Onset IN 1907, a "money panic" occurred in the United States as a result of the failure of several New York trust companies. The consequent public distrust of financial institutions threatened a run on the Eastern banks which caused these banks to place an embargo on currency shipments elsewhere until a state of nor- malcy returned. This period has been called "The Rich Man's Panic," because there was no significant decline in general business activity. A severe currency shortage did result in the Western states, however, and emergency mea- sures were necessitated. On October 28, the representatives of the banks which belonged to the Portland Clearing House Association of Portland, Oregon, met and decided that the governor of Oregon should be requested to declare a legal holi- day in order to forestall a possible run on the Portland banks by depositors. It was arranged that as many of the members of the Clearing House as possible would travel to the capitol in Salem during the evening of the 28th to argue the banks' position, and the following letter was presented to the governor by one of the banks' repre- sentatives: "In view of the strained financial situation through- out the United States, which has resulted in concerted action by the leading Clearing Houses of the country suspending the shipment of coin, thus rendering it im- possible for the banks of the State of Oregon to con- tinue in the exercise of their functions. The Associated Banks of the City of Portland respectfully request your excellency to declare a legal holiday throughout the State of Oregon during the 29th, 30th and 31st of October, 1907, and during the 1st and 3d of November, 1907, deeming such action absolutely necessary to pre- serve the credit and good name of the State of Oregon." That evening Governor Chamberlain issued a proc- lamation declaring a legal holiday. Few banks in Portland closed, however, but -they did use the holiday as an excuse to limit withdrawals in order to ration cash flow. One competitive bank, the German-American Bank, used the occasion to enhance its advertising campaign by declaring pugnaciously that the only holi- days they recognized were "the Fourth of july. Christmas, and Chinese New Year." B. Wheat Money In order to meet the crisis head-on during the holi- day, the representatives of the banks quickly resolved to issue certificates of deposit in denominations of $1,000.00 and $5,000.00 to facilitate intra-bank trans- actions, and Clearing House Certificates in denomina- tions of $5.00, $10.00 and $20.00 to facilitate the ordinary business transactions of the public. The Clearing House Certificates were secured by negotiable instruments representing "wheat, grain, canned fish, lumber actually sold," etc. Hence, the name "Wheat Money" came into being. The first two institutions which applied for the relief offered by "Wheat Money" were turned down. First, the Title Guarantee & Trust Company was thought to be unstable and was advised to liquidate; and second. French & Co. was turned down because the Clearing House finally decided to distribute certificates through member banks exclusively. The November 3rd issue of the Oregon Journal re- ported that the Clearing House Certificates could be secured with ease because Oregon farmers had produced a bumper crop of wheat during the summer of 1907, and wheat prices were remaining stable during the crisis period. The banks, news media and government campaigned vigorously to quiet public fears over the crisis, and three First issue $5.00 note. b+ re• ,9 /Wei,/ re tri1/1 Irim a,/ 0771 tr t/ or /t pm, d Mr bark /irreg.'

Second issue note, reverse. days after the issuance of the first Wheat Money on November 6th. 8300,000.00 worth of Certificates were circulating and deposits in the Portland banks actually increased. The public's ready acceptance of the new paper money induced the Clearing House to issue certificates in $1.00 and $2.00 denominations on an undetermined date shortly after the issuance of the higher denominations. Clearing House records and the few examples of scrip which exist for inspection indicate that there were two separate issues of notes with distinctly different designs. There are no examples of the first issue known to the author but there is a picture of the first issue $5.00 note in the November 6, 1907, Portland Oregonian. This picture was used for Illustration No. 1. The design of the second issue notes is radically dif- ferent from the first, as can he seen by comparing Illus- tration No. 2 with Illustration No. 1. The second series notes contain the same statement of purpose on its reverse (see Illustration No. 3) as is found on the obverse of the first series notes (see Illustration No. 1). It is interesting to observe that different printing companies printed the obverse and reverse of the second series notes. The Irwin-Hodson Co. of Portland printed the obverse, and Bushong & Co. Litho. of Portland printed the reverse. C. Return to Normalcy The crisis was short-lived, which indicates the truth in the characterization of the period as "The Rich Man's Crisis." On December 10, 1907, a special meeting of the Clear- ing House representatives was held, and it was decided to resume transactions in gold and gold certificates on the next day. On August 18, 1908, an accounting of the redeemed emergency scrip was made and all but $2,647.00 worth of the certificates were found to have been redeemed, and in 1933 it was reported that the Clearing House was still receiving notes for redemption. 131561 PORTLAN1) ..-41:11‘111Ntilfol7SEASS0(4c:8414.)N • • W11,1 PAN' TO ftE,stitat •.• • • • I.

II. The Crisis of 1933 The Winter of 1933 was a time of frustration, for the United States was in the midst of its most serious depres- sions and the Hoover administration had been unable to cope with the growing crisis. More than five thousand banks had failed since the beginning of the depression and the inaction of the Hoover administration toward the end of its term caused more and more bank depositors to convert to cash. The pressure on financial institutions resulted in the declara- tion of bank holidays throughout the country. Governor Meier of Oregon declared a bank holiday on March 2nd in his state. The Portland Clearing House Association met in the afternoon of that day and decided to keep the banks open on a limited basis in order to deal with emergency situations. It was also suggested that preparations should be made for the issuance of Clearing House scrip to facilitate business transactions and prevent the outflow of cash from the banks when the holiday ended. A Clearing House representative who had participated in the 1907 scrip effort was called upon to explain the system to the other members. The plan met with a favorable response but was subject to the approval of the federal banking authorities. Preparations went ahead in the event that the plan was sanctioned. A trustee was appointed to receive security and issue certificates, an application form for scrip was drafted for member banks, and the Irwin-Hodson Corn- pany of Portland was again called upon to print the certificates. A total of $1,000,000.00 worth of certificates was initially printed in denominations of $1.00, $5.00, $10.00 and $20.00. The designs for each denomination were identical ex- cept for the amount. The certification of purpose on the reverse was simplified from the 1907 version even though the same kinds of security were intended to secure the certificates. The contrast between the 1933 and 1907 notes reflects several changes in the overall design of banknotes in the U. S., such as in the smaller size of the 1933 variety and the exclusive use of en- graved and mechanically produced signatures on the later certificates. On the other hand, the appearance of the Seal of the State of Oregon on the lower border of the 1933 design would seem more appropriate to the earlier period when identity with one's particular state was presumably more intense. (See Illustration No. The 1933 Clearing House certificates were never is- sued, however, because on March 8th, four days after his inauguration. President Roosevelt's banking and PACE 174 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 44 monetary reform program was passed by Congress, and the need for the emergency scrip ended. The final notation in the Clearing House records con- cerning the scrip was to the effect that a few sets would be cancelled for souvenir purposes while the remainder would be destroyed. As a result of this farsighted decision, a few examples of this unissued but historically interesting scrip have been handed down through the families of bank execu- tives to the present.

Schwartz S INCE the $1.00 Federal Reserve Note came intoexistence in 1963, replacing the $1.00 Silver Certif- icate, there have been printed seven different series of notes with different combinations of signatures. Now with a new Secretary of the Treasury, George Shultz, replacing John B. Connally, there will be eight series. These changes have made paper money collecting stimulating and interesting and have helped considerably to drive some bank tellers crazy. Some of the early Federal. Reserve one dollar notes are today selling for as high as fifty dollars. If you started collecting in 1963 and have kept up with your hobby, you already have $241.00 face value in notes on hand, assuming you collected all the notes with their various suffixes and the star notes. This is not considering the series that will be issued with the new Secretary Shultz and is assuming that the 1969C series will be issued by all Districts and that star notes will also be issued from all the Districts. It is very likely that, since the 1969C series was a continuation of the 1969B series, the 1969C series will probably have another 12 notes added to whatever suffix in which they first appeared. So we can see this is getting to be quite a costly collection. The Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing announced that the Shultz-Banuelos notes are already off the press but that banks would not receive them before September. Of course, you don't have to collect all the suffixes from a District; you might be satisfied collecting only one suffix for each series and the star notes for each series, or if you desire, only one of each series from each Dis- trict. Still cheaper, of course, is collecting one note with each signature change from only one District; this would total only eight notes. If you want a signature note for each series from the same District, it might be observed that this can be ac- complished only from five Districts, since the 1963B ( Barr series) was only printed in District B, E, G, J and I. NewYork, Richmond, Chicago, Kansas City and San Francisco, respectively. Star signature notes would be further limited to only four Districts, as there were no stars printed in the J (Kansas City) District in the 1963B series. I have heard the comment rather often that the signa- ture of Dorothy Andrews Elston and Dorothy Andrews Kabis seemed so much alike. They should be, since they were one and the same person. In September 1970, Mrs. Elston was married to Walter L. Kabis. Her signature was changed to "Dorothy Andrews Kabis" on the 1969A series of Federal Reserve Notes. This is the first time in history that the same person's signature changed while in office. Mrs. Kabis died suddenly on July 3, 1971. It is interesting to note that although we have had eight different series and combinations of names yet we have had only four different Treasurers and six different Secretaries of the Treasury. I hope this resume on the so-called facts about the $1.00 Federal Reserve Note will be of value to our new collectors and not too boring to the so-called "old pros." Also, while a series generally starts with the suffix A number "00000001," we have these exceptions in various Districts with reference to the 1963B, 1969A and 1969C series: The 1963B series did not start with the A suffix in the following districts: it started in New York with G suffix; Richmond F suffix: Chicago H suffix; Kansas City C suffix: and San Francisco with F suffix. The 1969A series had New York starting with C suf- fix; Cleveland B; Richmond C; Atlanta B; Chicago D; Dallas B and San Francisco C. From all indications the 1969C series will have the New York District starting with D; Philadelphia B; Richmond B: Atlanta B: Chicago C; Dallas B and San Francisco C. At the present writing, July 24, 1972, it appears that star notes are having a hard time keeping up with the regular series. At this time, as far as I know, there are no series 1969A District I star or J star notes, series 1969B District I star notes. and no 1969C star notes from (Continued on Page 186) Cti9ZT013 AV.1111.11711111•11i.161. 1114 Mt 141111WNITEllt4T.ITE.441NEHIII1 THE 1141111 Nil** um .mou.tus VIE:1140-1► ":" THE MILLIKIN NATIONAL BANK Of oA DECATUR 'WHO* FIVE IHILIAIIS C000001A - .,,AtkatoW C001001A .4wit;i007.).0A1,TATE1.411tAyEcto4 111111 OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION SAN FRANCISCO GUMMI.

Sipe's Note By Arthur Sipe Sipesville, Pennsylvania is a small community located in the southwestern part of the state north of Somerset. It was founded by Michael Sipe, who was born in Meyers- dale, Pa. in 1795 and died in 1885. In 1816, he settled in Somerset Township, purchased a tract of land and developed a successful farm in addition to pursuing his trade as a carpenter. In 1843, he opened a general store, and it was in this area that Sipesville had its beginnings and gradually grew up around the store. Being on the Johnstown turnpike, it was for many years the chief business point of what is now Lincoln Township. About 1853, Peter Sipe, who was born in 1831, a son of Michael and the seventh of 11 children, became owner of the store. In addition to the general store, he operated several farms, was a devout member of the Democratic Party, the German Reformed Church and the Knights of the Golden Eagle of Sipesville. He held numerous town- ship offices and was appointed county auditor. He conducted the store from 1853 to 1888, when he sold it to his two sons, Harry L. and William F. Sipe, after having been in trade over 30 years. The store remained in the hands of some member of the Sipe family until 1906. The fifty cent note pictured here indicates Sipesville, Pa. with the date Dec. 25th, 1862; it was due the bearer, payable on demand Fifty Cents, when presented in sums of one dollar. This note was issued by P. Sipe & Casebeer for use in the general store and probably elsewhere if it would be accepted as legal tender. My branch of the Sipe family settled in York County, Pa. in the latter part of the eighteenth century. REFERENCES Bradford and Somerset Counties, by The Hon. Wm. H.

In addition to the transmission of messages and the conveyance of goods between one person and another. Postal Services have usually been responsible for the transfer of money from one place to another. Until the latter part of the 19th century, such transfers were ef- fected in such a way that bank notes were dispatched in so-called money letters or in packages, but later postal money orders were introduced. This was a great im- provement, for it made the transfer of money both cheaper and quicker. In Austria in 1883, a postal "Giro" service was started and this resulted in an even greater saving of time and money. At the same time, the method was more con- venient for customers, who no longer needed to go in person to a Post Office if, instead, they opened a Postal Giro Account. They could simply have transfers made to other accounts and arrange for cash payments both inward and outward. The Postal Giro Service spread rapidly, and it exists nowadays in more than 40 coun- tries, including the whole of Scandinavia and most parts of Western Europe, where it everywhere enjoys enormous popularity. WHOLE NO. 44 Paper Money PAGE 177 Counterfeiting of First Charter National Bank Notes By William P. Koster AS explained in a previous article in this series, thefirst paper money issued by the United States government appeared during the Civil War emergency. Congress was at first reluctant to authorize the print- ing and circulation of paper currency because of the widespread counterfeiting of state bank issues of paper, which were then in circulation. Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase assured Congress, however, that the federal currency would be well protected against counter- feiting because of unique design features. Ultimately, authority to print money was granted. The first issues of paper money were the Demand Notes of 1861, followed by the Legal Tender issues of 1862 and 1863. Interest Bearing Notes, which circulated to a limited degree, also appeared during this period. After the early issues of Legal Tender notes were in circulation, it was decided to issue a type of currency to replace the paper issues of state banks. Such a currency issue, "redeemable" at local banks, would also provide a ready market for federal revenue bonds. With this in mind, the National Banking Act was formulated and ultimately passed by Congress in 1863. By means of this Act, large additional sums of money were available to the Treasury for fighting the Civil War then in progress. The first National Bank Notes were released to the public in December, 1863. The total amount in circulation was barely more than $30,000 in January, 1864, but in- creased to over $67 million by January, 1865. The National Bank Notes served as the backbone of circulat- ing paper currency in the United States from that period until the development of the Federal Reserve System aproximately 50 years later. In preparing notes for the first National Bank issues it was recognized that the original Legal Tender note designs were not as "counterfeit proof" as the assurances of Secretary Chase to the Congress would have had one believe. The first and most dangerous counterfeit of this early series was of the $50 Legal Tender note bear- ing the profile of Alexander Hamilton. This note was very well copied and rather widely passed. Copies of other Legal Tender notes, particularly the $5 and $100 denominations, also appeared. With adequate incen- tive, therefore, the National Bank Note designs were made substantially more ornate and detailed, hence more difficult to copy, than the Legal Tender issues. Readers will recall, as explained previously, that the only really effective means of counterfeiting notes in this era was by the hand-engraving of copies duplicating the real thing as closely as possible. Therefore, the more com- plex and ornate the design of the currency, the more difficult and hopefully more discouraging is the counter- feiter's job. The original authorization for the National Bank Note issues specified that the notes be executed in three sep- arate printing processes at three different locations, in addition to validation (affixing of Treasury seal and serial numbers). It further specified that a two-color reverse of the note be one of the design features. In this way, it was intended that the employees of one of the printing contractors involved would be unable to print unauthorized notes for their own use since no one group would have access to all of the plates required. Standard banknote paper was used for these early issues. Collectors today recognize that the National Bank Notes of the first charter period are, as a group, the most beautiful, intricate, and ornate series ever issued by the United States. Contrary to the hopes and expecta- tions of Treasury officials, however, counterfeits began to appear, and surprisingly good ones at that. Historical records concentrate primarily on the efforts of those who spent the hundreds and perhaps thousands of man-hours necessary to engrave copies of the early National issues. Undoubtedly, crude photocopies and other forms of counterfeiting were attempted but engraving stands alone (in the 1860 1870 era) as the only dangerous threat to the integrity of our paper currency. One of the earliest (and perhaps most dangerous) counterfeits of National Currency to appear was of the $100 note on the First National Bank of Boston. This note, in many details, was a surprisingly good engraved copy of the original. Figure 1 shows comparative sections of the face of this particular issue. Figure la shows a portion of the counterfeit vignette of Commodore Perry abandoning his ship in the Battle of Lake Erie. Figure lb shows a view of the same area taken from a genuine note. At the magnification of approximately 2X shown in these figures, the high quality of this counterfeit is quite apparent. In making the comparison at higher magnification, as shown in Figures le and ld, the shortcomings of the counterfeit are more obvious. The counterfeit engraving is composed of heavier and at the same time sharper lines than used in the original engraving. It can also be seen at this magnification, about 7X, that the counterfeit shows more outlining of the various subjects than the genuine, which produces a higher contrast image. To many ob- servers the counterfeit would seem to be the higher quality engraving! It would be difficult for the average layman, and even many bank tellers, to determine that this counterfeit was in fact counterfeit merely by studying the note alone. The greatest assurance for determining whether one was counterfeit would be to compare the bank- note under suspicion to one which was known to be genuine. A portion of the top border of this banknote in comparison with its genuine counterpart is shown in Figures le and 1 f. Note the very high quality of the engraving of the counter- feit in comparison to the genuine also present in this area of the note. This $100 bill, when finally traced to its source, was at- tributed to the skills of George Ulrich. Ulrich is recorded in history as one of the most competent and dangerous counterfeiters of United States currency. 1 (a) counterfeit 1 (b) genuine 1 (c) counterfeit 1 (d) genuine I (e) counterfeit 1 (f) genuine PAGE 178 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 44 Fig. 1.

The part of the $100 note shown in Figure 2c is George Ulrich's; compare it to the quality of the lathe work shown in the genuine, Figure 2d. It can be readily seen that Ulrich's lathe work compares much more closely to the quality of the genuine than does that of the counterfeit $10 and $20 notes illustrated in Figures 2a and b, which are the work of other counterfeiters. Note that in the genuine engraving, Figure 2d, the lathe work consists of a continuous pattern of overlapping smooth, curved lines produced by a precision engraving machine. In the counterfeit impressions, the lathe work varies from slightly irregular curved lines (2c) to a relatively crude sawtooth pattern (2a) which is probably a hand-engraved job. One can readily understand why the Ulrich $100 counterfeit issue was considered so dangerous by federal authorities. Perhaps the most obvious shortcoming of Ulrich's $100 bill is to be found on the reverse, in the engraving of the American eagle found at the right side of the note. In the counterfeit, the throat and head of the eagle are posi- tively defined by an engraved line as may be seen in Figure 3a. In the genuine engraving, 3b, the outline of the eagle's head and throat is formed merely by the ends of the back- ground lines. This specific type of fault is frequently found on forged engravings .. . it was a time saver for the engraver and was sometimes used to cover for a lack of skill. At one time or another, all of the National Bank Note denominations from $1 to $100 were falsified. Corn- parison of questionable notes to those which were known to he genuine was the most reliable means for detecting a counterfeit. Genuine notes, however, would vary slightly from plate to plate or series to series as a result of transfer differences and die retouching. Differences can also be seen between notes because of different degrees of inking, which was a hand process. A close examination of the pioneer family vignette ap- pearing on the $5 Legal Tender issues from 1869 through the series of 1907 will show a number of small detail changes. These may be attributed to reworking and re- tooling of engraving dies over a span of several decades. In all cases known to the author, variations in the genuine engravings are much smaller than differences between genuine engravings and counterfeit copies, making detec- tion by comparison a reliable procedure. As an illustra- tion of this, Figure 4 shows a series of vignettes of Co- lumbia from the $20 National Bank Note series. Figure 4a is a counterfeit impression of a note on the Fourth Na- tional Bank of New York which appeared in 1865; Figure 4b is from a genuine $20 note of the original issue. Figure 4c shows the same portion of a bank note printed several years later, series of 1875. Figure 4d is a close-up of the same vignette of a $20 brownback dated 1895. To the inexperienced, the counterfeit bill was a reasonably good copy and would probably have been easily accepted by the unwary during the 19th century. In comparing the three genuine vignettes, it can be seen that slight differences indicating retooling of the dies are present.

Vignettes of Columbia from $20 National Bank Notes showing plate variations in hair treatment, eye and chin shading as well as shoulder and flag outlining may be seen. These differences are small, however, and not confusable with differences between genuine and counterfeit. Another illustration presented in this article is of the vignette of Liberty found on the $100 National Bank Note. A counterfeit impression from a note issued by the First National Bank of Philadelphia is shown in Figure 5a. A genuine impression is shown in Figure 5b. At this magnification, differences are obvious, although to the unaided eye, the copy is a good one. The most telltale fault of the counterfeit is the veil over Liberty's head. This veil is outlined much like a child's drawing, typical of the shortcuts taken by counterfeiters. In contrast, the outline of this veil in the genuine vignette is achieved by different shadings of the background, indicating an overall higher degree of engraving skill and quality. A small part of the engraving on the reverse of this same $10 note is shown in Figure 6. In this Figure, 6a illustrates the counterfeit impression. Figure 6b shows the same portion from a genuine note. A similar com- parison is made of the $20 First Charter Note in Figure 7. In both of these, the typical differences in quality are evident when viewed at the magnification shown, approxi- mately 4X. The lathe work shown in Figures 2a and b of the reverse of the counterfeit $10 and $20 notes looks particularly poor in these illustrations as viewed at 6X. To the unaided or inexperienced eye, however, these counterfeit engravings would be considered very good copies of the real thing. They must have been . . . they were widely accepted by the public when first placed in circulation. Other interesting comparisons of these notes could he made but space does not permit. For instructional pur- 4 (c) genuine 4 (d) genuine 5 (a) counterfeit 5 (b) genuine WHOLE NO. 44 Paper Money PAGE 181 Fig. 5. Liberty vignette from $10 National Bank Notes poses, it may be said that the easiest and most certain way of detecting counterfeits of this era is by comparison of vignettes with those which are known to be genuine. Lacking the availability of a note for comparison, the lathe work, such as shown in Figure 2, is probably the best means of identification or at least raising suspicion regarding a counterfeit. Another point must be considered. The illustrations shown here are of new or nearly new bank notes. The counterfeit impressions are from one of Heath's counter- feit detectors, which again are in essentially new condi- tion. Once a note has seen significant amounts of circu- lation, the characteristics of the counterfeit become more difficult to detect. The extreme sharpness of outlines, such as shown in Figures la, lc, 5a, and 6a, become softened and difficult to separate from the genuine. Un- doubtedly, counterfeiters would artificially "circulate" the notes by rubbing them with sand or otherwise pro- ducing a worn condition before attempting to pass them. Passing a "well used" note avoided suspicion as well as making detection difficult. During the post-Civil War era, the number of counter- feits in circulation continued to grow. In 1867, it was estimated that as much as 1/3 of all paper money in cir- culation was counterfeit. In an attempt to. cope with this problem the Treasury Department set up the United States Secret Service specifically for the purpose of stamping out counterfeiting. In addition, Treasury De- partment personnel developed an entire new issue of pa- per currency incorporating designs and other features in- tended to increase the security of paper currency against counterfeiting.

WHOLE NO. 44 Paper Money PAGE 183 CODAId ePapsvz 91 1ansui .at audian T HE long-established prestigious philatelic firm of Stanley Gibbons Ltd. of London has entered the numismatic field with special emphasis on bank note col- lecting. In addition to coining the somewhat dubious term "notaphily" to describe our hobby, it has initiated a regular schedule of numismatic auctions. Thus far in 1972 three sales have been held, complete with elaborate illustrated catalogs punctuated with color. In the June 21-22nd sale, one of the rarest world bank notes, the Palestine Currency Board one hundred pound note of 1927, sold for one thousand one hundred pounds. The note, in English, Arabic and Hebrew, was printed by Thomas De La Rue of London and depicts the Crusader's Tower at Ramleh on the front and the Tower of David at Jerusalem on the reverse. It is rare because the Israelis cut most of them in half to. avoid insurance when they were shipped to England to be redeemed for sterling. Only two examples of the com- plete note are known. The other is in a private collec- tion. The Gibbon's sales are strong in British material, par- ticularly in 19th century proofs of notes printed by the various British firms, and the older, classic-type notes. The catalogs, useful for reference, are available for two pounds for the 1973-74 season, including lists of prices realized, from Stanley Gibbons Auctions Ltd., Drury House, Russell St., London WC2B 5HD. eXciltlighlh Phic.c.3 dikalipd ai X.inq Jaitauk - C.

Since prices are fixed by supply and demand, this sale will probably be the best practical indicator of realistic price levels for world notes for some time to come. It is interesting to observe that a good portion of the notes sold went to dealers, presumably with resale in mind. Argentina brought relatively good prices for all of the provincial issues and many of the national issues. It appears that interest in Argentina is substantial, but that knowledge concerning the series is less dispersed than for other countries. Pre-1911 issues of Bolivia were generally strong and brought acceptable prices throughout the series. In some cases the prices for the 1928 and 1945 series were some- what weak, possibly due to the fact that a new catalog on this country is due out soon and many people would like to wait and see what "catalog" prices will be for the series. A set of Specimen notes of the 1962 issues realized the estimated price of $50 in stiff floor competi- tion. A rare 1911, 1 Boliviano note realized the esti- mated price of $200, again against strong competition. Floor bidders from Canada, the United States and Germany took a large proportion of the Brazilian notes, with particular interest in the early issues. The entire series tended to carry prices with a high degree of cor- relation to the estimates. Some exceptions were observed, of course. A Banca Da Republica Do Brazil 10 Mil Reis note estimated at $15 brought $50. Some weakness was seen, for certain of the post-1920 notes. Cuban notes were a surprise to almost all except the few informed Cuban specialists in the audience. Lot No. 359, 5 Pesos of 1869, Sten C895b, estimated at $75, sold for $200. Lot No. 367, 3 Pesos of 1872, Sten C898a, estimated at $75, sold for $300. Several other Cuban notes sold in the $100 to $200 range, with almost all of them being bid against extremely stiff floor com- petition. A rare Dominican Republic note, Lot No. 391, Ayun- tamiento de la Vega, ("City Hall of La Vega" ). 20 Cen- tavos of 28 July 1899, brought its estimated price of $175. The floor bidding on this particular note started at $120. Many of the Dominican notes brought prices appreciably above estimates. Dominican notes of all periods showed considerable strength. The notes of Haiti proved to be particularly popular and brought estimated prices or over in most cases. Central American notes were particularly popular. Many notes of Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala sold above estimates. Lot #809, 5 Pesos, Banco de Panama, 1892, realized $250. As a general rule the South American notes did quite well. Among the strongest were notes of Venezuela. Uruguay and certain notes of Colombia. Besides ex- amples already mentioned, some of the highlights were Lot No. 1037, Uruguay 5 Pesos of 1930, which sold for $115. Most of the 20th century notes of Venezuela brought about 20% over estimated prices. The early Venezuelan notes generally only brought about half of estimated price but were avidly sought at those levels. In non-Latin American notes almost all lots brought realistic prices. One outstanding example was Lot No. 595, Gov't. of Jamaica 5 Shilling, Law of 1904 and 1918, in about Extra Fine condition, which brought $170.

Many feel that the potential of most of these items is quite good, as they will all have a pedigree which is easily traceable to this sale which to date has surpassed any other foreign paper money sale in the history of numismatics. In view of hundreds of requests for the catalogs after the sale, the auctioneers have anounced that some copies remain. The cost of the catalog is $2, with a copy of the prices realized being another dollar. With 84 full- size, 8 1A by 11 pages, including 24 full-size glossy pages of plates, it is well worth adding to any numismatic library. The second volume with coins, tokens and medals of the world is the same price as the paper money volume. The auctioneers may be addressed at Alman- zar's. Milam Building, San Antonio, Texas 78205.

Some believe that the Honorable Charles Vernon Culver, the senior partner of the firm, was a confidence man and bilked numerous investors through fraud, while others are of the opinion that his business ventures were of such complicated magnitude that he overextended his capabilities and the collapse of his empire was inevitable. The Hon. C. V. Culver was one of the most remarkable men the oil country has produced and was the central figure in the first and largest financial disaster in the Pennsylvania oil regions. He was a man of vast ideas and possessed a personality so strong that he found no difficulty in interesting leading bankers, statesmen and financiers of the country in his financial ventures. These included building a city, a railroad, securing mammoth dock property at Weehawken, N. J. on the New York waterfront, and organizing one of the most remarkable oil companies of that day. He also established a chain of banks that extended from New York to the Pennsylva- nia oil towns and on into Ohio. It is believed that the partners of Culver Penn & Co. first met while attending the 1849-1850 school term at Ohio Wesleyan University. At this time they formed a friendship that lasted their entire lives. Culver quit school and went into the banking business with his father at Logan, Ohio. John Roby Penn. the junior partner of the firm, attended the 1849-1850 and 1850- 1851 terms. He then continued his education at Oberlin College. After leaving school, Penn went to New York, where he taught bookkeeping for a few years. He then left this position and worked in New York banking h ouses. After he left school, Culver married Mary Elizabeth Austin. On March 27. 1861, Mr. and Mrs. Culver pur- chased from Charles Waldo several lots between Pine Alley and Walnut Street in Oil City. Still in 1861, Culver and Penn for a brief period engaged in oil operations on the Joy Farm on Federal Creek in Ohio, but banking and shipping of petroleum appealed more strongly to their business instincts than the producing portion of the then pioneer business. So they went to New York, where they established the banking firm of Culver Penn & Co. In May of 1861, Culver went to Meadville, Pa.. and purchased the charter of the then unsound Bank of Craw- ford County. He redeemed most of the old issue notes and put the hank hack into a sound condition. From there Culver went on to Franklin, Pa.; with Franklin residents F. D. Kinnear, J. S. Myers, Samuel B. Fay and State Senator Thomas Hoge, he established the Venango Bank in 1862. F. D. Kinnear was elected president and Stralko Culver's brother-in-law, James S. Austin, was appointed cashier. Mr. Culver then founded the Culver Bank on Main Street in Oil City. Later this bank was moved to the corner of Center and Seneca Streets and renamed the Oil City Bank. John Eddy was appointed cashier and C. Heydrick was elected president. In addition to these banks, Culver established the Petroleum Bank at Titusville, Pa. and the A. D. Cotton Bank at Petroleum Centre, Pa.; other banks in Pennsylva- nia, Ohio and New York became affiliated with this chain. In all there were about 18 to 20 banks, all of which made deposits with Culver Penn & Co. in New York. The magnitude of the business done may be judged by the fact that when the banking firm of Morris Ketchum & Co. of New York failed, Culver Penn & Co. succeeded to the distinction of being the heaviest bank- ing firm in the United States and was considered one of the soundest. At this time Culver's popularity was so great that it enabled him to get elected to Congress. When the con- ferrees of Clarion, Crawford, Mercer and Venango Counties found that a hitch developed in the county nominations, they selected him as the harmonizing candidate representing the 20th or "Petroleum District". Culver won out on the Republican ticket over William L. Corbett of Clarion County and served the 1865-1867 term. The plans of Culver Penn & Co. were far geater than just establishing a banking firm.

Culver and ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives Galusha A. Grow from Glen- wood, Pa. were busy purchasing properties along the Allegheny river midway between Franklin and Oil City. In all they purchased 1,200 acres. Here they founded a city and named it Reno in honor of Venango County's Gen. Jesse L. Reno, who had an illustrious military career in the Mexican and Civil wars. As a brigadier general he served under Ambrose E. Burnside and was killed in the battle at South Mountain. The new city of Reno started to build up rapidly; homes and businesses sprang up overnight. The officers of the Venango Bank started to build the Reno Oil Creek and Pithole Railroad. This road was projected to run to the fabulous boom town of Pithole City for the pur- pose of draining the oil from that fertile field. The famed Civil War general, Ambrose E. Burnside, was elected president of the railroad and was in charge of the construction. In order to gain more publicity for the "Reno Oil & Land Co." project, Culver ran a free excursion for over 200 financiers, statesmen and newsmen through the oil region. The excursion was well advertised, for the follow- ing people became associated with the company: President, Galusha A. Grow, ex-Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives Vice-President, Hon. C. V. Culver, Congressman Directors, Hon. C. R. Ransom of Boston, U. S. Bank Com- missioner for New England. Hon. Sidney Dean, Providence, R. I., late member of Congress and editor of the Providence Press. Henry A. Smythe, president of the Central National Bank. Lucien H. Culver, of Culver Penn & Co., New York. Hon. Augustus Frank, Warsaw, N. Y., member of the House of Representatives. Hon. Thomas S. Stanfield, president of the First Na- tional Bank of Indiana at South Bend. Alexander Bradley, president of the Tradesman Na- tional Bank of Pittsburgh, Pa. Joshua Douglass, president of the National Bank of Crawford County, Pa. Colonel James H. Brown, president of the Third Na- tional Bank of Chicago. George H. Rea, president of the Second National Bank of St. Louis. The Secretary was William Brough and the Treasurer, Robert F. Brooke. Trustees of the Fund were the Hon. John J. Cisco of John J. Cisco & Son, bankers, and late Assistant Treasurer of the United States at New York: and Denning Dues, of James G. King & Sons, bankers in New York. As evidenced by the magnitude of Culver's involve. ment in the Reno project, he found little or no time to properly represent his constituents in Congress. As a result the leading oil producers in the oil regions held a meeting at Titusville, Pa., and adopted resolutions requesting him to either resign his position or go to Washington at once and carry out his official duties. On March 27. 1866, the suspension of Culver Penn & Co. was announced. The banks with which they were affiliated in the oil country collapsed. A few days later it was announced that the liabilities of Culver Penn & Co. were $3,000,000. in addition to the losses suffered by de- positors. The banks affected had a large amount of their notes in circulation. Many of these notes are still showing up today, the most common being the $5 note on the Oil City Bank. Most of these show evidence of having been in contact with the greasy hands of the oil producer, teamster and refiner. When the run was made on the Culver Penn & Co. banks, a large portion of the assets were tied up in an inaccessible form, especially in the railroad project and the many accommodation loans made by these banks as a result of Venango County's disastrous flood of 1864. On the eve prior to the disaster, Gen. Burnside sat in Culver's office. He knew that the firm needed $62.000 to carry it on through another day. This sum the general volunteered and he urged its acceptance on Culver. "No." said Culver, "I cannot give you security for it. If I take it and it will not save us, it is lost to you." The clock struck, banking hours were over. Culver Penn & Company's notes were protested, and the telegraph flashed the news of their failure to every part of the country. An assignment of Culver Penn & Co. was made to Samuel Howard and William Brough. The banking firm was indebted to many persons and corporations: even a partial list would be too lengthy to give here. Culver and James S. Austin, the cashier of the Ven- ango Bank, on May 16. 1866 were arrested at the in- stance of State Senator Thomas Hoge and F. D. Kinnear. Bail to a large amount was furnished and they were re- leased from jail. As soon as they were released charges were placed against Culver by other members of the Venango Bank and again it was necessary to furnish bail. After this release he was again arrested and placed in jail on charges of conspiracy to defraud. All the ac- cusers were officers, directors and investors in both the Venango Bank and the Reno Oil Creek and Pithole Rail- road. Despairing at fighting these and other arrests. which he understood to. be pending, Culver determined that he would seek and accept no more bail but go to jail at once and await trial. The intent of Thomas Hoge and his associates was to punish Culver by keeping him in jail. The local news- papers of that day at first dealt harshly with Culver. Later, after fully analyzing the situation, they determined that the series of round robin arrests was nothing more than vexatious harassment and likened these proceedings to a persecution. In time all the charges against Culver were dropped, save one. While in jail, he wrote a letter to the public in general. Through it he informed those concerned that he alone was responsible for the failure. and he requested that others should not be censured for his poor management of the enterprise. WHOLE NO. 44 Paper Money PAGE 189 Colonel Archibald Blakely of Franklin then came to the rescue of Culver. He went to Washington and brought the matter to the attention of Congress. After a brief consultation, Congress sent the Sergeant at Arms from the House of Representatives to Franklin with a Speaker's warrant for the purpose of obtaining Culver's release on grounds of Congressional immunity. Culver then returned to Reno and with characteristic energy pushed the matter to trial. On Jan. 31, 1867, he appeared with counsel to answer the complaint of Thomas Hoge and John Duffield in the Commonwealth against C. V. Culver and James S. Austin. The trial drew national attention, and many reporters from the larger cities were on hand to observe the pro- ceedings. The trial lasted for about a week. The testi- mony presented entirely concerned the transfer of stocks and bonds to the New York office of Culver Penn & Co. The suit in general charged that the bonds of the Ven- ango Bank were obtained by fraudulent means from the office of the Auditor General at Harrisburg, where according to law they had been deposited. The fact was that for every dollar's worth of bonds taken from the Auditor General's office, duly canceled bills of the bank were returned, and the bonds were only received by Culver for the redemption of those bills. On Feb. 6, 1867, the defendants C. V. Culver and James S. Austin were found "not guilty." After rendering of the verdict the spectators in the overflowing courtroom burst into applause, and it took some time to restore the dignity of the court. That evening it seemed that all the people of Franklin assembled at the Exchange Hotel to congratulate the victors on their acquittal. Today's historians will recognize that Thomas Hoge and his associates of that day compromised the political structure of Venango County, Pa. Most of the directors and investors of the Venango Bank and railroad project were past, incumbent, or future holders of important political offices in the county. Historians of a half-century ago found the Culver Penn & Co. failure worthy of brief mention in their works, usually a short paragraph with a vague allusion to dis- honesty on the part of Culver. For some reason they never carried a thorough account of the 1866 proceed- ings, nor the fact that the magnitude of their failure overshadowed numerous other failures of that hectic speculative era. After the acquittal Culver and Austin returned to their homes in Reno. Mr. Penn, a witness for the defense, returned to New York. The banking houses and rail- road were lost, but they still managed to hold on to the Reno Oil & Land Company. Penn then moved to Reno and was elected secretary-treasurer of the firm and as- sisted in management and supervision of the drilling of the oil wells. They managed to hold on to this company until 1903, when it passed on to other hands. During their lifetimes they helped form oil producer's oraniza- tions and were members of oil exchanges and partners in real estate firms. In 1904 there was nothing left of the many enterprises, and Culver went to Philadelphia where he died on Jan. 10, 1909, at the age of 79. His remains were then John It. Penn brought to Franklin and laid to rest beside those of his wife Mary Elizabeth (Austin) Culver who died in 1899. There were no children. Culver was a charitable man; during his lifetime he financially helped many oil producers in time of need. To Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa. he donated money to build a dormitory. He also donated land in Mead- ville to the Methodists for the purpose of building a church. Culver left no will and shortly after his death, because the whereabouts of any close relatives were un- known, Shirley P. Austin of Pittsburgh filed for the letters of administration. At this time it was revealed that Culver died penniless. Of the millions of dollars that had passed through his hands there was absolutely nothing left. Culver may have been imprudent in his business transactions and he may have ventured too far into speculation, but no man has ever proved anything dis- honest in his life or business transactions. John R. Penn was born on Oct. 11, 1832, at Canan- daigua, N. Y. Soon after his birth the family moved to Mansfield, Ohio, where he spent his entire youth. After he moved to Reno in 1867, he became a member of the Reno M. E. Church and in 1873 he married Clara Dar- nell, formerly of Grovesport, Ohio. There were three children, John Roby Jr., who died in 1958; Dorothy PACE 190 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 44 Penn, who died in 1972; and Margaret Penn. who is still residing in Oil City. John R. Penn died March 18, 1915. Mrs. Penn died on May 15, 1931. So ends a chapter of a colorful era—the era of the frenzied speculators who eagerly poured money into the then infant oil business, and when the chips were down, with greater frenzy tried to salvage whatever they could. The "Inverted Reverse" By Lee Worthley Error p ROBABLY no other currency error has ever beenmore misnamed than this one. This is due to the fact that paper money is handled, counted, and spent with the face side up, making the reverse look as though it were printed upside down, when, in fact, it is the face that is upside down. The correct nomenclature for this error should be "inverted obverse." But incorrect naming and time have done their job well, and it's far too late to change it now. For an explanation of this error we must go back to the first and second printing operations. The first step in currency production is to print the reverse: then the sheets are stacked for a day or two to let the ink dry; then the face impression is printed. But be- fore the face printing occurs this type of error happens. Prior to the sheets being fed into the face press, they have to be inverted and rotated 360 degrees so the blank side will receive the face printing in proper order. The sheets are normally turned around by hand. and if care is not taken. they can be turned too much, or not enough, producing inverted face impressions. An entire run of these error sheets could be printed if there were no inspections during the face printing. However, every now and then a sheet is pulled to make sure of proper printing, alignment, etc.. and at this point the error is discovered. Then the sheets are rotated to their proper position and the inspectors are alerted to. watch for the already printed error sheets. But not all the defective notes are caught and replaced, as evidenced by the accompanying photograph. Some do manage to escape and, as shown, this error has happened in all denominations. Several years ago I did some research on this type of error by contacting various dealers and collectors who might have one of these notes in their possession. The results indicate that of the non-star series, the $50.00 note is the scarcest. At least one sheet was printed upside down, but where are the remaining 11 notes? A check of paper money sales and auctions gone-by produced none of these $50.00 notes. Next on the rarity scale is the $100.00 denomination. Several are known and from different sheets. The $2.00 is the third rarest with a handful known. I have recorded five specimens. Of the remaining four denominations. the $20.00 is fairly scarce and the $10.00 and the $5.00 are equally divided. The $1.00 notes have to be classified as very common and possible hundreds exist. In the star series, only three are known to this author at the present time. This makes them extremely rare. The exact count of all inverted reverse notes will probably never be known, as many of these notes will never come to public sale or auction. This type of error can be found on Silver Certificates. United States Notes, Federal Reserve Notes. and Nation. al Bank Notes. The red seals seem to be rarer than the rest because of their limited production. Condition does vary with this type of error and new notes are at a premium. as this error is very hard for the average person to spot. Proof of this can be shown by giving someone an inverted reverse note and asking him to find the error. He will look at the face side and then turn the note over. When turned over. the back will be upside down so he will immediately turn it right side up, and then proceed to look for the error. This type of error is so big that 90% of the people will not see it. With the exception of the extremely rare series. in- verted reverse notes are known in most all of the 1928. 1929 and 1934 series. They are not confined to small- size notes, but are known in large currency as well, and several are usually found in large paper money sales or auctions. This error has been reported in a few of the 1950 series, but is very rare in this series. None has been found after the 1950 series. and ad- vanced currency production methods have completely eliminated the "inverted reverse" malfunction. New Confederate Book C. J.

From its full-color cover to the last of its 200 pages, it spells quality in printing, format and content. The neces- sary historical sketches are enlivened with many illustra- tions of native scenes. In addition to the material on coins and medals, there are two chapters of special in- terest to paper money collectors—"Panama's coat of arms on coins, currency, and stamps" and "Panama's attempt to issue paper currency." For the first time we now have available the famous Friedberg reference on U. S. paper money in its seventh and latest addition. Not much more can be said about this large, classic volume than has already been said over the years in the numismatic press, but if more compliments could be devised, we would use them, too. The Gaytan Mexican catalog is the Spanish edition, with all illustrations grouped in a special section. Some spe- cialists contend that the pricing in it is more realistic than that in the second edition. At any rate, acquisition of this volume will alleviate to some extent a big gap in our collection. The latest Charlton Canadian catalog follows the same basic pattern of the earlier editions. One unusual addition is a chart showing the price range of popular Canadian paper money over the period 1955-72. It shows a steady but unspectacular upward trend. The paper money list- ings now comprise almost half of the book. The ANA reprint of the Newman study of nature print- ing is a 34-page booklet containing information which is also available in Newman's later Early Paper Money of America. Until we acquire that work, however, it will help plug another gap in our coverage. The Obsolete Bank Notes of New England volume re- calls the pioneer efforts in promoting our hobby by D. C.

Recognizing that lack of knowledge of the subject was the chief reason for collector apathy, he endeavored to correct it. Using Gwynne & Day's Descriptive List of Genuine Bank Notes as a base, he prepared an expanded list, adding some items from Hodges' American Bank Note Safeguard and John S. Dye's Delineator and from mis- cellaneous sources, such as notes from his own collections, including a few scrip notes. He also obtained background information on various other private banks and com- panies, many of which never issued notes. The complete Wismer list, from which this list of New England states has been extracted, was published serially in The Numismatist, the monthly magazine of the Ameri- can Numismatic Association, from 1922 to 1936. While deficient in sonic respects, the Wismer list is still the most complete reference describing obsolete bank notes of New England. A more complete listing is available only for the state of Vermont in the SPMC-sponsored book by Mayre B. Coulter entitled Vermont Obsolete Notes and Scrip, which can be purchased for ten dollars from Krause Publications, Iola, Wisconsin 54945. No listing of obsolete notes will ever be complete. Wis- mer included only the genuine bank notes of the period around 1860, plus other notes that he had encountered, including a few counterfeits that he did not recognize as such. The new SPMC listings include everything from Wismer, plus all scrip, all counterfeits (gleaned from the many counterfeit detectors published from 1835 to 1866 and identified as such), and finally, many genuine early notes that have appeared in collections in recent years. The objective of the SPMC authors is to list every obso- lete note, genuine or counterfeit, that a collector might encounter, other than Colonials, Continentals, Confeder- ates, and Confederate States notes, which are adequately referenced elsewhere. However, because the more complete listings for most New England states will not be available for several years, this Quarterman edition of the Wismer list will be ex- tremely valuable to collectors and researchers. Important Reference Books Needed At the Board of Governors meeting in New Orleans in August, a decision was made to appeal to the membership for donations of the following books which are deemed essential to a well-rounded library collection. By virtue of SPMC status as a non-profit organization, all donations are tax-deductible. An appropriate receipt for the cash value of each donation will be issued to donors by our Treasurer. —Paper Currency of Mexico (second edition), by Carlos Gaytan —Sten Catalogs — Bowen's State Bank Notes of Michigan — Huntoon/Van Belkum's National Bank Note Issuing Period 1863/1935 —McKee's Wildcat Bank Notes, Scrip and Currencies of Nebraska Prior to 1900 —Jaeger/Haevecker's German Bank Notes Since 1871 —Newman's Early Paper Money of America — Smith/Matraver's Chinese Bank Notes 650AD to Present —A selection of the Muscalus booklets —ANA reprints on paper money subjects A series of seven volumes on emergency paper money of Germany arranged geographically, is being edited by Hans Meyer and published by the Proh firm in Berlin. Each volume sells for about 95 cents in Germany. In order of numerical designation, the paper cover volumes are arranged as follows: Rhine province; West- phalia; Hesse, Palatinate and Alsace; Baden and Wurt- temberg; Bavaria; Thuringia; Saxon and Anhalt. So far, only the first two listed have been released. Notes are illustrated and priced in West German marks. WHOLE NO. 44 Paper Money PACE 193 Karl Lund has written an 84-page volume of "Das Papiergeld von Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg 1914- 1923" (Paper Money of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg 1914-1923) also published by the Proh firm. In 1970 the Danish publisher, Sieg, published a catalog of Danish-Ger- man plebiscite money written by Russell Rulau and Dr. J. U. Rixen. New Mailing Regulations As announced in the last issue, effective at once, all material sent out by the Library will be insured for at least $50.00, with return receipt requested. All borrowers must return it in like manner and pay for all charges both ways. Too many losses have forced us to adopt this regulation. New Advertising Space Available The attention of PAPER MONEY advertisers and po- tential advertisers is called to the availability of a new one-eighth page space for $8.00 per issue or $30.00 for four consecutive prepaid insertions. This space has been added primarily to meet the needs of collectors and dealers who wish to advertise their permanent or long- standing wants or offers in general terms. An eighth page ad will be approximately 3 1/2 inches wide and 21/2 inches deep, so it is not well-suited to copy listing more than a very few individual items but is ideal for institutional copy. We shall endeavor to group all the eighth-page ads to- ward the back of the book in the tradition of numis- matic publishing, but at the outset there may not be enough ads to make this feasible, forcing us to scatter them temporarily in the editorial matter. The Winner's Circle SPIVIC at ANA As of this writing, the following is a complete list of SPMC members who won in the annual ANA competition at New Orleans, 1972. Our apologies in advance to any who may have been omitted from this list; please advise us of any omissions. — Henry Gogolin, Cleveland, Ohio, First in U. S. paper money and the Amon Carter Award — John H. Morris, Jr., Homewood, Alabama, Second, with large-size Alabama National Bank Notes — Harold A.

C. displayed notes of the Citizens Bank of Louisiana and of the Canal Bank, New Orleans, using mirrors in the cases to show the reverses to the viewers. Earlier in 1972, Maurice Burgett of Belleville, Illinois, received first awards at the Central States show in Mil- waukee and the Missouri Numismatic Society show in St. Louis for his "History of Banking in Montana Territory." Federal Reserve Corner This has been a very hot spot in the past few months. First, we have had a rapid transition from series to series with the death of Mrs. Kabis and final confir- mation of Mrs. Banuelos. Shortly thereafter came the resignation of Secretary Connally and the confirmation of Mr. Shultz. This has played havoc with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, as rapid changes in series is not an easy job. Rather than go into further detail at this time, it is better to give you some statistics on the ending numbers for the various series: The S1 FR Series 1969C (Banuelos-Connally) ended with 24 BLOCKS. The series is composed of the follow- ing items: none printed B 29 440 001 D none printed B 80 000 000 D D 91 520 001 A D 07 040 000 B E 80 000 001 B E 41 600 000 C F 70 400 001 B F 31 360 000 C G 04 480 001 C G 41 600 000 D H 59 520 001 A H 83 200 000 A I 33 920 001 A I 59 520 000 A J 67 200 001 A J 05 760 000 B K 16 640 001 B K 46 080 000 B L 08 960 001 C L 10 240 000 D Star notes, Series 1969 C none printed none printed none printed D04 480 001* E03 840 001* F03 840 001* G04 480 001* none printed 103 200 001* J02 560 001* K05 120 001* L05 760 001* D05 120 000* E04 480 000* F07 680 000* G05 760 000* 103 840 000* J03 200 000* K05 760 000* LO8 320 000* $1 Federal Reserve notes have been printed for all districts in Series 1969 D (except St. Louis ) and have been reported for most of these districts.

Traylor, Jr. NEB' MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR e' IN 1973 The Board of Governors, at their meeting in August, authorized publishing a new membership directory in 1973. In addition to an alphabetical listing, the directory will include a geographical listing of members. As in the previous directory issued in 1970, this one will show the member's number, name, address and col- lecting specialty. Please notify the Secretary immediately if: (1) You DO NOT wish to have your name and address listed in the directory; (2) You wish to have your name listed, without address, and thus, it should be omitted from the geographical listing; (3) You have changed your collecting specialty. Only the names of members who have paid their 1973 dues will he included in the directory. BITES FOR 1973 All members should have received their notice by now for the payment of 1973 dues. If you have not already mailed in your check for renewal of membership, may I suggest that you do it right away. Do not let your dues notice become misplaced. It is time-consuming and ex- pensive to send out follow-up notices. If you are a procrastinator in paying dues, how about changing the habit this year? Help your Secretary by mailing a check for $5.00 immediately to the Treasurer: M. 0. Warns, P. 0. Box 1840, Milwaukee, Wis. 53201. VERNON L. BROWN. Secretary P. 0. Box 8984.

WISMER The second volume in the series entitled Gleanings from The Numismatist, this standard reference has been reprinted from a portion of the initial serialization, which appeared in The Numismatist between 1922 and 1936 and encompassed the obsolete paper bank notes of the New England states. Since these articles were never reprinted after their original appearance in The Numismatist, this new work represents a collection of original reference material that is virtually unavailable elsewhere. This volume encompasses 320 pages and includes a new fore- word and many illustrated bank notes. This reference is mandatory for every collector and dealer of American paper money. $15.00 Order from: QUARTERMAN PUBLICATIONS 5 SOUTH UNION STREET LAWRENCE, MASSACHUSETTS 01843 OBSOLETE NOTES VIRGINIA COUNTY NOTES Madison $2.00 1861 XF Upham $8.00 Pulaski, Newbern. 1862 $1 VG $7 • AU 14.00 Lunenburg 50¢ 1862 Good $4.00; Fine 5.00 Rockbridge 100 1863 Abt. unc. 8.50 Rockbridge 50¢ 1863 Fine 6.00 Prince Edward 1862 25¢ Good 5.00 Prince Edward 1862 500, repaired 7.50 Franklin 10¢ Error 1862 Johnson, Ab. unc. 12.00 Franklin 75¢ 1862 Abt. good 5.75 Shenandoah 15¢ Error 1683 instead 1863.
