Fayetteville, NC - Bank of Clarendon at Fayetteville $6 Nov. 1, 1855 NC-15 G4a. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. All odd denomination notes have held the interest of Obsolete collectors for a long time. Roger H. Durand's first book of his thirteen topical subject titles, Interesting Notes About Denominations (1988, Author), provides collectors with a primer on this fascinating genre. The North Carolina and rarer Virginia notes using $6, $7, $8, and $9 plate configurations are excellent to collect. This is a handsome example from the Danforth, Wright & Co. printed series. A lively river rafting scene is at top center, Ceres crouches in front of a Native American princess at lower right, and the other corners have "6" counters. A red SIX protector is at the bottom. Noted with "Minor Ink Erosion; Small Holes." A bit soiled, but well margined on all sides and solid paper body. Above average for the series and type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20464, realized $660. |
