    Descripción:
    New Jersey July 2, 1746 6 Pounds NJ-64. PCGS Very Good 10 Apparent. This is the earliest confirmed 6 pounds note from New Jersey, and important as such. It the only reported example and it is possibly unique. Only 400 notes of this denomination were authorized. The enactment of June 28, 1746, specified these notes as "Money of America." This series, which established the sizes and styles for New Jersey Colonial notes for the next few decades, was printed by Benjamin Franklin. The face displays the Royal Arms (in black) and obligation (in red), and the back shows a nature print of a sage leaf. Notes from the series are seldom seen. The 15 shillings from the Boyd Collection, raw graded "Good," realized $4,312 at the Ford Part III sale in May 2004. The Newman Collection was blessed with three denominations from this key series. The 12 shillings graded PCGS About Good 3 Apparent realized $940 in the May 4, 2016, Newman Part 1 Internet sale. The 15 shillings graded PCGS Good 4 Apparent realized $1,292.50 in the January 11, 2017, Newman Part 3 Internet sale. This third and final example is much rarer and superior in grade. Despite the noted "Splits, Tears, and Minor Damage; Tape Repair on Back," the grade should be considered strong for such an early note which would have circulated heavily. The note is rounded inward all around the perimeter, affecting the bordering lines. Compensating is the delightful red text printing at the top and in the upper right quadrant, the image of a bird at far left, the detailed coat of arms, and still-visible signatures. The back is a bit dusty with scotch tape residue visible. The "Printed by B. Franklin" imprint is visible at the right. From a rare series, printed by Franklin, and possibly unique. This note is very collectible. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20027, realized $0.

    La Banque (Royale) September 2, 1720 50 Livres SCWPM# A23. PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. This is a scarcer type of "John Law" note. The La Louisiane notes, collected in the American series for generations, are historic artifacts reflecting the intersection of 18th century European "Bubble" financing schemes and the North American continent. The territory of La Louisiane was expansive and surrounded the Mississippi River as it flowed south from present-day Wisconsin and drained into the Gulf through New Orleans. Importantly, the land surrounding St. Louis, the eventual Missouri Territory and later State of Missouri, were included. Therefore, these are integral to collections of Missouri paper currency. These technically French notes (and listed in the Standard Catalogue of World Paper Money) were Royal issues created by Scottish-born John Law in order to stimulate investments in the New World territories. The earliest Banque Generale notes (1716-1718), signed by Law himself, are virtually unobtainable. They were replaced by the rarely seen 1719 Banque Royale notes. The Boyd-Raymond holdings contained no 1719-dated notes, only examples with the date of 1720. This third series July 1, 1720, note is printed on white indented paper and has an embossed seal at bottom center. Since the dispersal of the Boyd-Raymond-Ford notes in 2005, these are difficult to obtain, especially in such choice condition. There were only two examples of this type in that group compared with over 10 January 1, 1720, notes. There are "Pinholes" noted by grading, but the indent at the left is perfectly straight, and the note is broadly margined for the type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20026, realized $1140.

    Georgia June 8, 1777 $8 Red "In" Fr. GA-110a. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. A rare type, and the highest denomination from this Continental Currency-payable series. This is the key seal type in the series and the first Georgia appearance of the Thirteen Links motif with motto "C/Congress" in the center. Wood, Langworthy and Wylly signed at bottom left, with O'Bryen and Wade signing perpendicularly. A "Small Repaired Edge Tear at Top Center," visible mainly from the back, is noted by grading. The right margin is extremely wide, and the printing is deeply accomplished. Colors remain strong. The black "in" GA-110b "C/Congress" variety, graded PCGS Very Fine 30, realized $2,350 in Newman Part VII in October 2015. This note is worthy of realization in that vicinity. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20025, realized $1800.

    Descripción:
    Georgia June 8, 1777 $3 Black "In" Fr. GA-105b. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. These beautiful typeset certificates were payable in Continental Currency rather than Spanish Milled Dollars. The charmingly rendered frontiersman in the seal stands with one hand on his hip and the other supporting the rifle resting on the ground. Richard Wylly, Edward Langworthy, and Joseph wood signed at the left, and William O'Bryen and Nehemiah Wade signed perpendicularly. PCGS notes a "Small Edge Split at Bottom Right," but it is a minor detraction. The left margin is very wide, and the note is well printed, with embossing seen on the blank back. The face is clear and bright, and the colors are vivid. A handsome type note from this issue. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20024, realized $1680.

    Descripción:
    Georgia 1775 5 Pounds GA-60. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This is one of the rarest Georgia Colonial notes we have cataloged. An intriguing note, which was to be called in "within three Years after "A RECONCILIATION BETWEEN GREAT-BRITAIN AND AMERICA ..." The series is so rare that the Boyd collection had only one example, the Newman-plated 1 shilling 6 pence note (cf. Ford Part III: lot 773) that realized $4,887.50 in May 2004. Of the six denominations authorized, three are unconfirmed and the others are extremely rare. Uniface and with borders composed of type ornaments. The higher-denomination notes were in a larger format, and printed in both red and black. The Native American vignette is similar to that on the 1762 5 shilling note seen in the previous lot. Here, he stands between AMERICA. and Five Pounds. Instead of being depicted in black with white features, this figure is composed of a black outline with some shading and details added in black; individual feathers on his headdress are rendered, and he wears a quiver and holds out a bow. The stance and the position of his arms suggest that he has just shot an arrow. Elisha Butler, Basil Cowpens, and George Walton signed at the left, and William Gibbons and Philip Box signed perpendicularly. Grading notes "Edge and Internal Splits, Tears, and Damage; Hinge Repairs," but the face is bright, with vivid red text. The printing is bold, and embossing is seen on the back. With the exception of the Newman plate note, we are not aware of another example of this type. One of the key Georgia Colonial notes, and one of only two examples known to us. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20023, realized $3600.

    Descripción:
    Province of Georgia 1762 5 Shillings Native American Fr. GA-40b. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. All notes from this 1762 Georgia series are rare. They saw heavy circulation and lower-denomination notes, like the 5 shillings, were printed on the stiffer laid paper that often cracked or split quickly in commerce. This high-grade example is superior to the Boyd collection note, the Newman plate example, and nearly all others we have researched. It is a charming, uniface, typeset 5 shillings bill featuring the folk-art style Native American at lower right between FIVE and SHILLINGS. The figure, grounded by some hatching, is in black with white details for facial features, headdress, skirt, ribs, and musculature. His stance, with right arm bent and hand resting upon hip, and left arm slightly outstretched, appears welcoming rather than menacing. A wide variety of type ornaments comprise the border. The signatures of Clement Martin, James Read, and Alex Wylly are bold at the center; Powell's is perpendicular at the left, and Yonge's is perpendicular at the right. Despite noted "Edge Splits and Repairs," this is a bright, clean example. The laid paper is very natural and fresh when viewed from each side. Embossed type letters are visible from the back. The antique paper strip repairs are placed delicately at the top and bottom of the blank back. The majority known to us have been restored, often harshly, and do not enjoy this pleasing face appeal. Very underrated and undervalued in this sharp condition, and likely one of the finest extant. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20022, realized $3840.

    Colony of Delaware June 1, 1759 20 Shillings Fr. DE-68. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. A second June 1, 1759, 20 shillings and a lovely example in well above-average condition. The imprint of B. FRANKLIN and D. HALL is clear and strong on the back of this very pleasing and boldly printed note. Although PCGS notes "Splits and Repairs" and a "Paper Pull in LL Corner," this example shows strong details, particularly upon the lion. The signatures of Hall, Armstrong, and Barns are clear. A sharp piece, and a perfect fit into any Thirteen Colony set or specialized collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20021, realized $780.
