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.

Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20121, realized $1560.

22. Lot 20095

Descripción:: Continental Currency January 14, 1779 Uncut Double Sheet of $65-$60-$55-$50/$45-$40-$35-$30 Issued Notes Fr. CC-100 to 93. PCGS Extremely Fine 40 Apparent. The large, Continental Currency double pane sheets are rare as many have been cut into individual notes over the past several decades. This is an impressive, complete double-sheet of sixteen fully issued notes comprising two sets of $65 to $30 notes, with all the odd denominations ($65, $55, $45, and $35) represented twice. This issue was Printed by Hall and Sellers on watermarked CONFEDERATION (on two lines) paper. This is one of two different arrays for the resolution date. Red color was added to the borders and emblems, with the diamond-shaped areas on some emblems leading to the nickname "kite-faced" notes. The backs have new nature prints. Fully issued with two signatures on each note and numbered. Well printed and bright, with the normal handling seen on these large sheets. Fully margined all around with visible spindle holes in the central gutter as made. Noted with "Small Splits and Tears; Stained." There is some scattered toning and a larger stain affecting one of the $30 notes on both sides. An excellent display sheet and one of very few we have offered. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20095, realized $7200.

24. Lot 20073

Descripción:: Continental Currency. April 11, 1778 Yorktown Issue $20 Newman 1.1 Contemporary Counterfeit Fr. CC-76CF. PCGS Extremely Fine 45PPQ. A choice example, which makes it an excellent note to study closely. No. 52079. Printed on thin paper. Diagnostics: Newman 1.1: Engraved. This bill is described in the Official Broadside.

25. Lot 20033

Descripción:: Pennsylvania May 1, 1760 5 Pounds Fr. PA-114. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. A second superior-grade 5 pounds from this B. Franklin and D. Hall-imprinted series. Plate A. The signatures of Joseph Saunders and Henry Harrison are strong while that of Joseph Morris is faint yet discernable. The back shows a three-leaf nature print that shows fine details. This is quite choice and the noted "Pinholes" from PCGS are perhaps a little harsh for an example exhibiting vibrant red color details and superior paper for the series and type. The margins are average for most notes observed of this type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20033, realized $1320.

26. Lot 20023

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.

27. Lot 20022

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.
