Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection Part VIII will be offered November 1 and 2 at Heritage Auction's world headquarters in Dallas in conjunction with the Newman Part IX coin sale(November 1 and 3). Exceptional unreserved Colonial notes are featured, and a few of the many highlights are detailed below.

Lot 28038: Maryland July 14, 1756 20 Shillings

The exceedingly rare July 14, 1756 Maryland 20 shillings note is so seldom encountered, the only auction record we have located is from the Roper sale in 1984. Boyd did not own an example from theseries, and very few are held in private collections. This example has a nature-print back and was boldly printed by Jonas Green. Another opportunity to own one of these underrated rarities might notarise for another three decades.

Lot 28111: Pennsylvania August 1, 1744 1 Shilling

Notes printed by Benjamin Franklin are always in demand. This finest known, and likely unique, August 1, 1744, Pennsylvania shilling has the added benefit of a stellar EF 45PPQ grade. Thisbeautifully detailed example is the Newman plate note. Although Boyd had two notes from the issue, they could not approach the virtually pristine condition seen here.

Lot 28132: Rhode Island February 14, 1743 2 Shillings 6 Pence

Another Newman plate note in stellar condition is the Rhode Island February 14, 1743 "Tall" Bill of Credit. Only Roper had an example, which had splits and faults, and that was sold in 1984; theBoyd collection examples were all redated plate notes. Beautifully engraved and boldly printed, this is a priceless treasure.

Lot 28138: South Carolina August 27, 1715 Act 4 Pounds

The third Newman plate note, and the finale in these highlights, is the unique and impressive South Carolina August 27, 1715 Act 4 pounds note for "Raising forces" to quell the Native Americanuprising. This is the earliest confirmed Southern Colonial bill and a tangible artifact of the Yamassee War, a key event in South Carolina's history with an impact comparable to that of King Philip'sWar in New England. Although with some faults, this is on a par with the most significant of all Colonial issues and will be a centerpiece of the next cabinet it enters.
