    Descripción:
    Colony of Delaware June 1, 1759 20 Shillings Fr. DE-68. PCGS About New 53 Apparent. Franklin and Hall-imprinted notes have interested Colonial Currency collectors for well over a century. This is one of the finest known B. FRANKLIN and D. HALL Delaware notes known. The vast majority of these notes from Delaware, from all series and denominations, are Good with splitting or even of lesser quality. Most are damaged in some manner. This example is crisp as a board, never creased, and devoid of any splits. The details on the front are sharp, and the signatures of Armstrong, Hall, and Barns are as clear and bold as the day pen was put to paper. On the back, the nature print is completely distinct; the lion vignette is highly detailed, from tail to mane, and the animal's facial features are remarkably well illustrated and expressive. Grading notes some "Small Stains," which are minor issues considering the About New 53 condition. There is only one example that exceeds this note: the Boyd Collection note (cf. Ford Part III: lot 732), uncirculated (PCGS New 62PPQ) and with pristine surfaces. That note sold in the Stack's Bowers 2011 ANA auction for $12,650. This example is in exceptional grade and provides an important opportunity to obtain an elite Newman Collection note from the popular Franklin and Hall-imprinted series. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20020, 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.

A sharp piece, and a perfect fit into any Thirteen Colony set or specialized collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

    Descripción:
    Colony of Connecticut May 10, 1775 40 Shillings Fr. CT-182. PCGS About New 50 Apparent. The study of genuine and counterfeit Colonial comparisons greatly interested Eric. Often, a counterfeit type is rarer than the genuine; this is determined on a case-by-case basis. A very sharply printed Timothy Green impression and uncanceled note from the May 10, 1775, issue date. The denomination is below the top border cut, enhanced by the index hand on the left. The Arms appear within the obligation text, and William Pitkin's signature is easily discerned. Grading notes "Pinholes" and "Minor Stains," but the appearance is very pleasing, and embossing from the face is seen on the crisply printed back. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20018, realized $504.

    Descripción:
    Colony of Connecticut July 10, 1733 Redated 1735 3 Shillings Fr. CT-43b. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. A magnificent Colonial American currency note; exceedingly rare, and possibly unique. Eric P. Newman's studies into the most challenging areas of American numismatics are legendary. Despite there being relatively few examples to examine or obtain (especially compared to even the rarest series of Colonial coins), his discussions about the "Tall" Bills of Credit from New England in The Early Paper Money of America are illuminating and concise. Due to their great rarity, these early Colonial bills have generally been the domain of advanced students, such as F.C.C. Boyd, T. James Clarke, John L. Roper, and Eric P. Newman. The final disposition of the Boyd Bills of Credit in May 2004 (Ford Part III) was a significant event and included many unique "Tall" bills. Many of the rarest are from Connecticut. The first Newman Part VI currency sale (April 2015) included three different early Connecticut bills, and the most recent Newman Part VIII sale had a further two. All of them are great rarities. This re-dated 1735 "Tall" Bill of Credit was printed on laid paper by Timothy Green. Bold scrollwork is in the upper corners, the Arms are at lower left, and the obligations appear in a central cartouche. Beneath the text is a bushy-tailed squirrel eating a nut, the vignette assigned to the denomination. At the right edge is the new date of 1735. Signers were Hezekiah Wyllys, Nathaniel Stanly, and Joseph Talcott. The back has a feature that was first introduced in this issue: The value of a "Quarter of Three Shillings" was printed in each of the quadrants on the back. This allowed for the circulation of quarters of the notes, which were often split naturally due to folding. No. 536. The Newman plate note, illustrated on page 97. Although noted with "Splits" and "Stains" by PCGS, this is a sharply printed, and exceedingly rare note from an issue that even Boyd did not possess. There is a reported second example of this great rarity; however, our pedigree and census research could not confirm that, and this example may be unique. A highlight in this sale, artistically attractive, and historically important. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20017, realized $11400.

    Straits Settlements � Government of the Settlements $1 January 1, 1935 P-16. PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent. Since this type circulated widely in the tropical climate of the Strait of Malacca in Southeast Asia, high-grade notes are rare. This is a small-format type printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. of New Malden, Surrey, England. There is a male portrait on the front. The back shows a profile cameo head at left and the tiger watermark at the right. At the center is a striking tiger vignette, showing the great feline in a clearing, with wind ruffling the grass in the background. Noted with "Minor Stains," but this is just a patch of foxing on the right top back edge. From the face, this has a Gem appearance and shows vibrant color. This would make an excellent pairing with the previous Sarawak 1935 dollar bill. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20016, realized $302.4.
