Multiple Errors Versus Double Errors
By Peter Huntoon
In this age of specialization, new terms are invented
every day to describe some new product or facet of
a subject. Most of these expressions can be called
"jargon." Jargon is normally used by specialists in a
field or profession to further describe some concept;
but in many cases, it is simply used to confuse or cloud
an issue. We in paper money are not immune to this
onslaught and we have quite a bit of fun with our
"language." Most paper money jargon seems to be
justified as it helps explain concisely things that would
otherwise take a lot of words. For example, take the
term "mule" which is used everyday by collectors of
small notes to describe plate check letter varieties.
You and I know the meaning of that one (if you don't
see The Standard Handbook of Modern. U.S. Paper
Money, 2nd Ed., page 10) but suppose we nonchalantly
drop this term on one of our unsuspecting non-collector
friends. He might well wonder who kicked the buck!
Error collecting is growing at an unprecedented rate
because this field offers an unlimited opportunity for
adventure and specialization. With this growth, we
are experiencing a shortage of terms needed to describe
our notes. I would like to rectify at least one of these
fuzzy areas by defining some new jargon. First, before
I try the hard sell on these terms, let me outline the
problem that I wish to avoid.
Once in a while, the lucky error collector discovers
a note that contains more than one mistake or misprint.
Often, the two mistakes are the result of the same
mechanical malfunction; but, in some very rare instances.
the two errors were created by two completely indepen-
dent malfunctions. Are both of these types double
errors? How should we classify errors on star notes;
are these double errors too?
Let us explore this problem with some typical examples
that illustrate the point. Take a sheet of paper that
has become badly wrinkled. Some notes from the sheet
will have two or more gutters (jargon for a wrinkle that
unfolds to leave a white streak through the note).
Should such a note be called a double error? Not in
my book—the gutters are all the result of a single
malfunction.
Now contrast this to a note that has both a gutter
and a mismatched serial number. Notice that the errors
are the result of two independent mechanical malfunc-
tions. This note is a true double error and should
reach a much higher price range due to its uniqueness.
How should we differentiate between the two?
I had the pleasure of discussing this point with Jim
Greene of North Carolina, one of the country's most
avid error collectors. Jim had run across this problem and
had a ready-made solution. Invent a new term! The
terms he suggested were equally sound. Call the error
that results from two independent mechanical or human
malfunctions a DOUBLE ERROR. Call the one with more
than one mistake due to a single malfunction a MULTIPLE
ERROR. This made a lot of sense because the terms were
descriptive as well as distinctive.
Where does this leave star note errors? No place.
which is exactly where I think they belong. Star note
errors are appealing because they normally indicate that
some busy inspector actually replaced an existing error
with another one. Other than that, nothing more can
be said. It happens all the time, as is proven by the
fact that we have no shortage of star errors.
Now that you have been dazzled by the new jargon.
some examples will help show how it can be used effec-
tively. Several photos accompany this article and are
labeled multiple or double errors. An explanation is in
order.
Multiple Errors
The starred $5 Legal Tender error in Figure 1 has
two obvious gutters and three that are very fine and
probably don't show in the photo. This note is ob-
viously the result of a sheet that was badly wrinkled.
Because all the gutters have a common origin. a
wrinkled sheet, the error is classed as a multiple error.
The fact that it is a star note is just icing on the cake.
Had the wrinkles been worse. part of the next note
would have shown in one of the margins on the reverse.
This is very common but still must be classed as a
multiple error.
Figure 2. the $20 with selvedge on the corner and off
center seals and serial numbers. is a little harder to
define. Here, a little knowledge of the printing opera-
tion is in order along with a close look at the note.
It is obvious from the way the corner is cut that the
corner was folded up into a series of overlapping folds.
These folds are, of course. evident in the paper. Does
the selvedge have anything to do with low placement
of the seals and signatures? The answer is yes and if
we follow the printing process. the reason becomes clear.
After the backs and faces are printed. the outer margins
of the sheet are trimmed away before the seals and serials
are overprinted. The selvedge does not affect any printing
so the folds occurred between the face printing and
trimming operation. The corner folds left a relatively
thick wad of paper (four sheets thick) on the corner
of the sheet. Consequently, when the sheet was fed
through the overprinting press, it jammed slightly and
caused the sheet to become skewed, which resulted in
poorly aligned signatures. Dirt and grease on the wad-
ded-up corner of the note is additional evidence that it
actually did jam in the press. The note is given multi-
ple error status because both errors resulted from the
folded-up corner.
Double Errors
The remaining two errors are true double errors and
are indeed show pieces simply because they are so hard
to find. When one calculates the probability of two

errors falling on the same note. the statistics run away
with themselves. The first error. Figure 3, has a gutter
on the face and an offset transfer on the right reverse.
These are two independent errors and happened as
follows: The offset occurred during face printing when
the preceding sheet failed to completely cover the face
plate. The impression roller picked up the ink from
the uncovered portion of the plate and offset this on the
reverse of the next few sheets that passed through the
press. Ours was one of these. However, when the sheet
containing our note was feeding into the face press. it
was also wrinkled and a gutter formed. Consequently.
two absolutely independent mechanical mistakes were
involved in the printing of this note so it is a double
error.
Figure 4 shows a very unique and extremely interest-
ing double error. The lower left corner on the reverse
of the $50 has a queer wing that, in part, mirrors the
"50." The "wing" is, in fact. an offset transfer from
the reverse impression roller. This spectacular variety
was created by folded-over corners on two adjacent
sheets. The corners were folded prior to the reverse print-
ing. The corner of the sheet containing our note was
folded over onto the face of the sheet. This would nor-
mally leave a triangular blank on the reverse corner after
the reverses were printed. The foldover on the preceding
sheet was approximately 3/16ths of an inch further into
the corner than the one carrying this note. When the
impression roller picked up the ink intended for the
corner of the preceding sheet, it nicely offset part of
that ink onto the face of our note. However. since our
sheet was also folded over, the offset landed perfectly
on the foldover tab instead of the face. Now, before
the face was printed, our sheet was unfolded. It con-
tinued through the remaining processes normally and
fortunately escaped the watchful eyes of the inspectors.
This note is called a double error because it received an
offset from a malfunction on the preceding sheet as well
as the triangular foldover that occurred on itself.

More About the Newly Discovered Territory of
Washington National Bank Note
As Reported and Illustrated in Paper Money No. 39
By David A. Hakes
The Ellensburgh (properly spelled Ellensburg) Na-
tional Bank was assigned charter #3867 on April 14,
1888, and started with a capital of 550,000. The bank
was suspended July 27, 1893, but resumed business on
October 21st of the same year. The title then changed
to Kittitas Valley National Bank in October of 1895. Due
to incompetent management the bank was closed on July
10, 1896, and eight days later was placed in receivership.
Outstanding amount at this time was $11,250.
Ralph Kauffman (cashier) was a locally prominent
hanker in the area for many years but nothing else is
known about him from this author's research. Austin
Mires signed the note as vice-president. Mires had much
to do with the history of Ellensburg and Washington as
evidenced by books such as: History of Washington,
Idaho, and Montana (Bancroft: 1890) and his personal
diary.
Mires was born in Des Moines County, Iowa in 1852,
the son of farmers. A year later his parents moved to
Oregon, where Mires remained until 1874. In 1880, he
moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to study law. After
graduation in 1882, he was admitted to the Oregon bar
and was elected chief of the Senate of the Oregon

In 188,,, he moved to Ellensburg and upon the town
being incorporated February 26, 1885, was elected as
Mayor. In addition to serving two terms as Mayor he
was City Attorney, City Treasurer, Prosecuting Attorney,
and delegate to both the Admission and Constitutional
Conventions of Washington.
The existing note was saved by Mires' daughter who
died two years ago; it was willed to the present owner
(who wishes to remain anonymous). A few other items
from Mires' personal diary:
Elected as Mayor of Ellensburg.
Elected Vice-president of Ellensburg National
Bank.
Appointed as delegate to Admission (State)
Convention.
Elected as delegate to Constitutional Conven-
tion.
Most of Ellensburg burns down. Same time
that Mires was in Olympia attending the
Constitutional Convention.
State of Washington is admitted to the Union.
Sold bank stock. No longer vice-president.

incompetent management.)
President Roosevelt in Ellensburg.
Elected Prosecuting Attorney.
Washington was a Territory from March 2, 1853 until
November 10, 1889. Ellensburg was founded by John
Shoudy, who was born in Rock Island County, Illinois.
Shoudy served the Union Army during the Civil War.
He lived in California and Seattle through 1871, then
moved to the Kittitas Valley and bought out a small trad-
ing merchant for trading with the 12 to 14 settlers hav-
ing families. In 1885, there were four general stores,
each having a stock of $25,000 to $40,000. Shoudy took
out a preemption claim, a Soldier's Homestead Claim
(each 160 acres ), and having purchased another 160
acres, laid out the town of Ellensburg, naming it after
his wife, Mary Ellen Stewart of Kentucky, whom he
married in 1867.
As to the Bank of Ellensburg, 825 sheets of Brown
Backs were printed. The sheets were $5-5-5-5 and car-
ried bank serial numbers 1 through 825. It is not known
how many of these notes were actually issued or whether
part of these were issued as a state.
This quiet community of 13.000 is situated at a moun-
tain base in south-central Washington not far from
Wenatchee, the apple capital of the world.
This author wishes to express deep gratitude to the
present owner for the loaning of the note to the SPMC
for this article. Also the assistance of Louis Van Belkum
who supplied most of the newest statistical data, Frank

The New York State Free Banking Law
By Forrest W. Daniel
Many stories about the state banking era tell about
wildcat banks, carpetbaggers, red dog or bull pup notes
and banks located at some crossroads in a New Jersey
swamp or Michigan woods. Banks of deposit and issue
were new on the business scene and it was many years
before guidelines for operation and safeguards for de-
positors and holders of bank notes were written into law.
In the meantime banking attracted more than its share
of crooks and sharpers with the rustle of bank notes and
the smell of profit.
This story is different. The banking law passed by
the New York State Legislature in 1838 may be con-
sidered a model banking law. Known popularly as the
Free Banking law, it provided state control and registra-
tion of the issue of bank notes: state bonds became se-
curity only for circulating notes. The securing of all
bank liabilities, often to the exclusion of circulation, as
provided in the Safety Fund law of 1829, had proved
impractical and was eliminated in the 1838 law. The
earlier law remained in effect for banks still operating
under their earlier-dated charters.
Asking stamp dealers for numismatic material is usu-
ally unfruitful but upon occasion something interesting
turns up. The dealer said he had some old letters which
included several ordering notes from one of the bank
note companies. Very interesting. When the lot ar-
rived, it consisted of stampless covers from the 1830s
to 1850s, philatelically of very little value, but 40 of the
letters related directly to bank notes and several others
to allied matters.
Stampless covers are double sheets of stationery used
before postage stamps were introduced in 1847 and for
a time thereafter. The message was written on the inside
leaf; when folded and sealed with wax the outer sheet
became the envelope. A city postmark similar to a dated
cancellation was applied along with the fee paid, or to
be paid, and sometimes a mark "Paid."
All the covers are addressed to the Comptroller of the
State Banking Department. Albany, suggesting they were
salvaged from destruction when the files were cleaned
out some time ago. The fact that all have New York
City postmarks means they are the leavings; the goodies
from the small towns are scattered throughout many
stamp collections. The information contained in those
letters could add much to our knowledge of New York
bank notes. (Figure 1.)
It became apparent from reading the letters that the
operation of the office of the comptroller was identical
to the duties of the United States Comptroller of the
Currency as established by the National Banking Act of
1863 for the issue of National Currency notes. The New
York free banking law was. in fact, the model for the
National Banking Act. So the Laws of the State of New
York for 1838, Chap. 260. "An Act to authorize the
business of banking," was consulted to put the letters in
perspective. Details of the law were undoubtedly modi-
fied during the more than 20 years the law was in effect;
an Act of 1843 is cited in the letters and an exhibit is
included. The following is a juxtaposition of the law.
the letters and commentary seeking to develop a fictional
example of the "life and working" of a free bank in New
York state.
Time law: #15. Any number of persons may associate
to establish offices of discount, deposite (sic) and cir-
culation, upon the terms and conditions, and subject to
the liabilities prescribed in this act; but the aggregate
amount of the capital stock of any such association shall
not be less than one hundred thousand dollars.
The law: #16. Such persons, under their hands and
seals, shall make a certificate which shall specify: 1. The
name assumed to distinguish such association, and to be
used in its dealings: 2. The place where the operations
of discount and deposite (sic) of such association are
to be carried on, designating the particular city, town
or village: 3. The amount of the capital stock of such
association, and the number of shares into which the
same shall be divided: 4. The names and places of resi-
dence of the shareholders, and the number of shares held
by each of them respectively : 5. The period at which
such association shall commence and terminate; which
certificate shall be proved or acknowledged and recorded
in the office of the clerk of the county where any office
of such association shall be established, and a copy
thereof filed in the office of the secretary of state.
The law thus permitted any group of individuals to
form a bank without receiving a charter from the state
legislature if they met the requirement of deposit of state
stocks to secure their notes and other conditions. That
this permitted some inept persons to enter banking is
beyond question—but their circulation, at least, was
secured.
The following letter from the White Plains Bank was
written on the unused sheet of a letter from the comp-
troller asking for more information on the bank. The
comptroller's letter has disappeared.
White Plains, Augt 8th 1844

Fig. 1. A hand-written letter typical of the type of correspondence received by the
New York Banking Department.
The White Plains Bank was in operation for ten years
but moved to Yorktown in May, 1849, and to Naples in
December, 1849, before suspending in 1854. Its begin-
ning foreshadowed its course, because as early as May
8, 1846, 5607 of the bank's circulation was protested for
non-payment I a part of the law dealt with later). The
bank obviously made the notes good within ten days or
it could not have remained in business as long as it did.
The law: #17. The certificate required by the last
preceding section to be recorded and filed in the offices
of the clerk of the county and secretary of state as afore-
said, or copies thereof. duly certified by either of those
officers, may be used as evidence in all courts and places
for and against any such association.
The law: #2. Whenever any person or association of
persons formed for the purpose of banking under the
provisions of this act, shall legally transfer to the comp-
troller any portion of the public debt now created or
hereafter to be created by the United States or by this
State, (Figure 2) or such other States of the United States

The law: #5. The comptroller may give to any person
or association of persons so transferring stock in pur-
suance of the provisions of this act, powers of attorney
to receive interest or dividends thereon, which such per-
son or association may receive and apply to their own
use; but such powers may be revoked upon such person
or association failing to redeem the circulating notes so
issued, or whenever, in the opinion of the comptroller,
the principal of such stock shall become an insufficient
security; and the said comptroller, upon the application
of the owner or owners of such transferred stock in trust,
may, in his discretion, change or transfer the same for
other stocks of the kinds before specified in this act, or

money, according to the ordinary course of banking
business as regulated by the laws and usages of this state.
The law: #31. It shall not be lawful for any associa-
tion formed under the provisions of this act, to make

be issued by the incorporated banks of this state, as he
may from time to time deem necessary to carry into effect
the provisions of this act. and of such form as he may
prescribe. Such blank circulating notes shall he counter-
signed, numbered and registered in proper books to be
provided and kept for that purpose in the office of said
comptroller, under his direction, by such person or per-

Hon. John A. Collier
Comptroller &c
Sir—
We have recently had conversation with Mr. E. Watson
of Albany, on the subject of his invention for preventing
the alteration of notes.
The plan itself is simple, & if carried out with skill in
the execution, would no doubt add to the security of the
notes, in respect to alterations. We have thought it proper
to say that if you should wish to adopt this principle in
the notes for the Free Banks, we would have pleasure in
preparing the necessary work, & our Medallion work ap-
pears peculiarly adapted to carry out his design.
In place of the proposals which we handed you on the
14th. Sept. we wish to substitute the following, which we
trust will be more satisfactory to yourself, & better for
the Banks & public for whose interest you labour.
We propose to furnish any or all the denominations on
steel plates at $300. for four notes, and as the Banks now
in operation have procured 2, 3 &c we will unite those
denominations on a plate with the Ones when ever re-
quired, & charge only for the ones.
We confidently believe that our work would be done in
a manner to meet your approbation, and if the terms we
now propose should not be entirely satisfactory, we will
engage to make them so, & to undertake the work on at
least as favorable conditions as may be offered by any
respectable Engravers.
Very Respectfully

remain in his custody and under his direction; and the
expenses necessarily incurred in executing the provisions
of this act. shall be audited and settled by the comptroller,
and paid out of any moneys in the treasury not other-
wise appropriated; and for the purpose of reimbursing
the same, the said comptroller is hereby authorized and
required to charge against and receive from such person
or association applying for such circulating notes, such
rate per cent thereon as may be sufficient for that pur-
pose, and as may he just and reasonable.

History In Your Hand
By John T. Hickman
"This bill looks strange," the merchant said,
`I'd somehow got it in my head
That all my bills had seals of green,
And so I don't believe I've seen
A bill like this; the seal is brown,
And here's a name- a distant town.
It even has a different look ;
I'm wondering now if I've been took".
"Don't worry, friend, that money's good,
It always was, and well it should.
Our country's bonds, then backed by gold,
When gold was cheaper, when it sold
An ounce for twenty bucks or so,
And other prices too, were low,
Backed up those notes, one hundred per,
You couldn't lose, not ever, Sir."
It started many years ago,
A Civil War, with days of woe,
Had stretched our money out of reach,
And so our problem was to teach
Our people and our bankers all
To use new money, and to call
For NATIONAL BANKS throughout the land.
The old type bank notes then were banned
And bright new Nationals proud with art
Circulated through the mart.
Each was the same, but different, too.
They all had names that even you
Would recognize; our own bank here
Got its own notes like others near.
They circulated far and wide
And spread the word of local pride.
To fuel the commerce of the nation
From Big Stone Gap to White House Station,
From Ballston Spa to Tonapah,
From Birmingham to Beaver Dam,
From Rising Sun to Six Mile Run,
From Callaway to Buzzards Bay,
They coursed like blood through human veins,
the $20. $500 and $1,000 values not listed by Wismer.
A letter from Rawdon, Wright & Hatch dated June 16,
1843, gives notice of shipment of 500 sheets 1, 1, 1, 1,
for James Bank. Jamesville—another unlisted note.
(To be continued)
Down city streets and country lanes.
In our pockets, purses, tills
They settled up our peoples bills,
At Kinderhook, they bought a book;
At Newport News, they paid for shoes.
A house in Memphis paid their Queens
With notes from banks in New Orleans.
An abstract fee was paid in Nampa
With notes a drummer brought from Tampa.
A Tulsa cowpoke locked in jail
Used Kansas notes to pay his bail.
They circulated up and down
The countryside, until we found
A better way, or so we thought,
To stretch our money when it bought
Too many goods in times of stress
And put the country in duress.
A Central Bank is what we need!
A place to finance and to lead,
The way to proper fiscal class!
We all salute you Carter Glass.
You gave us money quite elastic,
Even at a cost most drastic.
And so, the Fed Reserve was born
And too, in time our banks were shorn
Of all their bonds and all their notes
Used to finance wars and boats.
Gone are gold seals, brown and blue,
Soon the red seals will be too.
Numbers now instead of names,
Hard for some to learn new games;
And now that green seals are the most,
Please permit this final toast:
Here's to metals, ores and jewels,
Coal, and oil and other fuels
Here's to Farmers, Merchants, Traders,
Butchers, Drovers, Wagon laders
Here's to Citizen, Central, City
Atlas, Aetna, titles witty
Here's to local names and faces,
Mountains, streams and other places,
Battlefiields, and Forts and townsites,
Broken dreams and other dam sites,
Whaling ships and Shoe and Leather,
Indian names and changing weather,
Here's to NAMES all o'er this land-
Here's to history- in your hand.

A $14 Bank Note
$14 proof note on the Commercial Bank of the City of New York. courtesy of the Prints Div., New
York Public Library—Astor, Lenox & Tilden Foundations
While doing research on New York City scrip, Howard
Baron discovered a proof specimen of a $14 bank note
in the collections of the New York Public Library. George
Wait was consulted about this unusual denomination and
commented, "$14 bills are extremely rare. In fact, I
think this is the first I have seen. The Commercial Bank
of the City of New York was chartered in 1834 with a
capital of $500,000 and closed in 1842. According to
D. C. Wismer, it issued notes in $11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 500
and 1,000 denominations."
The note shown here was printed by Rawdon, Wright
and Hatch and features a "topless" classical vignette by
Freeman Rawdon. A faint marking at the lower left
reveals the name of James D. Smillie, famed bank note
artist. It is followed by a number, indicating perhaps
that it was applied by an archivist.
A Personal Note and an Invitation
While doing research for an article on New York notes
and the engravers thereof, I was directed by the librarian
of the Numismatic Museum in New York to the New
York Public Library on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street.
I was told that it possessed a large collection of notes,
engravings, proofs and other data housed unobtrusively
in the Rare Print Room. Entrance to the room is by
special card given to those engaged in some research or
inquiry. I was passed and given a card.
When I described the things that I was seeking to
Mrs. Dianne O'Neal and Miss Elizabeth Roth, the
Curator, they were both overjoyed that at long last some-
one would be looking at the treasures that are hidden
away on their shelves. They told me that during the
past years no one, with the possible exception of itinerant
advertising men in search of period illustrations, had
used the enormous amount of material available.
They first brought out a series of volumes that must
contain a copy of every vignette that was ever used on
obsolete notes and then a large folio which contains
more vignettes and a whole section devoted only to
proofs. As I turned page after fascinating page, my
eyes popped and my lips drooled at the fantastic material
displayed. Then to cap the climax there in all its glory
lay the $14 proof. I had known from the Wismer listing
that there was supposed to be such an "animal," but I
had never seen it nor known anyone who had. I im-
mediately asked Mrs. O'Neal how we could have it photo-
graphed, and before I left the library that day she had
made arrangements.
I later discussed the lack of use of this room with
Miss Roth, and she said that the only person whom she
knew to have really made use of all this magnificent
material was the late Doctor Blanchard, one time vice-
president of SPMC and president of The Essay-Proof
Society. Since he has gone, it has not been used at all.
She and her staff asked me to extend to all numismatists
an invitation to use the Rare Print Room when in New
York. I can vouch for the fact that any visit there will
be most rewarding and a real "sight" to see in the city.
HOWARD S. BARON
An article in the April 1971 issue of Japanese Philately
about Matsuda Atsutomo, designer and printer of Japan's
first postage stamps, contains information of numismatic
interest as well. The familiar "dragon" stamp design
of 1871 was derived from the lower part of the gold
two bu note of 1869, Sten's J195B. Both the money
and the stamps were printed from etched copper plates.

Behind a Bold Signature
By Everett K. Cooper
The Confederate Treasury Department began life on a
very modest basis, occupying an unpretentious one-room
office with borrowed furniture. The only operating funds
were those in the pockets of the civil servants assigned
the Department. Congress quickly authorized on March
9, 1861 the printing of one million dollars in paper
currency to fund the operations of the embryo govern-
ment. The currency, when received from the northern
bank note printers, required hand-signing by A. B.
Clitherall as Register and E. C. Elmore as Treasurer of
the Confederate States. As with all aspects of the
Treasury Department, this hand-signing task very quickly
expanded into an impossible chore for its important mem-
bers. To meet this difficulty they quickly assigned gentle-
men in the Department who were rapid in the use of the
pen and whose signatures were most unusual to the task
of placing their signatures on the increasing mass of
paper money. A Mr. John Ott was placed in charge of
those signing for the Treasurer and a Mr. Clarence
Thayer supervised those signing for the Register (21. As
time progressed and most able-bodied men were taken
by the military, this assignment was assumed by the
patriotic Southern ladies. Congress continually studied
the practicality of printing the signatures on the cur-
rency but, with one exception, never authorized deviation
from the hand-signed notes.
Of all the autographs on such currency, the boldest
and most distinctive appeared on some of the 1861-issued
notes. The fine, distinctive Spencerian signature, an
anachronism in today's world of haste, was a cherished
accomplishment in the mid-nineteenth century. An ex-
ample was the distinctive cramped signature of F. E.
Spinner appearing on the Fractional Currency issued by
the United States. A northern army officer, Colonel
Drake DeKay, achieved recognition early in the war for
the very bold signature which he used to sign travel
passes for those traveling out of Washington (1).
The Confederate signature of C. C. Thayer, who super-
vised those signing for the Treasury Register, rivaled
that of Colonel DeKay. The hold, flowing signature of
Thayer is found on all denominations of the July 25,
1861 and September 2, 1861 issues of currency. It is
found covering over half the width of the note and was
distinctive enough to discourage even the boldest counter-
feiter, it was believed. Judging from the period these
notes were released, Mr. Thayer was engaged at the
least from October 22, 1861 through May 12, 1862 or at
the most from July 25, 1861 through December 8, 1862.
Regardless of the time period, he really does not disap-
pear but only fades into the background yet to provide
an interesting part of the history of Confederate cur-
rency.
Indirectly, he appears again in a role not previously
recognized and makes an ancillary contribution to Con-
federate numismatic history. The enigmatic $20 pseudo-
Confederate note widely known to collectors for its
vignette of a "Female Riding a Deer" becomes a part
of the examination behind this bold signature. (See
Appendix I.) The origin of this $20 note, bearing a
legitimate issue date of July 25, 1861, has long intrigued
collectors. At one time it was considered a genuine note
of the Southern government (6). Subsequently, experts
have agreed that it is sheer fabrication and have labeled
it as "bogus" but a worthwhile part of any collection of
Confederate currency. Now, observe closely that this
bogus $20 note carries a poor imitation of the bold flow-
ing autograph of C. C. Thayer! But, alas, the imitator
was deceived and made the signature read C. C. Shayer.
But by such trivia the fabric of history is woven. The
articulate students of paper money history have only
agreed that this note is truly bogus and probably printed
in the North. All the prominent cataloguers have in-
cluded it in their listings (Appendix I). A survey of
PAGE 156

Enlargement of genuine C. C. Thayer signature
the attributed source of the note by a number of writers
is of interest:
Allen (6)
Bogus but no source indicated.
Chase (3)

post-war vintage.
Criswell (12) Bogus, not printed by S. C. Upham but
possibly printed in Ohio.
Slabaugh (13) Bogus, printed in the North.
Glaser (4)
A fabricated note; a copy came into
hands of Samuel Upham who made
thousands of copies.
With this thread of the incorrect C. C. Thayer signa-
ture, we can endeavor to weave a fabric of probable
fact. The infamous S. C. Upham of Philadelphia, the
enterprising producer of souvenir Confederate money
and stamps, prepared as his second rebel souvenir note
a copy of a $10 July 25, 1861 "Liberty seated by eagle"
note (Criswell T-10). In a post-war letter Mr. Upham
relates, "This note was first engraved by Frank Leslie,
of New York, and printed in his 'Illustrated Newspaper'
in March 1862." The interesting point about this
specific note, which was an artist's sketch and not a
photographic reproduction, was the error in the C. C.
Thayer signature which was reproduced as C. C. Shayer.
The same signature error as repeated on the bogus $20
"Female Riding a Deer" note!
Mr. Sam Upham made two other interesting statements
in his post-war confession. First, he asserts. "None of
the designs of the notes were original with me." Also,
he records, "In the year 1863, two individuals in New
York (Haney & Hilton, the former deceased) copied
several of my facsimile notes" (3) (4) (14).
Collectors today are aware that this $20 phantasy note
is found both with and without the usual S. C. Upham
imprint and on a wide variety of papers. Advertise-
ments by Upham in newspapers of the period indicate
that he offered a variety of papers 13 I (15 ). Now let's
try weaving together a story of this famous mystery
note based on a few threads of fact:
Public interest in the North in the early war period
was keen for rebel souvenirs, including their paper cur-
rency. Upham had tasted this popularity with the clamor
for his first souvenir publication. To continue this
commercial success while the public appetite was strong
required another specimen Confederate note for publica-
tion. However, the legitimate product was quite scarce
in the North. Therefore, Upham employed the Frank
Leslie artist, used the same note format, including the
same signatures, changed the denomination and vignettes,
and quickly produced another note with the look of
authenticity. The "Female Riding a Deer" phantasy note
was born as an Upham souvenir. The vignette chosen
was, apparently, a stock item for job printers and has
appeared on a number of legitimate notes of the Civil
War period. (Appendix II I The notorious Haney &
Hilton made their pirated edition and gave it wider
circulation but without the Upham margin imprint
"FAC-SIMILE CONFEDERATE NOTES SOLD,
WHOLESALE AND RETAIL, BY S. C. UPHAM, 403
CHESTNUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA." Thus, his-
tory was given a minor mystery to savor and contemplate
and our Mr. C. C. Thayer, nee Shayer, was further
committed to posterity.
The original intent of using bold distinctive signa-
tures, such as that of Thayer, was to foil the efforts of
the counterfeiter. Alas, those plying that nefarious oc-
cupation accepted the challenge and with mediocre effort
made their imitations. including the forbidding Thayer
Spencerian signature. Some notes observed with the
false C. C. Thayer signature are:
$10 July 25, 1861 Criswell T-10 Chase C1-109
$10 September 2, 1861 Criswell T-25 Chase C2-124
$20 September 2, 1861 Criswell T-19 Chase C1-132
$100 September 2, 1861 Criswell T-13 Chase C1-138
Mr. Clarence C. Thayer still is not to disappear from
the annals of Confederate history. On July 24, 1863,
rebel war clerk and diarist J. B. Jones recorded in his
diary, "The Secretary of the Treasury sent an agent a
WHOLE NO. 40
Paper Money PAGE 157
few weeks ago with some $12,000,000 for disbursement
in the Trans-Mississippi country [i.e., west of the Missis-
sippi River], but he has returned to this city [Rich-
mond], being unable to get through. He will now go
to Havana, and thence to Texas; and hereafter money
will be manufactured at Houston, where a paper treasury
will be established." (8) Jones at this entry date did
not identify the agent but later (March 25, 1864) identi-
fied him as C. C. Thayer. The printing of paper money
in Houston is also intriguing; an entry in the same diary
on November 23, 1863 reads, "Mr. Memminger has sent
a press to the Trans-Mississippi country, to issue paper
money there."
Treasury Agent Thayer sailed from Wilmington, North
Carolina. on October 12, 1863, with a "very large amount
of public funds," approximately $15 to $16 million in
paper money, destined for San Antonio, Texas, and
Shreveport, Louisiana. He arrived in Havana on October
19th and departed the Cuban city on October 24th aboard
a fast English schooner destined for Matamoras, Mexico.
Thayer reported he arrived there on November 6, 1863,
and, "I could not have arrived in a more inopportune
time." Confederate military forces had just evacuated
Brownsville, Texas, opposite Matamoras, and Federal
forces entered the town on November 5th. This allowed
Mexican rebels to invade Matamoras on the same date.
All this the day prior to the arrival of Clarence Thayer
with his millions!
and Company had recently purchased two other local
trading firms and along with the acquisition acquired
some large contested debts with the Confederate govern-
ment for supplies provided to the Confederate army. On
December 17, 1863, Agent Thayer was shocked to receive
a letter from Patricio Milmo advising "that I will hold
the contents of the seven cases of Confederate property
now in my hands as security for the total amount due
to me here and in Matamoras." (10) Along with this
Milmo seized 600 bales of cotton belonging to the Con-
federacy. Eloquent persuasion with Milmo and his
father-in-law failed to yield results. It was apparent that
the secrecy requested by Thayer of Major Russell as to
the contents of the cases was not respected and Milmo
was made aware of them.
Major General E. Kirby Smith, military commander
of the Trans-Mississippi Department, took action to seal
off the Mexican border to the flow of all commercial
transactions. This threat to the economy of the Mexican
state achieved results, and the currency was released to
continue its journey into the Trans-Mississippi. Agree-
ment was also made to provide equitable settlement of
the accounts due P. Milmo and Company. The exposure
of the malfeasance of Major Russell in the commercial
transactions for which he represented the Confederate
government, including the divulging the contents of the
seven cases, resulted in the Secretary of War relieving
him from duty.
It is interesting to note that "in the last year of hos-
tilities, some counterfeit currency was made in Havana,
Cuba and having run the blockade entered the Con-
federacy at Mobile or passed through Matamoras, Mexico
into the Trans-Mississippi Department" (7) traveling in
the same direction as this purloined shipment.

A Major Charles Russell, Confederate Quartermaster,
was the only proper Confederate officer then present in
Matamoras with whom Thayer could discuss his plight.
Endeavoring to avoid speculation about the seven boxes
he was escorting, Thayer wanted to disassociate himself
from them. Major Russell provided him with an in-
troduction to the Mexican business firm of P. Milmo and
Company of Matamoras and Monterrey. Thayer turned
his cargo, not identified as currency, over to the custody
of Milmo for shipment from Boca del Rio to Eagle Pass,
Texas. via Monterrey, Mexico.
This commercial firm had an excellent reputation, and

Black Registers of the
S. Treasury
SPMC'er Robert E. Wheeler chose a timely theme
for an invitational exhibit at the Detroit Historical
Museum during July and August 1971. He displayed
notes signed by black Registers of the U. S. Treasury.
Five black men served as Registers of the Treasury,
four of whose signatures appear on the U. S. currency.
The five men were: Blanche K. Bruce, Register from
1881 to 1885; Judson W. Lyons, Register from 1898
to 1906; William T. Vernon, Register from 1906 to
1911; James C. Napier, Register from 1911 to 1913;
and Louis T. Boomer, Register from 1953 to 1956.
(On all small-size notes as on the large Federal Reserve
Notes of 1914, the Register's name no longer appears
but is replaced by the signature of the Secretary of the
Treasury, the highest official of the Department. Today
the Secretary's signature is on all currency, along with
that of the Treasurer. While the office of Register is
still in existence, the Register's name no longer is dis-
played on currency.
The notes were displayed in a "U" shape, with the
first wall carrying the title and copy about the duties
of the Registers. Glass cases on the other walls housed
the notes themselves, with one case for each of the
original signers and five notes to the case. Out of the
20 notes shown, 12 were personally autographed by one
of the original signers of that note, whether it be the
Register or the Treasurer, as the authorized printed
signature appearing on the note. Some of these auto-
graphed notes are considered unique and carry such
impressive provenances as the Farran Zerbe, Colonel
Green, George Blake, Albert Grinnell, James M. Wade
and L. S. Werner collections.
Each of the four cases carried the name of the
Register featured, a portrait, and a biographical sketch,
plus notes of each signature combination with the U. S.
Treasurer with whom each man served. Each note
was individually described, directly below, as to the
series, denomination and other important information
for the viewer.
Mr. Wheeler has consented to write an article for
PAPER MONEY embodying the biographies and pictures
of these black Registers.

Treasurer M. Owen Warns reports that member David
J. Levitt has presented our Society with an album con-
taining a complete set of photos of number one sheets
of the 1929-1935 National Bank Note issues, one from
each of the then 48 states during the period of issue.
Mr. Levitt also presented two additional albums of
other number one sheets containing 141 more photos
of this issue, resulting in a combined total of 188 sheet
photos. The Society is indeed grateful for this invalu-
able gift of these albums, which it will preserve for
use in research studies.
In passing, we might also mention that David Levitt
was signally honored in having been appointed to serve
as a member of the 1971 annual assay commission.

The $100 Partially Turned Digit Error Set
By Lee Worthley
The accompanying photograph shows a most remark-
able find, a set of eight $100 notes showing a complete
error happening and then correcting itself.
Paper money is always printed with the higher serial
numbers first. so that the finished sheets come off the
press in numerical order. And on 32-subject sheets, there
are two serial numbering devices per note, making a total
of 64 for each sheet. On this particular run, one of
these serial number registers became defective for a total
of five sheets. thus causing one note in each of these
sheets to be printed in error. All the notes have the same
check letter, A4, denoting the same position from each of
the sheets it came from. Page 103 of Shafer's guide
book shows the position of this note on the printed sheet.
Partially turned digit notes are a relatively scarce error,
and once in the process, can turn into mismatch serial
number notes. Mine is not such the case, although I wish
it were. Also, the examiners have to look at notes very
hard in order to spot these small-size errors, as compared
with offsets and creases. In addition, this error was only
on five notes and did not continue on with hundreds of
notes as is usually the case.
The explanation of this error is that when note #830
was advancing to #829, some dirt or other foreign matter
was caught between the "8" and the "3." As the number
changed, the "8" was pulled with the "3" causing the top
of the "7" to show. Then the partially turned digit at-
tempted to right itself, as evidenced by the fact the error
is less pronounced as the serials move along. Finally on
note #824, the printing returned to normal and continued
on that way until the end of the run. The amazing thing
is that the error corrected itself without any human help
whatsoever and printing of normal notes continued. This
type of error normally does not correct itself, and usually
the press has to be shut down, upon discovery, and cor-
rected. Hundreds of these errors can be made before
correction.
Did this error happen again when #820 was printed
and then moved to #819? My opinion is that it did not.
While I have no further notes to substantiate this, I feel
that as the error did correct itself, the foreign matter no
longer was a problem.
Many thanks go to Peter Huntoon for his knowledge in
helping to explain how this error happened. Any addi-
tional information about this rare error set will be greatly
appreciated by the author at P. 0. Box 27064, Los
Angeles, Cal. 90027.

A 2,000,000 mark banknote issued by the Reichsbank in July of 1923 at the
time when the hyper-inflationary spiral started to get seriously out of con-
trol. The head of Holbein's "Sixteenth-Century Banker" appears twice on it.
Hans Holbein, the younger, 1497-1543, a German
painter, and son of Hans Holbein, the elder, was born at
Augsburg. He received his lessons from his father who
was also a painter. In early life he designed title page
blocks and initials for new editions of the Bible and
classics issued from the various presses at the time.
Some of his best-known works are "The Flagellation"
and "Last Supper," executed in 1519; "Madonna and St.
Pantalus;" and "Kaiser Henry with the Empress Kuni-
gunde," done in 1522. To the world of finance his most
notable painting is "A Sixteenth-Century Banker" pic-
tured below. The head of the banker appears also on
two Reichsbank notes issued in 1923 during the hyper-
inflation which engulfed Germany at the time.
A Review
The Legal and Military Aspects of German. Money,
Banking, and Finance 1938-1948 by Richard A.
Banyai. Available for $5.50 postpaid from the
author. 4520 N. 34th St., Phoenix, Ariz. 85018
SPMC member and student of economics Richard A.
Banyai has scored again with a marvelous monograph
that should be in the personal library of every collector
of world paper currency. This multi-lith, 8 1/0x11. soft-
bound, 121-page volume contains excellent reproduc-
tions of all the paper money used in the European
areas overrun by Hitler together with useful maps and
interesting photos.
The interest in the Third Reich and concern for basic
monetary policy which is increasing daily in America
will be well served by Mr. Banyai's study. It is divided
into three sections: military occupation and the issue of
military currency in international law; legal and military
aspects of German money, banking and finance 1938-45;
and banking and monetary reconstruction in Germany
under Allied military occupation 1945-48. Anyone who
has traveled in post-war Germany will be fascinated by
the comparison of contemporary conditions with those
described by Mr. Banyai, and everyone can learn from
the German experience vis-a-vis his own financial future.

Currency and Check Vignettes
By Richard
Along with the tremendous growth of interest in re-
cent years in obsolete notes and private scrip, there has
also arisen an associated interest in the study of hank
checks, certificates of deposit, drafts, and other hank
paper of various types. The steady growth of our So-
ciety's membership bears mute testimony to that fact.
Further evidence of this may be observed in the forma-
tion. less than two years ago. of the Check Collectors'
Round Table. devoted primarily to the study of such
items as they pertain directly to banks.
Earliest of the banking institutions in America was the
Bank of Pennsylvania, created at a coffee-house meeting
in Philadelphia, on June 7, 1780. The bank was opened
for business on July 7th, but despite the slowly expanding
need for such facilities and the great assistance it
rendered in keeping the Continental Army equipped in
the field until the cessation of hostilities, it was forced
to close after having been in operation but a year and
a half. Liquidation finally took place in 1784.
The more renowned Bank of North America, the first
and only bank chartered by the Continental Congress
(on December 31. 1781). opened for business January
7, 1782. In 1864, the bank merged with the Pennsylvania
Company for Insurance on Lives and Granting Annuities.
which had opened in 1812. Today the institution is
familiarly known as the First Pennsylvania Bank, largest
in Philadelphia.
Together through the years, as the privately created
currencies of the many banks came into greater use,
and later laid aside as no longer having any monetary
value. the certain use of checks attended those bank
currencies. An interesting aspect of collecting these ob-
solete currencies has been the matching of die proof
vignettes, as prepared for use on the paper money. with
specific notes on which such were employed. Many
designs were made up for a specific customer, while
others were incorporated into salesmen's sample books
to demonstrate to prospective customers the high quality
of the engraving art. Plates which originated with one
of the early firms were often used later when such firm
was absorbed into mergers that occurred so often to
form the "Association," resulting in the American Bank
Note Company.
Some few instances exist where it is possible to match
the die proofs with currency as well as the vignettes on
checks. The Continental Bank Note Company created
the design of a woman wearing a star in her headdress.
known as the "Star of the West." This appeared on the
$1 note of the Macon & Brunswick Railroad, Georgia, in
1867. The same vignette later made its appearance in
1879, on checks designed by the Western Bank Note &
Engraving Company, Chicago. for the Union Bank of
Abingdon, Illinois, on revenue-stamped blue paper. Nu-
merous popular designs were thus copied by various
other lithographing and printing firms.
The die proof of Samuel Dexter shown here. provides
an excellent illustration of this association of checks with
T. Hoober
currency. as used on the 50c Fractional Currency note
of the Fourth Issue, design No. 186, according to Fried-
berg. The design was created by the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, Washington, D. C.
This identical vignette appears on the check issued by
the Assistant Treasurer of the United States, dated 1884,
also shown here. The check was printed from an en-
graved plate in red and black, on paper containing silk
threads in red and blue, some of which can faintly be
noted in the vignette of Dexter. The amount of the check
for three cents, and the written comment, "Import Re-
fund," causes one to wonder for just what refund the
check was drawn !

Samuel Dexter was a statesman and eminent jurist,
born in Boston, May 14. 1761. and died in Athens, New
York, May 4, 1816. He was graduated from Harvard
in 1781, and admitted to the bar in 1784. He was re-
peatedly chosen for the legislature of Massachusetts and
in 1798 was elected a senator of the United States. Two
years later he was appointed Secretary of War and in
the same year he was named Secretary of the Treasury,
in which post he served about one year. About 1802 he
withdrew from political life and returned to his profes-
Library Notes
William T. Anton, Jr. and Morey Perlmutter have pre-
sented to the Society a special library edition of their
reprint project "The Celebrated Albert A. Grinnell Col-
lection of United States Paper Currency catalogued by
Barney Bluestone." This $25, nearly 700-page tome
describing the most complete collection of U. S. paper
money ever assembled by any individual is a complete
reprint of the seven auction catalogs and prices realized
from 1944 to 1946. The cataloguer included lengthy
comments on many of the lots which convey many odd-
ments of information about numbers known, the prov-
enance of the notes. the origin of errors and freaks, etc.
Truly this is a princely gift, for which we are most
grateful.
SPMC President J. Roy Pennell, Jr. has given the
Library two paperbound catalogues of Japanese notes
printed entirely in the Japanese language but profusely
illustrated. One appears to be devoted to military and
occupation notes and the other to the notes listed by
Sten as "Part 1: Nippon Ginko" and "Part 2: Govern-
ment Notes" as well as a half dozen designs with en-
graved vignettes at right and left in the style of our
early paper money.
Another linguistically-puzzling gift has come from
Sweden, the gift of Ernst Nathorst-Boos of the Bank of
Sweden. Entitled simply "Sedlar," it is essentially a
summary of the paper money issues of all major countries
with special emphasis on the very first issues. This at-
tractive, hardbound, 223-page book is well illustrated
with seldom-seen reproductions of those early notes. It
also includes an actual sample of Swedish bank note
paper on which a portrait and various mechanical en-

1814, and was the first president of the first society

With the passage of time many other instances of
similar close associations of checks with currency will
come to light because of more detailed and intensive
research into the many fascinating aspects of our na-
tion's monetary history.

book are decorated with scenes from early security
printing plates.
Larry Adams recently discovered the usefulness of
the National Archives Bulletin 5. The Repair and
Preservation of Records by Adelaide E. Minogue, and
kindly added a copy to the Library. According to Larry,
it was used as the basis for J. J. Curto's recent ANA
reprint on paper money care. Since the monograph was
written in 1943, many new products for the preserva-
tion of records have been introduced; nevertheless, much
of the information is timeless and still applicable. Most
interesting are the sections on materials and processes
of paper manufacture, causes of paper deterioration,
and repair.
Collectors of Canadian paper money will be interested

Check Collectors Round Table quarterly publication,
The Check List, Robert A. Flaig, its editor and publisher,

Boise's Paper Pennies
By Cliff Murk
Shortly after the beginning of World War II, the
United States was plagued with a penny shortage. Many
localities "toughed it out" but not so Boise, Idaho. The
merchants' division of their Chamber of Commerce sent
out a plea to raid the piggy banks— "get those pennies
into circulation." This idea was not successful. so their
next move was to make pennies of their own.
Their decision finally centered upon a lithographed
design produced by the Beacon Litho Company. The
paper cent is one inch wide and 3 1/16 inches high. The
design is in blue and is identical on both obverse and re-
verse.
The need for these cents was urgent, so the acceptance
by the stores, banks, government offices, etc. was favor-
able. Records of the total number printed have been lost;
however, they were produced in lots of 100,000 at a time.
It is estimated that possibly a couple of million were
printed.
The Chamber of Commerce planned the issue of cents
as a circulating medium for the Boise area, but they soon
found that its fame had spread over all the state. It was
then that orders for lots of a hundred or more at a time
began to come in. The larger banks around the country
bought them, presumably to give to friends and cus-
tomers. Thus the cents found their way into collections
as they still circulated and worked at home.
A date of redemption for the cents was imprinted upon
them; it was estimated to be the war's end. This was a
bit optimistic and premature, as that date was predicted
to be June 1, 1943. As we know all too well, the war
ended about two years later.
All proceeds from the sale of these cents were placed in
a savings account against the redemption date. It was well
that this was done, because the Treasury Department sent
a directive stating that if the printing of these cents wasn't
stopped, the Attorney General would be directed to insti-
gate a court action. Later when circulation didn't stop,
the local U. S. Attorney wrote explanations for the cents'
issuance, and pointed out that the money was being de-
posited in a trust account against a pre-specified redemp-
tion date and that the Chamber intended to print pennies
until the government issued theirs in such an amount
that the shortage would be eliminated. The senators of
the state were so notified, and they interceded for the
Chamber so that the federal intervention was dropped.
When the government finally caught up with the penny
situation and new pennies arrived in Boise in quantities
sufficient to serve the community, the Chamber advertised
that the paper pennies would be redeemed and retired.
Imagine the surprise of the Chamber officials when they
found that a five-dollar bill would redeem all that were
turned in and even leave some change. Out of the
hundreds of thousands printed. an insignificant four

hundred or so came back. The money left over in the
trust account was used for the community's benefit.
During the Great Depression, many unique and novel
materials were used for emergency scrip, such as the fish
skin of San Juan, Washington. the buckskin of Enterprise.
Oregon, the sheepskin of Heppner, Oregon, the leather
money of Albany, Oregon, and the oyster money of
Olympia, Washington, and the one that started them all
off, the wooden bills of Tenino. Washington. These all
circulated very well in a local manner. They also re-
Moingona Bank was
Never Opened
By Larry Adams
Here is a bit of history about the two items pictured,
a check and certificate of deposit on the Moingona Bank
—proposed but never opened.
Moingona is a small settlement south of Boone, Iowa.
In the late 1800's it was a prosperous coal mining town,
located on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. At
one time it was incorporated, but since the mines shut
down and the railroad was taken out. all that remains
there today is a church building and a few houses.
In the 1870's, Phillip Livingston proposed a bank
there, the Moingona Bank. He went so far as to have the
plans drawn up and checks and certificates of deposit
printed. His plans failed to materialize. and he never
got the bank open. It is indeed a rare occurrence when
this happens and few checks and certificates of deposit
are saved to document it.
turned a nice profit to the communities issuing them, but
none did so well as the penny that necessity demanded be
printed and which circulated the length and breadth of
the lower Snake River district of Idaho performing yeo-
man's service.
Author's Note: Much of the foregoing information was
furnished or verified by Mr. Ned Harlan of Boise, Idaho,
who was the manager of the Boise Chamber at the time
these events took place. I thank him on behalf of the
Society for the courtesy extended.

GREAT CLASSICS IN PAPER MONEY
I do not recall having seen within the past ten years any offerings
of the really rare and pedigreed notes that might compare in
quality and quantity with those listed here. The owner pur-
chased many of these from Mr. W. A. Philpott, Jr., over the past
25 or so years and refused to sell them during Mr. Phil's lifetime.
These notes so indicated are singularly choice to the point where
the famed Philpott quality readily shows.
I INTEREST BEARING NOTES 1LEGAL TENDER NOTES
$2, Series 1869, Allison-Spinner, Fr. 42. This is the
only note with the three styles of $2 on the re-
verse. In choice Uncirculated, much rarer than
generally realized. This a very choice crisp new
note with one minute corner fold. $400.
$5, Series 1907, Napier-Thompson, Fr. 86. The
beautiful wocdchopper Family vignette, with a sig-
nature combination possible for only four months
and 9 days. CUT SHEET of 4 crisp uncirculated
notes cataloguing at $475. each, but to keep a very
spectacular group together, the four for $1,450.
$20, Series 1869, Allison-Spinner, Fr. 127. Large red
seal and the large "XX" on reverse. Crisp uncir-
culated and a rare type. Ex Philpott. $1,200.
$20, Series 1878, Allison-Gilfillan, Fr. 129. Small red
seal with rays. A most desirable specimen and very
difficult to locate in this Very Fine condition. $575.
$50, Series 1863, Chittenden-Spinner, Fr. 150.
"Second Obligation - on reverse. A Crisp Uncirculated
beauty, seldom offered or seen, especially in this
magnificent state of preservation. From Philpott
Collection. $2,500.
$50, Series 1869, Allison-Spinner, Fr. 151. Only 24
notes reported as outstanding on the Treasury Books.
An Extremely Rare type note, Fine condition, marred
only by a small 1/4" tear at left. $1,450.
$50, Series 1869, Allison-Spinner, Fr. 151. Same va-
riety, except this is for the most discriminating col-
lector or museum. A beautiful crisp uncirculated
note as choice as the day it was printed. Again a
Philpott note. $4,000.
$50, Series 1874, Allison-Spinner, Fr. 152. Benj.
Franklin and Liberty. Almost Extra Fine but perhaps
a bit close to Very Fine, rare.
$950.
$100, Series 1863, Chittenden-Spinner, Second Obliga-
tion, Fr. 167. An extremely rare note in the ulti-
mate condition, Crisp Uncirculated. Believed unique
in this condition. Ex Philpott $3,000.
$100, Series 1875, Allison-New, Fr. 169.
Floral de-
sign in red.
Very Fine.
A rare and very much
underrated note, only three known.
$850.
$1,000, Series 1880, Lyons-Roberts, Fr. 187-j.
An
excessively rare note in Fine state of preservation.
A beautiful note but unfortunately, it has numerous
pin holes at left vignette which should be repaired.
The opportunity to secure a similar specimen may
not again present itself for another generation. $3,000.
$20, 1865, Fr. 191. A beautiful note in Extra Fine
condition, quite possibly the finest known speci-
men, all of which have seen circulation. Very, very
rare. $1,250.
$10, 1864, Fr. 196. Here is a nice, well-preserved
specimen of this rare series. One small pinhole
only detracts from the Fine condition. $1,100.
$20, 1864, Fr. 197. This specimen is in a choice and
desirable Fine condition and is possibly the finest
known. It is difficult to estimate the value of such
a rare note but it merits a place in a most select
collection. $1,500.
$500, 1864, Fr. 212-b. This is the note illustrated
in Friedberg. Only a few ink spots mar an other-
wise nearly Extra Fine specimen. We do not know
of another specimen anywhere and the opportunity
for some lucky collector to secure this note may
never again present itself. Again from the personal
collection of Mr. Philpott. $4,250.
$50, 1864, Fr. 212-d. Only a very few notes remain
in this entire series. Again an opportunity for some
discerning collector to possess a note of unusual
rarity. With some claim to Extra Fine, marred only
by some minor stain at right center and two old ink
spots, it is a fitting companion to the preceding
note. $3,500.
SILVER CERTIFICATES
$1, Series 1899, Napier-Thompson, Fr. 231. This
signature combination is the rarest of all, being in
office together for only 4 months and 9 days. A very
choice uncirculated specimen except for one tiny
edge stain and one horizontal fold. $200.
$2, Series 1891, Rosecrans-Nebeker, Fr. 245. Another
choice Uncirculated note, very difficult to obtain in
this superb state of preservation.
$400.
$2, Series 1899, Napier-Thompson, Fr. 254. A com-
panion piece to the $1 above. Low Serial # H-55
and autographed by Carmi A. Thompson. Crisp, Un-
circulated, leaving nothing to be desired. $450.
$5, Series 1899, Napier-Thompson, Fr. 276. Same
rarity as the preceding note but this is the more
popular Onepapa note, also in superb Uncirculated
condition. Low Serial # H-20. Ex Philpott. $500.
$5, Series 1923, Speelman-White, Fr. 282. A CUT
SHEET of four beautiful specimens. Very rarely
encountered and a spectacular display for the office
of some lucky collector. $600.
$5, Series 1923, Fr. 282. Same variety as above. A
beautifully flawless note with nice even borders.
Ser # * 1 5388D, a STAR NOTE, very rare. Ex
Philpott. $250.

A sharp, pleasingly clear note free from any serious
defects. $350.
$10, Series 1880, Bruce-Wyman, Fr. 289. The least
expensive of a rare and beautiful series without the
countersigned signatures. How long has it been
since this rarity has been offered in this crisp Uncir-
culated condition? $450.
$10, Series 1886, Rosecrans-Hyatt, Fr. 293. A crisp,
well-centered specimen of a rare note practically
never obtainable in Uncirculated condition. $375.
$20, Series 1880, Bruce-Wyman, Fr. 311. A choice
Very Fine example waiting for some discerning
collector. $250.
$20, Series 1880, Bruce-Wyman, Fr. 312. Small seal
at bottom and without the -XX - of preceding note.
A nice, clean, acceptable Very Fine. $450.
$20, Series 1886, Rosecrans-Nebeker, Fr. 315. A rare
signature combination. A choice Very Fine note that
seldom makes an appearance. It will not be soon
that you will see its equal. $450.
$50, Series 1880, Rosecrans-Nebeker, Fr. 329. A rare
combination and companion to the above note al-
though slightly inferior, being conservatively graded
as Very Fine. $1,175.
$50, Series 1891, Parker-Burke, Fr. 335. An Uncir-
culated example with 1 minor fold. A very rare
series and a note that will afford its new owner
much pleasure.
TREASURY OR COIN NOTES
Sl, Series 1890, Rosecrans-Huston, Fr. 347. A choice
crisp, well-centered note, difficult to find in this
Uncirculated state.
$1, Series 1890, Ros
panion to the spec
ecrans-Nebeker, Fr. 349. A com-
specimen above. Same choice uncir-
culated condition.
$5, Series 1890, Rosecrans-Nebeker, Fr. 361.
CUT
SHEET of four beautiful, crisp uncirculated notes.
Rare as singles, many times more so as a sheet.
It
is doubtful if they could be duplicated.
$2,000.
$10, Series 1890, Rosecrans-Nebeker, Fr. 367. Nearly
Extra Fine, the opportunity for a collector not willing
to spend $500 to $600 on an uncirculated specimen. $425.
$10, Series 1891, Bruce-Roberts, Fr. 371. Crisp Uncir-
culated, marred only by slight counting smudge. The
lowest priced note of this design. Well worth the
price of
$20, Series 1890, Rosecrans-Nebeker, Fr. 374. A
superb crisp note, as new appearing as the day it
came from the presses. It leaves nothing to be de-
sired. Exceedingly rare. $1,250.
$20, Series 1891, Tillman-Morgan, Fr. 375. Con-
servatively graded as Very Fine. Much rarer than
Friedberg price would indicate. $1,000.
FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES AND
BANK NOTES
$50, Series 1918, Fr. 831. St. Louis. The only bank
that issued the $50. Friedberg catalogs 62 pieces
outstanding but other authorities state only 25 are
still existent. Rare in either count. This specimen
is strictly Crisp Uncirculated. $3,300.
$1,000, Series 1918, Fr. 1133. A spectacular note
in Crisp Uncirculated condition. A specimen worthy

WESTPORT CURRENCY ALBUMS
A revolutionary and improved system of housing,
protecting and displaying your collection!
The Westport Currency Album consists of a deluxe, custom-
made loose-leaf binder and page units designed to arrange,
display and protect large and small-size paper money.
Each page unit, except $1 FRN block number sets which are
not illustrated, contains illustrated pages together with our
superior crystal-clear plastic mounts.
Pages of heavy, 80 lb. fine-finish soil resistant stock are
crisply printed on one side only.
Page units are available to house a wide variety of paper
money as outlined below.
Pages for specific sets of notes contain vital data on each issue
such as series, signatures, years of issue, quantity produced
and number of known block numbers.
Exclusive, heavy-duty mounts are as easy to use as placing
a stamp on an envelope. Once mounted with the full-length
strip of self-adhering tape, the holder is permanently at-
tached to the page but the bill it houses may be changed
or viewed from front or back at will.
Our custom made gold titled loose-leaf binder permits easy
insertion or changing of pages which lie flat when the album
is open. Contoured plastic sheet lifters guide pages as album
is opened or closed.

RHODE ISLAND OBSOLETE NOTES
It gives me great pleasure to be able to offer you what is no doubt the most extensive listing of R.I. notes to appear on the market
at one time. These notes are one of a kind, as they are from a research and reference collection. Each piece represents the finest
that several years of seeking, and many lines of correspondence could acquire. All notes are signed and dated unless indicated by
U/S=unsigned or U/D=undated. Much effort has been made to describe and price the notes accurately. All items are shipped
postpaid, insured. Be sure and take advantage of the schedule of discount, which applies to this list only.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH
How Social Factors Can Affect A Nation's Currency?
IF NOT - READ THE NEW BOOK
GOLD COINS FOR FINANCIAL SURVIVAL
BY W. W. TURNER
Life Member A.N.A.
Here is a new and timely book on the subjects of fiat money, gold and
gold coins-224 pages (hard covers) with 69 pages of remarkable photo-
graphs. Although gold was not one of man's necessities, it has fascinated
him since the earliest times. This work covers the long history of gold and
money and shows how to best collect and invest in gold coins.
The world is now faced with a perennial monetary crisis. There will
be those who will be wiped out financially and others who will profit from
the confusion and unsettled monetary conditions. An in-depth knowledge
of the underlying fundamentals of credit currency, gold and gold coins is
absolutely essential to financial survival under such circumstances. Anyone
who is interested in the subjects of gold and money will especially enjoy
reading and studying this book. It is equally valuable for the dealer, collector
and investor.
Only $7.95 per copy at your favorite dealer's, or from

seems to be the thing these days. Well,
we're not perfect but according to the ma-
jority of our clients, we're way ahead of
most of 'em. Our latest ten-page compre-
hensive price list of large and small bills is
yours for the asking.
We are also buyers of collections, accumula-
tions and hoards of U.S. paper money. Yes,
like everybody else we want scarce and in-
teresting Nationals and choice new large-
size notes, but we will buy it all-the not-so-
popular along with the very popular.

Connecticut Proof Notes OBSOLETE CURRENCY
It gives me exceptional pleasure to be able to
offer the following excessively rare Connecticut
proof notes:
A Set of Eight Notes on the
City Bank of New Haven
The bank was incorporated in May 1831, opened
for business in June 1832, and finally merged with
the National New Haven Bank in August 1915.
The notes no doubt represent the first issue of the
bank's notes. The denominations are: $1, 2, 3, 5,
10, 20, 50, 100. Each piece has various allegorical
representations and a view of the Village Green in
New Haven. Seldom if ever does such an op-
portunity arrive to purchase a set of Proof Notes
such as these, from any bank, any state. They
carry the imprint of Draper, Underwood, Bald &
Spencer, and N&S.S Jocelyn. They are affixed
to paper from an old album page. The price is
only $1,000.00
