Lot 4381		1901, $10 United States Note. . Fr-115. . KL-381. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ. This beautiful Bison note is pedigreed to the Rickey Collection, and is ideally centered with even margins that are well above average for the type.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $13,800
Lot 4384		1863, $20 United States Note. . Fr-126b. A fresh crisp Gem example of an 1863 Legal Tender Twenty. The note is totally free of the splits and edge problems that plague these early weak-paper issues. The surfaces are original, bright and white, while the colors are 100% fully bright. The margins, which are often a problem on this series, are complete on all sides and although tight, they provide a nice frame around the central design. This is a very challenging Type to find in top grade, and this example comes extremely close to being a "finest known" Gem. CGA graded Gem Crisp Uncirculated 66. Estimated Value $13,000 - 14,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $23,000
Lot 4385		1875, $20 United States Note. PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ. . Fr-129. . KL-528. A very attractive example of a type that does come rather nice on occasion. Just the same, unlike most of this number, this one is not printed on the paper with heavy blue anti-counterfeiting stain. This one features the paper with a heavy profusion of blue fibers at the right end of the back as its active anti-counterfeiting device. A pristine note no matter how judge it, and aesthetically pleasing. Pop 2; none finer. Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $10,350

Lot 4387		Fr-156. 1880, $50 United States Note. . Fr-156. . KL-676. CGA Fine 15, Repaired. Less than a dozen and a half examples are known of this rare Fr. number, and a few of those are permanently ensconsed in institutional collections. This note is low grade and has a number of repairs along the edges and internally, but it undoubtedly looks far better than it did before the restoration. Rare in any grade, and likely one of the few opportunities many collectors will ever have to own an affordable example of this rare number. Estimated Value $2,500 - 4,500. The Brooklyn Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 4388		1901, $10 United States Note. . Fr-122. . KL-388. The popular Bison note in a beautiful contemporary burl wood frame. Framed so both sides can be viewed. Very Good. Estimated Value $400 - 450. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $242
