PAGE 4 Paper &elle,/ VOL. 2, NO. 2 Emergency Currency of the Civil War Period by M. M. Burgett While most coin and currency collectors are familiar with the encased postage stamps and fractional currency which were used to replace the vanished small coins of the early 1860's, and to a lesser degree with the privately produced envelopes used to protect the U. S. postage stamps utilized as currency, there seems to be little awareness of, and no interest in the cardboard currency tickets provided by cer- tain merchants, which are believed to have been used to fill the need for small change in the very early days of the war. Occasionally mention of these tickets can be found in early auction catalogues, but they seem never to have been plentiful. The writer has found only seven varieties of these tickets in thirty years of collection, so this would seem to indicate a definite rarity. Probably few were issued and, as a matter of course, only a fraction could have sur- vived. Those tickets seen by the writer have been, with one exception, oblong in shape and printed on one side only. A similar series, issued by army sutlers, has been listed and described by James J. Curto, but apparently no listing has ever been made of the pieces issued by civilian storekeepers. The following descriptive list covers all such items owned by the writer; naturally there is no way of knowing how many others are tucked away in collections, dealers' stocks, or in the traditional "attics" in which fabulous treasures are popularly supposed to be secreted: 1. Briggs House—"Good for ten cents, when presented in sums of not less than one dollar." Yellow cardboard, oblong, 1 7/8"x 1 1/8". 2. G. 0. Chipman—"Good for two cents. I will redeem in P. 0. currency when presented." Green, round, scalloped, 1 1/8". 3. Grosvenor and Horn, No. 387 Bowery—"Good for one cent." Yellow, oblong, 1 15/16"x 1 1/16". 4. Reimund Kroenig, grocery and provision store, corner of Sigel and Sedgwick Sts.—"Good for one cent in trade, or redeemable in sums of five cents and upwards." Green, oblong, 1 3/4"x 1 1/4". 5. Latz and Holzmann—"Good for one cent." Yellow, oblong, 1 3/4"x 1 1/4". 6. Mrs. Mebbetts' News Depot, 120 First Ave. near 7th St.—"Good for one cent." Yellow, oblong, 1 15/16"x 1 1/16". 7. Decatur Market—"Good for one cent at G. W. Odells, cor. 7th St. and 1st Ave." Cream, oblong, 1 15/16"xl 1/16". Tickets numbered 1, 2, 4, and 5 show signs of considerable circulation, while the remainder arc fresh and new. The Chipman piece, No. 2, is particularly interesting as it apparently was issued at the same time the first issue of official shin-plasters (postage currency) made its appear- ance. Although no place of issue is designated on any of these pieces, it is likely that they originated in the larger cities, as did the printed envelopes which were designed to contain postage stamps passed from hand to hand as a circulating medium. Pursuing these odd bits of cardboard will probably appeal to only a few individuals, as the great majority of Ameri- can collectors care only for rolls of modern coins and so- called "mint errors" of which millions are available, but to anyone who may be attracted by them, the writer wishes to say "good hunting." Announcement of Writing Awards by G. Wait With the objective of enlarging and improving the content of Paper Money and encouraging membership participation in it, B. M. Douglas of our Board of Governors is generous- ly offering two awards. These will consist of a $10 gold piece to be given to the writer of the best article and a $2 1/2 gold piece for the second best article published in our magazine prior to the Summer 1964 issue. Winners must be members of the Society. While more than one entry may be submitted, no one may win more than one award. The winning articles will be chosen by a committee of officers or Governors of the Society appointed by the President. Officers of the Society, including Governors, are ineligible for awards. Our membership of approximately 500 includes a great many authorities in the field of paper money. Numbered among them are some well-known writers on numismatics. It is hoped they will submit articles—but others who have not tried their hand at writing also might find it a source of pleasure and satisfaction. If you have a specialty and have studied your field you are definitely qualified to write an authoritative article. Stories of paper money col- lecting experience, if unusual and of general interest, should also be in order. Probably due to the appeal of a wider circulation, some of our members in the past year have submitted articles for publication in the numismatic papers rather than in our own magazine. It should be pointed out that this practice involves some other considerations—(1) it is probable that a large percentage of subscribers do not read articles on paper money, (2) the paper is not of a quality which can do justice to the article, and especially illustrations, (3) a glossy finish magazine is more likely to be preserved. Think of the space required to store even one year's issue of a large weekly or semi-monthly paper! We are still a comparatively small organization. We want to continue to grow. Paper money collecting is on the upswing and if we take an enthusiastic interest in our Society it will keep pace with the growth of the hobby. Help us to expand our magazine, our chief asset in attract- ing new members. It is hoped that the Douglas awards will provide the added incentive to give us a larger, attractive, informative maga- - of which we will all be proud. VOL. 2, NO. 2 Paper iltaken PAGE 5 Changes of Address When paying their 1963 dues, several members disclosed that they did not receive one or more of the magazines because they had moved. Present Postal Regulations specify that only first-class mail may be forwarded unless special arrangements are made with the local postmaster. If you have a change of address, it is important to do two things: (a) Immediately notify the Secretary of your change of address (b) Arrange with your local postmaster to forward all magazines as well as first-class mail. This will involve payment of additional postage. Fractional Paper Money Private Issues of the Civil War Period by Ernest S. Craighead Hostilities between the Northern and Southern states began in April, 1861. The War had continued but a few months until gold (silver and copper coins began to disappear from circulation. This was caused by a num- ber of factors, principally the depreciation of paper money. A premium on coins was created by their bullion content, resulting in their export to foreign countries, principally Canada, for the sake of an exchange profit. Much hoarding also resulted from the old axiom that "bad money drives out good money." An illustration of the condition of affairs may be cited in the case of a house in New York which had so many copper cents stored in one of its rooms that the floor collapsed. It has been estimated that at least twenty-five million dollars of metallic coins disappeared from circulation and the country found itself, in the midst of a war boom, virtually without a low denominational medium of ex- 2hange. The inconvenience caused by this sudden disap- pearance can hardly be imagined at the present time. An early development was the refusal of retail establishments to give change. This condition of public inconvenience and business loss could not continue. The people had to find substitutes for coins and find them they did, in every imaginable device. (In this article I am quoting liberally from two books on the subject and pause to give due credit to "Fractional Money" by Neil Carothers, published in New York in 1930, which devotes Chapter XII to the Private Issues of Fractional Paper Money of the Civil War Period, and to "United States Paper Money" by George H. Blake, pub- lished in New York in 1908.) Businessmen issued promissory notes on small sizes of paper for amounts varying from 1 cent up. Metal tokens in brass, copper and various alloys were also issued by mer- chants and manufacturers in the form of advertisements, or bearing patriotic and other mottoes, and these readily passed for cents. Street car tickets, milk tickets, and any- thing having an apparent value, were pressed into service for making change. In most of the states fractional notes were illegal. In some cases the laws were ambiguous, not specifying the minimum denominations permissible. There was no method of controlling the circulation in one state of notes issued in another state. Pennsylvania had repealed her small note law in April, 1861, and fractional notes were widely issued in that state. Many were issued in New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts—in fact throughout the more thickly populated Northern states with two notable exceptions, Michigan and Rhode Island—but there is evidence that the State of Rhode Island at one time considered a fractional issue. Most issues were payable in goods or larger units of money "at my store," or like a check, payable at a bank. There were very few issues by the banks themselves, signed by the cashier or president, making them really fractional "bank notes." In some localities $1 and $2 bank notes were cut into fractional parts. Following the precent of earlier periods of financial crisis, many municipalities undertook to issue fractional notes. The best-known issues are those of Newark, Jersey City, Albany, Troy and Wilmington. Apparently, the very largest cities, such as New York and Philadelphia, did not issue notes at this time. The smaller cities and towns were not deterred by fear of legal complications and willingly met the emergency with notes, mostly in denominations varying from five to fifty cents. In some states, Pennsylvania especially, other govern- mental units such as counties and tax districts undertook to supply fractional currency. It would appear from an inspection of notes now held in collections that some of these local governments, as well as many private enter- prises, entered into an arrangement with local banks to deceive the public. Notes were printed in such a form that they gave every appearance of being fractional bank notes, but the wording was such that they were legally checks on the banks. Such notes were technically exempt from attack either as bank notes or as local government notes, although clearly intended to serve as money. Transportation companies, hotels, saloons and retail stores that could not carry on business without change proceeded to manufacture their own currency. A vast quantity of notes, tickets and due bills poured into circula- CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE Paper 1)tcheyPAGE 6 VOL. 2, NO. 2 PRIVATE ISSUES CON'D FROM PAGE 5 tion. They bore the promise of the issuer, explicit or implied, to redeem them in money or goods. Customers offering bank notes in payment at a store received in change a handful of the proprietor's own notes or due bills. They had to accept these paper promises or forego their purchases. Patrons of saloons and barbershops had to ac- cept such items as change and pass them on as best they could. Notes of hotels were especially common. The derisive term "shinplaster," whose origin dates back at least to the War of 1812, was applied to the whole mass (or mess) of city, bank and private issues. The legal status of these shinplaster notes was dubious and confused. In many states they were clearly illegal. In some states such as Pennsylvania, the statute was not clear. Private notes were prohibited in New York and when the shinplasters first appeared the newspapers emphatically pointed out this fact. The Herald quoted the state law in full and three days later commented as follows: "At least one hundred retailers in various lines of business in this city have issued shinplasters, very many of which are in direct contravention of the law." The United States postage currency law of July 17, 1862 contained a provision making it criminal for any person, company or banking association to issue notes of a denomination less than one dollar. This sweeping prohi- bition, which outlawed all fractional notes except those issued by cities, had little effect. Business could not go on without small change and the law was ignored. The emergency currencies created or sanctioned by the Federal Government in the summer of 1862 were quite inadequate to meet the needs for small change, and for the remainder of 1862 and for the first months of 1863 the country depended chiefly on a conglomerate mass of torn notes, fractional bank notes, municipal notes and shin- plasters of private issuers. Any attempt to estimate the volume of shinplaster issues would be speculative. If it is considered that the vanished silver amounted to more than $25,000,000 and that the shinplasters probably represented much more than half of all the emergency currencies, it seems fair to issume that the issues reached a sum greater than $15,- 000,000. It is doubtful whether half of this total returned to the original issuers for redemption. The amount lost, destroyed in use, or held as souvenirs must have exceeded $5,000,000. This figure represents only a small part of the social and financial losses entailed by the complete collapse of the small denominational medium of exchange in 1862. The losses from destruction of notes and irredeemable issues were minor matters when contrasted with the de- moralization of retail trade and the general annoyance and disturbance the country had to endure. During the acute shortage of change in 1862 the Postage Stamp, very naturally, quickly claimed recognition as a circulating medium, but the adhesive back was a serious impediment. The New York Central Railroad utilized stamps by enclosing various amounts in small envelopes, which were issued as change. Stamps were also mounted in small brass circles with mica over the face and advertisements stamped on the back. Such issues of "Enclosed Postage" will be found listed and illustrated in Friedberg's "Paper Money of the United States." To General F. E. Spinner, the Treasurer of the United States, is due the credit for first pasting upon slips of paper, in definite amounts, the United States Postage Stamps in the semblance of money. The attention of the Post Office Department having been called to this arrange- ment of stamps, they readily agreed to redeem them with new stamps when worn or mutilated. The convenience and definite value of the pasted stamps, as arranged by General Spinner, were so readily apparent that the matter was at once taken up by Congress, and a regular issue of postal currency was authorized under the July 1862 Act. This "Postal Currency" had the semblance of postage stamps printed on it, in the same plan as General Spin- ner's original arrangement. At the time of authorizing the Postal Currency. Congress also prohibited the issuing of fractional currency and tokens by individuals. The Postal Currency was soon succeeded under Act of March 3, 1863 by the "Fractional Currency" which remained in use after the financial crisis was over, for a total span of 14 years, after which it was redeemed. No similar event has occurred in the history of paper money to that which was marked by the beginning and end of Fractional Currency. This subject of Fractional Currency as issued by the Federal Government is a story in itself and merits a separate article. A handsome collection of Federal Postage and Fractional Currency can still be formed for not too great an outlay. It should be emphasized that for over eighty years preceding the Civil War, when there was a need for them, fractional notes were issued by banks, local governmental units, churches and private firms or individuals. They were not new or novel in 1862. The collecting of private fractional currency is not a common hobby. Rarely do collectors specialize in these small scrip notes. Generally they are associated with other obsolete notes and are occasionally advertised under the misleading heading of "Broken Bank Notes." Except in instances where large "remainder" lots have been found, they are rarer than their usual retail price indicates. The price is comparatively low because the demand is low, not because there is a large supply. These notes were accepted only in immediate areas in which issued, where the signer was known, hence the quantities were limited and many were redeemed. The collector can choose from notes issued by cities, counties, banks and every conceivable class of business concern. He will find quite a number of a few municipal issues, but of many private scrip notes he will never find a duplicate. There never could be a complete listing. Historically, these scrip notes are most important, and the many varieties and denominations are an interest- ing challenge. The Confederate side of the Civil War cannot be ignored in a discussion of this type. In addition to two issues of regular CSA fifty-cent notes, numerous fractional notes were issued by the Southern State governments, counties, municipalities and private firms. Like the U. S. Fractional Currency they deserve a story of their own. SEE ILLUSTRATIONS NEXT TWO PAGES ; ot.ttivil.)SZ UNILIS rgiAlorogi4; 010Pr 44ge / JP/ fe° e4R&!'

Killian The paper dollars that you spend so casually, or reluctantly, are fascinating and worthy of interest to the collector. Although I have collected these dollars for several years it is only recently that I have become in- terested in studying them and, I am sure, there is still a great deal I must learn. Since I know of no article providing much information relating to these notes, I felt that a compilation of what I have learned or guessed might be of interest to fellow collectors. I also hope that other collec- tors will be inspired to provide additional information and/or let me know where my guesses are inaccurate. Even the non coin collecting public is used to dates on coins and are aware that the date on a coin corresponds to the year the coin was minted. Therefore, if they examine a one dollar bill and see "series of 1957" on it they usually assume that the dollar was printed in 1957. And because some dollars do not have the motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, on the reverse there is a rumor going the rounds that either a communist or an atheist got into the Bureau of Printing and Engraving in Washington, D. C., where all the bills are printed, and removed the motto from some of the plates. Neither of these things is true. The year shown on a bill is not the year of printing but rather the year that a bill of that design was first released. Thus on the current small-size dollars, it is only possible to find the years 1928, 1934, 1935, and 1957. There are no others! The differences in design are usually rather minor. The most obvious change was the addition of the Great Seal of the United States on the reverse in 1935 and the corresponding reduction of the word ONE. The 1957 change was the additions of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. Thus the rumor is false, as most rumors are, (remember the one about the flag on the Jefferson nickel?) It is the new bills that have the motto while the older ones do not. The motto has not been removed by a subversive. Another item of interest is the letter following the series year. The first bills of a new design have no letter after the series year and later 'A', 'B', 'C', etc is added each time one of the signatures is changed. Each bill is signed at the lower left by the Treasurer of the United States, and at the lower right by the Secretary of the Treasury. Thus the later the letter, after the series year, the more current the bill. The dollar bills currently being produced are designated series of 1957 B and bear the signatures of Kathryn E. Granaham and C. Douglas Dillon. We have all learned that rules are made only to be broken. Thus returning to the rule that says the year is changed when the design is changed there is a current exception. As stated, the 1957 dollar was the first bill to include the motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, an it bore the signatures of Ivy Baker Priest and Robert B. Anderson. Just before the 1957 bill was introduced, the 1935 F bill was current and it, too, bore the signatures of Priest and Anderson. When Kennedy was elected President of the U. S., Priest and Anderson left office and Smith and Dillon were installed; their signature gave us the 1957 A series. However, their signatures were also used on bills of the 1935 series, so that we also have a 1935 G bill which bears the Smith-Dillon signatures; the former with the motto and the latter without. Then the 1935 G reverse plates were altered to add the motto, so there are now two major types of the 1935 G series, one with, and one without the motto. Thus the rule is broken. If the change that created the series of 1957 was the addition of the motto, why were the 1935 G bills made with a motto without changing the series year? The real distinction between the 1935 and the 1957 series is more than the change of design; it was a major change in printing techniques. The 1957 series bills are printed on larger sheets by a high-speed process. However, the older presses were used concurrently to print the 1935 G series. If they continue to use the old presses, it is possible that we will see a 1935 H series bill, which will bear the same signatures as the 1957 B; namely, Granaham-Dillon. I have not seen any 1935 H bills and would appreciate being advised if anyone does. The next item of interest on the dollar is the serial number. So far as I can determine, the serial number of the first dollar of the 1957 series bore the number A00000001A. The bills were numbered consecutively until number A99999999A was produced. (This is one bill short of one hundred million notes). As will be seen an extra note is added to each group so that each group will con- tain one hundred million notes. Then to continue the first letter was changed to B and the notes were numbered from B00000001A to B99999999A. The process repeated using C . . . A; D . . A, E . . . A, etc to Z . . . A, except that the letter '0' was omitted. If the series is continued, the next bill would be A . . . B, then B . . . B, C . . . B etc. Thus the process could continue through the alphabet many times the last letter combination I have seen on the 1957 series bills is B . . . B; therefore, it is possible that approxi- mately 27 groups of one hundred million notes were made. (Only 27 groups because the letter '0' was omitted). Thus 2,700,000,000 of the 1957 one dollar bills may have been produced. When Kennedy was elected and the 1957 A series with the Smith-Dillon signatures replaced the 1957 dollar with the Priest-Anderson signatures, the serial number designa- tion started over at A ... A and advanced through Q ... A. Thus only 16 groups of the 1957 A notes were made. The production of the 1957 B bills broke the pattern, or perhaps it might be said that with the production of these bills the old pattern was resumed. The 1957 B bills did not begin over at A ... A, but started right after the 1957 A bills with high numbers in the QQ . .. A series. That is the 1957 B serial numbers continued where the 1957 A's left off in the Q ... A series. This was done before as the 1935 F and the 1935 G notes both exist in the B J serial number series. On the subject of serial numbers, you may wonder why you never see a dollar with a low serial number since they start through the series from number 1 so often. It is a simple matter of probability. Only one note in ten thousand starts with four zeros. So far as I can determine, the serial numbers on the 1935 series bills, including all signature combinations, never repeated. Accordingly, with the 1935 series bills, they have produced sufficient groups of one hundred million each to work through the alphabet nine times and the newest 1935 G bill I have seen is letter D on the 10th time CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE PAGE 10 Papa iltehe VOL. 2, NO. 2 CURRENT CURRENCY CON'D FROM PAGE 9 around; specifically D . J. Thus nearly 30 billion of the bills of the 1935 series have been produced. Naturally only a small portion of these are in circulation at any one time. Incidentally the change in the 1935 G, to add the motto, occurred in the D J series, so 1935 G notes can be obtained in the D J series both with and without the motto. Now speaking of the 1935 series notes and the serial numbers on them, you should know that the 1935 A series notes were printed with both Yellow and Brown seals as well as the familiar Blue. The Yellow and Brown seal notes were special notes used by our soldiers overseas during World War II, and by the citizens of Hawaii, respectively. So far as I can determine, the serial numbers of the Yellow and Brown seal notes were included in the regular series of numbers for the Blue seals. Therefore, it should not be possible to find the same serial number, including letters, on two notes even though the notes have different colored seals. The serial numbers on the Brown seal notes are also in brown, while the numbers of the Yellow seal notes are in the familiar blue. The Brown seal notes also have HAWAII overprinted on the back in letters 5/8 of an inch high. It is also interesting to note that the Bureau experimented with different paper or paper finish, and identified the test notes with either a red 'R' or `S' towards the lower right corner on the obverse of the notes. These experimental notes were also series of 1935 A. The red letters are quite prominent, about 3/16 of an inch high. Yellow and Brown seal notes may occasionally be found in circulation but I have not seen an 'R' or 'S' note in 15 years. Earlier it was mentioned that the letter following the series year is changed when the signatures are changed. This, too, is a rule made to be broken. The first 1935 bill bore the signatures of W. A. Julian and Henry Morgen- thau, Jr., and the designation "Series of 1935" was printed higher and further to the right than is now conventional. When the location was changed to the present location, the series was changed to 1935 A, but still of course, with the Julian-Morgenthau signatures. But, we must not assume the rule that a change on the bill warrants a new letter after the series year. Remember the 1935 G exists both with and without the motto. Also during the printing of the 1935 D note, the distance from the bottom of the words ONE DOLLAR on the bottom of the reverse to the green margin was reduced, and a corresponding reduction was made above the words THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, so that the net result was to reduce the height of the design by approximately one millimeter. I would appreciate more information con- cerning this change. There is one unique dollar of particular interest. It is a bill that is series of 1928, but with a red seal instead of the conventional Blue. Blue, incidentally, is indicative of Silver Certificates; Green of Federal Reserve Notes; and Red of United States Notes. The special Yellow and Brown seals mentioned above were Silver Certificates. Thus the red seal, one dollar note is a United States Note and is the only one dollar U. S. Note ever made. All Two dollar bills are U. S. Notes, and five dollar bills come in all three varieties; while ten dollar bills are never U. S. notes. Please remember that these comments apply only to the bills of the present size, not to the old large notes. Also you should know that Brown seals were quite common at one time and do not always mean Silver Certificates nor Hawaii notes. The Brown seals were also used on money known as National Currency. A few of the $5 and higher denomination bills of this series may still be found in circulation. Another interesting distinguishing characteristic to collectors are what are commonly referred to as star notes. The star notes will include a star either at the front or end of the serial number in place of the letter normally found there. On Silver Certificates (Blue seals), and U. S. Notes (Red seals), the star will be found in place of the first letter. On Federal Reserve notes (Green seals), the star will be found in place of the last letter. (The first letter of the Federal Reserve Notes corresponds to the letter of the issuing district). The star notes are used by the Bureau to help maintain production control and accurate counts. As the bills are produced and numbered, it is inevitable that some of the bills will be damaged so badly that it is not considered desirable to allow them to get into circulation. However, removal and destruction of such defective bills creates a real inventory problem. Naturally the Bureau wants to be able to determine the quantity of finished bills in a stack by simply examining the first and last serial numbers of the group. If an indeterminate quantity of defective bills had been re- moved such a procedure would not be practical. Accord- ingly every time a defective bill is removed, it is replaced with a star note. Of course the Bureau might have re- printed the damaged bill, but resetting the machines to get the right number would be a slow and expensive process. The star in the serial number warns all Bureau personnel that a count can not be obtained from that po- sition using that star number. On the average two or three star notes will be found in each new pack of 100 bills. However, I have seen three or four dozen per pack, and even an occasional group of one hundred consecutive star notes; and I have seen several consecutive groups of hundreds with no star notes in any of them. The star notes are in no way defective bills themselves and are usually considered desirable and premium collector items. Inci- dentally the star notes are, of course, serially numbered and on the first series of numbers end with an A. The next series ends with B, etc. In the 1957 series I have seen star notes ending with A, B, and C. They started the 1957 A star notes over, so that 1957 A star notes also end with A. I have not seen a 1957 A star note with the serial number ending with anything but A. The 1957 B star notes are numbered right after the 1957 A star notes and thus are in the 90 million series and now the 1957 B star notes are in the * B series. The star notes in the 1935 series advanced through the alphabet and current 1935 G star notes end with G. Can anyone report a 1957 * D, or a 1957 A * B note, or any other not accounted for here? It was pointed out that the numbering system permits only 99,999,999 notes per letter combination. To simplify counting a star note is added after every 99,999,999th note. The star note used is indistinguishable from any other star note.

There arc three such numbers; 2 on the front, and 1 on the rear. On the obverse of a 1957 series note, for example, one number will be found towards the upper left, while the other is at the lower right. Each of these numbers is preceeded by a letter; always the same letter on a given bill. The third number is on the reverse in the lower right part of the open area, that is below the 'E' of ONE. The upper left number and letter are indicative of the particular location of that bill on the large uncut sheet having 32 bills total. The 1935 series bills are printed in smaller sheets having only 18 bills per sheet, and there- fore, a letter alone suffices to indicate location. The other two numbers, that is, the ones towards the lower right on front and back are similar in significance. These numbers are quite similar to plate numbers on stamps. That is they identify the plate from which any particular bill was printed. Thus if a defect is found after a bill is printed, it is a simple matter to determine and locate the defective plate. The plate numbers start with one for each new design. Thus plate number one can be found on the 1928 bills, the 1934, the 1935, and the 1957 series. Current plate numbers on the obverse of the 1935 G bills are over 8000. The plate numbers for the 1957 B bills start at about 730. However, it should not be assumed that there could be no 1957 B with a front plate number lower than 730, or a 1957 A bill with a front plate number great- er than 730. The notes are first printed without seals, signatures, and serial numbers and later in another print- ing run this information is added. Therefore, as the series changes from 1957 A to 1957 B, it would be quite possible to get a cross over on front (or rear) plate numbers. In- deed if some old stock from plate number one was found, it would be possible to add the 1957 B designation and The 24 major varieties of Color Of Series Seal Signatures 1928 Red Woods Woodin signatures to them. However, such a possibility is quite remote. I have seen 1957 A bills with a front plate number of 741 and 1957 B bills with a front plate number of 722. Generally collectors consider a bill printed from plate number one to be a desirable item. Of course a star note with a front and rear plate number of one would be an even more desirable item. For some reason that I am not aware of the front plates are replaced more frequently than rear plates. A new 1957 B bill has a front plate number of 745 and a rear plate number of 406. I would appreciate an explanation of this phenomenon. Most collectors are interested in obtaining signature variations and then try to duplicate the collection in star notes. Some collectors seek a sample of each possible letter combination in each signature variation, and possibly, some collectors seek to get a note from each plate number. Occasionally, too, a collector will reconstruct a sheet by obtaining a note from each location. Also collectors look for cute serial numbers, for example, low numbers or repetitive or successive digits, etc. Naturally too, collec- tors are concerned with condition and prefer crisp uncir- culated well centered notes. I hope that these notes may have added to your knowledge and possibly whetted your interest in forming a collection of current-size dollar bills. Unfortunately I suspect some of my beliefs may be erroneous and therefore I'd welcome corrections, and I would also appreciate answers to the various questions I raised throughout this essay. And if the editors permit it, I'll be glad to furnish another article providing the members of the society with any additional information I gather and/or that members send me. For the present I prefer to consider only the current-size bills and the low denominations, i.e., $10 and lower. Please let me hear from you. For convenience there is included a table indicating the 24 major varieties of the current-size dollar bills. the current-size dollar bills: Remarks The only Red Seal $1 1928 Blue 1928 A Blue 1928 B Blue 1928 C Blue 1928 D Blue 1928 E Blue 1934 Blue 1935 Blue 1935 A Blue 1935 A Brown 1935 A Yellow 1935 A Blue 1935 A Blue 1935 B Blue 1935 C Blue 1935 D Blue 1935 E Blue 1935 F Blue 1935 G Blue 1935 G Blue 1935 H Blue 1957 Blue 1957 A Blue 1957 B Blue Tate Mellon Woods Mellon Woods Mills Woods Woodin Julian Woodin Julian Morgenthau Julian Morgenthau Julian Morgenthau Julian Morgenthau Julian Morgenthau Julian Morgenthau Julian Morgenthau Julian Morgenthau Julian Vinson Julian Snyder Clarke Snyder Priest Humphrey Priest Anderson Smith Dillon Smith Dillon Granaham Dillon Priest Anderson Smith Dillon Granaham Dillon The three rarest of the current-size dollars The Hawaii bill Blue numbers, World War II Experimental 'R' Experimental 'S' Two types of backs Without motto With motto Not known to exist yet Rumored to exist without motto but I have no substantiation PAGE 12 41 Paper iitenq VOL. 2, NO. 2 THE SOCIETY OF PAPER MONEY COLLECTORS MEMBERSHIP ROLL NO.
