Spans Over 200 Years in an Unreserved Special Online Auction
A diverse offering of North Carolina currency, spanning over 200 years, is featured November29, 2020, in an unreserved special online auction by Heritage Auctions. The notes collected byMike Coltrane for several decades include many elite types and varieties from the Colonial,Obsolete, and National Banknote series and form a panoramic narrative of currencies fromMike's native state. Noteworthy is a complete 56-note typeset, offered individually, of the April2, 1776, Halifax colonial issue. This complete suite has been achieved by only a handful ofcollectors, and we believe this is the first modern offering of all 56 different notes in one auction.
Obsolete banknotes from virtually all issuing banks and local branches illustrate the complexitiesNorth Carolinians met with using paper currency during the antebellum period. NationalBanknotes range from very rare late Civil War-period First Charter notes to 1929 small sizeexamples, emitted across numerous towns. These include several rarities from the state, withmany new to the census and being auctioned for the first time. We hope you will take the time toperuse this important offering exemplifying North Carolina's rich financial history.
