Lot #2044 - Large Size Type Notes > Demand Notes - ($ 20,000.00 - $ 40,000.00)
Fr. 2 $5 1861 Philadelphia
Demand notes are few and far between, and lovely, fresh, unmolested, likely circ ones are just plain rare. While there are 131 serial numbers recoded only 10 are equal to this note and 4 of those 10 are better. The three most often seen $5 Demand notes only have 24 out of 368 that are equal or better than this example, and just 9 notes better or higher grade. This note is a jewel. In 2012 a Fr. 3 in XF 40 realized $25,300 and a '53' brought $49,000 in 2013. These issues are rare and this is a problem free beauty.

I really appreciate this type of early Deuce as they are seldom of better quality than this note. In fact, there are almost no Gems graded by PMG or PCGS. I personally like the way the borders frame the Deuce, but I understand the left margin is a little close. A great example.

While buyers have not been hot for lower serial numbers recently this note will absolutely test the market with both quality and low serial #A2. At this point will you ever get a better chance?

A rare jewel in a sea of mediocrity with only 50 serial numbers recorded and to have this one above XF 40. This is a variety to sink you teeth into. Last one sold was in 2005 in the Rickey Collection where it was described as: "This Friedberg number is very rare, with only 31 serial numbers recorded, including at least four in permanent collections. This variety bears the March 10, 1862 date with American and National Bank Note Company printed across the lower border." There are only three or four of this issue graded as high as XF 40. This note has a couple of tiny repaired splits along the top. There have been none better ever offered, and certainly not since the Rickey Collection in 2005, when this note was purchased. PCGS notes: small repairs.

Lot #2230 - Large Size Type Notes > Treasury Notes - ($ 55,000.00 - $ 75,000.00)
Fr. 375 $20 1891 Cut Sheet
This amazing cut sheet of 1891 open back Treasury notes was part of the Atlantic Collection that was discovered as part of a vault cash hoard from an Eastern bank. Each note seems to be correctly graded as 64 EPQ because while totally fresh and original the centering, while decent, just isn't quite Gem quality. This type was so rare before this discovery that Amon Carter's amazing holdings did not have any Fr. 375 examples, other than a VF. Then there were around 30 reported and now there are 153 shown in Track & Price. When the notes were dispersed by a large marketing company the price for a single note was similar to our estimate for the cut sheet of four. The open back $20 remains a valuable item as ornate backs from the 1890 issue command prices in multiples of these, yet there are only 30% less known.

This is one of the most popular of all Colorado towns for both bank notes and skiing. A true rarity, the bank issued $5 Brown Backs only before liquidating in 1898. The 'C' position sheet mate to this note brought almost $19,000 in my 2004 Memphis sale. If a great location and rarity were not enough to get your motor running, this piece also has the third leg of the triad, that of condition. It is actually an uncirculated note that was folded twice and put away, leaving just three vertical folds and all the brightness and originality of a new note. This note is still one of only four recorded and it's beautiful. A trophy item in any collection.

I was very pleased to find this great note in this Colorado consignment. The only known large size note was a Good 6 that sold in January 2004 for $7,475. This note is a pleasing Fine with some body and some surface dirt, but easily a problem free Fine +. There's a strong pen signature of the cashier and a light stamped signature of the president, but both are there. A note that is worth serious consideration. This town name comes from the Ute language word that refers to the color range that includes both green and blues. This was the color of the bluish stones and earth in the area.

Telluride, First NB, W4417
The First National Bank of Telluride was chartered in 1890 and was the only national bank in town, as well as in San Miguel County. However, that monopoly did not prevent the bank's liquidation in 1924, after issuing Brown Backs, 1882 Date Backs and 1902 Blue Seals. This is one of the earliest notes printed by the bank and is a good looking specimen. In the interest of full disclosure, the folds are heavy and the bottom margin is rough at the center, but the overall appearance is not greatly affected. The nice pen signatures help a lot. The 11 reported notes are avidly collected, as indicated by the extremely strong auction results for recent specimens. A $10 1902 Date Back in VF brought nearly $20,000 last September, and a $5 Brownback in XF hammered at $45,000 at the 2006 Memphis sale. A rare opportunity to obtain a note that approaches the caliber of these notes, but at a lesser price.

This amazing note is dated May 5, 1882, immediately before the end of the First Charter Period. There are only 55 $100s from the 1875 Series known from the entire country, and only 2 are from Illinois, the other from Lincoln is a #1. This note first appeared on June 16, 1945 at the Grinnell sale, held by Blarney Bluestone, where it was Lot 1192 and it sold for $210. It resurfaced 39 years later at Stack's March 20, 1984 sale, Lot 186, when purchased by the consignor for $3,300. The new owner will be only the third in nearly 100 years. The note has some folds but excellent color and centering, along with great margins both front and back. The signing officials were Ralph Plumb, President and G.W. Lukins (?), Cashier. Here is the opportunity to obtain a wonderful piece of American and Illinois banking history. Enjoy the journey. The Illinois Type Set.

Hyannis, First NB, 1107
An enigmatic First Charter National if ever there was one. PCGS has correctly noted that there is minor toning and that the overprint is faded. On its face, either way this is a very desirable Cape Cod note in CU grade and should be highly coveted based on those facts alone. This is an exceptional grade for this final First Charter Ace signature combination. There has been conjecture amongst the experts about whether this qualifies as an error but we will let the bidders decide. As it stands PCGS did not qualify it as such. The note is absolutely not sun struck. The signatures remain bold and both serial numbers remain bright red. The shadow of the charter number at left and the Treasury seal at upper right are both visible with every minute detail of the embossing of both present and accounted for. This exact note is listed in the Third Edition of Kelly. There is a Lazy Deuce of this same charter, a mere four serial numbers away, that has the exact same issue and which is almost identical in appearance in every way. That note graded AU with a left edge split and sold for over $15,000 a decade ago.

There are just over 100 large notes reported on this Washoe County bank and Reno was the big early Nevada city. I assume the high denominations were needed for the miners or assayers in the area but it seems that gambling was also an early need for cash. This was the first note that Zollie Kelman paid a premium for at $65, $15 over face value, around 1952 at the Jewelry Exchange, likely in the Twin Cities.

This extremely rare Jefferson County bank opened at the end of July 1929 and issued a mere pocket change circulation over the next six years - just $36,000. Just a single note has ever been offered for sale from this tiny bank (2010), and prior to that this was the last unreported New York bank that issued solely Series of 1929 notes. This is the bottom note from the first sheet of Type 2 $20s issued, clear evidence that there is no Serial #1 sheet tucked away somewhere. This a real peach - a fresh and totally unmolested bright and crisp note that will be one of the highlights of the collection it now enters.

Bright and superbly margined with great centering and mountainous embossing. A bank well known for its supply of low serial number sheets, although that does not seem to hamper its valuation in the least. This year a $10 with serial #7, grading PMG 64 (NO EPQ) sold for $1,880. In the doldrums of the 2009 market we sold serial #14, also PMG 64 (no EPQ) for $1,150 and a few years ago serial #19, PCGS 64 (no PPQ) for about $1,100.

Until this note surfaced, the only large note on the bank was the Richard XXXX note we sold for $17,250 back at the 2006 Memphis show. Note faces up very well, and has had some repair work done at the lower left corner and margin. Stamped signatures.

Neenah, NB, 1602
Nine years have passed since the Krause Collection where this note was offered and no others have appeared since. This note was previously described as, 'This Brown Back is unique for this first title which issued only First Charters and Brown Backs. While the grade is a little rough and there are the standard issues to accept on a note this well used, the piece is still intact and shows partial signatures. The cashier looks to be Robert Shiells and the president at the time was Henry Hewitt, Sr., although his signature is too faint to read. A rare note that may stay that way for some time to come. Neenah is a city on Lake Winnebago and was named for the Winnebago word for 'water' or 'running water' The area was first designated an industrial and agricultural mission to the Menominee Indians in 1835, and early settlement by Americans of European decent began a few years later, stimulated in large part by the proximity of the area to the Fox River. Originally known as Winnebago Rapids, Neenah was incorporated as a village in 1856.

Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, First NB, 1800
This note is one of only six 1875 Series Territorials known. It's a problem free VF + and serial #350. The pedigree is spotless having been in the Amon Carter Collection and before that it was one of only two Wyoming Territorials in the Harley L. Freeman Collection. This piece was last offered by Hickman-Oakes in 1986. There are only six $20 1875 Series Territorials from any territory - First NB of Boise City, First NB of Omaha, First NB of Albuquerque (2), Second NB of New Mexico at Santa Fe and First NB of Cheyenne. There are only five Original Series $20 First Charter Territorials - two First NB of Denver and three Colorado NB of Denver. There are only 15 Wyoming Territorial known to exist. Eight are from Wyoming NB of Laramie City, three from Stock Growers NB of Cheyenne, one $10 Brown Back from First NB of Rawlins and a $5 Brown Back from the First NB of Douglas. The First National Bank of Cheyenne was chartered on March 7, 1871. Not surprisingly this was the earliest national bank chartered in the state. This bank originally printed 800 sheets of Original Series $10-10-10-20 and 2,500 sheets of $5s. Then when the 1875 issues were printed there were 685 more sheets of $5s and 1,656 sheets of $10-10-10-20. At this time only two Territorials are reported from this bank, with the other a low grade $10. Signed by H.R. Converse, President who came to Cheyenne in November 1867, and purchasing from J. H. Hall the adobe building at the corner of 16th and Hill Streets, he engaged in the furniture and crockery business. After a very successful business career of five years, he formed a co-partnership with Mr. F. E. Warren, the business being carried on under the firm name of Converse and Warren. In March 1871, Mr. Converse, H. J. Rogers, and others organized the First National Bank of Cheyenne, and Mr. Converse was chosen president, which position he held until his death. Retiring from the firm of Converse and Warren, he devoted his whole time thereafter to the banking business, in which has been more prosperous. He also invested largely of his means in cattle and ranches in this county, and today the Converse Cattle Company, of which he was president, is one of the wealthiest and most successful corporations in the territory. He was one of the first Laramie County commissioners elected after the organization of the WY Territory, and from 1876 to 1880 was Territorial Treasurer. He was one of the most public-spirited citizens of Wyoming and assisted materially in building up Cheyenne. Converse amassed a fortune through his residence in Cheyenne, WY during its early founding period. In 1870, he had assets of over $40,000 just in the crockery business alone.

The bank was liquidated in 1895 and by 1910 it showed an outstanding of $750. It's now 107 years later and this bank remains unique. According to the 1894 Bradford, Rhodes & Co. directory the officers at that time were Henry G. Balch, President, A. Kendall, Cashier and E.D. Hisken, Assistant Cashier.
