    United States of America � Fremont, NE - $20 1882 Brown Back Fr. 493 The Fremont NB Ch. # 2848. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. A very rare and early Dodge County, Nebraska note. It is one of only two Brown Backs listed in the National Currency Foundation census and the only $20 denomination. Neither of these have appeared at public auction, making this an excellent opportunity. A handsomely engraved type with the same face layout as the First Charters and 1875 $20 notes. The Battle of Lexington is at the left and Loyalty is at the right end. The brown back shows the charter number in the center. No.1313, Plate A / Y504583. Noted with "Minor Stains" visible mostly on the back. We cataloged and sold only 1902 "blue seals" and small-size notes from this location. This is immensely rarer. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20198, realized $2400.

    United States of America - $2 1864 Spencer Clark Proposed Series for Legal Tender Notes Face Essay Proof Hessler USE10b. PCGS Very Choice New 64. Federal Proofs and Essays are all rare. The earliest ones are especially interesting and in this essay series, concepts of the designs were eventually adopted, but for different notes. A superbly designed series, and the second of three denominations for Legal Tender notes proposed by Spencer Clark in an 1864 report to Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase. The design concepts from this essay series eventually were used on the backs of Original Series National Bank Notes. This is an India paper proof affixed to a pinkish paper new card. Printed by the National Currency Bureau, without an imprint, and with pencil-drawn additions. The full width, progressive version of the Embarkation of the Pilgrims, 1620, is featured, with the two-line penciled title within the vignette. The superb scene adapted from Robert W. Weir's painting (hanging in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol) and engraved by Joseph P. Ourdan for the Bureau is in a preliminary version. It is more detailed in the centers than along the perimeter. The hand-drawn "2" at the upper right was on the next proof version (as plated in Hessler). These essay proofs are exceedingly rare, and this version might be unique. Very distinctive, and a historic proof created in the early days of our National Currency Bureau. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20189, realized $3840.

    Descripción:
    Salt Lake City, UT - Drovers Bank $1 July 1, 1856 UT-5 G2a, Rust 83, Nyholm 138. PCGS New 62 Apparent. This is an iconic W. L. Ormsby engraved type from a mysterious bank that had similarly designed notes in Ft. Leavenworth / Leavenworth City, Kansas. It is a Haxby-listed bank and has always been a popular series with collectors. The face is nearly completely filled with a bucolic scene of highly detailed livestock; titles are at the top and counters are in the corners. The security back shows an orange micro-lettered radiating circle for additional counterfeit protection. The plate B example has a slight plate variation compared with its companion. The upper right die overlaps the word "City," obscuring the end of the word. Noted with: "Small Stains" by grading. A handsome example of this well-conceived series. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20180, realized $960.

    MISSOURI PAPER MONEY [:] Check List of All Specimens in the Collection of Eric P. Newman. Undated Typewritten Manuscript with Annotations. Very Fine. A unique record of Eric's Missouri currency: not a complete record and with some later acquisitions missing, but a very significant work and essential pedigree research tool for paper money specialists and Missouri numismatists. Oblong folio, 29 cm by 23 cm by 2.8 cm thick. Untitled brown simulated leather, with gilt bordering and simulated gilt compartment lines, TyFoFax (by McMillan Book Company) Record Book with retractable post for adding and deleting pre-made pages. Title page, but undated (approximately 1950?). The primary entries are all typewritten on the pages parallel to the binding post (making it an oblong folio) and organized by currency genre from the "Bons, Scrip and Notes Written in Longhand ... ," and continuing mostly in a chronological manner through Territorial notes, Obsolete notes, Scrip, State Notes, Ad Notes, the two St. Louis Demand notes, Missouri National Bank Notes, and St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank Notes and Federal Reserve Notes. Apparently, all (or nearly all) of the initial Missouri currency acquired from "Colonel" Green is listed within, along with the important 1939 D. C. Wismer notes, including all the proofs and issued Obsolete notes and the $10 St. Louis Demand note. There are handwritten additions here and there on some pages or on the back of blank pages (proof sheets formerly from the American Bank Note Company archives for example). There are 63 pages of listings, nearly all typewritten. The remaining pages included are blank. The National Bank Note census, fully articulated with serial numbers and plate letters is immensely important. This record book was integral in the preparation of the Newman part VIII auction catalog, and the ordering of the early Missouri Bons through the Obsolete Currency sections followed this book in the spirit of Eric's collecting organization. The pages are generally clean and bright. There are some cover scuffs and corner rubs; this was a working inventory book in every sense of the word. Please note that this archive, along with many other fascinating records, correspondence, and publications, has been scanned for permanent preservation on the Newman Numismatic Portal. However, there is only one physical example of this archive, and it will certainly augment any Missouri currency collection or numismatic library profoundly. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20163, realized $4800.

    Descripción:
    (St. Louis, MO) � Illinois Savings Bank at St. Louis "on deposit [at]" Burlington, W. T. $5 July 25, 1836 Unlisted Spurious Note. PCGS Very Good 8 Apparent. A mysterious three-state note, and a rare one, but posing many questions. It is very typical of its 1836 time period, creating confusion with multiple locations, small print title detail, and crude production. It is the handiwork of the numerous spurious note magicians that plagued commerce on the frontier, particularly in this period. Eric considered this an illegal branch in St. Louis of an Illinois bank. Seated Agriculture at top center is over the title, and the obligation is below. Identical panels show Jefferson at the center. At the base is a steamboat with BURLINGTON, W.T. arcing above. No. 283. Noted with "Mounting Remnants and Damage; Small Edge Tears." One of the more interesting spurious notes we have seen from the Newman Collection, and one of the rarest. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20157, realized $1320.

    Descripción:
    St. Louis, (M.T.) - Bank of Missouri $20 May 9, 1818 MO-30 G24. PCGS Very Fine 20. A beautiful and rare $20 denomination from this iconic territorial series finely engraved by Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. This series features an iconic, custom-designed vignette and the signature of the co-founder of St. Louis, Auguste Chouteau. Because of the Chouteau signatures, these are also of interest to historical autograph collectors. The vignette befitted St. Louis's paramount role in American commerce during this period. Thomas Jefferson's bust on the banks of the Mississippi is a strong symbol of his role in obtaining the Louisiana Purchase lands from which the Missouri Territory was apportioned in 1812 (when Louisiana achieved statehood). Printed from beautifully crafted plates on red fiber banknote paper. All denominations in the series show a common main vignette with a bust of Jefferson on a pedestal and a capped liberty pole behind, but there are variations of vignette position, style and placement of Jefferson's name, and the use of handwritten or engraved "bearer." On this $20 denomination, the vignette is at upper right, and JEFFERSON is arced above. Barrels, crates, sacks, bales, and beehives are at the shore (Eric refers to them in his note descriptions as "merchandise"). Four ships are at sail in the background. At the horizon are mountain peaks and the radiant sun rising. Titles and obligation are across with "bearer" written rather than engraved. The end panels are similar to other denominations (although with subtle style variations) with TWENTY at the left and MISSOURI at the right. Plate B. No. 404. Signed by Dales as cashier and Aug. Chouteau as bank president. Not endorsed on the back. This is a rare denomination, and the Newman Collection notes were the first we cataloged. There were no denominations from the bank above $10 in Vacca. A problem-free note and underappreciated in comparison with the more frequently seen $5 and $10 denominations. A slightly finer example realized $2,400 in Newman Part VIII in November 2017. A significant, early-dated Missouri banknote. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20145, realized $1680.
