1918 $2 Large Size National Currency "Battleship" The Federal Reserve Bank Of St. Louis, MO Grades x

Lot # 12346 (Sale Order: 701 of 1116)      

1918 $2 Large Size National Currency "Battleship" The Federal Reserve Bank Of St. Louis, MO Grades xf+ FR-769. Somewhat similar to the language seen on National Bank Not...morees, the notes themselves were actually backed by bonds deposited with the United States Treasury by the individual Federal Reserve bank. Forever confusing new collectors, the top of these notes read “NATIONAL CURRENCY” but they are not what is referred to as National Bank Notes. Starting off with the main attraction to these interesting banknotes is the design on the back, with its imposing visage of the 27,000-ton USS New York dreadnought battleship. The vignette was never labeled on the note itself and was intended to be generic, but in comparing it to an image of New York it is clear the two are the same. The face of the note has a vignette of third United States President Thomas Jefferson; his first appearance on the Federal $2 bill was on the Series of 1869 Legal Tender, and he can be found there on modern $2 notes to this day.

Up For Auction is a 173- MARSHALL FIELDS 10 Coin UNC Morgan $1 Roll Rare BLUE Lvl Roll Weighing 27...more0.2 g Based On this weight this is a UNC Roll We are very excited to present over 1,500 Silver Dollar Rolls from what we are calling “The Department Store Hoard”. Inside this hoard was a huge estate of hundreds of silver dollar rolls. The sheer size of it was unprecedented. Throughout the early-mid 1900’s the collector of the estate acquired hundreds of coin rolls of all different types. His family tells us that he was at one point a buyer for Macys and then a suit wholesaler to various department stores. While in these stores he would often pick up “investment rolls” at a lower price than they were offering the public. In his collection, we found original numismatic advertisements, catalogs, newspapers, and magazines from a wide array of places used to order these rolls and various other coins in his collection.There were 10-15 different types of roll’s in this collection. However, the vast majority were stamped “Gimbels, Marshall Field, and Sears”. Among this collection are 10 and 20 coin rolls. Most of the covered end rolls are marked “Morgan, Peace, and Mixed”. The Marshall Field rolls differentiate themselves based on the color printing on the outer edge of the roll. We found rolls in red, blue, green, and a few in the illustrious black. One of the ends of the roll is stamped “Morgan” or “Peace” designating what type is found inside. With Marshall Field being a high end department store (comparable to Neimen Marcus or Bloomingdales today), it was no surprise that these rolls are the nicest rolls any of us have come across in any of our careers. The find of a lifetime. We have spent months going through this collection and identifying everything. We have opened several rolls of every type and did not find any that were miss marked. Based on all of our findings and what we have found when we opened various rolls, we have estimated the values of what we believe each variation tends to have.There were a lot of rolls in this hoard and the different kinds are quite confusing, Corey has made a PDF explaining each variety and what he has found in a bit more depth. If you are interested in a copy, send us an email at jordan@kdcauction.com and we’ll send one right over.The agreement with the Consignee is that we wire on Friday their portion of the funds for any rolls paid that week and on Mondays we will send our runner up to New York to retrieve the rolls for shipment that week from our offices as well as photographing the rolls for the next week's auction. We hope you enjoy these rolls as much as we have bringing them to you.

1891 $10 Red Seal Silver Certificate "Tombstone" Grades vf+ Signatures Tillman/Morgan

Lot # 12354 (Sale Order: 706 of 1116)      

1891 $10 Red Seal Silver Certificate "Tombstone" Grades vf+ Signatures Tillman/Morgan. Listed as #85 in 100 Greatest American Currency NotesPoor Thomas Hendricks. The ma...moren served as Grover Cleveland’s vice president for only a few months, from March 4, 1885 to November 25, 1885, before dying of natural causes in his sleep. Less than a year later, a $10 Silver certificate was issued that featured his portrait. And, in what may NOT have been an accident, the artists at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing framed him in what appeared to be a tombstone. Besides prompting some initial claims of poor taste by a grieving public, the design also led to these certificates being nicknamed “Tombstone Notes” – a moniker that was destined to forever overshadow the former Vice President depicted on its surface.As it turns out, this story isn’t just sad, but spooky as well, since the design and even production of this certificate began before Hendricks passed away! First issued in 1886, the design was issued again in 1891 and 1908. Hendricks remains the only vice president who did not serve as president whose portrait appears on U.S. paper currency. The intriguing history behind this note has led it to being listed as #85 in Q. David Bowers’ book 100 Greatest American Currency Notes.Here’s your chance to make the famous $10 “Tombstone Note” part of your collection with this scarce note Thomas A. Hendricks (1819-1885) was a popular politician from Indiana who served in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. He was also Indiana’s 16th Governor before being elected as the nation’s 21st vice president. Unknown to most people, however, was the popular Democrat’s poor health. Hendricks suffered a paralytic stroke in 1880, and while he was able to return to public life, he could no longer stand for any length of time. No one outside his family knew of his health issues and with his popularity unblemished, Hendricks ran as Grover Cleveland’s running mate in the 1884 Presidential election. Serving less than a year as vice president, Hendricks died unexpectedly during a trip home to Indianapolis. The vice presidency remained vacant after his death until Levi P. Morton assumed office in 1889 following the election of Benjamin Harrison as the nation’s 23rd President.Share the story of this eerily prophetic piece of numismatic history and secure yours today!

1927-p Gold Indian Quarter Eagle Near Top Pop! $2 1/2 GEM+ Unc USCG

Lot # 12355 (Sale Order: 707 of 1116)      

1927-p Near Top Pop! Gold Indian Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 GEM+ Unc USCG. Per David Akers of PCGS "The 1927 is similar in overall rarity to the 1926 and can be obtained...more without much difficulty in MS-65 or lower condition. Gem quality specimens are available from time to time but certainly cannot be found in any great quantity. As with all the Pratt $2.5 and $5 issues, there is a dramatic drop-off in availability above MS-65 condition, and, for all practical purposes, superb quality examples, although they certainly do exist, are virtually unobtainable.Like the 1926 and the other late Philadelphia Mint issues, the 1927 is usually very well struck with very good lustre and color. The color is similar to the 1926; that is, specimens range from light rose gold to a richer greenish gold. Along with the 1926, this issue is generally the most attractive of the series in high grade. "

1886 $2 Large Size Silver Certificate General Winfield Scott Hancock Grades vf, very fine Signatures

Lot # 12362 (Sale Order: 712 of 1116)      

1886 $2 Large Size Silver Certificate General Winfield Scott Hancock Grades vf, very fine Signatures Rosecrans/Jordan. FR-240 While Silver Certificates began in 1878, th...moree Series of 1886 would be the first issuance of denominations smaller than $10. These lower denominations would see a lot of circulation given their smaller face values and their replacing the heavy silver dollars that people didn’t like using in commerce. Along the left border of the face is printed “ACT OF AUGUST 4, 1886,” referring to an appropriations act that allowed Silver Certificates to be printed in denominations of $1, $2, and $5.Also at the left is a portrait of General Winfield Scott Hancock. With a military career that spanned the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War, the General was considered a war hero worthy of being featured on U.S. banknotes.In 1865 Hancock was tasked with supervising the execution of the Abraham Lincoln assassination conspirators, and in 1880 he ran for president as the Democratic nominee. Hancock died on February 9th, 1886, mere months before the act authorizing these banknotes was passed. So, his portrait was a logical choice.The text known as the “obligation” on the face of the note reads: THIS CERTIFIES THATTHERE HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED IN THETREASURYOF THEUNITED STATESTWO SILVER DOLLARSPayable to the bearer on demand,Washington D.C. The back of the note, all in green, showcases an elaborate mixture of geometric designs, some reminiscent of flowers along with other plant life. In a serpentine layout is “UNITED STATES SILVER CERTIFICATE” and further legal tender text stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS RECEIVABLE FOR CUSTOMS, TAXES AND ALL PUBLIC DUES, AND WHEN SO RECEIVED MAY BE REISSUED.”At the bottom is the familiar printer logo “BUREAU, ENGRAVING & PRINTING.”

1880-1909 Indian Cent 1c 30 Coin Collectors Set

Lot # 12376 (Sale Order: 723 of 1116)      

1880-1909 Indian Cent 1c 30 Coin Collectors Set . Enjoy thisSet of 30 consecutively dated Indian Head cents last issued over a century ago! You’ll get one Indian...more Head cent from each year spanning 1880-1909.The Indian Head cent, also known as an Indian Head penny, was a one-cent coin ($0.01) produced by the United States Bureau of the Mint from 1859 to 1909. It was designed by James Barton Longacre, the Chief Engraver at the Philadelphia Mint.From 1793 to 1857, the cent was a copper coin about the size of a half dollar. The discovery of gold in California caused a large inflation in prices. As gold became more abundant, the price of copper rose. Cent and half-cent manufacture was one of the only profit centers for the Mint and by 1850 it began looking for alternatives. In 1857, the Mint reduced the size of the cent and changed the composition to 12% nickel and 88% copper (copper-nickel), issuing a new design, the Flying Eagle cent. The new pieces were identical in diameter to modern cents, though thicker. This was the first use of copper-nickel for United States coins. The copper-nickel made them look brighter and they began to be called "White cent" or "Nicks".In 1858, the Flying Eagle was replaced with the Indian head design. The Flying Eagle design caused production difficulties and the Mint soon looked to replace it. Mint Director James Ross Snowden selected the Indian Head design and chose a laurel wreath for the reverse, that was replaced in 1860 by an oak wreath with a shield. Cents were hoarded during the economic chaos of the American Civil War, when the metal nickel was in short supply. As Mint officials saw that privately-issued bronze tokens were circulating, they induced Congress to pass the Coinage Act of 1864, authorizing a slimmer cent of bronze alloy.In the postwar period, the cent became very popular and was struck in large numbers in most years. An exception was 1877, when a poor economy and little demand for cents created one of the rarest dates in the series. With the advent of coin-operated machines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, even more cents were produced, reaching 100 million for the first time in 1907. In 1909, the Indian Head cent was replaced by the Lincoln cent, designed by Victor D. Brenner.

1908 $10 Blue Seal Silver Certificate "Tombstone" Grades xf Signatures Parker/Burke. Listed as #85 in 100 Greatest American Currency NotesPoor Thomas Hendricks. The man ...moreserved as Grover Cleveland’s vice president for only a few months, from March 4, 1885 to November 25, 1885, before dying of natural causes in his sleep. Less than a year later, a $10 Silver certificate was issued that featured his portrait. And, in what may NOT have been an accident, the artists at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing framed him in what appeared to be a tombstone. Besides prompting some initial claims of poor taste by a grieving public, the design also led to these certificates being nicknamed “Tombstone Notes” – a moniker that was destined to forever overshadow the former Vice President depicted on its surface.As it turns out, this story isn’t just sad, but spooky as well, since the design and even production of this certificate began before Hendricks passed away! First issued in 1886, the design was issued again in 1891 and 1908. Hendricks remains the only vice president who did not serve as president whose portrait appears on U.S. paper currency. The intriguing history behind this note has led it to being listed as #85 in Q. David Bowers’ book 100 Greatest American Currency Notes.Here’s your chance to make the famous $10 “Tombstone Note” part of your collection with this scarce note Thomas A. Hendricks (1819-1885) was a popular politician from Indiana who served in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. He was also Indiana’s 16th Governor before being elected as the nation’s 21st vice president. Unknown to most people, however, was the popular Democrat’s poor health. Hendricks suffered a paralytic stroke in 1880, and while he was able to return to public life, he could no longer stand for any length of time. No one outside his family knew of his health issues and with his popularity unblemished, Hendricks ran as Grover Cleveland’s running mate in the 1884 Presidential election. Serving less than a year as vice president, Hendricks died unexpectedly during a trip home to Indianapolis. The vice presidency remained vacant after his death until Levi P. Morton assumed office in 1889 following the election of Benjamin Harrison as the nation’s 23rd President.Share the story of this eerily prophetic piece of numismatic history and secure yours today!
