Lot 3574		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Red Seal. Fr-901b. PCGS graded Fine 15. . Fr-901b. A very scarce Kansas City red seal $10, with this just the tenth reported example of this "b" variety. Estimated Value $500 - 700. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,610
Lot 3575		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Red Seal. Fr-903a. PCGS graded Extremely Fine 40. . Fr-903a.

Lot 3576		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Star Note. Fr-907a. PCGS graded Very Good 10. . Fr-907a. The census of this Star Note number now numbers an even dozen with the addition of this example. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $633
Lot 3577		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS graded Gem New 65. . Fr-907a. Broadly margined and fully Gem with no actual circulation, but perhaps lacking the embossing necessary for the PPQ designation. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $805
Lot 3578		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. PMG graded Choice Uncirculated 64. . Fr-907a. This scarce Boston district $10 Fed appears to have just missed the Gem grade due to a tight bottom margin. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $518
Lot 3579		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-907b. PCGS graded Very Fine 30PPQ. . Fr-907b. A nice, original VF-XF example with bold originality.

Lot 3580		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS graded Very Choice New 64PPQ. . Fr-911a. Perhaps the most common large size $10 FRN Fr. number, this represents an excellent opportunity for the type collector. Fully Gem but for a slightly tight top margin. Estimated Value $550 - 650. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $690
Lot 3581		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Star Note. CGA graded Very Good-Fine 10. . Fr-911a. Surprisingly, less than two dozen star notes of this number are currently reported. Certainly it represents great value for the money. Estimated Value $200 - 300. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $575
Lot 3582		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS graded Choice About New 55. . Fr-911a. This nice-looking example has a light fold that was detected by the experts at PCGS, otherwise it appears to be much finer. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3583		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-911c. PCGS graded Apparent Fine 15, Repaired Edge Splits. . Fr-911c. This cataloger noticed on that very memorable (yet forgetable) day, while cataloging for a sale but distracted by the awful news, that the Fr. 911 number was reserved for notes from the New York district -- certainly an eerie coincidence. This note is one of only 13 star notes of this scarcer "c" variety reported. Estimated Value $600 - 800. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3584		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-912. PCGS graded Apparent Extremely Fine 40, Marked Stain Along Top Edge at Left. . Fr-912. Some sort of paint was applied at the upper left to hide a stain. Estimated Value $75 - 100. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3585		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-913. PCGS graded Very Fine 25. . Fr-913. Less than thirty examples are known from Philadelphia with the popular Burke-Glass signature combination. Estimated Value $600 - 800. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $384
Lot 3586		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Star Note. Fr-914. PCGS graded Apparent Very Fine 20, Ink Stains on Back. . Fr-914.

View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3587		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS graded Very Choice New 64. . Fr-915a. The design is a little close to the edge at the upper right, otherwise this nice example appears fully Gem. Estimated Value $350 - 450. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3588		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-915a. PCGS graded Very Fine 20. . Fr-915a. Another very scarce star note, with this one of just 15 known examples of this "a" variety from Philly. Estimated Value $300 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438
Lot 3589		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-915c. PCGS graded Extremely Fine 40PPQ. . Fr-915c. A bright, original example from the Philly district bank that appears to have fully earned its "PPQ" designtion from PCGS Currency. Estimated Value $200 - 300. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $288
Lot 3590		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-918. PCGS graded Apparent Very Fine 25, Rust Stains. . Fr-918. This example is new to the census, which still numbers less than 40 known examples of this Fr. number. Estimated Value $75 - 100. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3591		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-919b. PCGS graded Very Fine 25. . Fr-919b. A nice, solid VF example of this better "b" variety, of which only a little more than two dozen pieces are known. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3592		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-919c. PCGS graded Very Fine 25PPQ. . Fr-919c. A very pretty and fully original $10 Fed that bears just honest moderate circulation that is consistent with the assigned grade. Well within the top half of the census for this "c" variety, which still numbers less than 30 with the addition of this new example. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $161
Lot 3593		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-922. PCGS graded Fine 12. . Fr-922. Only 13 examples of this scarce Richmond district Star Note are known, including this piece which traces its history back to a Lyn Knight auction in August, 2000, where it brought $264. It is likely to bring multiples of that realization today, as today's more advanced market has begun to realize the bargain that these rarities represent. Estimated Value $600 - 800. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $920
Lot 3594		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-922. PCGS graded Very Fine 25. . Fr-922. This note is intriguingly listed as "CU" in the census, and although it undoubtedly was at one time (at least for a period of time after it was printed), this is a good example of how the published census reports are often valuable but never entirely reliable. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3595		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-924. PCGS graded Fine 15. . Fr-924. A pleasing example of the first Atlanta $10 Fed issue, a new example to the census of under 30 reported notes. Estimated Value $200 - 300. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $115
Lot 3596		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-925. PCGS graded Fine 12. . Fr-925. This Atlanta note is new to the census, which now numbers just over 20 peices.

Lot 3597		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-926. PCGS graded Extremely Fine 45. . Fr-926. A very nice, lightly circulated $10 Fed from the Atlanta district. Estimated Value $125 - 150. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $207

Lot 3599		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-927b. PCGS graded Very Fine 20PPQ. . Fr-927b. This mid-grade Atlanta $10 is pleasing and problem-free for the grade, with full originality remaining.

Lot 3600		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS graded Very Choice New 64. . Fr-931a. Tightly margined to the top and right, otherwise a lovely example that appears to have earned the near-Gem grade. Estimated Value $350 - 450. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3601		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-932. PCGS graded Very Fine 20. . Fr-932. A nice circulated St. Louis Ten. Estimated Value $200 - 250. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3602		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-935. PCGS graded Apparent Very Fine 20, Small Edge Tear at Bottom Right. . Fr-935. A nice looking note despite the minor flaw. Thirty examples of this number are reported in the census. Estimated Value $75 - 100. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $46
Lot 3603		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-938. PCGS graded Very Fine 20. . Fr-938. This note is not rare, but Minneapolis notes are widely collected and have remained one of the more popularly collected districts over the years. Estimated Value $125 - 150. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $115
Lot 3604		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-942. PCGS graded Fine 15. . Fr-942. A relatively common Kansas City note, one that is ideal for the beginning type collector. Estimated Value $75 - 100. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $46
Lot 3605		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-945. PCGS graded Apparent Fine 15, Paper Clip Rust Stain on Back. . Fr-945. A very rare Carter Glass-signed Dallas note, new to the census which now numbers an even 10. A similar grade note brought almost $750 nearly two years ago in a CAA auction, and we expect as strong a realization for this scarcity today. Estimated Value $550 - 750. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,150
Lot 3606		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-946. PCGS graded Good 4. . Fr-946. Not a thing of beauty, but from the popular Dallas district bank. Estimated Value $40 - 60. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $23
Lot 3607		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-947. PCGS graded Gem New 65. . Fr-947. This lovely Gem from the Dallas district bank is one of less than three dozen pieces reported in the census, and is consecutive to a single piece that sold in a 2004 auction for $1,926.25. This one is just as nice and should bring as healthy a hammer price. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,725
Lot 3608		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-948. PCGS graded Very Fine 25. . Fr-948. The census for this Fr. number stands at just 15 pieces, with this example last appearing in a Stack's sale in January, 2003, where it sold for $460. In today's much more sophisticated market, expect this scarce, mid-grade example to bring much more. Estimated Value $800 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3609		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-949. PCGS graded Very Fine 25. . Fr-949.

View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,035
Lot 3610		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Star Note. Fr-951a. PCGS graded Apparent Fine 12, Edge Damage at Top and Left. . Fr-951a. This rare San Francisco Star Note is from a number that reports just seven replacement examples to the census, with this one newly reported and bringing the new total to eight. No specimen has reached the market since a damaged Fine sold for $1,210 way back in 1999, making this the first opportunity in nearly eight years for collectors to bid on this rarity. A bit frayed at the top and left, but otherwise solid for the "apparent" grade. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3611		1914, $10 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-951b. PCGS graded Apparent Fine 15, Rust Stains. . Fr-951b. Although there are a few minor rust stains along the left end, this remains an attractive piece that appears solid for the "Fine" grade. Only a couple dozen or so of this "b" variety are reported in the census. Estimated Value $200 - 300. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3612		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Red Seal. Fr-953b. PCGS graded Very Fine 35. . Fr-953b. A relatively high grade example of one of the more common $20 Red Seals. It last appeared in a January, 2001 CAA sale, where it brought $880. Estimated Value $800 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,380
Lot 3613		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Red Seal. CGA graded Extremely Fine 40. . Fr-954a. Only 14 examples of this "a" Red Seal variety are known from the Philadelphia district, one of which is impounded in the Smithsonian. This example is new to the census, and easily ranks in the top four or five. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,400
Lot 3614		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Red Seal. Fr-958a. PCGS graded Fine 12. . Fr-958a. This note from Chicago is actually one of the more "common" $20 Red Seals, with more than 45 examples reported to the census. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3615		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Red Seal. Fr-958b. PCGS graded Fine 12. . Fr-958b. The red overprint is slightly faded on this example, but only 17 examples are reported of this scarce number. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,380
Lot 3616		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Red Seal. Fr-961a. PCGS graded Fine 12. . Fr-961a. This note appears to grade a little better than Fine at first glance, although the paper looks a bit soft which is likely the reason for the assigned grade. Another scarce Fr. number, this with only 17 examples listed in the census. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3617		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Red Seal. Fr-962. PCGS graded Apparent Fine 15, Faded Overprint. . Fr-962. Although the red overprint has faded a bit on this Dallas Twenty, this note is one of just a dozen-and-a-half examples listed in the Gengerke census. It last appeared in a CAA sale more than two years ago, where it brought $488.75. Expect a similar, if not slightly higher, realization in today's better currency market. Estimated Value $450 - 550. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,150
Lot 3618		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Star Note. Fr-964. PCGS graded Very Fine 25PPQ. . Fr-964. One of the highlights of this collection of Feds, this example is one of only three Fr. 964 Star Notes currently known to exist. The finest is an XF that appeared in a Stack's sale in 1996, and the other is a low grade Good-Very Good example that sold in a Lyn Knight auction in 2003. This example is making its first appearance in public auction since 2000, when it sold for the now inconceivably low sum of $687.50. Since that time, the market for large size Federal Reserve Notes has advanced considerably, and rarities like this are now recognized in today's market. They still represent considerable value in the overall collectibles market, however, as any U.S. coin of similar rarity would likely be a six-figure or even seven-figure item. Expect this note to reach or even far exceed our likely conservative estimate. Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,613
Lot 3619		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-964. PCGS graded Apparent Fine 15, Paint Restoration Lower Right of Center. . Fr-964. Despite the small restoration that is mentioned by PCGS Currency on their grading label, this is one of only three dozen or so examples of this number from the popular Boston district. Estimated Value $100 - 125. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $115
Lot 3620		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-965. PCGS graded Fine 15. . Fr-965. This Burke-Glass $20 is new to the census, which now numbers just 11 -- of which this is the new highest reported serial number. Estimated Value $600 - 800. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3621		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-966. Star Note. PCGS graded Fine 15. . Fr-966. Another scarce Boston district Star Note, this one of just nine known examples. None in the census are listed finer than VF. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,740
Lot 3622		1914, $20 Federal Reserve Note. Fr-970. PCGS graded Apparent Fine 15, Edge Damage. . Fr-970. A scarcer New York Fed with less than 40 examples reported. Estimated Value $75 - 100. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $46
