The November 2011 Collector’s Series Sale

Terms and Conditions of Sale This is a public auction and mail-bid sale held by SPINK, who are licensed and bonded auctioneers. SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium. 1. 2.

The placing of a bid constitutes full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Sale by the bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by SPINK shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, SPINK may, at its sole discretion, immediately put the lot up for sale again. SPINK’S decision shall be final and binding upon all bidders. A buyer’s premium equal to 20% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $2,000.00 and 15% of the excess bid price will be added to each invoice and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. All bids are to be per lot as numbered in this catalog. SPINK reserves the right to group two or more lots together and to withdraw, prior to call for bids, any lot(s) from the sale. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only, and SPINK reserves the right to reject any bid or advance the bidding at its discretion. SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium. SPINK may have made advances and loans available to certain consignors and bidders in the sale. SPINK reserves the right to bid on any lot in the sale. Additionally, SPINK may or may not have financial interest in any of the lot(s) in the sale. All sales are strictly for cash, check and bank/wire transfer in United States dollars; However, SPINK will only accept cash payments under $10,000.00. SPINK offers clients the option of paying by credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover only) in United States Dollars for a convenience charge of two percent (2%) up to a total of $20,000.00. Credit card payments will only be accepted if (a) the purchase is made by the card holder, (b) any purchased items to be shipped are shipped to the cardholder’s verified billing address, (c) floor bidders present their credit cards and (d) all returns are governed by the terms and conditions of the sale. Payment is due and payable immediately upon receipt of the auction invoice or, if payment is to be made at the auction site, simultaneously with receipt of the purchased items. SPINK reserves the right to void a sale if payment in full of the invoice is not received by SPINK within fifteen (15) days of the date of invoice. A late charge in the amount of the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum lawful rate will be charged on the invoice total if payment is not received within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. All lots are subject to applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate resale certificates are on file with SPINK. Shipping, handling and administration charges will be added to invoices for lots delivered by mail. All lots will be shipped via U.S. Express Mail to Post Office boxes, via Federal Express to street addresses, and FedEx ground for

13.

bulky large lots (in the U.S. only). Purchases shipped via FedEx will not be covered by SPINK insurance in the event that the buyer has placed a “signature release” on file with FedEx. Buyer will be responsible for total purchase price in the event of loss. SPINK cannot be and is not responsible for the loss of any merchandise shipped outside the United States and therefore insurance on any items to be shipped outside the United States is solely the responsibility of the buyer. It is also the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they are in his/her possession. Risk of loss shall be borne by the buyer following shipment of the items and SPINK assumes no liability for merchandise lost, stolen or damaged while in the possession of a party to whom merchandise has been shipped. In the event a successful bidder fails to pay the charges due, SPINK reserves the right to resell the merchandise and the buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale including a 10% seller’s commission, and also to pay any difference between the resale price and the winning price of his/her previously successful bid. SPINK reserves the right to require payment in full before delivery of the merchandise to the buyer. Bidder personally guarantees payment, and if a corporation, an officer or principal in the corporation agrees to personally guarantee payment. Title to any purchased items remains with SPINK until all invoices are paid in full. SPINK reserves the right to await clearance of any check used for payment before delivery of any item and a $25.00 charge will be applied for any check that fails to clear. SPINK reserves the right to refuse to honor or reject any bid which, in its opinion, is not submitted in good faith, or, as the case dictates, is not supported by satisfactory references, as SPINK in its sole discretion shall determine. SPINK further reserves the right to ban any bidder from participation in its sales for any reason deemed appropriate in its sole discretion. No minors may participate in any SPINK sales. Bids will be executed for mail bidders at one advance over the next highest bid in competition with floor and/or internet bidders, until the maximum bid is executed for the mail bidder, or until the lot is sold. No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted. No additional commission (except for the buyer’s premium) is charged for executing mail bids. SPINK cannot and does not assume any responsibility for errors made in the amount bid or lot numbers listed, so check your bid sheet and online submission carefully. When identical mail bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. SPINK may reopen the bidding on a lot under the following circumstances: (a) SPINK has failed to execute correctly a mail bid; (b) A party purchasing the lot on the floor has done so in error; (c) Where a protest is made after the hammer has fallen but before bidding has commenced

on the next lot; (d) Where the auctioneer has determined that he/she has overlooked a party still bidding on the lot but before the calling of the next lot; and (e) At the discretion of the auctioneer. In the event of a dispute, the auctioneer’s decision shall be final. Agents executing bids on behalf of clients will be held responsible for all purchases made on behalf of clients unless otherwise arranged prior to the sale. The same protections applicable to SPINK shall apply to each officer, director and employee of SPINK unless such individual shall be convicted of knowingly and intentionally selling false or stolen goods. The descriptions provided in the catalog are intended solely for the use of those bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding. All photographs in the catalog are as accurate as can be reproduced with today’s technology; however, they cannot be relied upon for exact reproduction of color. All bidders who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of genuineness. It is presumed that all floor bidders have inspected the lots prior to bidding. Therefore, lots purchased by floor bidders are sold “AS IS” and may not be returned. Floor Bidders include those bidders acting as agents for others. Additionally, SPINK reserves the right to describe items differently than the descriptions shown in the catalog should such items be consigned to any future auction. All the lots are sold as genuine. For the purpose of this sale, “genuine” is defined as not faked or forged and SPINK will not knowingly sell any item that has been “repaired’, “restored”, “processed”, “cleaned”, “pressed” or “conserved” in any way without disclosure of such facts to the potential buyer. The following conditions apply to requests for expertization of philatelic items: (a) Mail bidders are asked to advise SPINK of any extension requests at the time of placing their bids; (b) Floor bidders must advise SPINK of any extensions in writing at the time of lot settlement; (c) SPINK will submit all items so requested by successful bidders to the reputable authority of their choice; For United States stamps, the Philatelic Foundation and the Professional Stamp Experts are the accepted authorities. (d) Purchasers of items submitted for expertization must pay as part of the purchase price all charges for expertization, including postage and handling; (e) Purchasers of items to be expertized must make payment in full immediately upon purchase prior to expertizing; Refunds will be made promptly for all sums if in the unlikely event an item is returned with a negative opinion; (f) Requests for expertization of stamps with certificates dated within the last five (5) years of the sale date will not be granted; (g) No lot may be returned due to a certification service grading a stamp differently than the grade stated in the auction description; (h) No lot will be accepted as a return from expertization if the item is indelibly marked as being altered or fraudulent by the expertizing authority; and (i) No lot will be accepted as a return, for any reason whatsoever, including extension returns, after four (4) months from the sale date. Any exceptions to this time limitation must be agreed to in writing at SPINK sole discretion. No lots may be returned without a written request by the

24.

successful bidder and the written approval of SPINK. In the unlikely event of returning a lot, SPINK must receive notification of the buyer’s intent within three (3) days of the buyer’s receipt of the lot. The following lots may not be returned for any reason whatsoever: (a) lots containing ten or more items; (b) lots described as having faults or defects because of the faults described or any others, including lots described as “repaired”, “corroded”, “holed”, “whizzed”, or similar damage, except for non-authenticity; (c) illustrated lots because of centering, margins, etc. or other factors shown in the illustrations; (d) lots described “AS IS”, including third party graded coins or banknotes (i.e. PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG); (e) lots valued primarily for the bullion content; (f) lots examined by postal viewers; and (g) any philatelic extension lot unless the conditions set forth in Item 18 above is complied with fully. Except for lots placed on extension, as per the conditions of Item 18 above, no lots may be returned for any reason whatsoever after thirty (30) days from sale date. Late payment for purchase may, at SPINK option, be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. If any disputes arise regarding payment, authenticity, or description between the bidder and SPINK, SPINK at its sole discretion, may submit the disputed matter to binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, to which the bidder, by placing a bid and hereby accepting these Terms and Conditions of Sale, agrees to be bound. United States coins and currency will not, in conformity with the law, be opened at less than face value.

Not until the end of the War of 1812 did the United States assert itself as a world-class naval power, ending years of depredations and volatile insurance rates. (photo) Est. 600-800

Edison Stock Ticker. No.12143. Approximately 13½” high and 8” in diameter, with the original glass dome intact. The metal base has been beautifully restored, and traces of gold lettering are still visible beneath the glossy black finish. The fully original mechanism is clean and bright. A brass plaque affixed to the metal base informs the reader that Edison designed this ticker in 1870 and operated it for about 80 years. (In the 1950s, the original Abercrombie & Fitch advertised a group of Edison tickers as upscale executive gift items, and each had these brass plaques affixed.) The very first ticker was invented by E. A. Callahan, an employee of the New York Stock exchange. It was introduced to Wall Street in 1867, By the 1880’s tickers were indispensable to New York banks and brokerage firms. The first versions of the ticker were subject to frequent interruptions. This more reliable and technologically advanced version became popular in 1883. Developed and perfected by Thomas Edison, and it soon was accepted for use throughout the country. Some Edison tickers were later used to receive sports results in gambling operations, and many were seized and destroyed. This is the “classic” stock ticker. Recognized worldwide as the icon of Wall Street and financial history. The Art Institute of Chicago thought so highly of this design that they put one on permanent display, right near the entrance to the Museum. (photo) Est. 10,000-15,000

New York Quotation Company Stock Ticker. No. 3218. The mechanism is clean and bright, and appears to be completely original. The metal base, 9” in diameter, is in good condition.

The external metal bracket that holds the tape is present, and has also been restored to its original appearance (these brackets are usually missing.) The glass dome is new, but it is very close in height and diameter to the original, and the overall presentation is quite convincing. These early machines, used exclusively in the Wall Street area, are very rarely encountered today. (photo) Est. 10,000-15,000

601 601

American Revolution: Thomas Jefferson and George Rogers Clark Rare and historic Manuscript Document Signed “Thomas Jefferson” as Governor of Virginia, and “G.R. Clark” twice as commander of Continental forces in the northwestern frontier, 2 pages, 4to, “Fort Clark in the Illinois” [and Richmond, VA], June 24, 1779 and April 9, 1781. A first exchange (number 124) requesting the treasurer of Virginia to “Please pay Monsr. Rago Bovay or order the Sum of four Hundred and forty four dollars and four fifths, it being for Flour &ca furnished for the Troops Stationed in the Illinois Country.” Written and signed by Commissary General “Willm. Shannon” and endorsed by Rogers at the bottom of the page. Rogers signs a request on verso, “Reducing this Bill to the Value in hard money at the time given the Bearer must be Entitled to the Exchange in paper Currency on the day of payment.” The auditors of Virginia determine that “The exchange between Continental and hard money at Kaskaskia [which Clark had captured from the British in July 1778] at the Date of the within having been at eighty for one, be pleased to issue to the bearer Mr. James Conand [“Rago Bovay” has been crossed through] for Genl. Clarke on account a warrant for four thousand eight hundred & forty eight Dollars Continental money.” Governor Jefferson signs boldly below. Minor ink erosion from an especially bold paraph on recto, paper repair to a minor split at central fold, but VG. With Book “Sketch of his Campaign in the Illinois...” George Rogers Clark. Cincinnati, Robert Clarke & Co., 1869. 8vo, green cloth with gilt spine. Pictorial frontispiece. Famed collector Floyd Risvold’s label on front pastedown. George Rogers Clark (1752-1818) commanded western Virginia militia (from what would later become Kentucky) in the Revolutionary War, pushing into the territory north of the Ohio River; his victories against the small British outposts there would convince England to cede the Northwest Territory to the United States in the Treaty of Paris. Despite payments like the present one, Clark was never fully reimbursed for the expenses he bore during his service in the Revolutionary War. As Monsieur Bovay’s name suggests, the region that is now Illinois was settled primarily by Native Americans and French-speakers, who were only too glad to assist Britain’s enemies. Just two months after signing this decision, Governor Thomas Jefferson suffered the most humiliating moment of his political career: warned that a column of redcoats under Banastre Tarleton was nearing his home, he fled the area, giving the impression that he had abandoned his post.

American West: George Crook American Civil War general and Indian fighter (1828-90); took a leading role in the Snake War, the Great Sioux War, and the Geronimo Campaign. Scarce ALS “George Crook” while Commander of the Department of the Missouri, 2 pages, 8vo, Chicago, July 25, 1888. He writes his old comrade in arms William H Bisbee that little is new, though “I get frequent letters from ‘Old Jack Pot,’ who as you know never changes only instead of his nose, his whole face is red now & shines like a head light to an engine...He & I have spent part of the last two Julys at [Wyoming’s Fort] Bridger a fishing...Gen. [John R] Brooke & party are encamped there now...Things didn’t seem the same there as when you were there. I saw Eugene [Carr, a colonel who had served under Crook] frequently while in Omaha...” Mounting traces and consequent minor loss at left edges not affecting text, VF.

On The Nazis Closing The Bauhaus

Artists: Wassily Kandinsky Influential Russian abstract painter (1866-1944). Important content TLS “Kandinsky,” in French, 1 page, oblong 8vo, Berlin, July 17, 1933. He writes Mr. de Ridder that London’s Mayor Gallery has written him that a bookstore wants to buy copies of his books (probably his work from the Cahiers d’Art series). He also wants to get the books into the American market. At the time of this letter, the Bauhaus school he taught at was collapsing due to a smear campaign by Nazi Party. In reference to this, he laments, “The crisis is grave, and people do not have the courage to take any more.” Small notch out of blank upper right margin, otherwise VG. Kandinsky had been teaching at the Bauhaus since 1922, remaining with it as it moved from Weimar to Dessau and finally to Berlin, where it was finally forced out of business by Hitler’s Nazi Party as an example of “degenerate art;” ironically, when the Nazis built the Autobahn, they incorporated many design elements that Bauhaus had origiEst. 1,000-1,500 nated.

Civil War: CSA Rebuild Colt Dragoon Remarkable original .44 caliber Colt Third Model “Dragoon” Revolver, serial no 13143 on frame and cylinder, with replacement barrel marked “CSA / S. Car.” Brass trigger guard marked “A & D” under wooden grip. Initials “D. E. R.” scratched into trigger guard just below hammer. Impressions on bottom of grip and small gap between wood and brass guard; cylinder scene worn off. Little rust, and overall condition is very good. Based on the serial number, this pistol is believed to have been manufactured about 1851, and was obviously damaged during the war, requiring the replacement of the barrel and trigger guard, the former at a South Carolina armory, most likely Palmetto in Charleston, and the latter probably by Charleston gunsmith Allen and Dial. The impressions on the bottom of the grip indicate that the gun may have been used in a pinch to drive nails, suggesting that its owner was a cavalryman. A Colt Dragoon of this vintage is a desirable item in its own right, and the present pistol has the added fascination of being a demonstrably Confederate weapon Est. 7,500-10,000 whose condition gives tantalizing evidence of its history. A rare find! (photo)

Interesting ALS “W. Merritt,” 3 pages, 8vo, on stationery of the Grand Hotel, NY, June 16, 1891. He writes an unnamed general that “I...would gladly underatake the work and try to do justice to the life of my old Chief for whom my respect increases as time goes on, but I can promise nothing this summer” because of his wife’s illness. He suggests Gen James H Wilson or Col Fred C Newhall instead. Even age-toning, VG. Merritt served in only one campaign alongside both James H Wilson and Fred C Newhall; that was in the Shenandoah Campaign, leaving little doubt that the “old Chief” he refers to is Philip H Sheridan, who had died in 1888.

Thomas Major Union general during the Civil War (1816-70); earned the nickname “The Rock of Chickamauga” when his troops in that battle held while their comrades fled; in the Nashville Campaign, destroyed John Bell Hood’s army, ending major Confederate operations in the West. Scarce war-date Endorsement Signature “Geo. H. Thomas” as commander of the Army of the Cumberland, Eastport, Mississippi, January 20, 1865. Just a month after the end of the Nashville Campaign, he gives his approval to an application to Gov. William Stone of Iowa by brevet Brig. Genl. J.H. Wilson. Wilson requests “the appointment of J. Morris Young, Major of the 5th Iowa Cavalry, as Colonel of the same regiment vice Colonel W.W. Lowe mustered out. Major Young is a zealous, active, and acomplished officer fully capable of discharging the duties of Colonel with credit to himself and the Service.” Wilson goes on to recount Young’s gallant service at Duck River. Thomas approves the suggestion based on his confidence in Wilson’s opinion. Ex-Floyd Risvold Collection (photo - page 54)

If you can find a good deal and we can get as reasonable a price as possible in this business, you may purchase them for our joint account and draw on me for the sum, provided the packets accompany the drafts and that they do not exceed 3,000 Halifax louis...The pelts that sell best are the beaver, bear, otter, marten, and northern wolf; the cats suffered a very big loss.” Integral address panel with a large portion out, but letter itself is pristine, VG.

By the time of the second, John Jacob Astor had sold out, and Crooks owned the northern districts of the AFC. McKenzie had been fired by the company previously.

Assassination Archive 647a

[Lincoln]: Weichmann Archive Astonishing series of letters written to Louis J. Weichmann, a chief prosecution witness in the conspiracy trial of Lincoln assassination conspirators John Surratt, Mary Surratt, George Atzerodt, Lewis Payne, David Herold, Edmund Spangler, Michael O’Laughlen, Samuel Arnold, and Samuel Mudd. Weichmann had been a friend of John H Surratt, and his testimony placing the suspects together during the planning of the assassination helped hang Mrs. Surratt, Atzerodt, Payne, and Herold. One letter, from Luther B. Baker, who helped lead the chase for John Wilkes Booth, is in reply to Weichmann’s solicitation for book on the assassination; he states simply that “I will not at present subscribe. I inclose my circular which speaks for itself...I attended the great trial and was a witness at the trial of John H. Surratt...” Baker’s circular is for his own lectures on the assassination! The largest series of letters (21) is from Almarin C. Richards, former superintendent of the Washington Metropolitan Police, who led the first hours of the hunt after Booth and the others. Richards defends Weichmann from the “dastardly and scandalous attack upon your character by John H. Surrat” in his interview in the Washington Post,. where Surratt accused Weichmann of turning in his companions for money. Richards shares news about old colleagues and gives his own recollection of the case: “The man from whom we got the first information connecting Payne, Harold and Atzerot with Booth was a saloon keeper under or near the theatre named Ferguson.” Many of the letters are full of Richards’s recollections of the investigation, and he believes firmly in the guilt of Mrs. Surratt, still a controversial question today. Another six letters are from Dr. George Loring Porter, post surgeon at Washington Arsenal, the only military officer present at the secret burial of John Wilkes Booth, and the physician in charge of the other conspirators. He gives his opinions of them, including his belief that Mrs. Surratt’s Catholicism was not a motivation in her involvement in the assassination! With two TLS by Wm. H. Seward, son of the eponymous Secretary of State, informing Weichmann of the dates of his mother’s, sister’s, and brother Augustus’s deaths, and directing him to his brother Frederick Seward, survivor of Lewis Payne’s vicious knife attack on the night Lincoln was killed. With a typed letter directing Weichmann to Richards’s whereabouts (Florida) and an interesting typescript, 1897, by Edward G. Jones of Indiana, who asserts that Booth was never killed and a double was buried in his place! A unique group and a must-have for a Lincoln collection of depth.

An Exceedingly Rare and Unique Autograph Of The “Lost Dauphin”

648

Louis XVII, aka the Dauphin Louis-Charles Unique and exceedingly rare Copy Book Page Signed five times “Louis Charles” by way of penmanship practice, and again signed three times “Louis” in the prince’s regular hand at foot of page along with a few undeciphered words, apparently written to clean his pen of ink while doing his calligraphic exercises, 1 page, 4to, no place or date. With brief pen note on verso explaining in French that it is the “Writing of Louis XVII. This example was purchased by me at the sale of M. Dumensnil de St. Cyr, professor of writing to the unfortunate prince. – Tarbe.” Hinged at left edge to a page in a beautifully bound protective book with seven engravings of the doomed young king. A small piece out at upper right has been replaced with archival paper, otherwise VG. Louis-Charles (1785-95) was the second son of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and became crown prince when his brother Louis-Joseph died in June 1789. But he was never to reign, for France was about to erupt into a great revolution that would depose the Bourbon monarchy. After the storming of the Bastille on July 14, the nation was declared a republic; the four-year-old prince and his parents were forced to flee the palace at Versailles and were placed under house arrest. Two years later, they were moved to the tower of the Temple fortress as conflict between revolutionary factions reached a bloody climax known as the Reign of Terror. When King Louis XVI was executed by the republic’s Convention of Deputies on January 21, 1793, seven-year-old Louis-Charles succeeded to the throne in the eyes of royalists, becoming Louis XVII. But he would never live to take his throne. Louis was taken from his mother and put in the charge of a cobbler and his wife, and though he seems to have had sufficient food and adequate hygiene, it is believed that he was also taught to drink heavily. Surely the most disturbing incident during the young king’s imprisonment came in October 1793, when he was visited by revolutionary leaders who induced him, reportedly under the influence of strong drink, to sign a list of supposed crimes committed by his mother, Marie Antoinette, during her confinement in the Temple. The most shocking charge was that she had sexually abused the young Louis-Charles, whose shaky signature on the document, so unlike his usual childish but clean hand, gives credence to claims that he was impaired when he signed it. The list was used at Marie Antoinette’s trial, and though the claim of abuse was generally rejected at the trial, the verdict was never in doubt, and on October 16, she, like her husband, lost her head to the guillotine. Records for the little king’s subsequent imprisonment were later destroyed, but it is known that he was kept in seclusion, and many stories tell of his being confined in a cell with his own waste, with food passed through to him and no human contact. In mid-1794 he was given greater liberty within the Temple, but his health had already been shattered. Within a year, he was dead of lymphatic tuberculosis, passing on June 8, 1795. Questions soon arose whether he had actually escaped, and well into the nineteenth century people would claim to be the lost dauphin and the true heir to the French throne. Not until 2000 was all uncertainty removed when DNA testing showed that the dead prisoner’s preserved heart was indeed that of young Louis-Charles, King Louis XVII of France. A few other pages of Louis’s copy-book are known to exist, including one in the special collections at Harvard University’s Houghton Library, but we have found no record of one coming to auction in the past quarter century. Furthermore, the present example is the only one with Louis’s additional signatures at the bottom, taking it from an exceedingly rare autograph to a truly unique one. Who knows when another opportunity will arise to acquire this rarest of French Revolution autographs? Est. 50,000-100,000

Native Americans: [Chief War Eagle] Important manuscript surveyor’s report by RI Cleveland to the surveyor general of Wisconsin and Minnesota from Dubuque, Iowa, September 1, 1852. He writes of his work on the Big Sioux River, where on August 9 “We were hailed by Indians on the bluffs of the left bank, the first we had seen on the river...At this bend is located on the left bank an Indian Village, the presiding genius of which is a Canadian Frenchman Bruyer [Theophile Bruguier, former agent of the American Fur Company and now an Indian trader] by name, son-in-law to the Sioux Chief War Eagle, surrounded like a Scottish Chieftan with a long tail of dependent children of all ages & sexes, dogs, etc. The patriarch Chief gave us a cordial and friendly reception...& we remained over night, gladly availing ourselves of his hospitality...We proceeded on our raft down the Missouri some six miles to a point well known as Sargents bluff.” War Eagle had worked with Bruguier for the AFC, and the Canadian married two of the chief’s daughters. They settled at the point written of here in 1849. The spot would grow into present-day Sioux City, Iowa. The date of this letter should also correct the history books, which give War Eagle’s year of death as 1851. Clearly he was alive and sharing his hospitality as late as August 1852.

Report is 8vo format, with pages for the association’s different committee panels. The future president is identified as “Host and program supervisor of ‘The General Electric Theater’ since 1954.” In VG/F condition.

By 1960 the change was complete, and six years later he would be elected Governor of California. (photo - page 76)

Roosevelt, Franklin D. Outstanding association Typewritten Letter Signed “Franklin D. Roosevelt” as President, 1 page, 8vo, on White House stationery, Washington, December 16, 1936. He writes to semi-retired automobile magnate Walter P. Chrysler in New York with his thanks “for that particularly nice message you sent at election time. I...am sorry that I am so late in sending you this little note of appreciation...” The President has crossed through “Mr. Chrysler” in the typed salutation and replaced it in pen with “Walter.” Walter Chrysler had helped make Buick and Willys-Overland successful brands before striking it out with his own Chrysler Corp in 1925. Back in November, FDR had been re-elected in the largest electoral landslide in history, winning 523 electors to his opponent’s 8. (photo)

Roosevelt, Theodore Uncommon ALS “Theodore Roosevelt” as President, 2 pages, 8vo, on stationery embossed “White House / Washington” in silver, Jan. 14, 1909. He writes to his cousin and financial advisor W. Emlen Roosevelt, “While much relieved, we still share your great anxiety; I know just how you feel - the harassing worry, the sense of impotence, the desire that the doctor should actually ACCOMPLISH something. Give my love to [Emlen’s wife,] Christine.” Scant separation at fold, VG. Emlen Roosevelt was a successful banker and investor and a dedicated philanthropist in the family tradition. He was also perhaps President Roosevelt’s closest friend among all his relatives. This is one of the least common forms of a Theodore Roosevelt autograph, as most of his presidential correspondence was typed. (photo)

Sibley, John American government official and pioneer early southwest (1757-1837); as US Indian Agent, maintained friendly relation with Native Americans in Louisiana and the future Texas; helped set national policy in regard to the region, and spurred American interest in Texas. Interesting Autograph Letter Signed “John Sibley,” 1-1/2 pages, legal folio, Natchitoches, LA, Feb. 26, 1812. He writes the commissioners for adjusting land claims, in “Oppolousas” [Opelousas] to defend himself against the claim that “I had been purchasing up in this part of the country a number of small Land claims and was...claiming much larger quantities & that my claims, or such of them, would be rejected...Such a suggestion...is without the Shadow of truth...” He had been involved with one claim that was represented to him as containing more than it did, and washed his hands of it entirely. Light wear and usual toning, seal hole in blank integral page, VF. Later in 1812, Dr. Sibley would give support to the Gutierrez-Magee expedition into Texas to overthrow royalists there. After initial success, most of the Americans involved returned to Louisiana when it became evident they were helping one would-be autocrat overthrow another. Sibley’s earlier letters about Louisiana and Texas sell for five figures, making this an uncommon opportunity to acquire a modestly-priced example. Est. 1,500-2,000 From the John M.

Slavery: Grandy King George Fascinating Autograph Letter Signed “Grandy King George,” King of the Old Town Tribes at Old Calabar, an important port in present-day Nigeria, 1773. He writes merchant Ambrose Lace about the actions of the men on ships in Calabar River, particularly a pair named Bishop and Jackson, who were angry that George had sold slaves to one of their rivals. In retaliation, they “began to fire At my town With Out the Least Provecation & cuntinued It for Twenty four hours for Which I gave them two [Cones?] but It Seemed as after words Jackson Confirmed that that Bishop & him Was to Cary Away all our Pawns...Before he Saild he tould me that if I Went On bord of Bishop I shuld be Stoped by him & my hed Cut of & sent to the duke [Ephraim, George’s rival] at Nuetown, but I Put that out of his Power for to Cut of my hed or Cary of the Pawns by Stoping his Boat...If any ship fire at my Town, I will fire for ship Again...I want a good many Ships to Cum...I have Ofered him 10 Slaves to redeam the Pawns & Let him have his White Peeple but he Will Not...There is 4 of my sons gone alredy with Jackson & I dont Want Any more of them Caried off...” George asks Lace, who apparently had ended his father’s tenure as “grandy,” to send him a good ship so he can be grandy again and make peace, because war is too much for him. With ALS “Ephraim Robin John,” Grandy George’s younger brother, Calabar, December 24, 1775, written to Lace in Liverpool: “...As for Captain Sharp I will do anything lys in my power to obliged you when Captain Cooper Comes let him guns enough I want 2 gun for every slave I sell and father we Don’t want Iron only 2 for one slave. So no more at presant from your firend.” Both letters are worn, the first affecting text at the right edge of the page, the second with repairs on verso, one small piece off left edge but present, each G-VG. At the time of this letter, Calabar was one of the major slave trading posts on the western coast of Africa. Most of the slaves were Igbo, a people from Cameroon and other parts of Nigeria, though Ephraim and George would not have been Igbo. Years earlier, Grandy George and his family had vied for the slave trade with “Duke” Ephraim at New Town until the duke, with English allies, captured George and his brothers, and cut off one of their heads. The bullying attack by Jackson, which forced George to bribe him with slaves, shows how the family had fallen in power. Old Town continued to lose importance as a trading port, and would soon lose importance entirely. As for Captain Sharp, whom the two princes of Calabar seem to have trusted, he later sold Ephraim Robin Est. 2,000-3,000 John and one of his brothers into slavery. [2] (photo - page 80)

Wright, Orville American inventor and aviator (1870-1948); with his brother Wilbur, credited with achieving the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered heavier-than-air craft, in 1903. Intriguing TLS “Orville Wright,” 2/3 page, 4to, on his imprinted stationery, Dayton, OH, December 29, 1921. He writes Maxwell Barus of Fish, Richardson & Neave in New York about a license for which the US Navy has stopped paying in light of a report by Wright’s friend Griffith Brewer: “I have understood that [secretary of the Smithsonian Institution Charles D] Walcott, [aeronautical engineer Albert] Zahm and [aircraft pioneer Glenn] Curtiss have been trying to give the impression that Brewer’s paper was being published now for use in impending litigation...I felt certain at the time that this report [sic] that the Navy Department had stopped payment of license started from this source [sic]...” Lightly toned, VG/F. The Brewer paper demonstrated that an airplane developed in 1903 by Samuel Langley, one of the Wright brothers’ early rivals, could not have managed sustained flight. In spite of this evidence, Dr. Walcott had displayed Langley’s flyer in the Smithsonian as the first viable airplane. Glenn Curtiss (and his in-house expert, Zahm) would have been highly interested if Langley’s priority could be established, as it would destroy Wright’s position in a series of legal battles with Curtiss over early airplane patents. The Wright flyer ultimately took its place at the Smithsonian in 1948. (photo - page 80)

So write me Friday evening, so that I have Paul's choice...Saturday morning, by the first delivery. Another thing: tell Gaullet to hold five thousand francs for my use on Saturday.

Important Wyman-Owned Serial #1 Note

815

Fr. 26. $1 Legal Tender. 1875. No. N1. PCGS Very Fine 35 Apparent. From a combined historic and numismatic standpoint, the present lot is among the most important items to be offered this sale, as the opportunity to own a serial #1 Large Size banknote is an infrequent one indeed, but add to it the provenance of a former Treasurer of the United States, and one can essentially claim “league of its own” status. That is exact the combination present in this 1875 Series $1 Legal Tender note which bares the N1 serial number and was almost certainly the personal property of the notes signer, Treasurer of the United States, Albert U. Wyman Wyman, spent his earliest years working is Madison, WI, near where he was born, later moving to Omaha where he would establish himself in Banking. In 1863, Wyman become a clerk at the Office of the Treasurer of the United States. He would later be appointed Assistant Cashier. On June 29, 1876, the day after President Ulysses S. Grant’s nomination as Treasurer of the United States, he was confirmed by the Senate. He served in that position from July 8, 1876 till July 1, 1877. Wyman would serve a second stint as Treasurer under President Chester Arthur from April 1, 1883 to April 30, 1885. Given that Wyman served during the infancy of United States banknote issuance, his role is historically one of great significance. Our research, across many banknotes series during this period, suggests that serial #1 notes were printed either ceremonially and then released into circulation, or were presented to important people. The current note was obviously given for presentation purposes to Wyman, and when the Track and Price census is consulted, it appears printing resumed in quintuple digits, as N426621 is the second lowest number recorded for the Friedberg number. Given the dearth of low serial numbers available for any of the similarly designed “Washington” vignetted issues before the Series 1917 type, one would have to imagine further allure for these few single-digit survivors. The note itself remains quite attractive with vibrant ink on the red serial numbers and seals, the black ornamental lathework, vignettes and signatures, and the green back. Considerable body remains in the paper. The edges suggest hand trimming at one time. While clearly a keepsake, as is evidenced by the note remaining in the family for well over 100 years, it did not escape the handling that “forgotten” notes often do. Several light folds exist in the paper and, as a result of onetime display, numerous pinholes are evident at the center. As was notated by PCGS, several small paper scuffs are also appearent on the back within the Legal Tender/Counterfeiting clause. Very interesting is a very partial ink transfer on the back from the present bill resting on a stack of other freshly printed notes - one has to wonder what serial number they carried! All encompassed, this note offers multi-faceted appeal rarely encountered in banknotes - history, rarity, and beauty. This certainly is an opportunity that cannot be overstated for the serious collector of any of these. From the Wyman Family Collection (photo) Est. 25,000-30,000

Historic Western Timepiece 816

Albert U. Wyman Gold Presentation Pocket Watch. Manufactured by Appleton Tracy & Co. between 1866 and 1867 under its American Watch Co. brand. Roman numeral face with “American Watch Co.” on dial. Subset seconds dial. “Appleton Tracy & Co., Waltham, Mass” and “No. 280,077” on movement. Key winding with key. Movement set in 18K gold case, with subtly engine-turned exterior. Inside of dial cover showcases a charming engraving of Ohama Nation Bank building. The dust cover on back bares the engraving “A.U. Wyman / Compliments of the Omaha National Bank / 25th August 1869.” Displays in typical used condition with minor case wear. No cracks are seen on dial. Non-working at current and likely just needing of a minor tune-up. Wyman, spent his earliest years working is Madison, WI, near where he was born, later moving to Omaha where he would establish himself in Banking. In 1863, Wyman become a clerk at the Office of the Treasurer of the United States. He would later be appointed Assistant Cashier and would resign on January 1, 1868. On June 29, 1876, the day after President Ulysses S. Grant’s nomination as Treasurer of the United States, he was confirmed by the Senate. He served in that position from July 8, 1876 till July 1, 1877. Wyman would serve a second stint as Treasurer under President Chester Aurthur from April 1, 1883 to April 30, 1885. He finished his career at the Omaha Trust Company, later becoming its President. A wonderful relic of the early United States banking system, and an important link not only to the highest ranking political office in early American banking, but also to early Western banking. While Wyman did not holding the position of Treasurer in 1869 when the watch was gifted, it is clear that Wyman had established prominence in the Omaha-area banking by that date, already having worked for the Treasury. National Banknotes of this era from this rather Western outpost are scarce, with other relics, even the buildings that housed the banks, proving quite ephemeral. As such, the collector has an opportunity to obtain an item that not only holds merit in its provenance and beauty, but also carries with it the ever-popular Western allure.

Beautifully Engraved Keepsake 817

Albert U. Wyman Gold Presentation Pocket Watch. Manufactured by Elgin National Watch Company in 1882. Roman numeral number markers with “Elgin Nat’l Watch Co” on dial. Subset seconds dial. “Elgin Natl Watch Co.” and serial number “1146148” on movement. Stem-winding. Heavy 18K gold Dueber hunter case. Exceptionally engraved with overlapping “AUW” monogram at center on face cover with foliage surrounding arbor around. Back case displays scantily clad allegorical female scattering flowers at center (likely a symbol of prosperity) with same foliage surrounding arbor. Case in typical used condition with trivial marks. Enamel dial in new condition. Non-running at current. An phenomenal watch that, for its artistry alone deserves significant attention. Housed in its original box with accompanying letter that states this watch was a gift, by an unknown friend, given to Albert Wyman around 1880 (possibly upon his appointment as Treasurer of the United States for the second time). While the actual scenario by which Wyman came to receive this watch may never be known, it is safe to say, that in all likelihood, its roots lie in his connection to the banking industry (just as is obviously illustrated with the first watch). For the collector who is enamored with the history of American banking, this watch, like the previous lot, is as tangible and unique an item, from one of the leading names in mid-19th century banking system, as can be imagined. A wonderful opportunity that would be a priceless exhibit inclusion to a group of early U.S. banknotes issued during Wyman’s tenure as Treasurer. Manufacturer: Elgin Watch Co.

Fr. 96. $10 Legal Tender. 1869. No.H686578. Plate B. PMG Choice Very Fine. A pleasing so-called “Jackass Rainbow” note that gets its name from the multicolored ink on the front and the eagle on the bottom of the note that appears to be a jackass with viewed upside down. A hard vertical center fold and several lesser folds that flank the center are apparent and help to define the grade. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 800-1,000

Fr. 99. $10 Legal Tender. 1878. No.A1323477. PMG About Uncirculated 55. A sharp single signature pairing type with bold color on both sides and sharply squared corners. Inspection under a light reveals no obvious maladies and for the collector looking to add a note with the look of a CU representative, the present opportunity is certainly a notable one. A much better Friedberg number with only 34 examples having thus far being certified by PMG. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 1,500-2,000

Fr. 108. $10 Legal Tender. 1880. No.A9978567. Plate C. PMG Choice Unc 64 EPQ. An impressive large brown seal Legal Tender with fresh boldly inked paper that, when inspected from the back, reveals boldly stamped embossing that is sure to impress even the most demanding collector. Further inspection does show a corner tick, but it keeps far from the frame line and in combination with a tight lower front margin, surely prevented a lofty gem designation. A very tough note this nice with only 3 examples having been designated finer by PMG. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 1,000-1,500

835 835

Fr. 215. $1 Silver Certificate. 1886. No.11872759. PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ. A new to the census example of this popular type note that features the offset vignette of Martha Washington on the face. Fresh for the grade and worthy of the awarded EPQ designation. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 300-500

836 836 834 834

Fr. 147. $20 Legal Tender. 1880. No.A4616384A. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45. An impressively designed type that maintains brightly contrasted black and red ink on the face with vibrant green on back. The paper maintains a fresh look with an evident trifold, mostly visible on the back, that defines the grade level. A new to census example. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 600-800

Fr. 224. $1 Silver â&#x20AC;&#x153;Educationalâ&#x20AC;? Certificate. 1896. No.27046136. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ. A wonderful, fully margined mid-grade example with loads on maintained originality. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 600-800

Fr. 225. $1 Silver Certificate. 1896. No.46515186. PMG Choice Abt Unc 58 EPQ. Because of the beautiful allegorical scenes, the Educational series is perhaps the most popular series of banknotes ever issued. The one dollar denomination features History instructing youth with the Constitution at right and Capitol and Washington Monument in the background. The margins of this Choice About Uncirculated specimen are pleasingly broad with sharp corners. No limiting imperfections are noted upon close inspection through the PMG plastic, and one would certainly have to award a Gem appearance. Sure to be one of the more sought-after notes in The Waldman Collection, as one would be hard pressed to find a note of similar quality at the estimate level.

Unusual Inverted Back Duece

840 840

Fr. 281. $5 Silver Certificate. 1899. No. N46361810. PCGS Very Fine 30. Avidly sought by the Banknote fraternity and general populace alike with the note’s face, along with the famed Bison $10, being among the most truly American images presented on paper money. The present note is ideally preserved for either group, as even circulation is present, with no traceable distractions of significance. An affordable example with eye appeal just short of an EF at a considerably lessoned price tag. (photo) Est. 500-600

839 839

Fr. 249. $2 Error Silver Certificate. 1899. No. A8282329. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. Inverted back error. One of the more exciting Large Size notes in the sale, as upon inspection from the face, all looks normal, until the back is viewed and one sees that something went terribly wrong. While other examples of this inverted back note are known, it is hard to fathom that the demand, given the overwhelming eye appeal, could ever be satisfied. Almost amazingly, the present note, like most of the observed survivors, experienced a long tenure of circulation, with no signs of color fade or heavy soiling. PCGS does call out a small internal tear at right, but inspection appears to yield little more than an pinhole to the left of the seal. For the type or error collector, a fabulous opportunity and one that is sure to result in considerable pride of ownership and limitless “show-and-tells.” (photo) Est. 1,000-1,500

Iconic Silver $10

842 842

Fr. 304. $10 Silver Certificate. 1908. No. D23063239. “Tombstone”. PMG Choice Very Fine 35. Bright color remains on both sides with ample body left in the paper. A popular note that has rightfully earned its “tombstone’” name due to the placement of Thomas Hendricks within the central panel. New to the census and certain to be targeted by the mid-tier type collector. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 800-1,000

841 841

Fr. 287. $10 Silver Certificate. 1880. No.B1166611. Radar Note. PMG Very Fine 30. An iconic Silver Certificate issue with the back boldly reading SILVER at center. This note, like all of the type are highly demanded at any grade level, with CU examples of the present Scofield/Gilfillan signature combination being particularly difficult to locate. The current note, previously unrecorded in the census, is honestly circulated with light dirtiness evident on the reverse paper, along with numerous vertical folds that further define the grade. Unquestionably an important note for the mid-grade collector. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 2,500-3,000

www.SpinkSmythe.com

843 843

Fr. 321. $20 Silver Certificate. 1891. No. H608375. PMG Very Fine 30. Attractive for the grade with nice centering and unsoiled white paper that remains evidently fresh. Several light folds and two pinholes below Daniel Manning are present, but neither significantly mar the eye appeal. One of around 100 examples of the signature combination to thus far receive third-party certification. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 1,000-1,500

846

Fr. 351. $1 Treasury Note. 1891. No.B48018037. PMG Choice Very Fine 35. An affordable circulated Ace that features Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War under Lincoln, in a left of center oval vignette. While generally available even in high grades, this example will surely please the collector on a budget or new entrant to the hobby. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 150-250

845 845

Fr. 351. $1 Treasury Note. 1891. No. B43025534. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. A popular type with ideally spaced margins, vivid color, and unsoiled paper. Confirmed by close inspection, PCGS has awarded the Premium Paper Quality designation to this note. While not scarce in the absolute sense, this exceptional specimen begs for addition to a high-end type collection. (photo) Est. 1,300-1,500

847 847

Fr. 370. $10 Treasury Note. 1891. No.B2198853. PMG About Unc 53. A imposing type with Commander in Chief of the U.S. Army Philip Sheridan in large central oval vignette. The paper on this AU example remains fresh in appearance with bright white paper and boldly contrasted ink. Minor folds are evident upon close inspection, but none are readily apparent to the eye, giving this specimen the look of a higher graded example. (photo) Est. 1,000-1,500

Fr. 713. $1 FRBN. 1914. No.B77002103A. PMG Gem Unc 65 EPQ. Refreshingly original with crisp white paper and expansive margins on both sides. While not uncommon as a type, Gems are elusive and hold a heighted allure with type collectors. A new note to the census with serial numbers that are set apart from known runs. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 400-600

850

Fr. 833A. $5 Federal Reserve Note. 1914. No.B11345383A. PMG Choice Unc 64 EPQ. An incredibly popular red seal example with paper undulations remaining in the paper that signal uncommon paper originality. Further inspection reveals boldly raised embossing on the seal and serial number and color that is similarly appealing. For the collector that is attracted to conditional rarities, the present will surely be a target as PMG has only deemed 2 notes (including the present) worthy of the Choice Uncirculated grade with only 5 meeting the standards of a Gem. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 1,000-1,500

849 849

Fr. 757. $2 Federal Reserve Bank Note. 1918. No.D574A. PMG Choice Unc 64 EPQ. A lovely Choice Uncirculated example of this endlessly demanded Battleship Deuce type. The paper retains full body upon close inspection with bold ink and colors that hold a “just off the press” look. While fairly typical of Uncirculated examples of the type, the top and bottom margins are a bit tight and preclude the Gem designation. Ex. 1998 CAA Sale, Lot 1753. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 1,500-2,000

853 853

Fr. 1180. $20 Gold Certificate. 1905. No.A1696971. PMG Very Fine 25. As were most survivors, the present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Technicolorâ&#x20AC;? Twenty is well circulated with bright color on the face and typical color retention on the oft-faded orange back. Several hard folds contribute to the grade, but none are out of place or detract from the VF appearance. Among the most desired type notes as a result of boldly contrasted yellow and red ink on the notes face and the relatively limited number of survivors.

This test paper issue for Series $1 1977A Federal Reserve Notes is exceedingly scarce. The mule variety is even scarcer. Only two series on experimental test paper were issued prior to this; the first in 1928, and the second in 1935 for silver certificates. Both were short runs and are difficult to obtain.

IN. Lebanon. Ch. 2057. First NB. $1 Original Series. Fr. 381. No. 401 / D328410. PMG Choice About Unc 58 EPQ. A fortuitous note for type collectors, as Aces and Deuces from the First National Bank of Lebanon are well known hoard notes, and serve to satisfy demand that would otherwise go unquenched. The surfaces of the present remain refreshingly original with bold black and red ink on the obverse and green and black on the reverse. Several minor corner bends account for the grade, but are not readily apparent until closely inspected. From the Waldman Collection (photo) Est. 1,500-2,000

1005 1005

CA. San Francisco. Ch.1741. First National Gold Bank. $5 Coin. Fr.1136. No.K275287. PMG Very Good 10. One of most desirable Federal banknotes available to collectors, not only because of the extremely limited survival rate, but perhaps most because of the depiction of a pile of circulating gold coins as the central vignette on the back. For collectors that wish to obtain an example, one must usually settle for a low grade example, more often than not with discernable â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-circulationâ&#x20AC;? issues. The present example, while showing heavy circulation, is free of such problems, and as such is ideal for the collector who aspires to fill what would otherwise be a void.

A wonderful example of this “Circus Poster” Brown Back type and certainly one of the finer existing examples from this bank.

NE. Ashland. Ch. 2921. NB of Ashland. $5 BB. Fr. 467. No. Z265093 / 4550. PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ. An impressive, rarely available large size Nebraska National Banknote from Ashland. The present note was clearly carefully preserved through its life as the originality is a good as it gets - the paper retains the beautiful undulations that are characteristic of an unpressed note and the embossing is impeccably executed. Taken from the top of a sheet, the upper selvage remains and serves to add to the note’s allure. What appears to be a soft vertical fold sits near the far left margin and prevented CU certification. From the family of Treasurer of the United States Albert Wyman, and along with the other memorabilia in this auction, the archive forms one of the neater keepsakes available from a luminary of the mid-19th century U.S. banking system. Worthy of strong bidder competition. From the Wyman Family Collection (photo) Est. 6,000-8,000

Light fading of the stamped signatures is noted. A relatively available bank with 46 large size examples known - 26 being this type. Printed without the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eâ&#x20AC;? prefix and as such, with a printing date prior to 1902. XF. (photo) Est. 400-600

PA. West Chester. Ch. 148. First NB. $5 1929 T2. Fr. 1800-2. No. A008481. A rare Type 2 example from this bank, as it issued $5s, $10s, and $20s, with very few of any denomination being known and only five of the $5 denomination having made the census. The present note is a wholesome original representative, with considerably rigidity left in the paper and nicely retained embossing that is boldly evident when viewed from the back. Numerous unobtrusive folds define the grade. Possibly finest known. A strong VF. (photo) Est. 600-800

The surfaces of the notes remain quite nice with fresh paper and nicely justified margins. A single vertical fold is evident and appears to have possibly been in the paper prior to printing. Nicely embossed. AU, with the possibility of a CU designation when certified if the services see the fold as pre-existing. (photo) Est. 1,000-1,500

One of only two notes in the census, with its mate in the census, a VF, realizing $546.25 in 2008 when last offered. Who knows when one will be seen again. Fine. (photo) Est. 400-600

1923-S 5 Cents. XF. As a result of worn dies, considerable granularity is evident in the fields with highpoints that show moderate wear. An even olive-gold tone adds to the original appearance. Est. 100-150

1033

1876 20 Cents. VF Details, Environmental Damage. Deeply toned on both sides with evident granularity on the rims in the form of light corrosion that suggests extended exposure to adverse environments. Still, a popular short-lived type representative and certainly desirable as a hole-filler. From the Wyman Family Collection Est. 150-250

1034

1805 50 Cents. Fine. A well-worn, but attractive example of this Draped Bust type with the much desired “circulated cameo” appearance that sets the obverse is contrast with the deeply toned fields. One of the more affordable examples available that doesn’t hold significant problems. From the Wyman Family Collection Est. 200-400

1035

1820 50 Cents. VF Details, Cleaned. Lightly but unabrasively cleaned in the past with an attractive mixture of multicolored patina that boosts the eye appeal to a considerably collectible level. From the Wyman Family Collection Est. 150-250

1823 50 Cents. PCGS Genuine. An absolutely stunning representative of the date with a strike, that while sharply executed, does reveal considerable doubling on Liberty’s face. Champagne, tan, and bluish-gray toning envelopes both sides, but fails to impede the luster. Light grazes, while hardly evident without the aid of a loupe, impedes near-Gem plus certification.

1918 50 Cents. NGC MS64. Besides 1917-dated examples from Philadelphia, all Walking Liberty halves from the teens are tough to find at the near-Gem level and prized by collectors.

1917 50 Cents. NGC Uncirculated Details, Reverse Improperly Cleaned. Typically soft luster adorns both sides with streaky tan patina running horizontally across the surfaces. The reverse “cleaning” is exceptionally slight and remains essentially invisible without intense inspection. Est. 60-80

1918-S 50 Cents. NGC MS63. Mostly white with a bold strike for the date and few mentionable marks on both sides. Close inspection reveals a myriad of die polish lines that contribute to the satin-like luster in the fields. A better S-mint offering, this date is quite challenging at the Uncirculated level with Select offerings often quickly finding themselves in strong hands. The present will surely be no exception.

1889-CC 1 Dollar. AU Details, Cleaned. Perhaps the most recognizable date in the Morgan dollar series, this date not only carries the alluring CC mintmark, but for the tens of thousands of collectors that are assembling a Morgan dollar set, the 1889-CC is one of the major hurdles that need to be jumped with a relatively low mintage of 350,000 and a minimum value of around $400. The present example retains much of its original detail, and while cleaned, the surfaces have retoned to a golden-tan that holds underlying iridescence. A true prize this nicely preserved.

Attractive Mid-Grade Early Five

1083 1083

1798 “Large 8, 13 Star Reverse” 5 Dollars. PCGS AU53. Breen-6426, BD-2, R.5. Among the most popular types in American numismatics, as Robert Scot’s depiction of a capped Liberty remains as one of the most acclaimed portrayals to be rendered at the time up till present day. The reverse design, a change from the initial small eagle, was adapted to convey greater strength with a shield placed in front of the eagle’s breast, wings powerfully outstretched, and arrows placed within the eagle’s right talons. This present example is as original and attractive as one might be able to possibly expect from a commerce-participating coin from this era. Honest wear is evidence of passing from pocket to pocket and over numerous counters; of being co-mingled with other coinage of the period. As a result, light marks do reside in the fields and only slightly impede original luster. A gorgeous overlay of reddish patina sits towards portions of the peripheries, signaling gentle treatment since the time it left circulation. Numerous clash marks and die cracks (as-made) are visible on both side and add character to the design. A exemplary opportunity for the connoisseur of early American money with the added bonus of having been once owned by Treasurer of the United States, Albert U. Wyman.

1084 1084

1802/1 5 Dollars. PCGS XF40. Breen-6440, BD8, R.4. An ideal example for the budget-conscious collector, as often, well-circulated examples of this type are prone to have picked up significant maladies over the decades from members in the numismatic community trying to improve their appearance. The current example maintains decidedly high-end eye appeal with contrasting wear atop the highpoints and blushes of copper color towards the peripheries. A small die crack is noted from the R in AMERICA to the leave in the eagle’s talon and distinguishes the variety. Again, a wonderful, and infrequent opportunity in this state of preservation.

Still, very eye appealing and appearing fit for the MS64 level. Ex. R.L. Miles Collection - Stack’s October 25-25, 1968. (photo) Est. 600-800

Storied Paquet $20 Rarity

1085 1085

1861-S Paquet Reverse 20 Dollars. PCGS AU50. Secure holder. The 1861-S Paquet Twenty is the rarest of all the San Francisco Mint issues and the details behind its production makes it, for good reason, one of the most heavily sought-after coins within the entire series. As significant research has unfolded over the years, Anthony Paquet, the assistant engraver at the Philadephia Mint, was asked to prepare a newly stylized reverse die for usage on circulating 1861 coins. In accordance with this request, Paquet prepared dies, four of which were sent in November of 1860 to the San Francisco Mint for usage on the following year’s coinage. These dies, while extremely similar to the previous type, carried taller lettering on the reverse legends and, as a result of the necessity to machine the die down so that it would fit properly into the collar, a slightly higher relief. Early in January of 1861, the Philadelphia Mint decided this new design created a narrow rim and would pose striking issues, thus deciding to discontinue the design. Word was sent to San Francisco, but didn’t travel fast enough. On February 9, 1861 Charles H. Hempstead, superintendent of the San Francisco Mint replied, “I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 5th, ‘overland,’ which however did not come to hand until the second [of February]. I was, therefore, unable to prevent the striking and issuing of a large number of double eagles, coined with the new dies. The amount issued was $385,000.” This amount resulted is a total maximum of 19,250 Paquet Reverse coins being released in circulation. Despite initial recognition in the numismatic community, the existence of this type was widely ignored, largely in-part because the popularity of the series and collecting coins by date did not reach a level of significance until the early portions of the 20th century. Combined with what can be described as subtle differences in appearance, few examples from this original release remain in existence. Today, give or take around 200 examples have been located with no Uncirculated examples having been found and most existing in the XF grade. The certification services seem to confirm the survival rates as PCGS and NGC have certified a 143 examples combined. Surviving examples are commonly characterized as having a wellmarked appearance with an uninspired central strike. Grade aside, the current example is among the nicer examples that have appeared on the market in recent memory. The surfaces maintain bright yellow-gold color with with luster that clings to the peripheries. Marks are present, but carry a uniformity so as not to upset the eye. The strike, as is typical, lacks full completeness in the centers, but the peripheral stars, often highlighting a weak strike, are pleasingly detailed. Several minor copper blushed on the obverse, confirm that the coin remains in its original state and hasn’t undergone the “improvement” process that plagues so many coins today. For the advanced collector, the opportunity is certainly a significant one that will likely be without duplication in the near term. (photo) Est. 70,000-80,000
