    Descripción:
    Ann Arbor, MI - Bank of Washtenaw, Payable at New York, NY $8 December 9, 1835 MI-50 G30, Lee-ANN-6-19. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. The key from this bank and an odd denomination from this scarcer series of notes from the well-known issuer payable in New York City. The style is classic 1830s, with seated Agriculture at top center flanked by "8" dies. At upper left, a woman in a bower churns butter as milkmaids in the far distance tend to a cow. At upper right, a farmer harvests corn as a windmill turns in the background. Lower corners show VIII blocks. Noted with "Minor Stains." We have handled only three other examples, the last in 2013. All have realized in excess of $1,000. This has a very desirable pedigree and is an appealing odd-denomination note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20124, realized $720.

    Descripción:
    Baltimore, MD- Maryland State Colonization Society 5 Cents Novem. 1837 Shank 5.119.1. PCGS Choice About New 55 Apparent. A rare, signed note from a historic issue of Maryland scrip created for use in Liberia, Africa. The Maryland State Colonization Society (MSCS) began in 1817 as an auxiliary of the American Colonization Society (ACS). In 1827, it formed a distinct state organization with the mission of creating a colony in Africa where they would resettle freed black Maryland residents. The black population in Maryland was greater than that of any other state, and the General Assembly provided financial support for the program from 1832 to 1861, largely due to fear by whites of a black rebellion similar to the one led by Nat Turner in 1831. Some blacks and whites supported the plan as a way for blacks to achieve full rights; others, including the abolitionists, opposed sending blacks to Africa, a country they didn't know rather than integrating them into white society. Maryland County is still in existence in the southeastern part of Liberia, and has its own website: http://www.marylandcountyliberia.org/history.html It appears there are no fully issued, double-signature notes known. However, this is signed at the right by J.[ohn] H. B. LaTrobe as President of the Society. The space for the Liberian Governor is blank. Printed on thin bond paper. According to "Maryland in Liberia; a history of the colony ..." at archive.org, the vignettes appearing on the notes were intended to act as symbols of their worth. The notes were for 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents, and $1; They showed, respectively: a head of tobacco, a chicken, a duck, two ducks, and a goat. On this note, the central vignette shows bound tobacco leaves flanked by small "5" counters on orange lathwork. End panels are printed in black on orange. Titles and obligations are across. This is a very well embossed example. The paper is somewhat mottled (similar to the example from the Western Reserve Historical Society Collection) with some central wrinkling. Noted by grading with "Edge Tear and Minor Damage at LL; Paper Toned." This should not be confused with the 1885 pamphlet reprints; it is considerably rarer and encountered only in advanced collections. A historic Maryland currency-related note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20122, realized $1680.

    Descripción:
    Springfield, MA - Agawam Bank $2 18__ MA-1165 G4 SENC. Proof. PCGS About New 50. There were several banks in Springfield, and this title is rare for genuine issued notes and proofs. This design type was counterfeited heavily, and we have seen only the plated genuine issued note in the Whitman Encyclopedia, volume 4. This boldly printed India paper proof by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson, New-York is a SENC type in Haxby. A pleasing layout with a right central gray "2" under the title. The resting Native American hunter on the riverbank is approached by a multi-pointed buck. At lower right is a standing farmer styled after William Sidney Mount. This is the third denomination from this series we have cataloged from the Newman Collection. Noted as "Hole Punch Cancelled," as made. The top and bottom right margins are uneven, but the note is boldly printed. Extremely rare. We believe there is one other reported proof, but that example is not confirmed by us. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20123, realized $780.

    Descripción:
    New Orleans, LA � People's Line of New Orleans & Fort Adams Packets $1 January 14, 1862. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. All notes from the few observed series of this riverboat issuer are rare. This example faces up quite well; any faults are confined to the blank back and do not affect the visual attractiveness of this rarity. Printed on white paper with a red protector PEOPLES LINE / ONE DOLLAR bisected horizontally by the vignette and titles. The steamboat at top center heads upriver while trailing voluminous black smoke. Standing Peace and Liberty is at the left. ONE DOLLAR is at the right on a shaded panel. Plate A. We have handled the $2 note from this 1862 series. Noted with "Large Internal Split; Edge Tears and Hinge Repairs." Pleasing overall, and its rarity certainly overcomes any flaws. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20121, realized $1560.

    Descripción:
    New Orleans, LA � Mechanics' & Traders' Bank $3 1862 LA-85-UNL. Remainder. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ. There were many Louisiana discovery notes in the Newman Collection and this apparently is another. This Civil War-Union occupation period type is not only unlisted as a series in Haxby, but also as a denomination in the Whitman Encyclopedia, volume 7. Only a $1 note is known and plated there. Printed on the back of an original draft form with the National Bank Note Co. imprint (bottom of the Homeward Bound vignette visible) by Malus & Maurice, N.O. The steamboat at top center, within the titles, is flanked by "3" dies. End panels have THREE on shaded backgrounds. Plate B (perhaps printed on six-subject sheets?). Not signed or numbered like the $1 plated in Whitman, but in superb condition. Like the previous, the only example we have ever seen and the first note from the series we have cataloged. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20120, realized $2880.

    Descripción:
    New Orleans, LA � Mechanics' & Traders' Bank $50 Jan. 23, 1862 LA-85-UNL SENC. PCGS Very Fine 25. One of the rarest issued Louisiana banknotes from the Newman Collection and an important high denomination. This is from the last unregistered series of notes with no auditor signature (the engraved "Auditor" perpendicular at top left is crossed out in red, similar to G36a SENC otherwise). Exquisite style by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch, & Edson, N.O. & N.Y. A mechanic is seated next to a large pipe at the upper right, with a shipyard in the background. Ends show counters at top and bottom with a standing sailor at the left and a Mechanical Industry allegory at the right. The orange back has the title across the center. The only other note from the bank we handled was a lesser-grade $10 note which realized $2,990 in January 2009. The paper is wholesome and natural, the orange back color is vibrant, and the note is perfectly margined all around. The only example we have seen. A phenomenal combination of great rarity, pedigree, and condition. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20119, realized $6000.
