At the time we sold the first part that included only high grade raw notes like the 1934 $500/$1000 bills, 1923 Portholes, Chiefs, Tombstone notes and a lot of other “scarcer” currency.  Since the original sales on TV from (1997 – 2001) more inventory has come to the market including a lot of certified PMG and PCGS slabbed notes.  It seems that Chattanooga Coin wasn’t the only dealers who originally trusted the currency slabbers to grade and certify quality and rare notes.  Over the last (8 – 10) years we have slowly dug out some of the good stuff for our in-house clients who were specializing in collecting topical categories like the Nationals, Large Type Notes and broken Bank Notes from 1830 – 1875.  In fact the deal was so large that it was several years of negotiating and dealing with the owners until the collection was finally and completely in our hands.  As a collector myself of this type of quality material I actually put it aside and labeled each lot of the interesting and premium stuff for the company archives.  It has been like “money in the bank” holding this stuff and the demand for quality seems to never go away.  The Naples hoard was a special collection.  The owners who took the time and patience of putting it up for a rainy day were very cognizant of what most collectors were collecting and wanted.  They concentrated on virtually everything in U. S. notes but especially large type and small size U. S. that today remains out of circulation.  We did have some $5000 and $10,000 notes but sold those out (except for a few) years ago.  The deal also included bulk lots of nice crisp stuff from 1928, 1934 and packs of $2 bills from1953/1963 and 1976.  For the fun of it, we are going to include an actual 1997 sticker on each lot we sell:  It’s Original Naples Hoard and lot number.
