Nowak With all the interest in block letter collecting in the small or current size notes, it is only natural that collector interest has developed in the same field in the large size notes. This article delineates the basic information which the author has either observed or had reported to him for the most frequently encountered design, the series 1923 one dollar bills. The series 1923 one dollar hills have three signature combinations in the silver certificate issues and one in the legal tender issues. Notes bearing the signature of Harley V. Speelman as Register of the Treasury and Frank White as Treasurer are the most common in the silver certificates and represent the only signature com- bination known in the legal tender issue of 1923. The other two signature combinations in the silver certificates both have Walter 0. Woods as Register of the Treasury but differ in that one has Frank White as Treasurer while the other has H. T. Tate as Treasurer. Considering first the legal tender issue, Table I pre- sents the data pertinent to the block letter enthusiast. The data should by no means be considered complete but it will be noted that the highest observed serial is close to the total number issued as given by Bureau of Engraving and Printing records.' It is thus doubtful that any other block letter combination exists. The re- verse design on both the legal tender and silver certificate issues appears identical, in fact. judging from the ob- served back plate numbers, the same back plate numbers could be found on both types. The legal tender notes were issued concurrently with the earlier silvers, which accounts for the fact that the highest observed back plate number on the legal tender issue is 1635, while the high- est observed back plate number on the silvers is 5431.

First, the series starts with suffix B. as did the legal tender issue of 1923. Second. the use of the letter C as a suffix has not been reported nor has the use of this letter been observed as a prefix I. Similar state- ments can be made with regard to other letters of the alphabet. Third, combinations with identical prefix and suffix letter have not been observed in this series. An explanation can he supplied, based on observed data, for some of the missing block letter combinations. The use of the letter A as a suffix appears to have been allocated to the $1 1899 silver certificates. Similarly, in the legal tender issues, suffix .A was also allocated to the preceding series. Combinations with identical pre- fix and suffix letter can be found in the 1899 silvers, which probably accounts for their absence in the 1923 issues. The reason why the letters C, F, G. I, J, L, 0, P. Q, S. U, and W were not used is known only to the BEP unless their rejection was prompted by a fear of confusing these letters with other alphabetical or numeri- cal characters. It is interesting that the block letter combination UU is known in the 1899 silvers, although the use of the letter U has not been otherwise observed in either the 1899 or 1923 silver certificates. Star serials in the series 1923 silvers are known only with suffix D. Suffix B star serials were used in the preceding series. Also, star notes in the 1923 legals are with suffix D, while the preceding series of legals had suffix B star serials. Star serials with suffix A have not been observed, probably because at the time of introduc- tion of star serials or replacement notes suffix A was be- ing used with the regular block letter combinations. Thus a decision may have been made within the BEP to use a different suffix with star notes. If this was the case then, obviously this ruling did not apply by the time of the issuance of the 1923 series since both regular and star notes can be found with suffix D in the silver certificates. 11110111.401451421ANFAMMS, x912759"20 PACE 4 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 37 All of the block letter combinations within the silver certificate issue bearing the signatures of Speelman and White appear to be of approximately equal profuseness with perhaps the exception of the last couple of combina- tions and the star serial. The last half dozen of regular combinations should be scarcer than the preceding com- binations because a portion of the latter combinations was, as can be seen from Tables II , III. and IV. devoted to one or both of the other two signature combinations. However this does not appear to be the case (except with perhaps combination BE I, probably because these were the last large size notes printed and thus were the most likely to have been saved. The combination BE is somewhat difficult to locate and star serials bearing the Speelman-White signatures presently realize about three times that of a regular combination. Only seven block letter combinations are known with the Woods-White signatures. The block letter combina- tion VD is elusive, as is the star note which realizes three to four times that of a regular combination with the same signatures. Four block letter combinations can be found with the Woods-Tate signatures. Since this set of signatures is relatively scarce compared to the other two, only a few of these notes have been ob- served by the author, and it is difficult to ascertain whether any of the three regular combinations are scarcer than the others. Only one star serial has been reported with the Woods-Tate signatures and that in circulated condition; i.e., they are rare. Various change-over pairs are known between notes having the Speelman-White signatures and those with the Woods-White signatures. Included in the famous Grinnell sale were several such change-over pairs includ- ing two lots, each of which contained three consecutive cut sheets of four with the central sheet hearing one set of signatures while the outside sheets had a different set.2 However, the author has not heard of any change- over pairs involving star serials or the Woods-Tate sig- natures. The number of unusual and/or fancy serial numbers available to the collector in this series is almost unlimited. Serial number 100000000 was issued, at least in some cases, as such a note was offered in the aforementioned Grinnell sale.' No notes are known with the first digit of the serial being zero. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing gives the total number of notes of the $1 1923 silvers issued as 2,659,996,000. No breakdown has been found for the various signature combinations. However, working from the data in Tables II, III. and IV, there are two possible methods of estimating the relative amounts of each sig- nature combination issued. Both methods require cer- tain assumptions. and those assumptions are not without inherent error. The first method utilizes the known block letter com- binations and assumes that in those cases where more than one signature combination exists within the block, there is an equal proportion of each signature combina- tion. Accepting the BEP number of 2,659,996,000 notes issued, Table V, column A, presents the relative quan- Six consecutive $1 1923 silver certificates with the first three bearing the signatures of Woods and White, while the last three have the signatures of Speehnan and -White. From the collection of James N. Gates. Cities of each signature combination. The second method, which the author believes to be superior, utilizes the highest observed face plate number for each signature combination. The sum of the present highest known face plate numbers is 18303 + 763 + 16) 9082. The quantity of each signature combination issued is then computed by dividing the highest known face plate num- ber of each signature combination by the sum of the highs and multiplying by the BEP figure of 2,659,996,000. The results are presented in Table V, column B. Col- umns A and B of Table V are, percentage-wise, reason- ably close with the exception of the figures for the Woods-Tate signatures. Column A indicates the Woods- Tate signatures to be less than three times as scarce as the Woods-White signatures—a hit unrealistic in light of the observed relative frequency of these notes on the numismatic market. Hence the figures in column B of Table V appear more realistic.

Haddock Every paper money collector and dealer should work for a uniform currency grading system. To this end, I applaud "The Grading Game" articles by Guy A. Cruse. Let us keep this uniform grading system for paper money drive alive until we have one. Our grading system must be simple (easy for everyone to understand(. Personally, I would favor following the same categories as used in coin grading. I would favor this system only because it is well-known arid could lead to uniform use and description. In other words. I be- lieve we should use these specific designations: CU crisp uncirculated AU almost uncirculated EF extremely fine VF very fine F fine VG very good G good Variances in the grades should not, in my opinion. be designated by use of decimals or percentages. This introduces an additional criteria for misinterpretation. Instead we should describe variance from the grade as reliable dealers or collectors of coins do. Since any CU coin or bill is always a gem. no knowledgeable person would designate a new bill as a gem. Examples of vari- ances which could occur to a CU bill are many and could be: badly centered obverse or reverse; light strike I print- ing noticeably light) ; or any other change from an otherwise perfectly printed note that would not place it in the error class. The AU note should be one with a very light crease. teller's thumb crease, or slightest wear on any corner or edge of note. The other categories would be defined and described in the fashion of the above examples. Since we all will have certain ideas for grading. you don't really need or want my specific criteria. What you do want is a system which you and I will understand and interpret alike. Since we want such a system, and it is needed, perhaps society officials could appoint a GRAD- ING COMMITTEE and charge it with the responsibility of setting up this system for us? Each of us who care could then give this GRADING COMMITTEE the benefit of our ideas. This could result in a system which would best serve us all. So while we extend our appreciation to Guy A. Cruse. let us not lose the important message he has so ably given us. Let us develop a grading system for currency collectors. British Philatelic Firms Plunge Into Paper Money Business The major overhaul of British currency caused by the adoption of the decimal system has sparked great public interest in the paper money used in Britain. That factor, plus growing numismatic interest in the paper branch of the hobby, seems to be the reason for the invasion of the numismatic field by some of the biggest in names in British philately. Heading the list is the century-old Stanley Gibbons firm of stamp dealers and catalog publishers. Gibbons. the first philatelic firm to sell stock to the public, formed a subsidiary company. Stanley Gibbons Currency Ltd. in October 1970. Capitalized at five thousand pounds in one pound shares, it is directed by A. L. Michael, Managing Director of the parent group; Colin Narbeth. former editor of Stamp Weekly and the International Bank Note Society magazine; and David Whatley. Chief Accountant. Showrooms of the new company are at Romano House. 399 Strand, the location of the Gibbons specialist and rare stamps department. The first publication is a paperback catalog authored by Mr. Narbeth. Entitled Collect British Banknotes and priced at 25 np., it is similar in format to Collect British Stamps, which has sold over a half million copies. Released at the same time was a special album for use by adherents to what Gibbons calls "Notaphily" (a word contrived from Latin and Greek meaning "love of notes"). Just before these developments were announced, 20% of Gibbons' stock was acquired by the Crown Agents for Overseas Governments and Administrations. The Crown Agents are well known in philately for their work in pro- curing and selling stamp issues for British nations over the past century. Their Stamp Bulletin will be changed in 1971 to the Stamp-Coin-Currency Notes-Medallions Bulletin, signifying the broadened scope of their opera- tions. While philately moves closer to numismatics in the Gibbons-Crown Agents deals, numismatics is moving into the stamp world. The old-line coin firm of Spink & Son has initiated a new issue service and plans to offer other issues of the past 40 years. eventually stocking all stamps, classic to contemporary. In recent years the firm has promoted new coin issues from Commonwealth and other nations. With the new philatelic department, it may well do similar stamp promotions in the manner of several American philatelic firms. ©- ort5 piy Hvg re ONE DOLLAR C (77)4 .-":2JA7 - ,./.7 .

Scrip of The McNeal Coal Company of Pennsylvania By Dudley W. Atwood As you may remember, numerous articles have been written regarding the scrip issued by the McNeal Coal Company in the 1860's. There has been much discussion about its location—West Virginia, Georgia or Pennsyl- vania. The information given here will. I think, prove that the McNeal Coal Company was definitely located in Pennsylvania. There are some differences in the spelling of the name of the company, but they all refer to one and the same company. On page 146 of the report of the Inspector of Mines, Schuylkill County of Pennsylvania for 1869 the following entry for No. 102 M'Neil's Colliery as inspected Novem- ber, 5, 1869 reads: "Description.—This Colliery is located two miles east of St. Nicholas station on the Ashland and Mahanoy railroad, and midway between Shenandoah City and Mahanoy City, on the estate of M'Neil coal company, (Continued on Page 22) WANTED OBSOLETE PAPER MONEY (Bank Notes, Script, Warrants, Drafts) of the AMERICAN WEST Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Mon- tana, New Mexico, Colorado: Dakota, Deseret, Indian.

Owen Warns Peter Huntoon Louis Van Belkum When a treatise covering the National Bank Note Issues of the 1929 Series was first conceived, the authors decided that the work should be a study on all phases of the series. To that end, they remain dedicated. The original task of compiling information from the mass of available material was monumental. It took months to sift and examine the data and put in publishable form. Finally, in 1970 our efforts eulminated in THE NATIONAL BANK NOTE ISSUES OF 1929-1935. This book was sponsored by the Society of Paper Money Collectors, and many of the Society's members generously sent us needed and helpful information. It is the desire of the authors to continue to ferret out and check new datum as it comes to light. This information will be passed on to the members in periodic supplements that will appear in PAPER MONEY. In this, the initial supplement, will be found a listing of those notes and sheets reported after the original manuscript was prepared. Since the book was placed on sale last August, interest in the 1929 National Bank Notes has increased markedly, and the authors have been deluged with new infor- mation. Subsequent supplements will deal with 1) previously unreported notes and sheets, many of which are still in the hands of collectors, dealers and in bank vaults, 2) interesting bank titles, numbers, type-sets and printing variations, 3) corrections and revisions to the book itself. Those members who assist in the encouragement and preparation of these supplements will have their efforts appropriately acknowledged in the supplement in which they contribute.

Where, Oh Where Are They By Louis Van Belkum National Bank Notes on all but one of the Territories have turned up throughout the years. But to date, not a single territorial note on Idaho Territory has come to light. There were eight banks in Idaho Territory that issued notes bearing the designation "Idaho Territory." The following table gives the banks that did issue such notes. Also listed are the types, denominations, and amounts of notes issued by these banks: Charter Denominations Amount Number City Type of Note Issued Issued 1668 Boise City F.C., Original Series 1,2I,s5s,u1e0, 20 $191,500. 1668 Boise City F.C., Series of 1875 1,2,5,10,20 120,400. 10,1668 Boise City S.C., Brown Backs 35,500. 2972 Lewiston S.C., Brown Backs 10,20 28,000. 1023 Lewiston S.C., Brown Backs 10,20 30,250. 3142 Ketchum S.C., Brown Backs 5 29,380. 3408 Moscow S.C., Brown Backs 5 50,000. 3471 Boise City S.C., Brown Backs 10,20 20,500. 3895 Halley S.C., Brown Backs 5 30,500. 4023 Pocatello S.C., Brown Backs 5 16,000.

Cooper A CLOSE-UP EXAMINATION OF THE $5 NOTE ISSUED BY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DURING THE ZENITH OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND THE STORY IT TELLS WHEN DISSECTED AND RELATED TO THE PAGES OF HISTORY. State of North Carolina S5 note with steamship vignette This note is catalogued as Bradbeer No. 87 or Criswell No. 87, although both cataloguers erroneously indicate an issue date of July 1. 1862, rather than January 1, 1863. It is identical to a companion note (Criswell No. 124) as it came off the printing press and differs only in a red overprint added later which describes the fund- ing of these notes. The note "under the magnifying glass" has a straight, two-line overprint reading FUND- ABLE IN SIX PER CENT. COUPON BONDS ON OR AFTER JAN'Y 1, 1866 BY ACT OF DEC. 20, 1862. The companion note (Criswell No. 124) has an oval over- print reading FUNDABLE ONLY IN SIX PER CENT. COUPON BONDS plus an earlier issuing date of July 1, 1862. This immediately excites the curiosity as to the reason for the same note being released with different over- prints. Lacking positive historical proof we can by close examination deduce the reasons plus uncover some in- teresting related numismatic history. The North Caro- lina legislative Act of December 1, 1861, authorized the issuance of three million dollars in state currency. The act further provided that these notes be redeemed on or before January 1, 1865, in 6% interest state bonds. The firm of Jules Manouvrier in New Orleans was im- mediately secured to engrave and print these notes. Manouvrier, who recently lost their paper money print- ing contract with the Confederate government, diligently went to work at the task. Deliveries of printed notes were apparently made in batches as they came off the press, which accounts for the several written issue dates of January 1, February 15, and March 1, 1862. During the month of February 1862 economic conditions forced the interest rate from 6% to 8%, and the notes dated March 1, 1862 reflect this change. On April 24, 1862, New Orleans was captured by Federal forces, and this apparently ended the currency printing activity of Jules Manouvrier. However, during this same month the firm of J. T. Paterson & Company was born under the aegis of the Confederate government to engrave and print paper money, bonds, and postage stamps; they located their plant at Columbia, South Carolina. Paterson obviously became immediately involved in picking up where Man- ouvrier had ended. It has never been known why J. T. Paterson, who had purchased much of the equipment and lithographic stones of Hoyer & Ludwig, Richmond, had, after establishing his shop in Columbia at the re- quest of the Confederate government, so quickly also had a shop in Augusta, Georgia. Perhaps this was be- cause of labor supply, but other factors could have been involved. Comparison and use of certain vignettes and lithographic stones show that he apparently worked with or purchased equipment from Douglas of New Orleans and Howell of Savannah, both of whom were engaged in currency printing. For example, the state of Georgia issued a $2 note on the same date as this North Carolina note, January 1, 1863, with the identical "steamship at sea" vignette. The Georgia note is imprinted "Howell, Engraver"; note that this is engraver and not necessarily printer. Perhaps this was the reason Paterson so quickly located within the state of Georgia, to print their currency in conjunc- tion with Robert Howell. As an example of the possible relationship with engraver Douglas of New Orleans, cer- tain fractional notes of The Mississippi Central Railroad Company, dated January 1, 1862, were engraved by Douglas. Subsequently after the fall of New Orleans. some of these notes were reissued January 1, 1863, under the J. T. Paterson & Co. imprint with the only engrav- ing change being a crude revision of the date 1862 to 1863, indicating that the original stones were reused. An interesting relationship with Manouvrier is deduced from the fact that during the year 1862 Jules Manouvrier had a partner, a John Bachler. If we look at our North Carolina note, again "under the magnifying glass," we E 0.

The second note produced for North Carolina by the Paterson Company was the companion note (Criswell No. 124) to the note "under the magnifying glass" and was released with the oval overprint which altered only the interest rate on the bonds. Thus, this $5 "steamship at sea" note was actually produced for the December 1, 1861 act, hence, no need of the BY ACT OF DEC. 20, 1862 in the overprint. The need for more funds to finance the war prompted the North Carolina legislature on December 20, 1862, to authorize another issue of currency. This time the cur- rency was not to be fundable until after January 1, 1866, and in 6% state bonds. To expedite the release of this issue we can speculate that an additional supply of this $5 note was immediately printed and the two-line over- print put on to modify the lithographed funding informa- tion. Further, the note was trimmed very close to re- move the statement about 8% bonds printed along the edge. and the date 1865 modified by pen to read 1866. The note was ready for circulation probably within ten days. Next, the impressive central vignette comes under the scan of the magnifying glass and pages of history. Was this "steamship at sea" merely the artistic fancy of the engraver or does it bear some historical significance? This style of vignette did find precedence on a number of pre-Civil War bank notes; for example, a $5 note of the Cochituate Bank (Massachusetts), a $10 Citizens Bank of Louisiana (the famous Dix note), and others. Or, could it have been copied by the engraver from an- other source such as a popular lithograph print from the presses of popular Currier and Ives? A print titled "Royal Mail Steam Ship Asia," produced by Nathan Currier in 1851, bears a strong resemblance. And these widely circulated prints had been copied before, such as the Currier and Ives "Express Train" which became the central vignette used by Hoyer & Ludwig on the Con- federate $100 interest note of 1862. Or was it more original, such as a tribute to Con- federate achievement at sea with their deadly commerce raiders and defiant swift blockade runners? If so, did it honor a specific vessel or accomplishment or was it just allegorical? The Confederate government in Rich- mond issued a $1 note, dated June 2, 1862, which was produced by Blanton Duncan in Columbia, South Caro- lina, and had an almost identical vignette. The $5 North Carolina note was being prepared at this same time in history, which could pinpoint the date for the vessel be- ing honored. The pages of history do reveal that on March 17, 1862. the steamship CSS Nashville ran the blockade of Federal sailing vessels out of Beaufort, North Carolina, and soon became the first naval vessel flying the Confederate flag in English waters. In the North this was recorded as the "Bull Run of the U. S. Navy." The silhouette of the CSS Nashville. with a little artistic license, very closely approximates that used on this note, and considering WHOLE NO. 37 Paper Money PAGE 15 time and communication could have been as faithful a reproduction as possible. Thus, with this chain of logic we could assume with some degree of reliability this "steamship at sea" to be the Confederate Navy vessel Nashville. In conclusion, with an examination "under the mag- nifying glass," reviewing the pages of history and the application of common logic, we can know a lot more about this simple bit of currency. A National Bank Celebrates 107 Years of Service The First National Bank of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin recently published a supplement to the local newspaper, the Daily Jefferson County Union, on the occasion of the opening of newly remodeled facilities. It included a capsule history so similar to the experiences of other such institutions that it is reprinted here for its numis- matic interest: "The First National was organized, not merely because its founders were looking for a way to get rich, but be- cause the people and the community desperately needed a bank . . . they needed a railroad . . . they needed homes and business buildings and new industry. The First National has been walking arm-in-arm with the needs of the community ever since. "On October 8, 1863, a handful of grim-faced men sat in a law office on North Main Street facing Fort Atkinson's first major crisis. The War Between the States was three years old. While fortunes of the North had taken a turn for the better in mid-summer, the new spirit of optimism was tempered with the grave knowl- edge that, even though victory might be in sight at last, who could be optimistic about the future of a country ravished, impoverished and torn asunder by a terrible conflict which had sometimes set brother against brother, and even father against son. "But before they went home that night, these men made what was to be one of the first decisions which would mould the destiny of tiny Fort Atkinson: They subscribed $50,000—an almost fabulous sum of money in those days—to finance a bank in the small village, and they became one of the first 50 banks in the country to petition the Comptroller of the Currency for a na- tional bank charter. "Thus was Fort Atkinson's First National Bank founded on faith, a faith which has prevailed over a century of dramatic development. It was a proud day for Fort Atkinson when the First National Bank received its na- tional charter in 1863. On January 4, 1864, its doors swung open for business, and the doors have been open every business day since that time, with the exception of the brief Bank Holiday in 1933." The commemorative supplement also reproduces the quarterly report of October 3, 1864, and contrasts it with the present statement. The 1864 report records $152,868.40 in total resources, of which $44,317.80 represented local loans. In the liability column, deposits of $29,605.26 were indicated. U. S. bonds deposited with the Treasurer amounted to $58.000, and similar bonds on hand totaled $9.000. The latest statement shows total resources of $16,864,423.19. of which $6.- 760,941.20 are loans, $1.652.233.75 are U. S. government obligations. $2,762,581.00 Federal Agency obligations, $3.344,401.35 state and political subdivision obligations. and $18.000 in Federal Reserve stock. Total deposits of $15,101,318.91 are shown in the liabilities column. A $5 note of the second charter period is shown along with a photo of a $1 note on the Koshkonong Bank, the first bank in the area. The accompanying text reads: "Fort Atkinson 'made its own money' as early as 1850. and as late as 1929. The one dollar bill was issued by The Koshkonong Bank. first bank in this area. It is more than adequately illustrated with an etching of somebody in curls. another of a couple of gents sitting beside a patriotic shield and still another of an Indian couple with a papoose gathering wild rice from a canoe on Lake Koshkonong. The extra fancy script assures us that 'The Koshkonong Bank on demand will pay one dollar to bearer at Fort Atkinson. secured by the pledge of public stocks. Countersigned and registered in the Comptroller's Office January 15th. 1859.' "To get real money for one of these bills issued by the early banks, you had to present it at the bank of issue. This was sometimes quite a trick, since many unscrupulous banks had a 'main office' at some mys- terious. hard-to-find location. Even earlier (1841-18531 banks had such a bad reputation that the Wisconsin legislature passed a law banning all banks and bankers! "The reputation of banks and bankers began to change slowly with the passage of the National Bank Act in 1863. and the creation of a sound national currency. backed by solid federal bonds instead of shaky 'public stocks.' Unfortunately, the system was slow in getting started because many northern banks owned bonds on southern state treasuries and couldn't cash them because of the Civil War then in progress. The loss of the war by the south, ironically enough. 'broke' many a northern bank. including The Koshkonong Bank, then removed from Fort Atkinson to Jefferson."

Burgett has submitted the following cor- rections to two unfortunate errors that crept into the list- ing of Kansas obsolete notes he authored along with James F. Lindsay for PAPER MONEY No. 36: Page 135: Ft. Leavenworth; Merchants Bank. The third line should read: "The first three digits of the year date are printed."

PACE 16 Paper Money WHOLE NO 37 National Currency, Series 1929 Why No. 1 Sheets Are Not Too Rare By Wm. A. Philpott, Jr. A rather well-informed young collector of U. S. paper currency, at the recent American Numismatic Association convention in St. Louis, posed this query: Uncut sheets, National Currency, series 1929, exist today in good sup- ply; a vast majority of these are the No. 1 sheets of the issuing banks; why is this so? The answer is well-known to oldsters among us who lived during the early 1930's. George H. Blake, 12 Highland Avenue, Jersey City, N. J., was a true "dean" of paper money fanciers. He called himself a "collector of paper money," and he au- thored the first listing of U. S. currency in a 1908 booklet entitled United States Paper Money. Mr. Blake was gracious toward young collectors. I credit him with incit- ing my early enthusiasm for U. S. paper currency. Be- sides being a seasoned collector and authority, he was thoroughly versed in selling the specimens which accumu- lated. The comparative proximity of his home to Washington, D C., and his friendships in the Treasury Department, particularly in the Redemption Bureau and the Comptrol- ler's offices, gave Mr. Blake the "inside track" for many years with accent on his governmental activities in the years 1927 to 1936. During this period the small size notes were replacing the old size, large ones. Hardly a pleasant day would the venerable numismatist be missing from his usual rounds at the Redemption Department or in the offices of the Comptroller of the Currency. During these years the fabled Col. E. H. R. Green (Hetty Green's son) was buying everything, numismati- tally speaking, that was offered. Anybody could sell him any item he did not already own. But he did not purchase duplicates no matter what. George Blake, widely known as he was in our hobby (more then twenty-five years Treasurer of the A.N.A.) found Col. Green a "soft sell" on the small size National Currency, series 1929, soon to be issued by the fourteen thousand-odd national banks. Avoiding duplicates, Mr. Blake suggested that the No. one, uncut, six-subject sheets could he made a fascinating project. Col. Green agreed. Accordingly, Mr. Blake, through his Treasury Depart- ment connections, was notified promptly when any and all banks ordered a circulation of the new size currency. By the time a bank had its currency application approved, the particular bank's officials had a letter from George H. Blake, in far away Jersey City, N. J. True, it was a form letter, with the bank's title, town or city filled in, but signed personally by Mr. Blake. The letter was ad- dressed, "Gentlemen," and went on to say: "From this letterhead you will note I am a collector of United States paper currency for historical, numismatic, and educational purposes. I am desirous of purchasing the Mr. Win. A. Philpott, Jr., one of the most respected "old- timers" in the paper money collecting hobby. No. 1, uncut sheets of your new, small sized National Bank notes when and as issued. For such I will pay the follow- ing premium prices : Sheet of $5, No. 1, containing 6 notes $ 37.50 Sheet of $10, No. 1, containing 6 notes 66.00 Sheet of $20, No. 1, containing 6 notes 125.00 Total $228.50 Payment for these would be made always in advance. Please advise if you will oblige me in this matter." While this "premium" only amounted to $18.50 above face value of the eighteen notes, many a bank cashier (and president) sold Mr. Blake their No. 1, uncut sheets. It was in the depression years, the new notes (shabby, compared to the beautiful, old large ones) would never amount to much—so, national banks by the scores sent Mr. Blake their No. 1, uncut sheets. What did Mr. Blake do with these uncut sheets? As fast as they were received he delivered them to Col. Green. Cost to the latter (Mr. Blake told me, himself 1 : $5's-$50; the $10's-$80; and the $20's-$145, per sheet. There, young questioner, you have the reason uncut sheets, series of 1929, serials Nos. 1, are rather in abun- dant supply for the few collectors who seem interested. Mr. Blake bought both types of this series for Col. Green. However, Mr. Blake did not offer to purchase the $50 and WHOLE NO. 37 Paper Money PAGE 17 $100 sheets. Few banks in the depression years ordered the higher denominations. And the new size currency looked cheap, compared with the large size notes of the yesteryears. When Col. Green's estate was administered, there was little interest among coin collectors in these sheets. A few of us borrowed money and bought, at 15% above face, as many sheets as we could afford. A few months later the large remainder of this sheet-hoard was turned into the Federal Reserve Bank, New York. at face value. The New York Bank segregated the sheets according to the 12 Districts. Each of the other 11 Banks received a list of sheets from banks in the respective Districts offering the sheets at face for the 11 Banks to distribute "as a public relation act" to the national banks of issue who originally sold them to Mr. Blake. When the Dallas Bank received a list of the 11th District sheets and the New York Bank's suggestion of a "good will" gesture, this letter was re- ferred to me, saying I could have any or all of the Texas No. 1 sheets at face value. If I did not want them, the Dallas Bank would write to New York to dispose of the notes elsewhere, as there was small interest in Texas. Again, I heaved a sigh, signed another large note or two at my bank, and rescued another score or so of uncut Texas sheets. I learned later that the remainder of sheets from the 11th District were eventually sent to the Treas- ury for redemption. Actual money was in the Treasury Department for the redemption of all National Currency, including the Federal Reserve Bank notes, series 1929. Observations on Kansas Obsolete Notes By James F. Lindsay (Editors's Note: Mr. Lindsay, a native of Topeka, Kansas, where his father was assistant State Attorney General for many years, has collected his native state's obsolete paper money since 1958 and collaborated with Maurice Burgett on the compilation of the Wismer list revision. He has offered the following observations about some of the notes listed therein.) Englehard & Fairchild Co. of Hiawatha—This probably IA as a concern of plumbing contractors. A granddaughter and a 40-year-old great-grandson of the Fairchild family are still living. It is said that they possess 28 one-dollar notes on about five sheets, the largest of which consists of seven notes. The only other copy of the $1 plain back is in the Newman collection. Pipher & Co.—This firm probably consisted of John, John W. and George Pipher. It sold groceries. drygoods, lumber and hardware. It was the agent for Ayer's and Moffatt's patent medicines, also. Lappin & Scrafford—A Frank Strafford, listed as a clothing agent, may have been connected with this Seneca firm. Sumner Company—This was a town company which organized, promoted and sold town lots, etc. The notes seem to have been 60-day, non-interest bearing type. The town was located just south of Atchison and is no longer in existence. Congreve Printing Booklet Available By Larry Adams Harris, Elizabeth M. SIR WILLIAM CONGREVE AND HIS COMPOUND-PLATE PRINTING (1967) 40c. Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Of- fice, Washington, D. C. 20402. The student and researcher of paper money and its printing process will find this interesting booklet a wel- come addition to his library. Well-written and illustrated with color plates, Sir William Congreve's system of Com- pound-Plate Printing is told in an interesting style. Quoted from the introduction is this paragraph. "The Chronic problem of counterfeit bank notes in England in the early 19th century led the Bank of England to sponsor a public competition for a print- ing process that would deter forgers. Among those answering the appeal w as Sir William Congreve, a colorful and controversial figure, who was a gov- ernor of the Bank and an engineer by profession. During his temporary excursion into the printing trade he developed a process which he felt could not be imitated. This became known as 'compound- plate printing.' The process was never accepted by the Bank, but it was used for many years with suc- cess by one of London's private printing firms and by Somerset House, a government office." This is another of those obscure government publica- tions that unfortunately often escape public attention. It was prepared under the sponsorship of the Smithsonian Institution. Sam Sloat, Inc. Acquires Tom's Currency Albums Sam Sloat, Inc. of Westport, Conn. has announced the acquisition of the Tom's Currency Album line of supplies as the latest addition to its expanding program in the field of numismatics. Originated by Thomas B. Ross, long-time paper money enthusiast of Norwalk, Conn., and introduced in 1961, Tom's Currency Album has proven very popular with col- lectors over the years. The need for a real album to house paper money has grown greatly with the increased activity in the paper money field during recent years. Offering the only album specifically designed to organ- ize, house and protect the various issues, it contrasts sharply with other "stock book" types of albums currently available. Collectors and dealers may place orders or request further information from Tom's Currency Album Division, Sam Sloat, Inc., 136 Main St., Westport, Conn. 06880. //A ./7 /14 //4/1 ft 947;4 ' ///7/./,/ ir,w(//// //V ' „,;(:,,,„,;;,/ MONTANA, BOONE COUNTY, IOWA.

The two documents shown here are among a few of what remain which bear that name. The town was originally called Boone, platted in 1865, and named for Captain Nathan Boone, son of Daniel Boone. Captain Boone marched through this area in 1835 while on an expedition. On May 7, 1866, all this district that was called Boone was incorporated under the name Montana. Thus that name came into being and remained so until 1871, when a petition was signed and filed with the circuit court asking that the name of the settlement be changed from Montana to Boone. This petition was successful and the settlement was incorporated as a city. The town is still called Boone today! The reason for the name change to Montana still remains a mystery. The $500 bond issued by the Independent School Dis- trict of Montana was signed by A. K. Welles (on the left), a pioneer Boone Banker and then treasurer of the School District. He opened a private bank there in 1867, which was later called the Boone County Bank of A. K. Welles. The interesting rubber stamp mark on the upper right shows that the bond was paid off at the Boone County Bank of A. K. Welles on March 1. 1874. Vincent Woods & Co. issued the certificate of deposit dated April 11, 1871. They were a private banking firm. This is the only document I have seen on this bank, and I have not found any record as to when it first opened. WHOLE NO. 37 Paper Money PAGE 19 This was one of the later items bearing the Montana name, since 1871 was the year of the name change back to Boone. Note the vertical writing to the right of the vignette and through the signature. "One Thousand Dol- Lars" was written in both words and figures a second time in these places. This was an early method of safe- guarding checks and similar documents against altera- tion. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht: German Reichsbank President, 1923-30, 1933-39 By Richard Banyai Ten reichsmark note of the Reichsbank. The first full signature under REICHSBANKDH-LEK- TORIUM is HJALMAR SCHACHT. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, who received his Ph.D. in politi- cal economy, had a varied career in German banking from 1903 to 1923 before his official appointment to the Reichs- bank as its President. He was responsible for the intro- duction of the rentenmark in November of 1923, which was one of the important stabilization measures to halt the spiraling inflation of that time in Germany. In December of 1923, Dr. Schacht was appointed Pre- sident of the Reichsbank, the German central bank. He held this position until his resignation in March of 1930. The period from 1930 to 1932 was one of semi-retirement for Dr. Schacht, as he toured a number of countries and lectured in the United States. When the Nationalist Socialists came to power with Hitler as leader, Dr. Schacht was again appointed President of the Reichsbank England Substitutes Weighty Coin for Bank Note Recent visitors to Britain may have noticed that the once prevalent ten shilling notes have disappeared from circulation to be replaced by the decimal system 50 new pence coin. The notes, issued between 1961 and 1969, were called in Nov. 20, 1970, and are no longer legal tender. The logic of this move escapes visitors from other countries, since it substitutes weighty coins for a convenient note, seemingly a step backward in mone- tary development. That would be like withdrawing all one dollar bills in favor of the new Eisenhower dollar. in March of 1933. He was chose for this important posi- tion once more because of his keen knowledge of economics and money and also because of his part in the 1923 stabilization of the German mark. He held this posi- tion until his dismissal by Hitler in January of 1939. His dismissal was a political one based upon the conflict between Dr. Schacht's "conservative" monetary policies and the rather "extravagant" monetary policies of the Nazis which had developed in the late 1930's. He was dis- missed by a direct order from Hitler. For a more detailed study of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, refer to the article, "Dr. Hjalmar Schacht: Central Banker and Financial Wizard," which appeared in the Whitman. Numismatic Journal, December 1968, Volume 5, No. 12. pages 696-710. The only beneficiaries of such a move would be pants pocket manufacturers! Swedish 1804 Note Mr. Ernst Nathorst-BOOs of the Svenska Handels- banken, Stockholm, has corrected an error that appeared in PAPER MONEY No. 35. Page 107. The Swedish note of 1804 with a value of 14 skilling (not shilling) in cop- per does not depict a nativity scene and star of Bethlehem within the colorless embossed seal at the top. Rather, the scene depicts the pole-star surmounting a rectangle, with symbols for commerce and sea trade between two horns of plenty. No Christian or other religious symbols appear on any Swedish bank note. PAGE 20 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 37 The Card System of Record Keeping By Howard W. Parshall Have you considered the advantages of a card system for recording information about your paper money col- lection? After experimenting with lists, notebooks, and charts, I have found the card system simple, flexible, and most efficient. An index card can be filed by types of notes, sig- nature varieties, denomination, and catalog number, to suggest a few examples. All pertinent information about the note may be viewed at once. Every identifying feature of the note can be recorded on one side of the card. Also, date of purchase, seller, and cost, plus date of sale (or trade), buyer, price, and profit or loss may be included. This latter feature provides an instant and accurate inventory whenever needed. The card may be removed and replaced in the file as it suits the collector's purposes. Index cards fit easily into one's pocket or purse for reference when needed. These cards should be kept in a separate place from the collection. In this way identifying data on each note will be available if the collection is lost or stolen. One of the nicest features about the card system is the ease with which it can be kept up to date. If a note is sold or traded, the card can be pulled and the facts recorded. It may then be kept and filed separately. Thus, if a question arises regarding a note no longer in the collector's possession, a quick reference will provide the needed information. When a note is added to the collection, one needs only a moment to record the perti- nent information. A single card form can adequately serve to record several types of notes. Information on United States Notes, Silver Certificates, Federal Reserve Notes, Federal Reserve Bank Notes, and Gold Certificates can be re- corded on one card. The type of information needed on National Bank notes requires a separate card. The all-purpose card for most United States currency and the single purpose card for the Nationals illustrate the flexibility of the system. The collector of fractional, obsolete, Confederate, foreign, and other types of cur- rency can, in a few moments, develop a card system to suit his personal interests and needs. Cards of different colors might be used to classify types of notes. For example, the collector of current size notes might use red or pink cards for United States Notes, blue for Silver Certificates, green for Federal Reserve Notes, and so on. The card color would corre- spond with the seal color for each type. (Note : Dramatic proof of the value of Dr. Parshall's card system was furnished the morning of Sept. 16, 1970, when the following National Bank Notes were stolen from his home. His card file kept separately yielded the following descriptions. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of these notes, please contact Dr. Parshall at P. 0. Box 191, Pineville, La. 71360.)

Romanoff Jubilee Currency Stamps Made in Germany "Made in Germany" issue. terAe- eie kapasmt Ca 611ompeTOIrb CO- 11841140AMOIM. TW. • Mater), xe*Ae- mie mapaext rpaaeloomen .6- Manalea apaci• mteli 20 kop.inscribed:–"Having circulation on a level with bankrupt silver coin." "Se–Tenant" pair. 15 kop.inscribed:–"Having circu- lation on a level with plunder deceit by the rulers." In 1923, in one of his occasional visits to the stamp shop of one Mr. Oscar Riep, Berlin, Germany, Mr. N. I. Kardakoff's attention was attracted by the "se-tenant" pair of 15 kop. plus 20 kop. of the Romanoff Jubilee postage stamps. Knowing that these stamps were issued in individual sheets for each denomination, he closely examined the pair, and, to his astonishment, found out that it consisted of Romanoff Jubilee currency stamps with an unusual degrading inscription on the back of each. The inscription on the 15 kop. stamp reads: "IMEET KHOZHDENIE NARA VNE S GRABEZHOM OBMANOM PRA VITELEIY" (having circulation on level with plunder deceit the rulers), and on the 20 kop. stamp: "IMEET KHOZHDENIE NARA VNE S BANK- ROTOM SEREBRIANOIY MONETY" (having circula- tion on level with bankrupt silver coin). Mr. Oscar Riep explained to him that these stamps were acquired, mostly in whole sheets, from Russian Prisoners- of-War in 1918-1919, when they were repatriated back into Russia, according to the Brest-Litovsky Peace Treaty (March 1918) between Germany and the Russian Bol- sheviks' government. By the order of the German authorities, the reichsmarks in the prisoners' possession were exchanged into Russian paper money, among which were these Romanoff currency stamps. Mr. 0. Riep further explained that these stamps were printed in sheets of 100 stamps of each, the right half of each sheet with 15 kop. and the left one with 20 kop. He had good supply of them at that time, buying stamps directly from Russian prisoners, but now in 1923, when Mr. Kardakoff visited his shop, it had dwindled down to a mere strip of four (20+20+15+15) and a few singles of both de- nominations. Mr. Kardakoff bought the strip and a couple of singles. Later on, he visited the shop again, but by then the stamps were sold out. The stamps were typographed (letterpress) on very good, smooth, unwatermarked, white paper, 0.165 mm. in thickness (as against .125 mm. of the original). The impression is clear, without any blemishes; the perfora- tion is 13 1/4 x 13 3% (against 13 1/2 of the original), and the centering is almost perfect. Because the original currency stamps of the later printings have a wide range of the color variations, the German-made stamps are al- most undistinguishable from them by color; they are slightly brighter and look fresher than originals; the inscriptions on the back are also well centered but slanted a bit to the right. Because of the aforementioned characteristics, their professional production, the plate layout (se-tenant—two denominations from one cliche), perforations the same as those then used in Germany for its own postage stamps, distribution by official German agents among Russian prisoners, and the initial discovery in Germany, it is probable that the currency stamps with degrading in- scriptions on their backs were prepared and printed in Germany by the order of the German General Staff. Before and particularly during World War One, the German General Staff spent 50 million gold reichsmarks to prepare and propagate the revolution in Russia. Their plan was to promote the independence movements in the Caucasus, the Ukraine, Poland and Finland, and in Russia proper to create via their agents a revolutionary movement. One of their plans was the production of the currency stamps and distribution throughout Russia via agents so as to undermine the value of Russian money and destroy or at least lessen confidence in the Imperial government. But they failed evidently because the stamps were confiscated by the Customs' Inspectors and the Guardsmen at the border and destroyed. No single specimen of this issue has been found in Russia during the 55 years since then. The February 1917 revolution in Russia opened the borders wide, an opportunity seized by the German General Staff which insisted that the German Foreign Office transport through Germany into Russia in a sealed railroad car their former secret agent, Comrade V. I. PAGE 22 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 37 Uliyanoff-Lenin and his 32 lieutenants. On April 9, 1917, this party, with farewell cries of "Spies . .. Ger- man spies," departed from Bern, Switzerland to change not only the history of Russia but of the whole world. During the war Russia lost to Germany as prisoners of war two million soldiers. They were not kept idly in Germany's camps; many of them, healthy and able- bodied, were offered and accepted work in coal mines, iron mills and on farms, earning scant wages and saving them for the future. When Germany in 1918 began to repatriate them, according to terms of the Brest-Litovsky Peace Treaty, it began the policy of changing the reichs- marks in the prisoners' possession into Russian paper money, using among others its forged Romanoff cur- rency stamps. As soon as the prisoners returned to the Fatherland, they learned that their savings, exchanged by the Germans for Russian money at the pre-war rate of 37 1/2 kop. per one reichsmark, now were worth only 5-6 kop., and the currency stamps had been demone- tized by the Soviet government at the end of 1917 and were worth nothing. They also learned that possession of a stamp with an image of the former Tzars could lead to accusation by the agents of the "Che-Ka" of being tzarist and a counter-revolutionist. Afraid to face all the consequences of such an accusation, former prisoners destroyed the stamps, evidently never reading the inscrip- tions on the back of them, the inscriptions degrading the rulers whose images they saw on the face of the stamps. If. in any case, some of these stamps "Made in Ger- many" were saved as souvenirs, they evidently perished in the aftermath either of the Civil War 1918-1921 or of subsequent events. None showed up after World War II. German philatelic and numismatic circles maintained strict silence on this subject; it is not known whether anyone saved these stamps. Few survived outside of the U.S.S.R. In the estate of the late Dr. G. V. Salisbury (Bondarenko) are two stamps he bought from Mr. N. I. Kardakoff. I also acquired for my collection from Mr. Kardakoff one pair se-tenant 20 kop.+15 kop., probably unique in this condition, and two separate stamps of 15 kop. and 20 kop.; they were the very last ones in his possession. These are all the known copies of the "Made in Germany" Romanoff Jubilee currency stamps. REFERENCE Mr. N. I. Kardakoff's personal letters to the author.

Scrip of Pennsylvania (Continued from Page 8) and 34 miles by rail north-east of Pottsville; operated by the M'Neal coal company." On the next page of the same report the following appears under "Remarks": "The Barry Slope colliery, the Jackson and M'Neill collieries are all operated by the McNeill company, and whilst the coal from the Barry colliery is shipped by the Lehigh Valley railroad, the coal from No. 1 and 2 breakers is shipped by the Philadelphia and Reading railroad branch road, and is now a con- solidated coal company. The following information appears in the report of the Inspector of Mines for the year 1870, Page 64: "The M'Nael basin is situated W 35 deg. N 1 1/2 miles from Mahanoy City and E 7 deg. S, 2 miles from Shenandoah City and extends from St. Nicholas to Coal Run line 3 miles in length and 1 1/2 miles in breadth. . . . Mr. Frank Daniels, superintendent of the M'Nael coal com- pany developed this basin. . . ." In the 1872 inspector's report on Pages 107 and 108, The McNeal Colliery No. 1 was listed as being situated in Y eatsville. McNeal Colliery No. 2 was worked in connection with No. 1 upon the same coal seams. The M'Neal Colliery No. 3 or Barry Slope along with No. 1 and No. 2 were apparently all being run at this time by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal & Iron Company's agent, William Kendrick. Mr. Charles H. Engle, principal of the Mahanoy Area School district, has done considerable research work on the early collieries of Pennsylvania. He tells me that the Yatesville Colliery was located at a place called Jackson's Patch, which is now entirely destroyed by stripping operations. Mr. Engle has also delved into the early deeds and land grants and informs me that the name McNeal comes from an early land grant of the State of Pennsylvania for 400 acres to a James McNeal; it was dated Sept. 8. 1784, and the tract was called "Richland." The deed is re- corded in the Schuylkill County Courthouse at Pottsville. Mr. Engle also stated that most of the early collieries were named after the owners, operators, or lessees, such as Yates, Jackson, McNeal, Barry, etc. From all the information given here, can there now be any question as to the existence or location of the McNeal Coal Company and its scrip?

WHOLE NO. 37 Paper Money PAGE 23 Roy Pennell Exhibits at Smithsonian One of the highest accolades a collector and his col- lection can receive is an invitation to exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution. SPMC Vice-president J. Roy Pennell, Jr. received such recognition in October, 1970 when his collection "South Carolina Paper Money 1770-1933: Colonial Bills to Depression Scrip" was set up in the Hall of Monetary History and Medallic Art as a part of the commemoration of the 300th anniver- sary of the settlement of the state. The opening reception was attended by some 280 people, many of them members of the South Carolina Society in Washington. Among SPMCers were George Wait, Charles Affleck, Brent Hughes and Ellis Edlow. Mrs. Elvira Clain-Stefanelli, curator at the Smith- sonian, set up the Pennell notes for display and wrote the text for a most attractive illustrated brochure, which is reprinted here: The paper money of South Carolina constitutes a series of highly interesting documents concerning the financial situation of the state. In addition, the currency is an outstanding record of everyday life in the past with its political issues, technical accomplishments, cultural habits and artistic tastes. Shortly after its founding, South Carolina established an active commercial trade with England and with Bar- bados and the other colonies. For these transactions, handwritten pay orders drawn on English banks were often used, while local trade was mostly confined to barter and, on rare occasions, to coins of the motherland or of Spain or Portugal. To cover expenditures for Carolina's frequent wars with the Indians and Spanish and to finance local building programs, special emergency measures were taken and the first bills of credit were issued in 1703. The Assembly's Acts authorizing these issues limited the amounts of the bills and their period of circulation, but, with time, redemption dates were postponed and new amounts printed. This misuse led to inflation and to rapid depreciation. Many of the early colonial issues have completely disappeared and bills prior to 1770 can be considered, in general, as very rare. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION ISSUES OF 1775-1787 Large amounts of money in numerous issues of bills of credit were authorized by the Provincial Congress of South Carolina to help finance an embittered war. The drawings and the Latin mottoes imprinted on the bills of those years manifest the Congress's desires to impart to the citizenry the determination to fight and the hope of a brighter future: paper money was a means of publicizing inspirational war slogans. The pride of repulsing an attack of the British fleet on Fort Moultrie Charleston Harbor) in 1776 was expressed in paper bills, and up to the 1840's Fort Moultrie was illustrated on state bank notes along with figures of Revolutionary heroes. STATE BANK NOTES 1790-1870 During the colonial period Charleston had developed into one of the most prosperous harbors on the East Coast and, with the rapidly growing export and import business, the demands for currency and loan facilities grew. After the Revolution, the state was left with an inflated worthless currency and no appropriate medium for its trade. The value of the 1777 dollar had dropped to slightly more than three cents by 1779, and in May 1780 it was worth less than two cents. The first attempts, in 1783, to provide financial help by the creation of a bank in Charleston failed, but in the early 1790s the Bank of South Carolina began its opera- tions, although it was not officially chartered until 1801. In 1792 the Bank of the United States, located in Phil- adelphia, set up a branch at Charleston. This also helped the South Carolina economy for a while. The bank's charter expired in 1812 and was not renewed until 1816: in 1836 the bank was forced to liquidate. By 1801, two banks had been chartered, The Bank of South Carolina and The State Bank of South Carolina. State banks were permitted to issue currency totaling up to three times their funds in gold and silver. When the financial crisis of 1837 occurred, South Carolina had 14 chartered state banks. As in the rest of the United States, local banks had to suspend specie payments from the spring of 1837 until the summer of 1840; the only bank that did not have to discontinue its payments was the Bank of Georgetown. The crisis of 1837 shook the confidence of the people in banks, and no other new banks were chartered until 1851. During the panic of 1857, nine of the state's 20 banks were able to continue making payments and, by the fol- lowing spring, trade was normal. The banking business was fully developed when the Civil War broke out, but nearly all banks still operating in February 1865, when General William Sherman attacked South Carolina, were destroyed or damaged by fire. Only a few banks re- opened after the war and then only for a short time, with the exception of the Bank of Charleston, which operates up to the present under the name of the South Carolina National Bank. The bank notes of the first half of the 19th century provide great and fascinating variety. They constitute, in fact, an illustrated history of those years. Vignettes on many bills depict the wealth of the state, especially in rice and cotton; national heroes or political and financial leaders; steamboats and trains, the great novel- ties of the era; official buildings; and even popular paintings. The portrayal of Senator John C. Calhoun, one of the South's most illustrious statesmen, in a Roman toga was copied from a marble statue by Hiram Powers. The bill is an important detailed record of the sculpture. which was destroyed by the fire at the state capitol at Columbia during the Civil War. In this exhibit, the PAGE 24 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 37 war period is represented by a few shinplasters, or scrip, mostly in fractional denominations issued by townships, manufacturing companies, schools, courthouses or stores. When the National Banking System was organized in 1863, some local banks began to deposit bonds with the Treasury, thereby functioning under the charter of a national bank. The Federal Reserve System super- seded the National Banking System in 1913. Of special interest are the clearing house certificates issued as emergency measures during the panic of 1893 and of 1907. The wage certificates of the Depression ( 1930 I as well as the plantation scrip used to pay workers on large land properties are also revealing his- toric documents. Seldom has local and national history found such a vivid image as in this South Carolina paper money, selected from a period that spans three centuries.

G.-The New Official Guide to United States Currency, 1971 edition (gift of the author). Briefmarkengeld (Stamp Money) is the latest of Albert Pick's useful numismatic works. The 66-page volume sells for $5 in Germany by the publisher, Klinkhardt & Biermann, Helstedter Strasse 151, Braunschweig. It is a hard-cover book that illustrates and describes stamps used as money, both encased and unencased, as well as postage currency. Mr. Pick's Papiergeld Katalog, also a 1970 release of the Ernst Battenberg Verlag, 8 Munich 71, Postfach 710 260, Germany, is a large, 300-page volume listing and pricing 20th century note issues of Europe, all 4.758 of them. Although printed in German. as are the other Pick books, it is easy to follow and well illustrated. Best of all, the author does not resort to complicated symbols and abbreviations that require constant reference to the front of the hook. This catalog, together with Herr Pick's other works in our Library, form the keystone of the section on world paper money. The Hessler "Guide," published by Dafran House, is a 188-page paperback featuring buying and selling prices. It lists all U. S. paper money 1861 to date and includes sections on error and counterfeit notes. Gene Hessler is the curator of the Chase Manhattan Bank Money Museum in New York City. More additions from the Banyai collection have been catalogued and listed below. The two volumes on the dollar crisis form an interesting glance back and an opportunity to evaluate economic thought and predictions of the 60's in the light of the 70's. The Wright work contains useful chapters on the history of our National Banking System. Erhard's book is a fascinating history of the German post-World War II "economic miracle." Although the Walker work dates from 1887, it is useful as an explanation of the thought prevalent during the years of the bimetallism controversy, with good chapters on the theory of paper money. Excerpts from various writings of Prof. Walker have been selected by Richard Banyai and will appear from time to time in PAPER MONEY. E-1, Erhard, Ludwig The Economics of Success, 1963.

In Memoriam Susan Burma Huntoon Readers of Peter Huntoon's excellent studies on U. S. large size paper money were shocked to learn of the sud- den and untimely death of his wife, Susan Burma Hun- Loon, on November 8, 1970, of an acute asthmatic attack. Mrs. Huntoon, who was 28 years old, had accompanied Dr. Huntoon to the rim of the Grand Canyon, where he was directing geological surveys. Mrs. Huntoon had also accompanied her husband on many numismatic journeys and assisted him in editing his writings, including those used in SPMC's latest pub- lication, The National Bank Note Issues of 1929-1935. Officers and members of SPMC extend their deepest sympathy to Dr. Huntoon and her parents, who also survive. I. T. Kopicki Former SPMC Treasurer I. T. Kopicki died at the age of 67 on September 12, 1970, at his Chicago home. He had suffered from the complications of a heart condi- tion. A native and life-long resident of Chicago, he retired in 1965 as executive vice-president of the Lawn- dale National Bank & Trust Co., which he had served for 47 years. At the time of his death, Mr. Kopicki was the senior active member of the Chicago Coin Club and had com- pleted 45 years of membership in the ANA. He had an outstanding collection of U. S. coins and paper money, having specialized in notes of national banks of Chicago and northern Illinois. Julian S. Marks SPMC charter member No. 20 and former governor Julian S. Marks of Cincinnati passed away at the age of 70 on October 23, 1970. He succumbed to an illness incurred while traveling in the Orient. Mr. Marks headed a family-owned shoe company and the Hobby Finance Co. in addition to his many numis- matic activities. For his U. S. paper money exhibit at the 1961 ANA convention in Atlanta he received the coveted Amon Carter Award. He served as a judge and speaker on many occasions and in 1968 was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson to the Assay Com- mission. The Lewis M. Reagan Memorial Foundation has an- nounced that it will make an award in Mr. Marks' name for paper money exhibitors at the annual ANA conven- tion. Those desiring to contribute to the fund should make their checks payable to the fund and send it to Sol Kaplan, 1103 Transit Bldg., Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

Clark Hutchason, 4145 Lincoln Way, San Francisco, Ca. 94122 Viet Cong Liberation Notes A July 25, 1970 dispatch from the Chief of the Chicago Tribune's Tokyo Bureau tells of a little known incident of the Viet Nam war that has numismatic overtones. Samuel Jameson wrote that South Vietnamese troops who raided Communist sanctuaries in Cambodia found caches of currency in the "Parrot's Beak" region that were in- tended for use in a "liberated" South Viet Nam. Bearing the title "Central Committee, South Viet Nam Liberation Front," this paper money was printed in China and shipped to the Cambodian sanctuaries shortly before the Communist attacks on major cities during the Tet New Year offensive of January-February 1968. The South Vietnamese 25th Infantry Division. head- quartered at Duc Hoa, found 23 boxes of 10 and 20 dong notes 13 miles west of Svay Rieng city on June 10. Al- though no one bothered to count how much money was found, the cache weighed 460 pounds. The discovery of the money added weight to earlier intelligence reports that the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong expected to win a complete victory in the war with their 1968 Tet attacks. The South Vietnamese have distributed the notes as souvenirs. Undoubtedly these will show up in the numis- matic market place. New MPC's Still another series of Military Payment Certificates was issued in Viet Nam on Oct. 7, 1970, for use by U. S. military personnel and other authorized persons. This new series 692 appears in 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c, and $1, $5, $10 and $20 denominations, all multicolored, with the $20 sporting a combination of blue, purple, red and gold on the face and blue and purple on the back. All were printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to replace the old series 681 introduced Aug. 11, 1969. MPCs have been used since Sept. 17, 1946, as the sole medium of exchange at many overseas bases as a method of curbing black market activities of local popu- lations. In the latest instance, the new conversion was followed two days later by a South Vietnamese de- valuation of the dong (piastre). Notable among the new designs are Indian and con- temporary female motifs. The head-dressed Indian on the $10 is reminiscent of the famous "Onepapa" on the five-dollar silver certificate. The series date on the face of a Federal Reserve Note signifies the year in which the design of the note was adopted. The series does not change each calendar year: it changes only when the basic design has a major re- vision. The capital letter following the series year indi- cates that a minor change was authorized in a particular series. Minor revisions usually occur when a new Sec- retary of the Treasury or Treasurer of the United States is appointed, and a corresponding change is made in the signature of one or both of these officials.
