  • Lot 20196

    Descripción:
    United States of America � Elgin, IL - $20 1875 Fr. 431 The Home NB of Elgin Ch. # 2016. PCGS Fine 15. A newly reported note and first public offering. This type is difficult to procure from any state, and early First Charter and 1875 Series $20 notes are underrated rarities. The later notes from the Home National Bank are encountered, but the earliest notes are extreme rarities. This is the first reported 1875 $20 and one of only four First Charter or 1875 notes known from the bank. This is the first of those four to appear publicly since an 1875 $10 sold in our predecessor 1992 CAA auction. Like all First Charters, a magnificently designed layout. The left end's fierce Battle of Lexington scene, based on Theodore A. Lishler's painting, was engraved by Joseph I. Pease. The right end allegory of Loyalty was engraved by Alfred Jones. The backs on this issue were conceived from paintings in the U. S. Capitol. The Baptism of Pocahontas was painted originally by John G. Chapman and engraved by Charles Burt. No. 3025. Plate A/ E745732. This is a problem-free example that is exceptionally attractive. Ample face margins are on three sides; only the bottom is tight. The vivid green back's central back vignette is intricately detailed. A prize note for a specialized Illinois Nationals collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20196, realized $5040.

  • Lot 20195

    Descripción:
    United States of America � Fr. 1108 $100 1914 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS About New 53 Apparent. A bold and well-printed $100 blue seal Chicago district Federal Reserve Note. The face shows a profile portrait of Benjamin Franklin in an oval frame. The appealing vignette on the back features Labor, Plenty, America, Peace, and Commerce as they were originally drawn by Kenyon Cox. The engraver was G.F.C. Smillie. Interestingly, that design was intended for all of the U.S. small-size denominations. There are some "Minor Stains" noted, but observed more from the back. This example faces up nicely and is evenly margined. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20195, realized $2160.

  • Lot 20194

    Descripción:
    United States of America � Fr. 278 $5 1899 Silver Certificate. PCGS About New 53PPQ. One of the most popular United States type notes. This was the first central vignette of a Native American on United States currency. Engraved by G.F.C. Smillie, the stern portrait of Chief Takota-Inyanka (as referred in Chambliss, page 98) is also known as Running Antelope. However, he is shown wearing a Pawnee headdress (instead of Sioux, as that would have been too tall for the allotted space on the face). Intricate framing is all around, and the color of the blue seal and "V" protector are riveting. The green back is vibrant. Just lightly handled, and a premium example of this classic American currency note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20194, realized $3960.

  • Lot 20193

    Descripción:
    United States of America � Fr. 269 $5 1896 Silver Certificate. PCGS Very Fine 20. The 1896 Educational series is one of the most beautifully engraved currency issues. Four denominations were proposed, but only three were issued: $1, $2, and $5. A vast majority of American collectors consider this iconic type to be the highlight of the engraver's art. Its powerful design holds tremendous eye appeal. The central vignette, adapted from a painting by Walter Shirlaw and engraved by G.F.C. Smillie, shows Electricity Presenting Light to the World. The green back also exemplifies superb security and artistic printing and displays Grant and Sherman portraits at the ends. In the center is an allegorical winged America. A scarcer Friedberg number compared with the more available Fr. 268. A very well-centered, lightly circulated note that is perfect for a typeset. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20193, realized $2640.

  • Lot 20192

    Descripción:
    United States of America � Fr. 214 $10 1879 Refunding Certificate. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. Essential for all Federal currency type sets is this scarce and distinctive one-year Friedberg type. The 1879 Refunding Certificates were printed in an unusual size format compared to other notes printed by the BEP. The obligation on this interest-bearing instrument was also unusual because it was continuous. At the time, they were actually a circulating bond although the average person in 1879 may not have noticed the interest clause. However, banks would retain them for the interest that accrued at four percent with no definite redemption date. This provided a strong inducement to hold the notes rather than cash them in. The payment of interest was stopped by Congress in 1907, and the final redemption value set at $21.30. This induced the banks to redeem the ones they held. There is only a noted "Repaired Edge Split at Top Center." The seal is slightly faded, but this is an excellent midrange-grade note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20192, realized $2280.
