R. M. Smythe & Company to Offer Part 13 of the Schingoethe Obsolete Currency Collection, December 12-13, 2007
Manhattan, New York - December 4, 2007 – R. M. Smythe & Company (http://www.Smytheonline.com) to offer Part 13 of the Schingoethe obsolete currency collection December 12-13, 2007. The sale will contain 1162 lots of obsolete notes to be auctioned over 2 days.
When it came to coins and paper money Herb Schingoethe collected almost everything, but it was obsolete currency that his wife Martha liked to collect most of all. She fell in love with the incredible diversity of issuers, and with the artistic quality of the vignettes on the notes. She enjoyed meeting and dealing with the people who bought and and sold obsolete currency. She had the skills and the energy required to organize and maintain everything they acquired. Her husband Herb had the passion to collect on a grand scale. Together they created what is now known as the Schingoethe collection.
From December 12-13, 2007 R. M. Smythe & Co. will be offering part 13 of this groundbreaking collection, with exceptional rarities and choice notes from many diverse series’. This sale features a section of Illinois notes from Herb’s core Illinois collection that were treasured by Herb and Martha. This sale also contains notes from the North, South and Midwest, including many pieces from Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin. Many well vignetted and choice proof notes that Herb and Martha prized are also featured.
Some of the more interesting notes being offered at this sale include:
Lot # 426 MA. Lynn, Nantucket, Newburyport, Pittsfield, Plymouth, Roxbury, Salem, S. Boston, S. Reading, Stockbridge, Uxbridge, Ware, Westfield, Worcester. Assortment of notes, most G-Fine. At least one altered, and many with color and nice vignettes. Some missing corners, tears, repairs, red, green overprints, Denominations: $1 - $5 & a $10. [19] Estimate $1000 - $1500
Lot # 436 MI. Brest. Monroe & Ypsilanti Railroad Co. $1. Nov. 1, 1838. (L-BRE-2-1 (Lee Plate Note); Haxby MI-90 G2; Bowen 1). Black. Train at wharf, center; statue of Washington at left, 1 below; Justice seated at right. The only denomination of this series not plated in either Haxby or Bowen, this $1 rarity will not go unnoticed by Michigan specialists. This example is from the collection of Dr. Wallace Lee, who was known for assembling rarity and quality. The fact that this note grades on the low end is a testament to its rarity. Follow the example of Dr. Lee and don't let grade stand in the way of acquiring what is perhaps the only note available. Fair, numerous taped splits. Estimate $1000 - $1200
Lot # 491 MI. Saranac. A Pair of G. A. Cotton Scrip. 1) 10¢. Oct. 27, 1862. (L-SAR-1-1 Lee Plate Note; Bowen 1). Green. Fine, with some age toning, trimmed close at sides. 2) 25¢. Oct. 27, 1862. (L-SAR-1-2 (Lee Plate Note); Bowen 2). Green. Blue on white. Typeset; both of similar design, with location and date at the center, flanked by denomination in bold font. An extraordinary pair of Michigan scrip, these two notes represent all the listed numbers in Bowen. Both are properly issued, signed by Gilbert A. Cotton, owner of a general store in Saranac in Ionia County. Cotton was likely also the postmaster of this location as both pieces bear a Post Office CDS (Circular Date Stamp) on the verso, with the same date as printed on the face of the notes. From the Dr. Lee Collection, these pieces virtually scream of their utter rarity. Estimate $1,000-1,500
Lot # 502 MN. Shakopee. Farmers Bank. $1. Sept. 1, 1864. (MN-175 G2; Rockholt 1). Unissued remainder.

Machine No.2333/A. This is one serial number off the Rockholt Plate Note. There were a few sheets at one time, but the census reflects just over twenty notes on the bank. Great style with the title at the left end. ABN. Extremely Fine, spurious signatures in black pen. Estimate $1000 - $2000
