描述:: New Orleans, LA - Citizens' Bank of Louisiana Uncut Sheet of Four $10 186_ LA-15 G26a. Remainder. Very Fine. A full sheet of Dix notes beautifully printed by the National Bank Note Company. At top center, over the Gothic title, the SS Adriatic plows through the stormy Atlantic Ocean while passengers on the top deck brave the strong wind. Swirling scalloped denomination dies are flanking. Engraved by James Smillie after Charles Parsons. Orange-red backs show "DIX" in the die at the center. NEW ORLEANS arcs at the bottom, and sides show curving BANQUE DES CITOYENS / DE LA LOUISIANE. Uncertified, apparently once in a frame and now rather toned. A few light handling folds are observed.

描述:: Brooklyn, NY � Long Island Bank $5 Altered Note June 1, 1859 NY-325 A5. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. An altered bill from Government Stock Bank, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and with an added red tint. The vignette of two bobwhite quail at bottom center and the original imprint remain. The top left central vignette shows the United States Capitol Building. Zachary Taylor is just to the right. An added New York state seal is at left. It is interesting to note that the bank used Fairman, Draper, Underwood & Co.-engraved Audubon running grouse vignettes on their earliest $3 and $20 note types (as appeared in the 1990 American Bank Note Company sale). The altering of the notes with two quail is apparently a coincidence, but certainly fascinating. Noted with "Edge Tears and Minor Damage at Right; Mounting Remnants on Back." The color is still excellent for the grade and faults. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20486, realized $180.

描述:: Savannah, GA � Merchants and Planters Bank $50 July 5, 1856 GA-315 G14a. PCGS Very Fine 35. This higher denomination also has the waterfowl at bottom center.

描述:: Omaha City, NE� Bank of Nebraska Vignette Essay for $10 NE-55 G12, Walton 4. Proof. PCGS Very Choice New 64 Apparent. A full-width vignette India paper Proof essay for an exceedingly rare, if not unique, proof type for the Bank of Nebraska, Omaha City. The frontier scene, without imprint, was initially engraved by Toppan, Carpenter & Co. and perhaps for this series. At the left is the wild scene of Native Americans on horseback hunting bison with arrows and spears; at the right, in stark contrast, yoked oxen stand by as a farmer chops down a tree. A lovely proof. Noted only with some "Minor Paper Thins." These vignettes were later adapted by the American Bank Note Company for other uses such as stock certificates. A distinctive and stylish piece. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20456, realized $480.

描述:: Tallahassee, FL - State of Florida $50 October 10, 1861 Cr. 3, Benice 13B. PCGS Very Fine 35 Apparent. Florida State notes have been avidly collected with the Confederate States and Florida Obsolete note series for over a century. The 1861 notes have the most variations, including an unusual plate anomaly on the $50. On this variant, the note was signed by Governor Milton; it also has a countersignature. The "L" denomination die is at the upper left (unlike the Cr. 3B with both "50" dies at the top). Both "FIFTY" denominations under the title, flanking the vignette, are normal (as opposed to one being inverted). There are some "Small Holes at Bottom Right" noted and near the signature. A well-framed example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20431, realized $156.

描述:: Continental Currency. September 26, 1778 $50 Newman 2.3 Contemporary Counterfeit Fr. CC-85CF. PCGS Extremely Fine 45. One of the reported counterfeit plate types reported for the denomination. The engraver added typeset commas on the face to match the genuine note. No.1041. Printed on thin paper. Diagnostics: Newman 2.3: Typeset. This counterfeit may have many variations due to movement or replacement of typeset letters. On the face: Same as Newman 2.2 except the commas after Philadelphia and 26th have now been corrected by the insertion of typeset commas. To the right of the serial number, the upright of the second f in Fifty points to the space between the words the bearer below it. On the genuine, it points directly to the upper left serif of the B in Bearer. The baseline of the first to is lower than the baseline of Bearer. In the motto, the left lower serif of the P in PERENNIS is present. On the genuine bill, this P was broken, resulting in the absence of this serif. On the back: The top of the T in FIFTY is higher than the top of the preceding F. A pleasing example with moderate circulation only. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20419, realized $240.

It faces up as a nice looking type note and a scarcer, highest denomination. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20379, realized $900.

描述:: Trinidad and Tobago � Government of Trinidad and Tobago $1 January 1, 1943 P-5c. PCGS Very Fine 30.
