Lot Title:	Three Obsolete Banknotes
Lot Number:	1
Description:	Berry Tree Collection. First is Farmers Bank of (Richmond) Virginia, payable at Alexandria Branch, graded PCGS F-12, and with provenance to the John J Ford collection. Next is Carson City (NV) Savings Bank $75 Jan. 31, 1883, and rubber stamped "Paid Feb 28 1883." This outstanding note features a vignette of an 1870 Liberty gold coin on the front, which ambiguously could represent a half-eagle or eagle, both of which are very rare and expensive coins. Finally, a very rare Jefferson City, MO $3 printed on cream-tinted paper is cited by PCGS as grading "VF-35 apparent" due to "minor edge tear at lower right". Intriguing currency-collector material in this three note lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
