- Burlington, KY - Bank of Burlington $1 June 3, 1818 KY-40 G12, Hughes 97. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. A very bold fully issued note from this rare bank. The Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. engraving layout and style is similar to many period Kentucky banks. At the top center, a man is plowing his field with a pair of horses. Intricate ends show perpendicular ONE DOLLAR at the left and KENTUCKY at the right. Noted are only some "Mounting Remnants on Back" that in no way disturb the bright, handsome appearance of this rarity. Ex: Eric P.

- Topeka, KS - R.H. Farnham, Banker, 5 Cents August 10 1862 Whitfield 407. Remainder. PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent. This is another great scrip note rarity from the Newman Collection and only the second denomination we have cataloged. A remainder note that is better classified a "lithographer's specimen" by Sage, Sons & Co., Buffalo, N.Y. "Hole Punch Cancelled" (just small holes) as designated to prevent signing. A man cutting a stone column, adapted from Obsolete notes, is at the left end. A vermillion oval die with an outlined "5" is in the center under the title. Farnham is referred to in periodicals of the time as a private banker, but issued notes are not known to us, and the Whitfield illustrations are all unissued. There are only some "Mounting Remnants on Back" noted. Well margined and colorful. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2016).

- Sumner, KS - Sumner Company $5 May 29, 1858 Whitfield 385. PCGS Very Fine 30. The second denomination from this historic issuer from the Newman Collection we have offered. We previously noted that a hallmark of many Newman Collection notes is the historic sensibility that merits study and reflection, and this note is a superb example. Kansas, a "Free State," had townships that developed directly from the Abolitionist movement and Sumner, a rival to Atchison, was one of them. The town was named for stockholder George Sumner, brother of the Massachusetts senator Charles Sumner. The senator was savagely struck with a cane by Preston Brooks of South Carolina on the Senate floor, May 22, 1856. This occurred after business closed on the day he delivered his "Crime Against Kansas" speech attacking Stephen Douglas and South Carolina senator Andrew Butler. The incorporated town, reaching 2,000 inhabitants, lost a key election to become the county seat, and this setback and a tornado in 1860 dashed its significance. These Sumner Company notes circulated, but were payable after sixty days as written. Lithographed on white on paper by T.R. Hiland, Boston. At the upper left is a view of carpenters at work while a child gathers wood shavings. The base vignette shows men with rowboat. End panels show "5" at left and perpendicular FIVE at the right. Fully signed and issued, and the equal of the Whitfield plate note, which is the only other example we have seen. A bright note and fascinating artifact of Kansas' Abolitionist history. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2016). (Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.) Realized $446.50

- Seneca, KS - Lappin & Scrafford 10 Cents Undated (1860's) Whitfield 371. Remainder. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. Another great rarity from the Kansas scrip note canon and also lithographed by Doty & McFarlan, New York, with the imprint at the bottom center. The style is similar to the Streeter & Strickler scrip from Junction City, but the title and city are red on the face. At the top center, Washington is between "10" dies. Ornate end panels have denominations embedded in the lathe work. The back is blank. Whitfield's research from his book is of interest. Samuel Lappin came to Kansas and founded Seneca. He was successful, along with his brother-in-law Scrafford, who is also titled on the note. Well after the war, he was Quartermaster General of Kansas and was involved with defrauding the State over forged school bonds. He resigned and was jailed in 1875, but he escaped the next year to Peru (Kansas). Years later he surfaced in Oregon, but a lack of evidence resulted in the charges being dropped. We have handled only one note from the issue, a 50 cents that realized $603.75 in 2004. Only some "Minor Stains" are noted on this important note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, Heritage Auctions Internet Sale (5/2016). (Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions, ha.com.) Realized $376.00
