Collectible Bonds 7,000+/- Available Now. First Come, First Served

We do not have any 1899 Series A’s. You will not find one. They are extremely rare. We do have the best inventory of Mexican Bonds on the open market. Here is the list. We do not do packages, platforms, trade programs, or useless paperwork. Outright sales only.

As you may already know, 89 of our 97 Mexican uncancelled bonds that we are selling were printed by American Bank Note Company, New York. These particular bonds are beautifully engraved and are virtually impossible to properly forge. The paper, color/ink, and impressive engraving would be extremely costly to imitate. The so called forgeries that one hears about are nothing more than color copies or computer generated laser printer copies. In truth, they do not come close to the true American Bank Note quality engraved bonds. I hope that these comments give you some comfort in buying such bonds.

Mexican and State of Mississippi Bonds ………..

 

 

We currently have 4 examples of the Rare £2,000 1913/1914 Temporary Republic of Mexico Gold Treasury bonds. We also have 1 of each of the £1,000, £5,000, and the very high denomination £20,000. These are very rare and are recently given the nickname Mini White Dove, White Dove, or in the case of the £20,000, Double White Dove. . One of the bonds originated from the holdings of the “Council of the Corporation of Foreign Bondholders. This brief story gives you a bit of history of how some of these bonds can survive. Of course, there are hundreds of scenarios of how bonds have been saved and found.

 

 

The Republic of Mexico Gold Temporary Treasury bonds were issued in 1914. Later that year Mexican debt went into default and the bond price would have fallen sharply much to the chagrin of European bondholders. Of course, many other types of Mexican bonds did poorly. In 1922 The Council of the Corporation of Foreign Bondholders (formed to protect the interests of UK bondholders in the event of foreign defaults) invited Mexican Treasury bondholders to deposit their bonds with the Council to enable them to effectively represent their interests. Many other types of foreign bonds were also welcome including the State of Mississippi bonds of 1831, 1833, and especially 1838. A small fee was charged for this service. Over the next 58 years the Council tried to negotiate on the bondholders behalf but to no avail. In 1980 the Council no longer felt justified in retaining these bonds and announced a general redistribution. There was little response to this proposal. During the next few years it became evident that the Council’s function had ceased to be meaningful as most of the old debt in which it was involved had been repaid, resolved or otherwise concluded. An impasse had been reached with the Mexican bonds and with the State of Mississippi. It was therefore decided to place the Corporation of Foreign Bondholders into liquidation and to dispose of the remaining bonds at Auction. This Auction took place on 21st June 1990 at Phillips Auctions in London, England. The Mexican bonds were represented in one large lot #238. One of the best and rarest in the group was one of our £2,000 (White Dove) Republic of Mexico Gold Temporary Treasury bonds.

 

 

With regards to the engraved issues of 1885, 1899, 1904, and the Tesoro or engraved 1913, these are all engraved printed by American Bank Note Company, New York. We’ve never heard of a “very fine forgery” as the technology required to print a true engraved bond of this quality would be extremely expensive and fortunately none have surfaced.

 

The following are carefully thought out points related to authenticity of the so called “White Dove” types of Temporary bonds of 1913/14 …..

 

 

The bonds were originally issued in 1914 in London and later that year Mexican debt went into default and so presumably the need to print engraved bonds into which these temporary bonds could be exchanged disappeared. The bond prices fell sharply and stayed at a low level. I can see no reason for there to be any forgeries to be instigated when the genuine bond had such a low market value.

 

 

This particular bond would have been held securely in the vaults of the Council’s bank for the next 68 years. Others that are found virtually always originate from very old collections.

 

Until now, this particular bond was held in the collection of the buyer of Lot #238 in the 1990 Phillips Auction Sale held in London.

 

Other points regarding authenticity include …..

 

The paper should be somewhat thick and lithography printed, not engraved. There are modern forgeries on very thin, very white modern looking paper. Of course, many so called forgeries are simply computer generated and laser printed or are simple copies done on a color copier. The originals such as the 7 examples that we have in stock are on 1914 vintage laid paper showing “horizontal line watermarks”, evenly spaced throughout the entire sheet of paper every 1 1/8 inches apart. Occasionally, the paper makers watermark in the form of an ornate crest is also present. This elaborate watermark is present on 2 of our 7 bonds. The horizontal line watermark are present on all 7 bonds.

 

The bond #’s are red and very distinctive in the ends of digits such as 2’s, 3’s, and 5’s.

The signature is in a light brown ink.

 

 

If you come to visit with us to view our bonds in person, I think you will find them more than satisfactory. We simply refuse to supply all kinds of advance #’s and paperwork to people who simply want paperwork free and have no intention to buy anything. On the other hand, If you require an authenticator, there is a very reputable company 20 minutes drive from our office. They are very experienced and most reputable. The company is PASS-CO in Bedford, NH.

Thank you for your interest.

OFFERING DISCLOSURE

 

IMPORTANT:  PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PURCHASE ANY COLLECTIBLE BONDS FROM US

 

As you are aware, I am not an investment advisor and do not render investment advice, nor do I or my company sell securities of any kind. Further, we are not a registered securities dealer and do not make any representations regarding the investment potential of certain defaulted or defunct bonds of US and Foreign origin.

 

 

The United States District Courts have found that the bonds are not redeemable in or backed by gold; United States District Courts have held that the bonds have no value as investments, but are solely collectible memorabilia; and/or the issuers of the bonds have no outstanding obligation to pay the principal or any interest on the bonds.

 

 

These bonds that we sell are sold strictly on their collectible merits and in our opinion, should only be purchased by persons who are interested in collecting for their historical interest or rarity. We believe that buying them for speculative purposes involves a high degree of risk.

 

 

Due to the volatile nature of the marketplace, we will be pleased to provide quotes on items of interest on a daily basis. Prices may be subject to change.
