WHOLE NO. 34 Paper Money PAGE 43 Texas Obsolete Notes and Scrip - Supplement I By Bob Medlar Since The Society of Paper Money Collectors published the catalog on Texas currency in January 1%9, the splendid response by paper money collectors in reporting corrections, additional data and new listings has been most gratifying. It is always the fear of a cataloguer that a large collection will turn up which had not been reviewed or recorded, and thus there exists a tendency toward reluctance to issue a supplement and call the work finished. It is tempting to delay in hopes someone will report a new note or surface one on which we have only meager information. This supplement contains several new notes, identifies several about which we had no previous information and corrects several errors of the Cataloguer. ANDERSON GRIMES COUNTY All notes are printed on the reverse of other fiscal paper. 8-a. 2.00 STATE OF TEXAS Similar to #8. except amount. I Reported by R. E.

WHOLE NO. 34 Paper Money PAGE 49 Philatelic Numismata Latvian Banknotes Converted to Postage By Forrest W. Daniel Thirty-two Latvian postage stamps deserve numismatic recognition, not because they were used as a substitute for money as so many stamps were, but because they were printed on paper originally intended to he paper money. So many sheets of unfinished currency were left behind by defeated Bolshevic and German forces in 1919 that the young Latvian nation was supplied with paper for some time. A great shortage of paper forced the use of any paper available for stamps: military maps and ruled writing paper were also used. Several contending forces were opposed in the struggle for Latvian independence: Russia. Germany and the Latvian people with the assistance, at the end. of Great Britain and France. Latvia, at the beginning of World War I. had been part of Russia for more than a century and under her domination for several decades more. However, German influence was deeply ingrained in the influential landed and mercantile classes. Crusading knights from Germany conquered the Baltic area in the 13th century and set themselves as masters of the land and trade in Latvia. Riga became one of the richest cities of the Hanseatic League, and the influence of the German merchant princes remained for centuries. In time the German trading centers lost their dom- inance. and the area became part of Poland. Later. when Sweden became a power in the north, Latvia passed to her by conquest. The rise of Russia under Ivan IV and Peter I made access to the Baltic coast a necessity. leading to Russian acquisition of the area. The old German landed nobility remained from the early times. They had been under some restraint under Swedish rule, so took an active part in the change to Russian rule and were influential in Russian affairs under the empire. The German army occupied the province of Kurzeme (Courland) in 1915 but the "Oberost" military adminis- tration was unable to extend itself farther into Latvia until the revolution undermined Russian resistance. Riga was not occupied until September. 1917. Early resist- ance to German invasion was enhanced by the formation, in 1915, of eight Latvian regiments in the Russian army. These units later became the nucleus of the Latvian na- tionalist army, although some joined the Communist re- volutionaries. The fall of the Russian imperial government in 1917 nurtured the nationalistic feeling of many groups throughout the empire, not least the Latvians. Most prominent among the freedom groups were the Latvian Provisional National Council, which issued a declaration of independence in November of 1917, and the Latvian Democratic Bloc. The two groups formed a common front in 1918 and with the imminent defeat of Germany again proclaimed Latvian independence and asked for recognition by the Allies. An independent Latvia was recognized by Great Britain on November 11. 1918, and a provisional government with Janis Cakste. president, and Karlis Ulmanis, prime minister, was established in Riga a week later. The provisional government then had to fight both Russian and German attempts at domination. Part of the Latvian Rifles contingent in the Russian im- perial army turned Red and invaded Latvia on December 14, 1918, and on January 3. 1919, proclaimed the Riga Workers' Council a Soviet republic. The Latvian govern- ment retreated to Liepaja. The Germans offered assist- ance to the retreating Latvians and advanced on Riga. The Reds evacuated Riga on May 22, and the Germans took over. The Latvians then turned against the Ger- mans and the Germans were forced from Riga a month later. In June an Allied military commission ordered all German forces to return to East Prussia. After a de- lay, the commander. Gen. von der Goltz, and part of the army left. but some 42,000 men remained in the field. A German-Russian adventurer, Col. Pavel Bermondt-Avalov, took command of the force, declared it to be the "White Russian Volunteer Army of the West" and continued fighting, still receiving support from Germany. Bermondt-Avalov's "Westarmy" occupied some suburbs of Riga on October 8 but was forced to retire to Jelgava by the Latvians with assistance from British and French naval artillery on November 10. The Westarmy occupied Jelgava until December. 1919, before being driven from Latvia. The province of Latgale remained in Red hands until January, 1920: then Latvia was free. The peace treaty with Germany was signed June 19, 1920, and with Soviet Russia on August 11. Several types of currency circulated in Latvia in 1919. issues of the Russian and Latvian governments, the Ger- man military authority, and local and provincial issues. Only the issues of the Riga Workers' Deputies' Council (Rigas Stradneeku Deputatu Padomes) and Bermondt- Avalov's Westarmy are of concern in this study. The Riga Workers' Council was in control of Riga from January 3 until May 22, and the Germans headquartered in Jelgava from April until late in December. The issuance of currency by insurgent armies during brief periods of military occupation is not as frivolous a pursuit as it may seem. It gives a feeling of permanence and security; its value depends, however, on the success of the issuing authority. During the period of doubt, use of the currency gives some semblance of payment by the group in power and garners some support for the regime in the hope the currency will eventually be redeemed. The story is told of a Russian general who became very offended when offered some notes of his own issue in change for a bill of higher value. He said. "I had that money printed to pay out, not to have it returned." But being an accommodating person, he said he was willing to take British or American money in change. In his posi- tion he might not have felt like paying at all. PAGE 50 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 34 NUMISMATICS The Riga Workers' Council issued four denominations of very colorful lithographed Exchange Notes (Mamas Zimes) bearing the signatures of Simanis Bergis, presi- dent, and Grikewitz, secretary. They are dated 1919 and. designated valid until January 1, 1920. All notes have the hammer and scythe and the red star of the Commun- ists and the phrase which translates "Workers of the world unite." The notes are not numbered but have the following control letters: 1 rublis, AR; 3 rubli, AB; 5 rubli. RO: 10 rubli AK. Total issue was 4,231,140 rubli. Quantities of unfinished notes were left behind at the printing office of Alex. Grosset (later the State Printing Office I in various states of completion when the Reds evacuated Riga on May 22. The 3, 5, and 10 rubli notes exist printed only on one side: since unfinished notes did not circulate as currency, it is reasonable to believe that some of the sheets were cut for souvenirs and to provide varieties of collectors. The Latvian government, faced with a shortage of paper for its own use, laid claim to the sheets of unfinished notes and used the blank sides of 5 and 10 rubli notes as stock for printing postage stamps. The paper used for 1, 3. and 5 rubli notes was manu- factured by Louis Staffel. Witzenhausen, and has a star and triangle watermark. The 1 rublis note is brown, blue and red; designed by B. Dzenis; 93 x 54 mm.; printed 10 x 10, 100 to the sheet. The green, red and black 3 rubli note was designed by A. Cirulis; 100 x 60 mm. in size and printed 6 x 5. 30 to the sheet. Neither the 1 nor the 3 rubli notes were used for stamps. Five rubli notes of the Riga Soviet were designed by L. Liberts and printed in blue, red and black; the 114 x 71 mm. notes were arranged 6 x 5, or 30 notes to each. 1.8 x 23:1/8 inch sheet. Sheets with the blue background color only on one side were cut in half to facilitate the printing of postage. Both halves of the sheet were num- bered. The blue half sheets are the only ones to have been numbered, seemingly as a control, before being printed as stamps. The side printed with stamps is also numbered. The brown, green and red 10 rubli notes were printed on pinkish paper with a wavy line watermark manu- factured by Poensgen & Co., Bergisch Gladbach. These notes were found in several states of completion: 1.1 the complete note, brown, red and green: and partially print- ed notes: 2.1 only brown and green; 3. ( without rays and red color: and 4.1 brown text only. All four states were used for stamps, the latter three types being scarce. The notes measure 113 x 73 mm., printed 6 x 5, or 30 to the sheet. The government of Col. Bermondt-Avalov and his vol- unteer army of the west was located at Jelgava, also known as Mitau, 20 miles southwest of Riga from October to December, 1919. After the defeat of that army by the Latvian government, a quantity of unfinished Provi- sional Exchange Notes was found there. The government look possession of the paper. One. 2, 5 and 10 mark lithographed notes were printed by J. Stefanhagen. but all the 2 mark notes were de- stroyed in a fire in a railroad car in Jelgava. One side was printed with Russian text and the other with German, the Russian side being considered the front. The notes are dated "Mitau, 10 Oct. 1919" and are payable April 1, 1920. Signatures are Avalov-Bermondt, Colonel, Com- mander-in-chief of the Army; and Engelhardt. Manager of the State Economic Department of the Army. All of these notes have the Russian imperial eagle and a Maltese cross on the Russian side of the bill, and the Russian orthodox cross faintly outlined in the tinted back- grounds. The notes are serially numbered and have the embossed seal of the Voluntary Army of the West with a double-headed eagle. All values of the notes are known without the embossed seal. The paper has no watermark; the manufacturer is unknown. The 1 mark note is 100 x 70 mm. in size and has a light brown front with black text; the back is blue text on a light blue background. The 5 mark is 120 x 86 mm.: it has black text on a blue and pink background, while the back is red on a pale pink background. The 10 mark note is printed with the black Russian text on greenish paper, while the German hack is brown text on green background; the size is 134 x 95 mm. Ten mark notes are known without the green background and in other varieties. Of the Bermondt-Avalov notes only the unfinished 10 marks were used for postage stamp paper. In addition to the three values of notes printed in Jelgava a 50-mark note was printed by Schulz or Schwarz in Berlin. The design is completely different from the Jelgava notes. They are very similar in layout to the Russian 50 ruble note of 1899 except that the portrait of the czar is replaced with the Russian eagle. The re- verse text, in German, is that of the Bermondt-Avalov Westarmy. The front has black text on white paper, and the back has green text on a tan background: note size is 148 x 93 mm. Circulation of Westarmy notes is stated officially as 10 million marks, but there is speculation that the total is much more, especially since the Berlin notes appear to total 25 million marks themselves. The financial affairs of the Westarmy were the private business of the com- mander, so there is no way to determine the accuracy of his accounting. Minor varieties include different sizes of serial num- bers. PHILATELICS As paper stock for its earliest issues of postage stamps, the young Latvian republic had to use whatever paper it could find in sufficient quantities to make its use practical. Military maps and ruled writing paper were used in ad- dition to other stocks of unused paper which were avail- able. As a result, several issues of stamps have unusual designs on the back, or gum side. Unfinished sheets of Riga Soviet and German army bank notes were added to the paper supply, resulting in an unusual combination of philatelics with numismatics. The 1919 Latvian Independence Commemorative issue of postage stamps appears in three values and two sizes.

This is the paper used for the 5 rubli notes of the Riga Workers' Council cut in half and salvaged for use as postage. giving the stamps a variable blue design on the back. Stamps were printed 78 to the sheet, arranged 13 x 6, with 531.024 printed. The rublis stamps were withdrawn from sale in 1920 so they could be overprinted with new values of 10. 20 and 30 rubli. Postal officials feared the simple oval block lithographed overprint could be easily counterfeited. so use of the revalued stamps was limited to consignments. parcel post and money orders; "but on no consideration are these stamps to be handed over to the public for tak- ing away from the post offices." All overprinted stamps presented by the public, not purchased at the moment. were to be considered counterfeit. Stamp dealer George H. Jaeger of Liepaja reported he was able to purchase stamped (cancelled?) sheets of high value stamps on order of the Postmaster General. Color and amounts of the overprints are: lOr black on 1r, 234,000; 20r brown on 1r, 156,000: 30r blue on 1r, 78,000.

Latvian semi-postal stamps of 1920 provide the greatest variety of types printed on hank notes-20 major types. Semi-postal stamps call for the payment of two rates: one the postal fee and the other an additional fee for the benefit of some charitable organization or to raise funds for other public works. In this case the additional fee went to the Latvian Red Cross. The stamp design showing an allegorical figure of Mercy assisting two wounded soldiers and fending off Death with a shield was drawn by Rich. Sarrinsch. head of the State Printing Office. The postal, or franking value, is at the lower left corner of the oval. In a panel below the central design is a red cross. the phrase "Pahrdoschanas zena ar peernaksit Latwijas Sarkanain Krustam" I selling price includes surcharge for the Lat- vian Red Cross I. and the total fee.

The stamps are 28 x 27 mm. and were printed on three types of bank note paper, each with distinctive color printing on the back.

The 10 rubli notes of the Riga Workers' Council used for the third type reverse on semi-postal stamps were printed in brown, red and green. Because the green and red portions of the notes are small, some of the stamps do not have any portion bearing either of these colors. In addition, stamps are known on paper which had not re- ceived red and green printing. This group has the ad- ditional distinction of being imperforate. Quantities of brown back stamps are: 20 ( 301k, 83,200; 40 (55)k, 83.200; 50 (70)k, 83,200; 1 (1.30)r, 70,076. Sale was authorized by a Post Office circular of August 17. 1920, and dealer Jaeger reported the entire issue was rapidly sold out. The few post offices outside Riga which received them did not have all values. The only place a complete set of sheets was available was the Latvian Red Cross in Riga. and Jaeger said those could be obtained only with a certain supercharge." The set of four blue- hack sheets checked by the author has been carefully can- celled, each cancellation centered at the corners of four stamps and dated "Riga 27.8.20 Latwija." Because of the erosion of Latvian currency and in- creased costs, the Red Cross received less than expected from sales of the stamps, so a number of sheets were withheld from sale. On March 5, 1921, the Red Cross applied to the Minister of Communication for permission to increase the Red Cross fee to 2 rubli on all stamps. Approval was given, and the remaining sheets were re- turned to the State Printing Office for overprinting "RUB. 2 RUB.": the earlier sales value was marked out. Quantities issued of brown and green back stamps with the new value are: 20k plus 2r, 51,885; 40k plus 2r. 52.192: 50k plus 2r. 52,306: lr plus 2r. 51,185. Quantities of revealed stamps with blue backs are: 20k plus 2r, 8,520; 40k plus 2r, 8,765; 50k plus 2r, 8.941; lr plus 2r, 8,695. Demand for the stamps was so great they were sold out at the Riga post office in one day. Persons in official positions were permitted to buy the complete sheets they wanted first, and only the stamps with the brown and green backs were offered over the counter. Dealers paid four to six times face for the brown and green ones and 20 times face for the blue. When sheets of notes were cut in half before printing, the cut edges of the halves were placed together on the stacks. This had the effect of turning half the number of sheets 180 degrees. The Latvian Independence and semipostal issues were printed at a 90 degree angle to the note design so the reverse printing may read either up or down relative to the stamp design. On the Latgale Relief issue the reverses are either upright or inverted. Philat- elists make this additional distinction in collecting varie- ties of these stamps. Full sheets of stamps seldom come on the market nowa- days but they are available occasionally: most of them were torn into single stamps for approval sheets many years ago. Blocks of stamps bearing a complete bank note on the back are located from time to time. Single stamps of these issues are fairly common, but to locate enough to reconstruct the three notes from the reverses would not be quickly accomplished but could prove an interesting pastime. The borderline between numismatics and philatelics is not as clear-cut as many believe. In fact the area of overlap is so great that a comprehensive collection of philatelic numismata would astound collectors in both fields.

Murk The first banks established while the American Col- onies were still under British dominion were Land Banks. They were formed because the people had no capital resources and needed credits and money to transact their business. Stockholders pledged their land as security for the notes of a bank: these notes were then circulated as money. While this system worked after a fashion, it was not the ultimate in satisfaction. One of the early banks of this type was the Land Bank of Massachusetts; it was organized in 1739 and remained in business for 20 years. Banking after the Revolution had very few if any restrictions imposed from without. Numerous groups in several states tried to found banks that would be recog- nized as official institutions of the government. Notable among these was the Bank of the State of Pennsylvania, which was organized in 1780. The Bank of the State of New York and the Bank of Maryland followed close behind. These banks were chartered and supported by the states, which sometimes held a share of the capital stock. Other localities allowed banks to organize which sometimes assumed the name of state banks. although the capital was subscribed by the public. These banks issued currency and made loans but received no large volume of deposits because the country had no great surplus of wealth, specie or otherwise. Congress, in attempting to relieve the chaos, chartered the Bank of North America, which was organized in Philadelphia in 1781. Robert Morris was Superintendent of Finance for the government and it was through his advice that this bank was formed. It did prove success- ful in making temporary loans to the government. Morris' attempts to develop dependable sources of reve- nues for the government were not so successful. however. Washington was chosen first President of the United States in 1789 by unanimous vote. For his constitu- tional advisors he appointed Thomas Jefferson for Secre- tary of State: Henry Knox, Secretary of War: Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury; and Edmund Randolph. Attorney General. Jefferson was a profound scholar, a deep thinker, and a believer in the common man for self-government. Hamilton, on the other hand, was an aristocrat by nature and had married into the wealthiest family of the landed gentry in New York. He was representative of the trading, banking and commercial interests of New York and New England. This included the Tories of the Revolution. The first Bank of the United States With two statesmen of such diverse and antagonistic views in the same cabinet, it was inevitable that such conflicts in political sentiment would lead to the be- ginnings of two great political parties. As nearly as can be ascertained. Hamilton was the instigator of the formation of the Bank of the United States. The enabling act received his utmost aid in Congress and was adopted February 25, 1791. The Bank of the United States was then under way. Jefferson was very much opposed to this Bank be- cause he believed it vested too much power in creating a monopoly, bolstered by the credit and revenues of the government. In a most pointed communication to Washington, he advised the veto of the bill. but Wash- ington sided with Hamilton, his Secretary of the Trea- sury, and signed the bill into law. The act fixed the Bank's capital at ten million dollars, of which eight million was subscribed by the public and two million by the government. The Bank was given power to issue circulating notes as money having full legal tender for the payment of taxes and demands due the government. It was made the official Depositary of the government, and thus it became the fiscal agent of the Treasury Department. The charter ran for 20 years. Thomas Willing. who worked with Robert Morris in supporting the financial side of the Revolution. was appointed by Washington as a commissioner. along with others, to receive subscriptions to the Bank and then served as president of it until 1797, when his health broke and he retired to private life. Thomas Jefferson remained in opposition to the Bank. and his voice was heard as serious political opposition was developed by a group of citizens who feared the centralization of power in the federal government. Con- gress refused to renew the charter, so the Bank was liquidated in 1811. All obligations were paid in full. The second Bank of the United States After the liquidation the country was plagued with numerous local and state banks which operated with little or no supervision. Because they could operate so loosely and had no legal obligations to maintain specie reserves against notes issued, failures were very common in times of recession. Agitation was started for the formation of a strong National Bank. It was instrumental in the formation of the Second Bank of the United States in 1816. The capital was increased to thirty-five million dollars. Twenty of its directors were chosen by stockholders and five were appointed by the President of the United States. The government held a large block of stock. The Bank issued notes of $5 and larger which were legal tender. It was obliged to transfer public funds free of charge and was made the official depository of government funds. In return for the exclusive privilege of national charter, the Bank paid the government a bonus of one and a half million dollars. Congress in 1817 required that all moneys due the government be paid only in specie. Treasury notes, notes of the Bank of the United States or in notes of local banks that were payable in these foregoing currencies. This forced the state banks to tighten up and resulted in sounder banking practices. dotv. , eL4 /OW 73ollatoL- 00 Or aCet7Crj 201/1117 .---) 7 .N.iyto 40--ee eo.

Both of the buildings that these banks occupied are still standing in Philadelphia. The first Bank of the United States is probably the oldest bank building in the country. It is on Third Street between Walnut and Chestnut. The second is located between Fourth and Fifth near Chestnut. Neither is far from Carpenter's or, as we know it, Independence Hall. The City Bank of New York An interesting side light of this story is the formation of the City Bank of New York. Washington and Hamilton were, indirectly, the fathers of this bank also. When the first Bank of the United States was dechartered by Congress, it left a void in banking circles of New York City that had to be filled. A group petitioned the New York state legislature for a charter for the City Bank of New York. Three days after it was granted, the directors met to elect officers. A deal was worked out whereby the holders of the liquidating Bank of the United States stock could trade it on an equitable basis for City Bank stock. Owners of some ten thousand shares chose to make the trade. Capitalization was two million, but an active banking business was started with eight hundred thousand paid in. The City Bank occupied the New York offices at 52 Wall Street vacated by the first Bank of the United States. It moved once, in 1908, down the street to No. 55, where it has remained until the present. At the start of the National Banking System, the bank surrendered its state charter and in 1865 opened as the National City Bank. In 1921, the Commercial Exchange National Bank was absorbed. It was then that National City began opening branch banks throughout the city. Up to this time its only place of business had been Wall Street, with only one move in 109 years. In 1929, the Farmers Loan and Trust Company was incorporated into its banking structure. In 1931, the Bank of America was also absorbed, again increasing branch banking and total resources. The National City was the first National Bank to establish branches abroad and has always been active in developing American foreign trade. No city in the world of any importance in commerce is without a branch, correspondent or affiliate of this bank. The National City Bank has a traveler's check that is recog- nized wherever men meet. Washington and Hamilton did a good job, with very little help. Among the more interesting souvenirs of this period in our banking history is a muled check of one of the earlier banks—the Bank of North America, Bank of Maryland, Bank of the State of Pennsylvania, or the Bank of the State of New York with the name of the original bank crossed out and the first Bank of the United States written in.

Cooper In a previous issue of PAPER MONEY (Whole No. 30) a postscript to the article "Another Lost Cause" com- mented on the Northern-produced, contemporary, "Fac- simile" Confederate States of America paper money. Much remains to be unfolded of the history of the activi- ties which not only enriched the pockets of Yankee pro- moters but also patriotically well served the war effort of the Federals. S. C. Upham of Philadelphia is the best known of this group of "counterfeiters" because of his productivity, willingness to put his name on his work, and frequent advertisement of his wares, which included Confederate stamps as well as the currency. Thus Sam Upham op- erated very publicly and apparently within the sanction of the law, and one would assume so did his numerous competitors. But lacking adequate historical informa- tion, can we make this assumption? Recently an intriguing letter came to light which raises a number of interesting questions. This letter reads: OFFICE OF THE DISPATCH New York June 29, 1864 HON. ABRAHAM LINCOLN President of the United States Permit me to address your Excellency on behalf of Winthrop E. Hilton, who was arrested in December last, charged as I understand with the crime of printing Bank Notes and making machinery for the Rebel Government. Mr. Hilton prior to his arrest was engaged in the print- ing business in this city and sustained an excellent business reputation, and who politically was one of your early supporters. His friends (who are numerous, and among our most loyal citizens) claim that they can show that he is not guilty of the crime with which he is charged, and their demand is the opportunity of doing so. This they allege has been refused by the government. I cannot believe such to be the fact, as I feel sure that you would not sanction any outrage on the personal rights of your fellow citizens. From what I know of this case I am satisfied that it is one which should receive immediate attention in order to avoid in- jury to our cause in the coming political camps. Under this conviction I have mentioned to urge on you the necessity of at once affording Mr. Hilton an opportunity of proving his innocence and thus put an end to the discussion which cannot fail to harm us if permitted to be much longer continued. I have the honor to be Respectfully, /s/ A. J. WILLIAMSON The back of the letter has the following synopsis in the handwriting of Abraham Lincoln (though not signed or initialed) ; it was his custom to make such notations on correspondence reaching him: A.

Upham, for rea- sons not known, had terminated his activity in August 1863. Mr. Hilton was arrested in December 1863. Had the "Souvenir facsimile" market dried up enough to make it an unprofitable business; did it tempt the printer to offer clandestinely to print legitimately for the Rich- mond government? Or had the Yankee business men who brought southern cotton through the battle lines and used many times this type of currency in payment created such a nuisance as to require strong action by Washing- ton? They annoyed General Grant so much in the West that he banned them in his command area. The book Secret and Urgent, by Fletcher Pratt, which deals with the history of cryptography, tells an interesting story about Mr. Hilton. In December 1863. the New York City postmaster intercepted a letter mailed from his city and addressed to a known Confederate agent in Halifax. Nova Scotia. The letter when decoded read, "Say to Memminger that Hilton will have the machine all finished and dies all cut ready for shipping by the first of January. The engraving of the plates is superb." With this information the U. S. Marshal arrested Winthrop Hilton and seized several million dollar's worth of Con- federate money and bonds along with the printing plates.

By Richard Banyai The Biblical statement, "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray. . . .", 1 Timothy 6:10, is indeed one which has been quoted often and which con- tains an invaluable message. On the one hand, money has been blamed for the ills of mankind; on the other hand, money has been classified as a passive element in society exerting a force only when it "gets out of order". Below is a quotation from Papini. Life of Christ, pages 202-03. regarding the "evil" of money: Among the unclean things which men have manu- factured to defile the earth and defile themselves, money is perhaps the most unclean. These counters of coined metal which pass and repass every day among hands still soiled with sweat or blood, worn by the rapacious fingers of thieves, of merchants, of misers; this round and viscid sputum of the Mint, desired by all, sought for, stolen, envied, loved more than love and often more than life; these ugly pieces of stamped matter, which the assassin gives to the cut-throat, the usurer to the hungry, the enemy to the traitor, the swindler to his partner, the simonist to the barterer in religious offices, the lustful to the woman bought and sold, these foul vehicles of evil which persuade the son to kill his father, the wife to betray her husband, the brother to defraud his brother, the wicked poor man to stab the wicked rich man, the servant to cheat his master, the highway- man to despoil the traveller; this money, these material emblems of matter, are the most terrifying objects manufactured by man. Money, which has been the death of so many bodies is every day the death of thousands of souls. More contagious than the rags of a man with the pest, than the pus of an ulcer, than the filth of a sewer, it enters into every house, shines on the counters of the money changers, settles down in money chests, profanes the pillow of sleep, hides itself in the fetid darkness of squalid back-rooms, sullies the innocent hands of children, tempts virgins, pays the hangman for his work, goes about on the face of the earth to stir up hatred, to set cupidity on fire, to hasten corruption and death. John Stuart Mill said: There cannot, in short, be intrinsi- cally a more insignificant thing, in the economy of so- ciety, than money; except in the character of a contri- vance of sparing time and labor. It is a machine for doing quickly and commodiously, what would be done, though less quickly and commodiously, without it: and like many other types of machinery. it only exerts a dis- tinct and independent influence of its own when it gets out of order. Money indeed is a very useful thing for facilitating commerce and other types of exchange and payment. Money is an instrument which may be used for "good" or for "evil" and it is foolish to blame the instrument for what its owner does. John Stuart Mill summed it up when he stated "(money I exerts a distinct and independ- ent influence of its own when it gets out of order." It gets out of order due to the manipulation of man.

PAGE 60 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 34 The Grading Game By Guy A. Cruse (Concluded from PAPER MONEY No. 33, Page 13) Chapter Four Cosmetics, or is that her own beauty? 1. There is a legend about the housewife who made superb mincemeat pie. She also made delicious apple pie. In order to tell them apart, before baking she cut an initial into the dough crust topping the pies. Ex- cellent idea, except she cut the same letter "T" into both toppings. When asked by a friend what the letter T stood for she replied, "Oh, easy. One T stands for 'Tis mince; the other T stands for 'Taint." This type of frustrating dissemblance all too often occurs in nicely "baked" paper. 2. Who of us has not handled the early date note and felt that its texture and radiance were just a little too youthful for its middle-aged years? And so, suspicions aroused, we have looked for other signs of facelifting. Almost anyone can be expert in this kind of detective work, with a little common sense. a. Hardly anyone would suggest that women abandon all use of cosmetics. Yet on the other hand, most men are inclined to feel that theatrical stage make-up on a woman for street wear in the bright light of day some- how looks—shall we say—meretricious? b. Clean up a note, press it carefully, even apply a little "eye shadow" on the white streaks . . . why not? There are few things au naturel, from the civilized point of view, that cannot he improved upon. The market place offers, and everyone takes in stride, a constant flood of reconditioned appliances and used automobiles. The jeweler who offered a diamond trinket that belonged to Catherine the Great without first cleaning it up wouldn't be in business very long. c. It's not a matter of principle, it's the money! Each one of us is something of a purist at heart. No one wants to be sold a work of art as original, only to find later on that it's a good copy. If the copy is so labeled before sale and it suits the buyer's purpose, both seller and buyer have completed a mutually satisfactory trans- action. d. You may elect to use cosmetics on a paper note, or not. If you do, then by all means so label it. The Federal Government keeps a sharp eye on possible misleading or false advertising in foods and drugs, and society is the better for it. To the numismatist, paper money is his food and drug. e. In my own collection I have devised a simple method of cataloging notes. I always start off with the grade first. To any numismatist, this is the single, most im- portant fact to ascertain about the note. If the note has been cleaned, I start off with "c"; if pressed, with a following "p": if both, with "cp." Cosmetics are as much a part of grading as the nose is part of the face. This is immediately followed by the grade proper, such as XF: the denomination, such as $5; the BEP title or official name of note, such as USN—not "red seal" or "legal tender"—and the series year. Thus, identification will appear. cpXF $5 USN 1907 From this capsule description I have immediately all the information necessary for a general knowledge of the note. In my own cataloging I go a step further and have evolved a simple code which tells me the amount I paid for a note and the date acquired. If there is room, or it is desirable, I sometimes add other data. For example, on the note above, I might add the signa- tures—as. Woods/White. Thus, the second line with the above might appear: cpXF $5 USN 1907 450.370 Woods/White The second line tells me that I paid $45 for the note in March of 1970. ( If I acquired a new $5 note at a bank, the first three digits would be 000. or 050., however you want to look at it. I The second line also tells me that at the time of issue of the note (Walter 0.) Woods was Register of the Treasury and (Frank) White was Treasurer of the U.S. By quick reference to a textbook 1 can also determine that the note was actually issued for use in the 1920s, when these two gentlemen were in office. f. I submit that the first line of the cataloging method above, or some closely similar variation of it, should be widely adopted by both dealer and collector. Pricing, of course, and its coding are up to the individual dealer or collector. and what he wants to tell himself or others. (1) If the note in the above example had not been subject to cosmetic treatment, the line would read sim- ply: XF $5 USN 1907. This is most important: it tells the collector that the note is being offered to him, or he has already acquired it, in its natural state of wear. Ob- viously, if it grades XF, without cosmetics, it is in a better state than a note which has been pulled up from a natural VF grade to XF in appearance—at first glance. thanks to a visit to a beauty shop. g. The philosophy. Although the Supreme Court has in effect banished the word pornography from the language by refusing to inter- pret or promulgate any reasonable definitions of the term for public reference (what is "redeeming" social signifi- cance? I think it is high time we ragpickers banish silence and come out in the open about cleaning and pressing or the use of cosmetics and the dolling up of our favorite commodity. Nothing can be gained by pretending it does not exist. (1) 1 am not arguing either for or against the cosmetic approach. I personally believe that a truly New note, or an Almost Uncirculated note should never, ideally, be subjected to either cleaning or pressing. Below these WHOLE NO. 34 Paper Money PAGE 61 two grades. however, the horizon stretches without limit in the Land of Make-Believe and Caveat Emptor, and it would be naive to pretend that such stretching of the truth is summarily rejected by all dedicated numismatists. (2) What I am arguing for is that both seller and buyer admit the fact. when it does exist, and so identify or label paper in transaction. If this be purism, then I am a purist. Perhaps it sounds as though I were trying to establish myself as the Ralph Nader of ragpicking! I am not. I hope I am engaged in "meaningful" mon- olog. I have discussed the subject with several papyrus purveyors, and while there is uniform agreement that a problem exists, almost none will proffer a remedial solution. So I say to all: where are you? Are you still alive and well and living under a cabbage leaf? If so. PAPER MONEY is the indicated medium for such verbal rebuttal as may result from this article. Chapter Five Grade-O-Rama 1. The graph. the gradient, the calibration call it what you will—is one of the concomitants of our times. The founding fathers of our USA wisely decided on a decimal system for coinage and paper. I They fell flat on their the metric system, being adopted elsewhere in the world faces, albeit, when it came to voting down adoption of soon after our founding. 2. With due deference to Messrs. Brown and Dunn, the "C & D" ( Cruse & Damnation) system proposes that we have a meeting of the Board of Directors—you the dealer. and you the collector—and establish some by-laws and policies on grading. It's not only the democratic way of doing things and admittedly old fashioned, but in this case it makes sterling common sense. (1) To that end the C & D system following will serve as a basis of discussion for refinement, and hopefully not as a point of departure. The system proposed is appli- cable primarily to USA notes of actual issue only since 1900. Notes of the 1860s to 1900, and obviously notes earlier than that period, cannot have exactly the same parameters for grading. I cannot resist the observation. nonetheless, that a Floor Rag is a Floor Rag, no matter what century it originated in. 3. The Proposition a. Like the Declaration Of Independence. we must hold something to be self-evident. This is the grading term "New." It therefore represents the theoretic perfection of a newly printed note, or 100 in a scale running from a theoretic 0 to 100. h. The C & D System c. Within the range of New, 95 up to theoretic 100, there is obviously room for "average New" grade, and-- Grade Scale I New (also CU) 95 to 100 AU (for Almost Unc) 90 to 95 XF/AU On the 90 line XF (for Extra Fine) 80 to 90 XF± 85 to 90 (w/o + or— XF = About 85) XF— 80 to 85 VF/XF On the 80 line VF (for Very Fine) 70 to 80 VF+ 75 to 80 (w/o + or— VF = About 75) VF— 70 to 75 F/VF On the 70 line F (for Fine) 60 to 70 G (for Good: includes 50 to 60 Fair, Poor and VG grades, as now used) Filler Anything below 50 Natural Condition (without cosmetics) Handling only from bank outlet to you, via dealer or collector.

New notes with average registration are simply New, which may be written "N" or "New" (Refer to 3.c. below). 2 If a note could properly be classified as one grade higher, except for one out- standing deficiency, grade it lower/upper. Never grade it upper with a lengthy ex- planation as to why it is really lower grade. 3 Avoid using G as a grade, for the most part. The lower limit of F grade should be the least considered collectible. PAGE 62 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 34 borrowing from silver a quality close to .999 fine. What to call it? Of course, not "gem." That refers to metal or other hard materials. "Select" or "choice" would do; although those terms are overworked, and particularly bring to mind classification of coins. (1) How about "excellent," or "EN" for excellent, new? Even better, why not simply "E," under- standing that it is used only to denote the best quality in a New note? Excellent should mean the best possible registration, and registration is defined as : Nearly perfect centering of engraved design and line border within the cut edges of the note. All white margins of the note uniformly wide with respect to face, and uniformly wide on back of the note. All engraved design finely printed and overprinted, lines sharp and clear ; and seal and serial numbers properly located and spaced within the field of the engraved design. This criterion must be modified for old large-size notes, early this century and pre-1900. In such notes, particularly on the face, uniform width is possible only for top and bottom white margins, and side or end margins that can be uniform them- selves but will be of different width than top and bottom margins. Being purely arbitrary, and purposely allowing some tolerance, I would define uniformity of white margin width as the narrower margin being not less than two-thirds the width of the wider mar- gin. (I believe most reasonable persons would agree that to allow as much as a 50 percent dif- ference in the widths of two "uniform" margins would be a contradiction of definition.) Also, in any note an engraved field and border line that is to the naked eye noticeably askew with respect to the cut edges of the note, cannot be called "E," although it might certainly qualify otherwise as New. There is a plethora of such notes currently being churned out by the BEP, which brings to mind immediately the unpleasant possibility of someone's coming up with a "Nas- kew" grade! (2) It should be self evident that an E note and a New note can be equally crisp, or that the E note can by the most delicate laboratory instruments. Hence, it be less crisp than the New note, when measured by is all the more absurd to use the term "crisp" as an indicator of quality in the best grades of notes. Good registration, on the other hand, cannot change and will not deteriorate with use or age. Furthermore, good registration, like beauty, is a delight to look upon and its own excuse for being. (3) As defined above, good registration is worth consideration in any grade of circulated note; of two notes equally worn, the more desirable one is the note with good, or better registration. Chapter Six From Sea to Shining Sea With all the fineness necessary and used every day in precision industries in the USA, it is a sad fact that BEP printing press equipment is not all of the best. and human sloppiness exists. The Government seems more com- mitted to turning out quotas of new notes, on a fill-the- gap basis. than it is to turning out fine specimens of the engraver's and printer's art. as nearly exact and perfect as it is humanly possible to achieve. Unfortunately we are all subtly influenced by the mass- production psychology which exhorts: make it good enough for the purpose intended, and to last a while; and when it wears out or down, throw it away and get a new one. This planned obsolescence (easily explained away as good for business) runs the gamut from houses and automobiles to wrist watches, paper clothing and plastic quidnuncs. The cost of having it repaired is literally more than the cost of a new one. They grow on trees. Soberly, it creates a current paper money point to ponder when one is almost forced to regard currency in the same use-it-up and throw-it-away category. So, it's askew, badly centered or printed. Who cares? To you, I say: I love and honor this country and its form of Government. I am first of all a proud citizen, reflecting on the best of what our country has been, is now, and can be in the future. I am secondly a numis- matist. I firmly believe that as a symbol of this Government, and of our collective integrity, our paper currency de- serves the very finest treatment in its design and produc- tion,—and in collecting! Needling the haystack of the currency is—let's face it —the somewhat esoteric forte of the ragpicker. Needle anyone? WE BUY AND SELL LARGE SIZE U. S.

Roy Pennell, Jr. In the past several years the practice of making copies of genuine notes by offset printing has been a nuisance to collectors and legitimate dealers. As a result of this flood of junk, many collectors have bought items as genuine that are recent copies. Most publications will not knowingly take ads for unmarked copies. Two major types of copies are found: in order to clarify my remarks about them I will use the following definitions: REPRINTS: This term covers items printed from the original plates after the official use by the issuing authority had ceased. These items can sometimes be difficult to identify from the genuine issues. The paper used in the reprint is the first point to check. Bank note paper was of special quality and is difficult to obtain today. Many modern reprints have tiny lines printed at random. They are caused by scratches on the plate that would he impossible to remove without ruining the plate. Reprints generally have a grayish color. Many times the only way to identify a reprint is by the paper. All reprints should be marked in a manner that would always identify them as reprints. The use of paper with modern watermarks is the best method to accomplish this. FACSIMILE: Webster's Second Edition has this to say about a facsimile: An exact or detailed copy of anything; a copy made by a process of photography and engraving." Facsimile notes are usually offset printed, the same method that our modern counterfeiters use. Modern graphic arts have improved techniques to the point where it is difficult to tell a copy from the original without close examination. I would like to make the following observations on the legality and ethics regarding reprints and facsimile cop- ies: It is fraud if anyone knowingly sells a reprint or facsimile as a genuine item. If a dealer knowingly ad- vertises a reprint or facsimile in a magazine that requires all items to be genuine, he is guilty of fraud. A reputable dealer will not have unmarked copies for sale. Some collectors are concerned with copies reducing the value of their genuine notes. Remember, a thousand copies do not produce a single genuine note. If copies of a genuine item lowered the value of the genuine, you could buy the "Mona Lisa" for a few cents. A word of caution-when material is priced well below the market, don't jump to the conclusion that the dealer doesn't know what his material is worth. It may be false instead of a bargain. Many reprints are produced by collectors owning plates with no intent to mislead anyone. I personally have a copper plate that I will probably reprint someday, but I will do it in a manner that will prevent dishonest people from selling them as genuine. Some rare reprints are purchased by collectors. just as copies of paintings are purchased and admired. The following reprints and facsimile notes and sheets have been reported to me. Please report any items known to you and not on this list. Remember, all it takes to change a sheet into individual notes is a pair of scissors. The writer will be glad to give his personal opinion on any note or notes at no charge, if you include return postage and insurance. FLA. Tallahassee Railroad Company 1, 1, 2, 3 FACSIMILE GA.

S. currency are gain- ing unprecedented popularity with today's collector. There is no doubt that this enthusiasm will sustain itself as errors are still being made and the supply will not cease until the presses of the Bureau are turned off. Since this is highly unlikely, we error enthusiasts will ever be finding interesting material. Each of us looks for the day when one of the truly spectacular errors comes our way. One such spectacular is shown here and is quite un- usual. The note is entirely normal save for an extra reverse printing on the face of the note. The extra printing is rather pale. which suggests the following cause: Apparently the reverse press was either being warmed up or was running out of ink so a few sheets went through lightly printed. By some quirk of fate, the pressman or an assistant picked up the lightly printed sheets, turned them over and re-fed them through the press. This time the notes were printed normally and continued through the Bureau in their normal sequence. Fortunately, this note escaped the watchful eyes of the inspectors and was shipped to the Dallas Federal Re- serve Bank. Notice that the note is from the D-4 plate position. which is the second from the right in the bottom row of the 32-subject sheet. Consequently, the reverse on the face is from the A-5 position, or the second note from the left in the top row of the reverse plate. If this note had been from any row other than the bottom, a portion of the adjacent reverse also would have shown on the face over the signatures. The only similiar note known to the writer is the face- over-reverse shown in Donlon's catalogue as Error No. 0-2. To this writer's knowledge, reverse-on-face errors have not been reported through normal numismatic channels. This error was shipped to the Valley National Bank in Tucson, Arizona, late in 1965 or early 1966. The brick was opened and packs of 100 notes were shipped to various branch offices about town. Fortunately, the teller who received the pack containing this error was given the job of intersorting the individual notes with circulated notes for distribution to commercial customers rather than simply passing the uncirculated pack directly to a customer. When he found this error, he saved it in perfect condition and later sold it to the writer. ,10` 1111,1 NIT1:11‘.T1'I'l S \\11:101 4:7Ct 5-4.1 TO 1: I NEFF!)

Werner The small-size, $1 silver certificates Series 1928A and 1928B were planned to test the durability of the paper, using the following blocks: An extremely rare and unusual set of three notes from the three groups with very low serial numbers is shown here: 1928B - X0000002213; 1928A - Y00000022B: 1928A - Z00000022B. The provenance of this particular set is fully documented. It begins with Col. Green, from whose estate George Blake acquired the notes. L. S. Werner acquired the set from him and sold it to Dr. C.

Maj. Sheldon S. Carroll has donated two copies of the magazine The Canadian Banker in which he has authored descriptions of the Bank of Canada numismatic collection. The article in the July/August 1969 issue deals primarily with Canadian paper money. Maj. Carroll was also featured recently in a full-color, two-page spread of The Canadian Magazine written by Frank Rasky and entitled "What's All This About a $3 Bill?" The article is a competent review of the paper money collecting hobby with emphasis on Canadiana. Maj. Carroll is shown examining notes at the Bank of Canada; 12 choice Canadian notes are also illustrated. A copy of this magazine. too, is now available from the Library. Charles J. Affleck has sent a package of 25 copies of the excellent, slick-paper publication of the Virginia Numismatic Association, The Virginia Numismatist. A cursory perusal of their contents reveals the following articles of special interest to paper money collectors: Bank of Rockbridge Feb. 66.

They are the scarce five and ten peso notes issued by El Banco Minero of Chihuahua. The reverses are printed in three vertical strips of solid colors of the flag—red, white and green. The white portion is overprinted with an emblem similar to that on the obverse of an eight reales coin minus the legend. but with the liberty cap and rays. Be- cause of limited numbers. they are scarce in any condition and in much demand.

Wait A glance at the $20 note of the Doylestown Bank pictured on Page 113 of Vol. 8, No. 4 of PAPER MONEY arouses suspicions. In the first place, the lettering of "Doylestown" is rather fuzzy. Secondly, the word "Bank" seems out of place. Normally the complete title of a bank is on one line or is placed so that it appears to he an integrated unit. In this instance, "Bank" is on another line and formed with very different styled letters. A review of contemporary counterfeit detectors leaves no doubt that the photographed note was originally that of a closed bank. Clapp, Fuller & Browne's Bank Note Reporter and Counterfeit Detector of 1859 pinpoints it as an altered note of the Tenth Ward Bank of New York City, which closed in 1843. If so, the forger may have received little profit for his labor and risk, for eventually the obligations of that bank were redeemed at 94%, according to D. C. Wismer. However, it is difficult to find supporting data for Mr. Wismer's statement; in fact, 20 Blacksmith 20 DOYLESTOWN B'S Do)- lortowa, )fan,. tern hnr. ses.piongh,troy, BeAtt. ina.11, Witham A large Freak renn V and La. 1.4.1 Ik+1114tr Sy P"-T, tween ti/ heei y pert ; ills Leiter amt tile ikon ils n sharp. 14SL ew“il ec)1Le s DOYLESTOWN B'K D oylestown, Penn. 2 5 2 2 ONE DOTLES:OWN D.14.4'....wa, rietrierstr 1 Ferny tn arri4t 1,0y h t e,t, n■eu, at 1 Fantle Lead w•MMAINIMIN■ mete sad tiaeies.

Since the Doylestown Bank continued to function, it is quite possible that all of its genuine notes were redeemed. Facsimile descriptions of such notes from Hodges "American Bank Note Safe-Guard" of 1865 are presented herewith. Sources of Information on Foreign Paper Money Numismatic Literature is a semiannual survey of cur- rent or newly discovered publications in or related to numismatics, with abstracts of their contents, made avail- able to members of the American Numismatic Society. Significant articles appearing in PAPER MONEY are regu- larly chronicled. Of special interest to collectors of foreign paper money are the references to magazines, catalogs, etc., appearing in other countries or in languages other than English. Very often the short abstracts them- selves are helpful. For example, the December 1969 issue of Numismatic Literature reviewed the Hungarian publication Numiz- matikai Koz L6ny. One article in it dealt with the surcharge of the Austro-Hungarian Bank in Fiume. According to the abstract, the author describes both the official and false "Cittd di Fiume" surcharges on Austro- Hungarian monetary issues. These surcharges were a result of the city of Fiume coming under Italian control after World War I. Perhaps more useful to English-speaking collectors are two studies reviewed from Spink & Sons of London Numismatic Circular. One article, on the first Bulgarian bank notes, appeared in the March and June 1968 issues. The National Bank of Bulgaria, founded in 1879, first issued notes in 1885. They were printed in England. while the second issue, known as "Orlov's hank notes," were printed in St. Petersburg in 1903. The latter are distinguished for multi-colored vignettes printed in one operation. The January 1969 issue of Numismatic Circular con- tained a description of the emergency currency notes of Cyprus in two World Wars. A demand for one and five pound notes arose in the first conflict and was met with local printings until supplies could be obtained from England. During World War II , one and five pound notes of the Palestine Currency Board were borrowed and declared legal tender in Cyprus. On December 2, 1969, Mexico began production of its own paper money at the new printing facility of the Bank of Mexico. A 10 peso note was the first to come from the Koebau-Giori offset presses. The old notes printed by the American Bank Note Co. will continue in circulation until they wear out. It is expected that by 1971 the 5. 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 peso notes will also be produced in Mexico. The one peso notes will be discontinued eventually in favor of cupro-nickel coin.

"altered," or "worthless" upon all fraud- ulent notes issued in the form of and intended to cir- culate as money which shall be presented at their places of business: and if such officers shall wrongfully stamp any genuine note of the United States or of the National banks, they shall, upon presentation, redeem such notes at their face value. 18. All counterfeit notes and coins found in remit- tances are cancelled and delivered to the Secret Service Division of the Treasury Department or to the nearest local office of that division, a receipt for the same being returned to the sender, who may communicate with the Chief of that division if it is desired to have such notes or coins submitted for reclamation. Multi-Language Notes Bi-lingual bank notes are not unusual, but the first Indian notes issued in 1910 are, by virtue of eight lan- guages. The words "ten rupees" and the numeral are repeated in Urdu, Hindi, Oressa, Bengali, Telugi, Tamil. Malyali, and Gugrati. A one guilder note of Austria dated July 7. 1866, went one better with the denomina- tion written in the languages used by Magyars. Czech. Slovaks. Poles, Ruthends, Slovenes, Serbs, Halians. and Rumanians, in addition to the basic German. • • • Very Interesting and Seldom Offered U. S. Paper Money BY L. S.
