Tons of eye appeal make this beauty a real winner. We have always loved the fancy red ornamentation on these early legals and it shows beautifully on this one. This nicely embossed A plate note shows a slightly larger top margin with the bottom one very nice. We love these AU58 notes and we think that you will too. All the look of a CU with any wear or fold very hard to see. SOLD

Bold colors and strong originality are readily apparent on this tougher type note! The bold blue serial#s and large dark peach colored seal offer great contrast against the clean, bright paper. This is one of the 145 of this Fr# known per the Track&Price census, one of 25 in the VF grade. It is well margined with a larger top margin showing due to its A plate position. This type is readily available in high grade but this collector grade example offers many collectors a good chance to add this neat note to their collections. With the other Fr#s for this type, Fr# 32 and 33, much rarer, this one should be perfect for the type. We like what we see in the slab and guarantee that you will too! The lack of an EPQ designation is a mystery to us.

A fresh and original note with crispy paper and good color. There is a slightly sharper center fold, along with a close bottom margin. A sharp example of this common but popular type note.

The originality is readily apparent thru the holder making the lack of a PPQ designation is a mystery to us. Nice embossing is readily seen, along with several folds and sharp corners. Clean paper, excellent color and well balanced margins add to its desirability and eye appeal.

A very popular one year type, the last of the large $1 legals. We love to have notes in this grade as they offer superb eye appeal and are a bit easier on the pocketbook. We see a light center bend and a small spot in the left margin, a minor paper inclusion that is mentioned for full disclosure. The paper is fresh and original with great color and well balanced margins.

A great looking note, well margined and boldly inked with strong colors. We have always liked these 1880 legals in all denominations. This D plate note has a larger bottom margin that is beautifully balanced with the broad side margins. PCGS assigns a Gem65PPQ grade, one that we cannot dispute. It comes from one of many small runs of CU notes that were saved many years ago.

As is usual with notes in this grade, the folds or wear are just about impossible to see thru the holder. It appears ChCU at first glance as it has good margins for the issue, square corners and clean bright paper. It offers a lot of eye appeal at less than a ChCU price making it perfect for many collectors.

A wonderful example of this first $5 legal, loaded with originality and eye appeal. Good margins, bold green color, deep red seal and clean crispy paper all add up to a super note that fits the 64 grade just perfectly. With nice embossing and paper wave, we cannot understand the lack of a PPQ designation as it surely deserves it! SOLD

The eye appeal far exceeds the technical grade on this great looking Rainbow $5! Well margined on both sides with strong color, it has plenty to offer. The only fold that we can see is an offcenter vertical fold that does not touch any of the design and in no way affects its excellent look. We notice a couple of pinholes that show when backlit and a couple of corner folds, neither affecting its look. A fancy serial# K4860000* is a plus. It is an excellent collector grade note as more than 2/3 of the 600 notes in the Track&Price census are CU - and only 25 are listed as XF. That's hardly enough to satisfy the demand generated by many collectors who find these XF or AU just notes perfect for their collections.

The fancy red ornamentation on this 1 year type adds to its sharp eye appeal. The Track&Price census shows 163 known, 116 CUs, only 12 listed as AU! This one is new to the census and fits within a small run of CUs. We have always liked these earlier Woodchoppers and never seem to have enough to satisfy the demand. There is a large corner fold at the upper left and a few smaller corner folds. Good embossing is evident thru the holder. An APPARENT grade is the result of some tape residue at the top, something that has very little effect on its strong eye appeal. A minor problem but you decide how it affects you. SOLD

A neat looking early Woodchopper with a large brown seal and red serial#s. A stunning note that has a dark brown seal and bold inking on bright white paper. Good embossing is evident, as expected for this series. The slightly soft and rounded corners do not affect the design but are also common to this series. Looks CU at first glance and has much to offer to a collector who likes this series. SOLD

Cavernous embossing and great color highlight this most eye appealing earlier series Woodchopper. It features a large red, spikeless seal and blue serial #s that contrast very nicely with the bold inking and bright paper. While we are used to seeing this type well embossed, this one is even better than most. A minor wrinkle at the lower right is likely the reason that a 64PPQ grade was not assigned. It is minor and has no effect on its look.

This popular Jackass note is the last of the 14 Fr#s for this series, also the most common making it perfect for the type. Good margins and very solid edges, along with good color, add up to a sharp note that fits the VF20 grade very well. Lots to like about this sharp note. A couple of pinholes are minor and not a problem.

The ever popular Bison note, one that is a must for every large size type collection! This note has a bold red overprint with the paper fully original with excellent snap and crispness. A well repaired small tear is at the top and is but a very minor problem not affecting its nice look. With the prices down a bit, this is a good chance to add this type to your collection. SOLD

This large brown seal , blue serial# Hamilton note shows only 55 in the Track&Price census. A tougher type that we seldom have to offer, we are pleased that this one came our way. The paper has good crispness and body and is quite clean, but the margins have been trimmed all around. They are very close and a bit uneven but do not touch the design. Even with this problem, it is a better note that should please many collectors. Two pinholes show along the center fold. SOLD

This Hamilton $20 note features the rarer small red seal and blue serial numbers. While the paper has the feel of a Fine note, light but even soiling and a stain on the back keep it short of that grade level. The color is quite good on this well margined, decent looking note. Track&Price shows only 85 notes for this Fr# compared to 733 for Fr#147, the note usually collected for this type.

A well but evenly circulated note, it retains good color and has no obvious defects. Some margin roughness and a tear or two are consistent with the wear and grade. Just right for a beginning or budget minded collector. SOLD

We are very pleased to have this interesting high denomination legal tender note to offer, one that elevates a collection to another level. Most collectors have few opportunities to add a nice $50 to their collection, and this is one that does show up from time to time. It is well but evenly circulated with a bit of extra wear showing in the portrait. The paper quality is good, as is the color with the red seal and blue serial#s showing very well. A couple of very minor edge tears are consistent with the grade. This note (A970045) is new to the Track&Price census of about 200 notes.
