    Salt Lake City, UT - Drovers Bank $1 July 1, 1856 UT-5 G2a, Rust 83, Nyholm 138var. PCGS Extremely Fine 45. This Ormsby-printed $1 note is slightly different than the "B" plate. As previous, the face is almost completely filled with a bucolic scene of livestock; titles are at the top and counters in the corners. The security back shows an orange micro-lettered radiating circle for additional counterfeit protection. The plate A example has a fully visible "City" by the upper right counter; just touching it, but not impinged on. Horizontal folds and some handling are seen. Well margined for this series and type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20181, realized $750.

    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.

    Cheraw, SC - Bank of Cheraw $20 18__ SC-55 G6 SENC, Sheheen 107. Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64. This is a key proof note and one of the rarest from the Newman Collection. The bank operated for a few years only and this $20 A.B. & C. Durand, Wright & Co. imprint thin card proof is SENC in Haxby. The Sheheen plate note is a photocopy of another example (that is plate B). The elegant layout shows circular framed portraits of Washington and Franklin flanking a central die. The upper corners show "20" counters. The lower corners display elaborate vignettes: Greek statesman Solon (with his name inscribed on the plinth) with a stylus and parchment at left with the Capitol in the background; and Franklin, seated on a rock next to a named plinth which he uses as a desk, with lightning flashing in the background. The imprint is cleverly placed upon a banner floating above the base vignette of a cornucopia. Noted as "Pen Cancelled" which consists of short flourishes through the signature blocks. The $50 proof from the series realized $4,230 in Newman VII in October 2015. A superb proof rarity with tremendous condition as well. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20179, realized $3840.

    (Columbia), SC - State of South Carolina $5 Jan. 1866 Cr.-UNL. Essay Proof. PCGS Choice About New 58. Like the $10 essay we sold in Newman VI, this is unpublished in all the Southern States' references, from the 1915 William West Bradbeer book, through multiple Grover Criswell editions, and ultimately to the currently used A Guidebook of Southern States Currency by Hugh Shull (2007, Whitman Publishing). It is a handmade Face Essay Proof in mixed media and is unique. The Essay was created as a proposal for the Reconstruction-period notes that eventually were issued from Columbia with the January 1, 1866, date, and engraved by the American Bank Note Company (Cr. 01-04 types). The Essay Model is a blend of drawing and engraving. The engraved elements are mounted on original cardstock without imprint. This lovely work of art shows an allegorical female standing on top of the world with an eagle in a niche at the left end under a FIVE / 5 counter. There is green tint on the borders and some of the design elements, including the numerical protector at bottom center. The right end shows fancy scrollwork with an oval framed vignette of a palm tree at the shore. The verso of the card is interesting. A contemporary note was written in pencil perpendicularly, at the right end with, "$1050 in this style/f or 10,000 sheets / 4 on a sheet " / being 2 of the % / and 2 " " $10." (the sheet configuration chosen). The origin of the two Essay Model Proof denominations from this Act in the Newman collection is a mystery. It may have been a private proposal to local officials, but the engraved elements are suggestive of a link with the American Bank Note Company, especially with the ordering data on the verso. However, that is impossible to prove without supporting documents. The $10 Essay realized $9,400 in April 2015. Another priceless piece from the Newman Collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20178, realized $2880.

    Westerly, RI � Washington Bank in Westerly 16 Cents/One Shilling Aug. 22, 1800 RI-560 G10, Newman page 403. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. In Obsolete currency, this is arguably the most important odd denomination note extant as it is unique to our knowledge. It was missing from all the major denomination sets including the definitive Schingoethe Collection, which had the 11 Cents / 8 Pence note from this series. The plate note in the Roger Durand "Denominations" volume where it is rated "U" or "Uncollectible." That is the only other known note from this Newman-listed series. Plated on page 403 of the fifth edition. The border around the perimeter is a combination of lines and type ornaments. The denomination "16 Cents." Is at top center with a "W" at left and "B" at the right. A large ONE SHILLING is above the obligation. The signatures of R. Babcock as president and A. Clark as cashier remain strong. Noted with a "Small Hole at the Left" as seen on all plated images of this key piece. The Roger Durand rarity rating, published 30 years ago, will be shattered when the hammer falls upon this unique prize and it joins its next esteemed cabinet. A priceless currency note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20177, realized $1440.

    [Wewoka], Seminole Nation, I.T. � Wewoka Store 10 Cents in Merchandise ND (1870s-1880s) Burgett 2, Durand IT-99. PCGS Fine 15 Apparent. A tremendously rare location and semi-official scrip issued after the Civil War. Wewoka is today the seat of Seminole County, Oklahoma, and the home of the Seminole Nation Museum. The book Notable American Women, 1607-1950 includes a biography of Alice Brown Davis, daughter of Dr. John Frippo Brown of Scotland and a Seminole woman whom he met while traveling with the tribe as a physician during their forcible relocation from Florida. Alice and her husband ran a trading post. The book notes that the Seminole "trading houses conducted the tribal business, the Wewoka store acting as a bank. John F. Brown [who signed the note] acted as chief or advisor to the chief, and a younger brother was tribal treasurer." Printed on thick white paper, without imprint. This charming note has an ornamental border enclosing the denomination at top left and across the center, the obligation, and two asterisks at lower left. The vignette of a Native American woman with a very detailed dress is signed MACKWITZ (likely William Mackwitz). Mohistory.org indicates that William Mackwitz was an early St. Louis engraver and lithographer, and the organization holds sample engraving albums from the 1850s and 1860s. The website askART.com lists him with the vital dates of 1831 to 1919, and states that he was active or located in Missouri and Germany, and that he was known for his wood engravings. This appears to be the Burgett Plate Note. Noted with "Edge and Internal Tears and Hinge Repairs." A distinctive looking scrip and exceedingly rare. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20176, realized $2760.

    Tahlequah, Indian Territory (OK) -Cherokee Nation - Cherokee Nation Treasury Note 50 Cents June 18, 1862 Cr. CHR N-1, Burgett-5, Durand IT-94. PCGS About New 50 Apparent. A remarkable Confederate-era 50 cent scrip note in amazing condition from this interesting May 2, 1862, Act series. Nearly as made, with paper embossing visible, this example is in the finest condition of any denomination we have seen from the historic series. The issue evolved from the Cherokee treaty with Brigadier Confederate General Albert Pike, against the advice of Paramount Chief John Ross. A major portion of this treaty was the settlement of the 1846 claims due from Washington in the form of specie ($77,644.36, per Douglas B. Ball's research) and a trove of $172,300 in Confederate treasury notes. Those higher denomination notes, mostly $20, $50, and $100 notes, would help local change needs. The series appears to be locally printed in denominations from 50 cents to $5. The notes were signed by two Ross family members: Lewis Ross, brother of Chief John Ross and uncle of Clerk Joshua Ross, who was a wealthy slaveholder. The notes did not circulate long and most were seized and destroyed in July 1862. Chief John Ross was sent to Baltimore by Union officials. He was replaced by his constant nemesis within the Nation, Stand Watie, as Chief, who was also made a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army. This is a uniface note printed on very thin, translucent rag paper. Without imprint, but now attributed to John Candy in the Shull-Criswell reference. An intricate, ornamental pattern is at top and bottom. End panels at left and right, composed of linked oval ornaments, somewhat reminiscent of a woven pattern, enclose the denomination HALF DOLLAR in English at the left and translated into the Sequoyah (named for the Cherokee innovator) alphabet at the right. The interesting use of both language styles helped prevent raising the notes' denominations. The numeric denomination is at upper left. The obligation is across, bolded FIFTY CENTS, and its translation in dialect. The additional obligation at the top, "Issued by authority of Law in lieu of Notes of the Confederate States," is continued along the bottom margin with, "which are retained in the Treasury for the redemption hereof." Signed by Joshua Ross as clerk and Lewis Ross as treasurer. The Shull-Criswell Rarity 10 (5-15 known) is accurate. Noted with a "Small Edge Tear at the Top Right" which is not readily seen in the wide margin. That small fault does not discount the fact this is a superior and exceptional note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20175, realized $3840.
