Realized $3,840. (Image courtesy Stack’s Bowers.) This group was curated by the beloved Dottie Freeman, who the currency collecting family lost last spring. Santa Claus notes are always sought-after, and the supply is generally short of the demand. Winning bidder’s eyes will be twinkling through the upcoming holiday season because of these nostalgic notes: Lot# 10020 was an 1854 $50 Proof from Bucksport, Maine. This PMG Choice Uncirculated 63, has a Type-III Santa Claus vignette seen at center. The note shows three dogs at bottom left and a Native American with bow and arrows at right. Estimated at $3,000-$5,000, the note sold for $3,600. Lot# 10024 was an 1857-1860s $2 from White Mountain Bank in Lancaster, N.H. This PMG Very Good 10 note includes Santa Claus in his sleigh at top.

Granted, Santa Claus figures in older vignettes are unlike the modern advertising image we have of a laughing, chubby, milk-drinking, cookie-eating friend. The 1800s bank note Santa has a little bit of an edgy look.

www.numismaticnews.com / December 24, 2019 21 U.S. Currency with William Brandimore

By Tracy Schmidt For this column, I have invited expert market analyst of United States paper money William Brandimore to share some of his thoughts on collecting bank notes.

Q. What inspired you to collect bank notes from the United States? A. In 1953, I received a 1909 Barber quarter in change. The coin was older than my 34-year-old dad. In the early 1970s, I discovered an interest in Large Size notes. I remember buying an XF Buffalo for $150 from a downtown Detroit dealer and an Uncirculated Battleship from my favorite dealer, Ed Marusak.

William Brandimore has fond memories of an XF buffalo he purchased in the early 1970s. This 1901 $10 Legal Tender Note in PMG Choice AU-58 buffalo was up on the block at Stack’s Bowers in the October 2019 Collector’s Choice Online Auction. The note realized an in-estimate price of $2,520. Image courtesy of Stack’s Bowers.

This 1909-O Barber quarter is similar to the ononee that William Brandimore recieved in his pocket change. However, this particular New Orleans On Feb.Feb 13,13 2019,2019 thisthis MassachusettsMassachusetts August 18, 18 1775, 1775 5 shillings Sword in mintmark “O” is worth $4,800 in MS-65. Hand note gaveled at $861, well above its $200-$300 estimate. Image courtesy of Skinner, Inc. (www.skinnerinc.com)

Q. What is the most interesting bank note you have encountered? A. My most interesting note is a Sword in Hand Colonial note. Paul Revere engraved the plates and printed it in his shop shortly after the battle at Lexington-Concord. Q. How long have you been a bank note collector? A. Altogether, I’ve been collecting paper since 1971 or so. Q. What bank note do you wish you had in your collection? Why are you unable to obtain it thus far? A very hard-to-find 1928B Minneapolis star note sold in 2005 at a Heritage Signature A. I have been looking for a $5 1928B Sale auction for $4,370. William Brandimore has been seeking one for 20 years. Minneapolis Star note for about 20 years.

The back Ashland National Bank, Ashland, Wisconsin. The back features an eagle on has a large charter number at center. Values for this bank note range from shield flanked by male figures and flags. Values range from $1,000 in VG $3,500 in VG to $22,000 in Gem CU. to $9,000 in Gem CU.

Q. What are some ways that people collect United States bank notes? A. People collect Type Notes. It is more interesting to show off different notes than to show a bunch of notes that are the same but for signature combina- tions. Collecting National Bank Notes from your home town or state is also popular.

Q. What do you most want people to understand and appreciate about United States bank notes? A. I would like to repeat age-old wis- dom. Buy the book ﬁ rst. Figure out what you really like and buy the best condition you can afford. Join a club and learn from other collectors.

Q. How do bank notes convey history? Do their historical representations impact their value? A. Perhaps the most historical notes are the Original and 1875 series of National Banks. The backs have amazing vignettes: The Landing of the Pilgrims, Columbus discovering the Americas, De Soto Dis- covering the Mississippi, Sir Walter Ra- leigh presenting Corn and Tobacco to the Court of St. James. We also show off famous and not so famous Americans on our notes, such as Washington and Lincoln, or John Sheridan and William Windom.

Q. Are there signature combina- tions that are more sought after than The Star note (above) has the same serial number format of a regular note, letter-eight digits others? – but instead of beginning or ending with a letter again it has an empty star. The star indicates A. There are signatures of the govern- it is a replacement note so there are fewer of them printed, making them have a premium. ment persons responsible for the issue of www.numismaticnews.com / December 24, 2019 23 currency. Generally, those who serve a short period are more valuable. You can get an idea by looking at prices for similar notes with different signatures that can be found in the 35th edition of the Standard Catalog of® United States Paper Money.

Q. What are Small Size star notes and are they generally more valuable? A. Small Size Star notes are replacement notes from 1928 to date. Generally, one percent to three percent of notes printed are stars so they are much scarcer. They are used to replace damaged notes.

Discovery of the Mississippi

Bank note vignettes are literally great illustra- tions of history. Those on several early bank notes were representations of paintings from the U.S. Capitol building. William H. Powell painted the “Discovery of the Mississippi” that appears on the back of the $10 National Bank Note, FR 409. The artwork is a depiction of Hernando de Soto upon horseback encounter- ing Native Americans and the Mississippi River in 1541.
