- Colony of New York October 20, 1739 5 Pounds Fr. NY-108. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. The second small format series note from New York and another very rare series for any denomination. These uniface notes were printed by William Bradford, whose printing contract had been reinstated for this issue. The present example is very strongly printed and has nicely penned signatures. Antique hinge repairs on the back hold the note together, and "Splits, Tears, and Minor Damage; Hinge Repairs on Back" are detailed by PCGS. Only 400 notes were printed, and the only other example we have seen is the Boyd collection Newman plate note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1292.50.

- Colony of New York December 10, 1737 3 Pounds Fr. NY-100. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. This is the first small format series from New York and a historic issue. Uniface and printed by John Peter Zenger, famous for his acquittal in a libel case. Zenger was an important figure who helped shape the concept of freedom of the press and speech in the Colonies. These notes were printed on thin laid paper with elaborate border cuts left and top (by Charles La Roux) and arms at the right. Until the few Boyd collection notes reemerged in 2004-2005 (two extremely worn) at the Ford sales, these were virtually unknown. The last Zenger-printed 1737 note was sold in Stack's 52 Collection Part I sale for $8,050 (5 Pounds, PMG Very Fine 20, Ex: Boyd-Ford III Sale, Lot 615) in June 2010. Although there are some flaws, the note is attractive. Noted as having "Splits, Tears and Minor Damage; Tape Repair on Back." A fascinating Colonial rarity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $1410.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18138. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Colony of New York November 1, 1709 Lyon Dollars Issue 20 Lyon Dollars (13 Oz., 15 Dws.) Fr. NY-12. PCGS Choice About New 55 Apparent. This is the rarest issue of 1709 notes, and it is fascinating. There are very few Lyon Dollar notes known, and we believe there are less than ten of all denominations in private hands (five impressions were in Boyd). Until our April 2015 Newman VI auction, our research had not found any instance of this denomination offered for public sale. Thus, this is one of the key New York Colonial Currency rarities. The issue was backed with 10,000 ounces of silver. Lyon dollars themselves were Dutch "Silver Dollars" which circulated worldwide as trade coins, just as the Spanish Milled Dollars. The rate of 5 shillings 6 pence was pegged to each (Lyon) dollar. There is also an interesting use of multiple denomination equivalents based on weight. There were only 300 notes authorized, and this highest denomination was not in Boyd. The style is similar to the other 1709 notes printed by Bradford, with typeset texts on the face and indent design at the top. There are four signatures, as required, like those appearing on the November 1, 1709 Shilling Issue note. This is a beautiful and well-balanced example. Though Apparent, it has a PPQ note appeal, with minimal handling only. Noted by PCGS as having only a "Small Edge Split at Top Center." In this case, being less than perfect is purely academic. This is an exceedingly rare note and only the second we are aware of: both from the Newman collection. The Boyd collection contained five Lyon dollar notes, a bonanza that is deceptive now, since up to that time there was only one auction record in the modern era for a Lyon dollar note. In our January 2002 FUN auction we sold a four Lyon dollars note, Lot 356 (Serial No. 50, "Very Choice New"), for $37,375. At the time, that was one of the highest prices achieved for a Colonial note (with prices surpassing that number for the two 1690 notes auctioned by Smythe at CPMX at just above $50,000). The Boyd collection had a three-note strip of four Lyon dollars, interestingly serial numbers from left to right 52, 51, and 49; note that the serial number 50 cited above was once part of the uncut horizontal sheet. Boyd also had the only observed 16 Lyon dollars denomination, which had seen some considerable circulation. The first Newman collection 20 Lyon Dollars sold in April 2015 realized $25,850 graded slightly finer at Choice About New 55. This is a fabulous combination of historical significance, highest rarity, and elite Colonial currency pedigree. Another significant offering awaits our bidding audience in this auspicious Newman VII auction sale. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $16450.00.

- Colony of New York May 31, 1709 10 Shillings (b) Fr. NY-2. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. The larger denomination from this very early series, but with a different plate position. The 10 shillings notes were printed alongside the five shillings denomination on the same sheets with two of each running across. The style and layout are the same as on the 5 shillings. As previously, uniface and printed in black by William Bradford, without imprint, on horizontal four-subject sheets. Typeset, with the top block having the indented design. Three very bold, "Dutch" style vanity signatures are seen at the bottom, with Johannes DePeyster's the first and the boldest. There are also two plate positions with different typesetting arrangements. This is the "b" position type with "Shil-lings" split on the first and second lines and the "Governour" spelling near the end of the obligation. Only 500 notes of each 10 shillings plate position were authorized. Like the five shillings, it has the look of a PPQ example, but "Ink Erosion in Signature" is noted by PCGS. Again, this is more than compensated for by the natural paper body and immaculate surfaces. This is another very handsome and bold note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society Realized $4230.00. Newman VII (Heritage Auctions, 10/2015), lot 18136. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
