Delaware May 1, 1777 3d PMG About Uncirculated 55. This note is from the much scarcer 1777 issue and has been blessed with gargantuan margins and superb print quality. But for a small cornerfold in the lower left corner this example would easily garner some type of gem grade. If you are waiting for this note to sell for typical AU money then you better be prepared to wait for a long time. (500-up)

12034 Delaware May 1, 1777 6d PMG Gem Uncirculated
65 EPQ. The highest example yet graded by PMG for this number. As a type, 1777 Delaware’s are far scarcer than the 1776 issue. A small group of high grade pieces appeared a number of years ago, but they have not yet worked their way through the grading services. Not a whole lot of them will make it to this 65 EPQ level.

Georgia 1776 - Crown (two border varieties) 5s PMG Very Fine 20. This is a very nice example of this very scarce Crown variety. We have only sold three others in recent years with the finest of those a similarly graded example that sold for $1840 a few months ago. This note faces up wonderfully and will make any Georgia collector proud to display it to his friends. (1750-up)

Tremendous grade for this fractional-dollar-denominated Georgia. The soft thin paper of this issue almost never escaped tears, splits, or holes. PMG has graded quite a few Georgia Colonials, but there most recent census indicates that this 58 EPQ is the highest graded example from any issue for this challenging Colony. (2000-up)
12039 Georgia 1776 $1/4 PMG Choice About Unc 58. This
Georgia fractional denomination note is printed on fresh and bright paper, with bold signatures and exceptional embossing. Maybe the “EPQ” machine was broken the day this note was slabbed. (2250-up)

Georgia 1776 $1 Very Fine. The blue seal remains bold and well impressed through to the back. Colored seal Georgia notes have been very strong in the present mar- ketplace. This example faces up nicely although there are numerous tears and tape repairs throughout. (1250-up)
Georgia 1776 $2 PMG Very Good 8 Net. This note has been backed with contemporary newsprint due to some minor problems but the signatures are bold and the Floating Jugs emblem still clear. (400-up)

Georgia 1776 $2 PMG Very Good 10. The note has a fair amount of circulation and repaired splits on the left, which are also noted on the back of the holder. All five signatures are strong, and the top of the blue seal has faded over time. (750-up)
Georgia June 8, 1777 $1 Fine. This is a popular and attractive issue, with the internal paper surfaces grading Very Fine, however the lower right corner has obviously seen better days. (750-up)

MARYLAND
12047 Maryland 1733 1s Uncut Sheet of Five Two Examples New. This pair of remainder attached uncut sheets was removed from its original book as the binding holes at center will attest to. The full indent and stub also remain on these sheets. Sheets are rarely seen today as they have gone under the blade to supply single notes to collec- tors. This issue was printed in England on watermarked “MARYLAND” paper. The position of these interesting notes on a sheet from this issue are determined by the number of “*” in the lower left corner. This pair is graded New as there are no folds, but there is aging, chipping, and tears along the edges. Both top notes also have a small hole near center. (Total: 2 sheet) (2500-up)
12044 Georgia June 8, 1777 $3 PMG Net Very Good 8 This Georgia note has bold signatures, a bright orange seal and low serial number 36. There are a couple of small edge chinks and some minor repairs which are visible primarily from the back, which PMG has noted on the back, “Center Repair; Splits”. This is still a more elusive issue which should garner some interest from collectors. (500-up)

The paper is unusually bright for a Georgia note and there are two bold signatures and a bold serial number. (2000-up)
12048 Maryland 1733 5s Uncut Sheet of Five Extremely Fine. This is an extremely rare denomination in sheet form. In fact, even the Ford Collection lacked an example. The top note is missing a section of the indent and stub that
egree Regpt cia mee pias tt Ped extends a little bit into the second note. The fourth note
hes arene ribet ee ae is missing an area in the lower right corner, and the fifth es a note is missing the left edge and its bottom third. What
is here grades XF as there are folds in the first and last note. There is some edge chipping and small tears on this remainder sheet. Nonetheless, its rarity cannot be denied.

12049 Maryland 1733 10s Uncut Sheet of Five New. This sheet is without folds and thus demands the New grade.
However, the lower left stub corner is missing. The edges display some minor chipping and a few edge tears are noticed with the longest being approximately a half an inch. Despite these ailments, this is a nice remainder sheet for this early issue. (1250-up)

12050 Maryland 1733 15s Uncut Sheet of Five About New.
12051
Corner folds and a lateral bend through the fourth note account for the grade. Edge chipping is mostly restricted to the first note and a few dispersed edge tears are also found with the longest being approximately a half an inch. Still a rare remainder sheet that possesses its indent and stub. (1000-up)
Maryland 1733 20s Uncut Sheet of Five Two Examples New. This duo was removed from its original book with great care thus enabling these remainder sheets to stay together. There are not any folds on the sheets therefore the assigned grade of New. The paper of both sheets shows aging and there is minor edge chipping. The final notes on both sheets have an approximate half inch edge tear. This is another sheet from this issue that is seldom avail- able. (Total: 2 sheets) (1500-up)

There are broad margins on all sides with a bold signature and superb codfish design. But for a better centered back this would likely be a half grade higher. Also in this lot is this Small Change Codfish 4s note that was printed by Paul Revere using face plates that he engraved. The backs were printed by John Gill. It’s problem-free for the grade, suffering from the usual pinholes and a split becom- ing only the fourth example to be offered by us. (Total: 2 notes) (1000-up)

It is extremely well signed with the red overprint fully bright. A short internal split has been closed which accounts for the PMG “Repaired” comment, but the note is far above the typically encoun- tered example from this rare issue.

12082 North Carolina April 4, 1748 20s Fine-Very Fine. In recent years, a small hoard of 1748 and 1754 North Carolinas has reached the market, but the notes are in uniformly wretched shape, with major pieces missing all around. This 20s example has a perfectly clear, undam- aged unicorn vignette and is not missing any edge pieces. The signatures are quite weak, and the note has numerous pinholes and repaired splits from a previous backing, but it’s an outstanding example of its type. (1000-up)

These notes paid interest and were receiv- able for taxes. Consequently, very few of this small issue survived redemption. An important piece for the

North Carolina December 22, 1758 20s Very Fine. This note was from a past 2004 sale of ours where it was described as, “This is an extreme rarity, particularly so in relatively undamaged, problem-free condition. Every word of the text is perfectly clear, as is the handwritten issue date and both the signatures of Thomas Barker and John Starkey. Starkey’s signature is rather light. The note is very well margined for an early issue and is problem free save for one body hole, some pinholes and a rough area at the top edge.” On that day it realized $1,150 and that was in a bygone era.

RHODE ISLAND
Rare Counterfeit
12096 Rhode Island December 2, 1740 Contemporary Counterfeit £1 About New. This note was previously lot 568 from the May 2004 sale of the John Ford Collection. It’s one of the few known examples of this issue and denomination, all of which, to the best of our knowledge, are counterfeits from the same source. The counterfeiter was Dr. Stephen Tallman, who was the brother-in-law of John Potter, one of the authorized signers of this issue. Tallman was exposed, arrested, and tried, and although no direct connection was ever made, some suspicion fell on John Potter as a possible accomplice of his brother-in-law. Contemporary endorsement on the back of this bill reads: “rec'd this Bill of Dr. Stephen Tallman of Portsmouth in Bristol sometime in Octob. 1741 (signed) Thomas Lawton.” The bill shows only very minor traces of circulation and has a single horizontal fold. There is no splitting, staining, aging, or restorations of any kind. With no genuine examples available and with the fascinating history behind this early note, we would expect it to well exceed the $9,200 it realized over three years ago. (9500-up)
A
12097 Rhode Island June 1780 6s; 10s; 20s (2); 30s (2) Very Good or Better. These are very rare notes autho- rized by the June 1780 session of the General Assembly of the Rhode Island legislature. A mere £20,000 in notes were printed. We have seen very few notes from this issue over the years. In fact the Friedberg catalog has the entire issue incorrectly denominated in dol- lars and unpriced. These six notes were held by a piece of paper that was folded around them and written on the paper is, “Rhode Island Paper Money of various denominations issued at the June Session 1780 - Given me by Miss Hannah Hazard of Jamestown Aug. 18, 1859 -.” The piece of paper comes with this lot. Most of the notes show some edge wear with the 6s note having a small internal hole. A great currency grouping that includes rarity and history. (Total: 6 notes) (4000-up)

12184 Kirtland, OH- The Kirtland Safety Society Anti- Banking Co. $3 Jan. 4, 1837 G6 , Rust 14 Wolka 1422-03 This is quite likely the most avidly collected of any issuer of obsolete currency due to its connection to the early Mormon Church. The bank was organized by Joseph Smith and other church elders in late 1836, and currency plates were prepared almost immediately for the bank’s notes. Despite the bank’s charter being rejected by Ohio banking authorities, notes were issued starting in January of 1837, with the insertion of the words “anti-bank” into the title. Shortly thereafter that ruse was abandoned, and the notes that are offered below this lot began to flow out of the bank. By May of 1837 the bank was refusing to redeem its notes for specie, causing the issue to be severely discounted, and by June of 1837 Smith severed his association with the bank. The bank would fail in November 1837. Eventually Smith and Sidney Rigdon were each fined $1000 for their unauthorized banking venture. The $3 “Anti-Bank” issue is the scarcest denomination of this short lived maneuver, and this piece is a nice problem free example. Very Fine. (7000-9000)

TEXAS
The following 52 Republic of Texas lots are from the William A. “Bill” Bond Collection, and will close out the holdings that we have had the privilege and honor of offering to the collect- ing community. Mr. Bond was a major contributor, as well as a friend to Bob Medlar, who produced Texas Obsolete Notes and Scrip which has been the seminal reference for Texas currency for the past 40 years. Now, there are two additional references on the market to help fill the 40-year gap of new discoveries, those being Texas Currency: A Catalogue 1813- 1868 by Joe Olson, as well as the new and improved Criswell reference, A Guide Book of Southern States Currency by Hugh Shull. The following lots from the Bond Collection have been arranged in order of issuance by the various forms of Texas Government, as detailed in the Shull tome. For those looking for additional research assistance, especially with names on Texas warrants and currency, another great reference is the Handbook of Texas Online, which provides excellent informa- tion about those men and women that helped fight for, and build, the Lone Star state.

12200 San Felipe De Austin, TX- Provisional Government Warrant $30.00 Jan. 20, 1836 Cr. P-1, Medlar 2, Olson 46 San Felipe De Austin served as the capital of the colony established in 1823/4 by Stephen F. Austin and Baron de Bastop, becoming the second-ranked com- mercial center behind San Antonio prior to the Texas Revolution. It also served as the the site of conven- tions in 1832, 1833, and 1835 and as the capital of the Provisional Government until March of 1836, when it was relocated to Washington-on-the-Brazos. The original town was burned to the ground at the end of March, 1836 to avoid the Mexican army, and, while today located along Interstate 10 approximately two miles east of Sealy, the town never fully recovered its commercial glory.
Formally recognized in Criswell as P2, these first forms of Texas Currency have been reorganized in the recently released A Guide Book of Southern States Currency by Hugh Shull, which is a must have for your library. Interestingly enough, this example is the very next serial numbered warrant to the one pictured in Shull. As in the plate example, this is also issued to Joshua Fletcher, Esquire on the same date. Backed with a yellow paper, this warrant also has the old Criswell number written in pencil in the lower right corner, most likely by Mr. Bond. Also to note is a fancy sig- nature on back, which appears to be Nancy Kenmar? Listed as Rarity 9, (16-50 known). Very Fine, backed. From The William A. “Bill” Bond Collection (1500-2000)

The second capital of the Provisional Government, originally called Washington, as “on-the-Brazos” became attached after the American Civil War. General Sam Houston’s headquarters were established here in December 1835, as the town was already a sup- ply point. This Extremely Fine warrant was issued to James M. Adams on pink paper seven days prior to the fall of the Alamo, and also happens to be a Leap Year Day. The warrant has three cut cancels.

12202 Velasco, TX- Government of Texas Warrant $100.00
Sept. 13, 1836 Cr. V-2, Medlar 3, Olson 130
Velasco was the site where Stephen F. Austin’s first 38 colonists arrived in 1821, and, immediately after the battle of San Jacinto in 1836, was named the tempo- rary capital of the Republic of Texas. Velasco is also where Santa Anna signed the treaties recognizing the independent Republic of Texas, upon his release back to Mexico. Both parties violated the treaties, as the Texians would block Santa Anna’s return to Mexico, and the Mexican government would not recognize the Treaties as Santa Anna was a prisoner at the time he signed the documents. These hostilities would continue to boil until the Mexican-American War of 1846 through 1848. This warrant was issued to Robert McCaskey, and is endorsed on the back as well. Very Fine, CC.

Columbia, TX- Republic of Texas Third Issue Warrant $312.00 Oct. 8, 1836 Cr. C-1, Medlar 1, Olson 200
The city of Columbia served as the capital of the Republic of Texas from October, 1836 until April 18, 1837, when the legislature was moved to Houston due to inadequate accom- modations. This warrant is made out to James H. Perry, made famous for a derogatory letter he wrote in April of 1836 criticizing Sam Houston, which would lead to years of resentment between the two men. Perry would be arrested for disobeying orders prior to the battle of San Jacinto, how- ever, would be released and allowed to participate in the battle. The upper right corner has Cl and $40.00 written in pencil. On back are notes of an audit conducted June 13, 1839, which clarifies that this is indeed a “draft for ser- vices rendered in the army.” Very Fine.

This warrant is made out to Emery H(olman) Darst for Three Months of service as a Private in Captain Patton’s Company. While the last name appears to be Durst on the warrant, E.H. Darst is listed among the roll of Patton’s Company in various historical texts of those that participated in the Battle of San Jacinto. Some paper separation is noted along the lower hori- zontal fold, a possible previous tape or mounting stain at top center, as well as a small chip out at the lower right corner. About Very Fine.

Columbia, TX- Republic of Texas Third Issue Warrant $437.00 Nov. 4, 1836 Cr. C-3, Medlar 2, Olson 206
This warrant, an extraordinary amount of money at the time, possibly was used to pay Hardin for use of his family’s buildings to house Mexican prisoners after the Battle of Jacinto (at least the assumption of this cat- aloger). Benjamin Franklin Hardin is listed as a First Lieutenant as part of the 2nd Regiment Volunteers, 3rd Infantry Company under the command of Colonel Sidney Sherman during the Revolution. The note does have an endorsement on the back, “Pay the Bearer Feb. 18th, 1838, Franklin Hardin”. Very Fine.

$50.00 Oct. 24, 1836 Cr. C-4, Medlar 3, Olson 203
This warrant was issued to James M. Jett, who served as a Private in Volunteer Infantry Company B. Also of note is his endorsement on the back of the warrant, and that the “Acting” Controller - E.M. Pease, has signed at bottom. Pease would go on to be elected Governor of the State of Texas in 1853 and 1855. Very Fine.

This cataloger has referenced a variety of Republic of Texas sites to form an opinion on who or what exactly is Thomas’ last name on this warrant, using both the front and the back endorsement, but, to no avail (and yes, I tried searching through all of the Thomas’ as well). Multiple small edge splits are noted around the perimeter of the paper, a light stain is noted at right, and some paper separation is noted along the center horizontal fold. Fine.

An ornate issue with a single black five-pointed star in the center at top, a Texian Army “Bounty Money” warrant made out to George Nichols, who has also endorsed the back. A very rare design type, certain to command much interest due to its “Lone Star” design. Very Fine, with tape reinforcements along the verti- cal and horizontal folds on back. Also note that John Brimley has made is mark on back, along with two other illegible names.

$54.20 June 15, 1837 Cr. HW1B, Medlar UNL, Olson 306 Houston became the next capital of Texas in 1837 when the legislature was persuaded by brothers Augustus and John Allen to relocate there from Columbia. Upon arriv- al, members of the legislature found a city of less than 20 people, which would grow to almost 1,500 within four months time. This warrant was issued to James Thompson for his military service. It is one of the last warrants to be completely hand-written, with only a crude border at left. An interesting, and illegible, signature can be found on back, along with the cancelled date of July 20, 1840. Warrant has been cut-cancelled twice, however, the paper has no flaws for being 170 years old. Extremely Fine, CC.

Houston, TX- Republic of Texas First Issue of Notes $10 Dec ??, 1837 Cr. H4, Medlar 31, Olson 452
Although most examples of this type are heavily worn or damaged, they remain among the most sought after Republic of Texas currency issues. This piece has a rather pleasing appearance, with paper quality that is suggestive of a Very Fine grade or even higher, but it has a vertical cut down the center that has been tape repaired, there are cut cancellations on each side of the note, and the lower right corner is missing. Also, the “Sam Houston’ signature is not by Houston, but is signed by William G. Cooke, who has also endorsed the back, thus you are able to see the similarities in style. As Houston’s hand was injured during the Battle of San Jacinto, he named Cooke to be the official signer of the president’s name to promis- sory notes from June 1837 until November 1839. Fine, tape repairs.

12238 Austin, TX- Republic of Texas Fifth Issue of Notes $5
Jan 15, 1840 Cr. A4, Medlar 24, Olson 759
The Fifth Issue of notes were authorized on January 19, 1839, and are the first notes to be printed on both sides, with this issue famous for the “Lone Star” orange-red backs. The portrait at right is that of Erastus “Deaf” Smith, born in New York in 1787, and earning his nick- name due to his loss of hearing while a child. Smith worked as a scout for Stephen F. Austin, a messenger for William B. Travis, and in fact carried a message from the Alamo on February 15, 1836. Smith also served under Sam Houston, and upon learning about Smith’s death in November of 1837 wrote, “A man, more brave, and honest never, lived.” This Very Fine example has tape repairs on back to close the cut cancels.

12247 Austin, TX- Republic of Texas Fifth Issue of Warrants
$109.95 May 10, 1845 Cr. AW8, Medlar 14, Olson 880 This warrant carries an interesting description for the use of the requested funds, “This amount being for Presents for Indians”. Texas was still a wild and open country during this time, and, due to Sam Houston’s policies of working with them, versus killing them, many tribes had entered into treaties promising to end hostilities towards whites. Tribes such as the Cherokee, Waco, Tawakoni, Kichais, Anadarkos, Delaware, Caddo, Shawnee, Biloxi, agreed initially to end hos- tilities, while the Comanches and Wichita were the last two tribes to enter into treaties with the Republic in 1845. While Sam Houston tried to work with the Natives, the next president, Lamar, simply wanted to drive all Natives from the lands, and, this is reflected in the monies spent on Indian Affairs. During Houston’s first term, $190,000 was spent on Indian Affairs, ver- sus $2.5 Million spent during Lamar’s term. When Houston once again became president after Lamar, his administration spent $94,000 which is a reflection of the number of treaties signed between the Natives and the Texian’s. This warrant grades Choice About Uncirculated due to a couple of corner folds.

12315 Complete Naramore Counterfeit Detector Set with Partial Box. This is a beautiful condition set with all 18 notes pres- ent. These are actual photographic copies authorized by the Treasury Department in 1866. The photos are of Proof notes without the seals or signatures, but with the complete engraving. All nine denominations of Legals, from the $1 to the $1000 are present, as are the same nine denominations of Original Series National Bank Notes. This set is also ensconced in a partial Naramore Pocket Edition box. The outer slip case for the box is missing, but the cards have been well preserved. Original Naramore boxes are most difficult to come by, making even this partial box a true wonder of survival. This is one of the best set of Naramore cards that we have ever seen with their reflective gold trim and clean surfaces. We sold a similar set in September 2006 for almost $2000. (1800-2200)

12322 Ninetieth Division- Berncastle, Germany 10; 20; 50
Teeohs May 1 -2, 1919. The Ninetieth Division’s troops were young men from Texas and Oklahoma. Their insig- nia is a monogram “TO.” The Ninetieth served in France during World War One and then spent 1919 on occupa- tion duty in Germany. To relieve the boredom of occu- pation duty this division held an American circus and county fair in the Fatherland. Currency for this event was denominated in “Teeohs” and the notes display cowboys and native Americans. This is the first time that we have seen more than a solitary piece from this little known event. The 10 Teeohs grades VF with an approximate half inch edge tear, the 20 Teeohs grades VF with tiny splits at both center top and bottom, and the 50 Teeohs grades XF with a few tiny edge splits.

12367 Toronto, ONT- The Canadian Bank of Commerce $100 Jan. 2, 1917 Ch. 75-16-02-12 Like many of the Canadian notes from the Ameen collec- tion, this piece can trace its pedigree back to the William P. Donlon sale of the Thomas F. Morris II Estate. Thomas F. Morris II was the son of Thomas F. Morris, Sr., the Chief of the Engraving Division of the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing from 1893 until his death in 1898. In that capacity Morris Sr. supervised the preparation and production of the Educational Series notes. His son was a well known collector who became a Charter Member of the Society of Paper Money Collectors and served as President of the New York Numismatic Club. The younger Morris was one of the first Americans to seriously collect Canadian paper money, and a fair number of his notes grace this catalogue. This example was lot 674 in his November, 1974 sale. Fine-Very Fine. From The John Ameen Collection (700-900)

12396 DC-8e-i $1 1878
As Charlton relates, the ostensible reason for issuing this series was to combat counterfeiting of the 1870 Toronto $1 notes. What resulted was even more extensive counterfeit- ing, with the 1878 Ones raised to Fours and the 1878 Twos plagued by spurious copies. This issue also started the tradition of picturing the Governor General and his wife on Dominion notes, with the $1 bearing the portrait of the Countess of Dufferin and the $2 the Earl of Dufferin, the Governor General of Canada from 1872 to 1878. This attractive PMG graded example is payable in Montreal. PMG Extremely Fine 40, a rare note in this grade.

This was the second issue of $4 notes from the Dominion, and featured the dual portraits of the Countess and Earl of Minto, the Earl having served as the Governor General of Canada. The central vignette portrays the Sault Ste. Marie locks, which connect Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Unfortunately, through an error, the locks depict- ed on this note were those of the American side, rather than the Canadian side. This is a much sought after note and one which is very scarce in any grade above Fine. This piece has been graded by PMG as Very Fine 20. From The John Ameen Collection (3000-5000)

12408 DC-27 $5 1924
This issue, featuring a formal portrait of Queen Mary, offers an interesting history. Although the plates were prepared in 1924, and the note is dated May 26th in honor of the Queen’s birthday, there was so little need for Dominion $5 bills that printing for this issue did not commence until 1931. When finally printed, they were stored until 1934, when they finally entered circulation, just in time to be replaced by the 1935 Bank of Canada issue, which marked the withdrawal of the Dominion notes. The new Charlton catalogue estimates that only about one-third of the very small printing of 2,000,000 pieces were ever put into circulation. This example has retained its lovely blue color, and exhibits barely any traces of circulation at all. It is as nice or nicer than the specimen we sold as part of the Halton Lake collection last year which realized $7475. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ.
