Lot #138 - 1902 $10 Blue Seal - Unionville, MO Charter #13268 - PMG VF-25/corner missing/previously mounted
US Currency-National Bank Notes
Ex: Eric P. Newman collection. Last seen in a PCGS holder with a grade of "VF20 apparent", additional notations on the PMG insert agree as well: "corner missing, previously mounted". That does not alter the rarity of this 1902 plain-back for which only four examples are reported. Unionville, a far suburb of St. Louis, was the last Missouri bank to issue large National notes, partially explaining the rarity and appeal of this very low serial number (34) ten. During the upgrade from PCGS to PMG, the important Newman pedigree was lost, and the cataloger hopes the next owner will be astute enough to have PMG restore it.

Lot #785 - 1907 PCGS PR-67 CAC, Ex-Pittman
Hammer: $2,150
Dimes-Barber
Ex-Pittman (not listed on slab insert). 15 graded PR-67, 4 higher at PCGS Sadly, this coin has somehow lost its famous pedigree along its journey into the PCGS slab, as somebody foolishly (perhaps) removed it from the original NGC holder (SN: 638831-001) where it had the same grade (and also a green CAC sticker). Oh the lengths some will travel to eke a few extra dollars out of a plastic holder... but we digress. The Pittman dime is nothing short of incredible as it displays lovely, tasteful obverse peripheral toning and enormously satisfying indigo-violet hue across the entire reverse. As befits the grade, the surface shows simply zero distractions, except perhaps a singular carbon speckle at the front of Liberty's neck, which is helpful in identifying it for future generations. A Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award for obvious reasons, and we can only hope that the future owner will take the steps necessary to restore the esteemed pedigree to whatever slab the coin ends up in.
