Description
Extremely Rare 1814 Large Format $20 War of 1812 Note
Ex Ford-Boyd Collections
Early Treasury Notes. TN-9a. ND (18xx). Act of December 26, 1814. $20. Two Signature Remainder. PCGS Currency Choice About New 55 Apparent. Small Edge Repairs at Top.
Plate E. Imprint of Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. Large format style. Upper left, majestic spread wing eagle with sun rays above. Ornate end panels, each side, with TWENTY in vertical cartouche. Obligation across. Two signatures at right, but not countersigned at the left by Commissioner of United States Loans. 5.4% Interest bearing note for financing the War of 1812. Hessler X80A. Krause-Lemke P7a. Whitman 8675. An extremely rare and historically significant piece that as a class makes few appearances at auction. This particular example which we last sold in March 2012 stands among a small handful of Treasury Notes known from the formative years of the United States. Lightly handled since the time it was first printed, this note was never issued and bears the signatures of Samuel Clarke and Edward Fox while the countersignature for the Commissioner of Loans remains unsigned. Befitting of its status among the earliest issues of the Federal government, this note is justifiably listed at or near the front in of Friedberg's Paper Money of the United States regardless of edition and in all United States paper money references including the groundbreaking 'Encyclopedia' by Q. David Bowers.
Estimate: $8000.00- $12000.00
