumably saved as a sample with three small punch-hole cancels. Although difficult to estimate with precision, it is certain to be well received by this state's avid collectors. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $940.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18284. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Pensacola, FL - Perdido Bay Lumber Co. 25 Cents Oct. 1, 1874 Benice-42. PCGS Fine 15. This is an exceptional and possibly unique Florida scrip note. It is the Benice plate note illustrated on page 125 and was credited to contributor Daniel Cassidy, who had a photo from Eric P. Newman when he wrote his Florida currency history. We have never seen another example, and even the great Freeman collection lacked this issuer. Stacks of lumber on every flatbed car on the train serve to promote the image of a busy and successful enterprise. The "P" of the curving title is ornate. An engraved signature and red stamped serial number 14 are on this small format note. The back is filled with dazzling green lathe work. The scrip was used by this large lumber outfit for payroll and noted in the obligation. This note will certainly elicit great attention as it is offered for the first time after decades of residing in the Newman Collection. This is one of the greatest private scrip notes from the entire state: a real treasure. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $7050.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18283. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Pensacola, FL - Bank of Pensacola $3 May 4, 1840 FL-50 G12a, Benice 18. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 PPQ. The third series, like the first, was engraved by Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, New-York and is especially well crafted. This is very choice and a superb example. Using the clouds to support his weight, Archimedes (in the guise of Atlas), at top center, uses a mountain peak as a fulcrum to lever the world. Moneta (cited also as Providence and Peace) is featured in the center of the left end panel between downward facing "3" counters. At right, between THREE above and "3" below is standing Proserpine leaning on a pillar showing a "3" while holding a sheaf of wheat. A Native American paddling a canoe is at the base. Crisp and vibrant, exceptionally well framed all around and with the appearance of Choice Uncirculated. The finest we have seen. This is a remarkable ambassador of the 1830s period banknote artistic craft. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1057.50. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18282.
