    United States of America - Fr. 16c $1 1862 Legal Tender. PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent. Their redemption in gold and their use as payment for custom duties made the Demand Notes "hard" money. The Union required funds for their war effort and fiat money was essential; that necessitated the creation of the subsequent Legal Tender notes with the clause on the back: "... Legal Tender for all debts Public and Private Except Duties on Imports and Interest in the Public Debt ..." Because of that clause, these circulated at a discount compared to hard money at the time. This is a classic $1 "greenback" with a portrait of Salmon P. Chase, their architect, at the upper left. Printed by the National Bank Note Company with exceptional security devices, from the Cyrus Durand patents, making them essentially impossible to counterfeit. In green are the die at the left and the wide green guilloche at the right end. The green circular die at bottom center had the vertically stacked "1 2 3" which would serve as an anti-raising measure. On this type, the "1" is outlined to identify the denomination. Note also, the "3" in anticipation of this denomination (of which only essays were prepared) commonly used in the Obsolete banknote-issuing era. Series 262. Plate D27. Noted with some "Minor Stains," which are confined to the edges. The green guilloche on the back is vibrant. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20190, realized $1320.

    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.

    Confederate States of America -Developmental Essay Proof for Straker & Sons $500 Chemicograph Back Design. PCGS Very Choice New 64 Apparent. The final of seven exemplary and historic S. Straker & Sons developmental proofs from the Newman Collection. Six were sold in the Newman Part VIII sale, and this $500 proof is a fascinating example. Not only is it lacking some design details used on the finished proposed back by the Straker firm, but it has a major spelling error across the title block: CONFFDERATE. Printed from the master plate for the $500 back ordered by the Confederate States of America. Like the others from the Newman Collection, a deep impression proof struck directly to card using the patented process, but without imprint (seen on the later reprints made for sale to collectors). The card measures approximately 30.cm by 22.cm, and the printing within is 19 cm by 8 cm, with the visible plate embossing delineating the margin. Printed in black and white. Like the other denominations, the style is similar in layout. At the center is an angel with very long, outstretched wings. Her robe is flowing, and she is balanced daintily on the globe (very faint continental details are visible). Flanking her at the bottom are a cannon and army equipment at left and an anchor and naval equipment at right. Both ends show 500 DOLLARS. There are four "500" counters that mirror across the note. The title block across, THE CONFFDERATE - STATES OF AMERICA, is bisected by the main vignettes. A very advanced plate, but lacking some details in the wings and around the bottom vignettes when compared with reprinted notes from finished plates made for collectors. Noted with, "Repaired Edge Tear at Right" which is in the card, but ceases at the deeply embossed printing margin. All Confederate proofs are extremely rare. These are very seldom offered for sale, and the six different examples in Newman Part VIII were bid upon avidly. This is the highest denomination from the series, has the fascinating plate anomaly, and is tremendously attractive. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20188, realized $4800.

    Philadelphia, PA � Tanner, Kearny & Tiebout "Specimen of an Improved Method of Engraving Bank Notes" Advertising Specimen Note Undated (Ca. 1817-1822). PCGS Choice New 63. This three-partner imprint was very short-lived, but in that period the firm engraved and printed some beautiful banknotes. Eric's interest in the imprint was due to their engraving and printing of notes for the Bank of Edwardsville (Haxby Bank IL-220). The bank created small change denominations (cf. Newman Part VIII: lot 28228) and dollar-denominated notes. Some of these used a custom vignette of a pastoral view, apparently based on a period sketch of the (Thomas) Kirkpatrick Mill. The scene was accurate for the period the notes were printed (circa 1820), with the mill placed in the correct location relative to the ridgeline and Cahokia Creek. The imprint itself is a bit enigmatic. It did not merge with another banknote engraving firm, which was common practice. Instead, its three principals went into independent pursuits when the trio dissolved in approximately 1820. Benjamin Tanner may have studied with Peter Maverick and created some large plate engravings of War of 1812 scenes. Francis Kearny, supposedly the nephew of hero Commodore Lawrence, went back into private engraving in 1820. Cornelius Tiebout studied in London with James Heath. However, his lucrative income from engraving was squandered in land speculations in Kentucky after relocating there. An India paper proof, printed to thin, wide margined card stock by Rogers & Estler (their imprint under the frame line). A diaphanously clad woman is seated at the shore holding a banner reading "Speramus piacere." In the background are a ship and a farm. Flanking are oval dies with "T.K.& T." left and "B.N.E." at right. Titles are across with a sample imprint at lower left; all done in various fonts and sizes. Intricate ends show PATENT at left and PHILADLELPHIA at right. A handsome layout and design. The penciled notation on the back, "[?] folio/Oct. 1815" is of unknown origin. Rarely encountered, in choice condition, and one of the earliest engraving company sample notes known. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20187, realized $600.
