Lot Photo Description Realized
Lot 1659
1935-A, $1 World War II Emergency Notes. Hawaii. Uncut Sheet of Twelve. . Fr-2300. . KL-1609. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. One of only 25 uncut sheets printed and released, a lovely Gem sheet with very little handling and absolutely pristine paper surfaces. There is little handling apparent even on the fragile edges, while the paper is bright and as fresh as the day it was printed. No doubt many of these sheets have been cut since they were printed more than six decades ago, so this represents a rare opportunity to own a classic sheet rarity.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
From the 9/09 Hawaii Collection; ex Jim Simek.

1935-A, $1 World War II Emergency Note. Hawaii. Courtesy Autograph Note from the Second Sheet Printed. . Fr-2300. . KL-1609. PCGS Fine 15. Bearing serial number C00000013C, this remarkable note is first note from the second sheet of the C-C block, the only print run from which low serial nubmered notes were printed. It bears the courtesy autograph of Henry Morgenthau, Jr. the Secretary of the Treasury during the FDR administration. It is the lowest documented serial number known on a Hawaii note, and furthermore is unique as the only courtesy autograph on a WWII emergency issue note that we have ever seen. Although this note was obviously carried as a wallet piece by someone as a momento, it is a wonder note that is likely to be a "trophy" item in the next proud owner's collection.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 10,000.

1935-A, $1 World War II Emergency Note. Hawaii Star Note. . Fr-2300*. . KL-1609*. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. This Hawaii star note is the only 65PPQ graded thus far by PCGS Currency, and ranks as the fourth finest graded with the finest a spectacular 68PPQ. This lovely Gem is remarkable in every respect, with solid margins for the grade, bold embossing, and strictly original paper surfaces. Gem Hawaii star notes are downright rare, and expect many months or even years for another opportunity to obtain one of this quality.

1935-A, $1 World War II Emergency Note. Hawaii. . Fr-2300. . KL-1609. PCGS Gem New 66PPQ. The first of a consecutive pair, a remarkable Gem example of the very scarce Z-B block Hawaii $1 Silver Certificate. This is one of the finest examples from this block that this cataloger has ever seen, and although PCGS Currency does not yet publish block information in their population reports we suspect that it is one of the best yet graded. When Set Registry competition soon begins for blocks, expect prices for these rarer and difficult to locate rarities to come under much upwards pressure.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000.

With low serial numbers in high demand, expect this beauty to easily reach or exceed our pre-sale estimate.

1935-A, $1 World War II Emergency Note. Hawaii Star Note. Short Snorter. . Fr-2300*. . KL-1609*. While "short snorters" are not at all unusual on Hawaii notes, very few have survived on star notes. PCGS Currency graded this example Fine 12 and noted the "short snorter" designation on the holder.

According to www.shortsnorter.org's website, "A short snorter is a banknote upon which signatures were exchanged between those traveling together or meeting up at different events. The tradition was started by bush pilots in Alaska in the 1920's and subsequently spread through the growth of commercial and military aviation. If you signed a short snorter and that person could not produce it upon request, they owed you a dollar or a drink (a "short snort", aviation and alcohol do not mix!)."
