CHR N-2, Burgett-6, Durand IT-95. PCGS Very Fine 25.  A beautiful $1 note from this interesting May 2, 1862 Act series that evolved from the Cherokee treaty with Brigadier Confederate General Albert Pike, against the advice of Paramount Chief John Ross. A major portion of this treaty was the settlement of  the 1846 claims due from Washington in the form of specie ($77,644.36, per Douglas B. Ball's research) and a trove of $172,300 in Confederate treasury notes. Those higher denomination notes, mostly $20, $50, and $100 notes, would help local change needs. The series appears to be locally printed in denominations from 50 cents to $5. The notes were signed by two Ross family members: Lewis Ross, brother of Chief John Ross and uncle of Clerk Joshua Ross, who was a wealthy slaveholder. The notes did not circulate long and most were seized and destroyed in July 1862. Chief John Ross was sent to Baltimore by Union officials. He was replaced by his constant nemesis within the Nation, Stand Watie, as Chief, who was also made a Brigadier General in the Confederate Army. This is a uniface note printed on very thin, translucent rag paper. Without imprint, but now attributed to John Candy in the Shull-Criswell reference. Intricate, ornamental pattern at top and bottom frame lines. End panels at left and right, composed of linked oval ornaments, enclose the denomination ONE DOLLAR in English at the left and translated into the Sequoyah (named for the Cherokee innovator) alphabet at the right. The interesting use of both language styles helped prevent raising the notes' denominations. The bolded numeric denomination is at upper left. The obligation is across, bolded ONE DOLLAR, and its translation in dialect. The additional obligation at the top, \"Issued by authority of Law in lieu of Notes of the Confederate States,\" is continued along the bottom margin, \"which are retained in the Treasury for the redemption hereof.\" Signed by Joshua Ross as clerk and Lewis Ross as treasurer. The Shull-Criswell Rarity 10 (5-15 known) is accurate. This is a superior note and the finest we have seen. The foxed Ford XX note realized $8,625 in October 2007. The Burgett-Schingoethe note sold in July 2006 by Smythe had a rounded top left edge and realized a strong $10,350 (we believe this is still a record price for the issuer). Broad, exceptional margins and near perfect paper quality. An extraordinary note. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society\n\nRealized $12925.00.
