OWEN WARNS Fr. #595, four-subject $5 plate layout with signatures of J. W. Lyons and Ellis H. Roberts. T HIS month we are privileged to report on a pairof remarkable sheets of Red Seal National Bank Notes of the third charter period with the $5, $10, and $20 denominations represented. Incident thereto is a combination of plate varieties that will also be of interest to researchers on Nationals. We are indebted to Richard M. Kirka for allowing use of the sheets in writing this article. The First National Bank of Moravia, N. Y. was char- tered in 1863, one of the select number of the "First Hundred" to be nationalized. It was capitalized at $80,000. Moravia is in Cuyahoga County, situated ap- proximately halfway between Syracuse and Ithaca. The latest figures place the population at 1,642! Officers of the bank at the time these sheets were is- sued were William E. Keeler, president; William Fitts. vice-president; and W. J. H. Parker, cashier. At pre- sent we do not know why the notes were signed by Vice- President Fitts instead of President Keeler.

The very survival of the number one Red Seal sheet is likely to be unique; it is the first such sheet we have seen. Furthermore, there are three dif- ferent positions of the vice-president's signature on the sheets as illustrated.

While the cross hatched regi- sters were in both red and green, the solid registers were in both green and black. In the area that forms the background to the bank tally number "1" is found the true art of the intaglio en- graver reflected in the uneven, fine, wavy lines that literally defy duplication. An additional effort employed to foil the counterfeiter can be found in the enlarged illustration of charter 99, where many colored threads are apparent in the specially processed paper used by the Bureau in manufacturing bank notes.

HARRISON Paid bill for engraving $50 Post Note. (Historical Society of Pennsylvania Collection) FOR some years I have been searching for any earlyobsolete bank note engraved before 1803 by William Harrison, Sr. Although various accounts of his life, including his obituary, refer to him as being employed by leading banks in the Philadelphia area, a bank note bearing his imprint as engraver has yet to be found .. However, one piece of evidence showing that he did engrave bank notes is the receipt written and signed by "Wm. Harrison, Sr." on December 15, 1798, to the Bank of the United States for engraving a $50 Post Note, which document is in the Dreer Collection in the Manu- script Division of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. I therefore have been trying to find out what notes were actually issued by the i first I Bank of the United States, (1791-1811) and to learn if he engraved others. Since I had an opportunity to do some research in Philadelphia, my friend Mr. Robert M. Lunny, Director of the New Jersey Historical Society, kindly gave me a letter of introduction to his friend Mr. Nicholas B. Wainright, then the Director of The Historical Society of Pennsylvania. which I needed to secure permission to use the Society's manuscript material. It is hard to believe that the rare material in this major source of historical papers has been so abused by unprincipled researchers that letters of proper introduction from well- known and responsible persons are now required before anyone may use the manuscript material, but that is now the case, as no doubt it should be. Since I knew that the minutes of The Trenton Banking Company of Trenton. N. J. even spelled out the design which the engraver was to use on each denomination bank note, I naturally asked to see the directors' minutes of the Bank of the United States when I started my searching. The folder 1 received contained the hand- written minutes from 1795 to 1800. I read and react without once seeing any reference to any engraver, which of course became very discouraging. Near the end of the papers was a committee report dated February 14, 1800, which was a real valentine. It contained the listing of three issues of notes which had been redeemed, the last of which was headed "Bank Notes of New Plates by Harrison." 1 forgot myself and yipped out loud "I've got it!". whereupon other researchers looked at me with grins. The illustrations of the notes and of a letter which have been generously furnished to me and the text of the February 14, 1800 committee meeting report are the first basic records I have found to give an accurate account of the notes actually issued by the (first) Bank of the United States. The report stated: "The Committee appointed to count the cancelled Post & Bank Notes report the following statement of Notes which they find cancelled & pasted in the books kept for that purpose— Viz : Post Notes— 266 g 58 rg 793/4 (er. 56 it 3002 (lb *3964 it 1610 Cri, 789 rer in Notes of Various sums in this amount are included three of one hundred & one of one hundred and twenty Drs. 25/100 taken out by the cashier on account of the indorsement being said to be forged.

Agreed 14 Feby. 1800" These minutes show that there were at least three is- sues of notes of the parent bank in Philadelphia—the Post Notes, Bank Notes of Old Plates, and Bank Notes of New Plates by Harrison—hut they do not indicate who engraved the Old Plates or Post Notes. Likewise, the parent bank directors' minutes do not account for the notes issued by the branch banks, which notes had the location or city where the branch was located filled in on the note in ink, nor do they show who engraved these branch bank notes. Having established from the directors' minutes that there were at least two issues of regular notes and perhaps two issues of post notes, the question is: What was the difference in design, if any, between the old and new plates? As collectors know, the genuine notes of the first bank period are rare, and even the counterfeit notes are not common. As I tried to decide where to look for ex- amples of these notes, the first collection of these pieces that came to mind was the one which Matt Rothert dis- played at the A.N.A. convention in New Orleans in 1973, and he kindly sent me reproductions of that beautiful exhibit to study, some specimens of which are included in the illustrations of this article. But 1 was really surprised to learn from Eric P. Newman that he too has been studying the first issues of the Bank of the United States and that he was planning to include all the data he could find about the notes of this famous bank in the coming expanded Bicentennial Edition of his out- standing work The Early Paper Money of America. He too sent me for study copies of his notes. genuine and counterfeit, and his data. which items were invaluable in trying to determine the differences in the types of notes issued. Then Dick Hoober reminded me that Christian Blom of Hawthorne, N. Y.. had one of the circular letters sent out by the bank in 1791 to parties who might handle the bank's notes. Through Chris Blom's cooperation this rare letter is reproduced. It is unusual because it was engraved and therefore there were undoubtedly numerous copies printed to be sent to those bankers concerned. This letter is of great importance to collectors because it tells of the silk and watermarks in the bank note paper, which qualities or effects will not show in the paper of the counterfeit notes. The letter also describes the number of times the denomination will appear on the post notes in writing and in numerals. Sirs In obedience to the orders of the President and Direc- tors of the Bank of the United States, and in compliance with the request of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, I now have the honor to transmit you a description of the Notes of the Bank of the United States, with the signature of the President and Cashier. (Christian Blom Collection) December 31, 1791 Letter From Bank Describing Bank Notes The paper is made of white linen and red silk, which occasions a tint of the latter colour to pervade the whole. The water mark was calculated to have the words UNITED STATES and half the word BANK in each Note. This will not always be the case; sometimes the word BANK will be all in one Note, sometimes a very small part—the consequence is that in other Notes the word will be wholly excluded, and the greater part of the word will be in others. The words United States will be found in every Note. The Notes which will most frequently be without the work BANK, or only have a small part of it in them are those of Fifty Dollars, Twenty Dollars A, and Ten Dollars C—The same omission, but less frequently will be found in One Hundred Dollars A, Thirty Dollars, Twenty Dollars B, Ten Dollars B, Ten Dollars D, and five Dollars B. WHOLE NO. 58 Paper Money PAGE 177 In the Ten Dollars A, the comma which ought to have b7en after the word States, is put after the word United. The Post Notes are impressed upon the same kind of paper, but are engraved in a stile varying from the others, the Eagle bearing the arms of the United States, being represented as flying. The water mark is more uniformly divided in these Notes. The amount of the Note when the sum is engraved will be found in six different places; twice in figures, twice in words in the margin, and twice in words in the body of the Note. When the amount is in writing, it will be found four times, twice in the margin and twice in the body of the Note. This description being intended for your information in your official capacity, it is expected that the utmost secrecy will be observed on your part. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Johv Keav, Cashier Philadelphia, December 31, 1791. Putting all the various copies of these notes side by side. a definite pattern develops in the regular parent bank and branch bank issues. I have yet to see a speci- men or reproduction of the Post Notes; therefore their design can only be surmised. The regular notes of the parent and branches seem to fall into the following types or issues: PARENT BANK Type I. Engraved date 179-. The tail of the 9 does not curl under the 7. Vignette: A heraldic eagle holding an American shield, arrows in right talon, olive branch in left talon, a cloud over eagle's head showing thirteen stars. Vignette always placed in upper left-hand corner of note. Left end : Denomination in script on lined background. Top center : Denomination in numerals in an oval medallion, stipple background, beaded edge. Lower left : Denomination in large Old English lettering on en- graved black background panel, making lettering show as white or paper color. Words "Bank of the United States" are in script lettering in body of the note. The paper contains red silk thread and is watermarked "United States" and part of word "Bank". The notes were engraved in denominations of $3, $5, $10, $20, $30, $50, and $100. The notes are signed by Thomas Willing as President, and John Kean as Cashier. Type II. Engraved date 179-. The tail of the 9 curls under the 7. Vignette, the same as type I, is always placed in the center of the note. Left end : Denomination in capital letters on lined background. Top left and right : Denomination in numerals in fancy decorated medallion, and in words in decorated enclosures. Words "United States" are in large capital letters in the body of the note. The notes were engraved in denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $30, $50, and $100. Type III. Engraved date 179-. Vignette : A heraldic eagle holding an American shield, arrows in right talon, olive branch in left talon, in oval frame contain- ing fifteen stars, always placed in bottom center of note. Left end : Denomination in capital letters on lined background. Top left and right: Denomination in numerals in oval, with lined background, and tiny radial fringe on edge. Words "Bank of the United States" in script in body of note. Issued in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. Engraved by William Harrison, Sr. Type IV. Engraved date 18-, with finish line of 8 curling over next two digits. Vignette : Same as type III.. except oval frame is not as high but shorter and fatter. Left end : Denomination in capital letters on lined background. Top left and right : Denomination in numerals in ovals with fancy decoration. Notes appear to be of smaller size than type Ill. PARENT BANK POST NOTES Since no copies of Post Notes have been found to date, the only evidence of issue is from the directors' minutes, indicating de- nominations of $5, $10, $20, 030, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and notes of "various sums", also William Harrison's receipt dated Dec. 15, 1798 to the Bank of the United States for writing and engrav- ing a fifty dollar post note. Therefore there must have been two, if not more, issues of Post Notes, those mentioned in the bank's letter of December 31, 1791, and at least the $50 note engraved by William Harrison, Sr., in 1798. BRANCH BANKS Type 1. Engraved (late 17-. Vignette : A flying eagle carrying arms of the United States with arrows in left talon, placed in lower center of note. Left end : Word "Department" in capital letters in a frame. Top left and right : The denomination in numerals in oval me- dallions, decorated edges. See the 1781 circular letter for description of Post Notes and illustration of $50 Type I Branch Bank Note. Type II. Engraved date 179-. Vignette: A heraldic eagle holding an American shield, arrows in right talon, olive branch in left talon, cloud over eagle's head with thirteen stars, always placed in upper left-hand corner of note, same as parent bank type I. Left end : Word "Department" in capital script letters on lined background. Top to left of center: Denomination in oval medallion, beaded edge. Type III. Engraved date 1--- Vignette : A heraldic eagle holding an American shield, arrows in right talon. olive branch in left talon, in oval frame containing fifteen stars, placed in bottom center of note or in top center of note, same as parent bank type III and IV. Left end : Word "Department" in capital letters on lined back- ground. Upper left and right-hand corners : Denomination in numerals in medal lions. Branch bank notes were of the same design for all branches of the bank, payable to the president of the branch or to the bearer, and signed by the cashier and president of the parent bank, and were issued in denominations of $5, $10, 020. $50, and $100. There is no question that the notes illustrated which have the X XXXX mark cancellations are counterfeit, but they are also probably very good engraved facsimilies of the genuine notes. However it is also possible that the counterfeit notes may be just enough different in design to cause me to believe erroneously that they com- prise a different issue or series, but they are the only copies of these notes found so far to examine. Perhaps further research by others will confirm or disprove this assumption of the types of notes that appear to have been issued, and perhaps this discussion will stimulate such research. 1 ,.1/iV(71 6(' 1.11'; (1/4:1, //, //, /r,/,. /pAcir 4,a/ri , ,n "(WWII,/ TEN (:‘,/,i1;;;;, v,......, - /if/ (Bank of New York Collection) MIN _ //; 7/,,, //: ./.1,rd• , / d 1r) /1116,e4.1414 , /ear, .fiewlaittl•,,,,,nk114.1) . 11:0- /be 7/17 trTh` 4•"/•/•td..

News from American Bank Note Co. The 1974 Annual Report of the American Bank Note Co. contains color reproductions of bank notes it prints for a wide variety of countries from Costa Rica to Malaysia. Also shown is a new type of security docu- ment—intaglio engraved motor vehicle certificates of title becoming increasingly popular in many states. The accompanying report of the parent International Bank Note Co. announces the formation of a 60%-owned sub- sidiary company, American Bank Note Securities Systems, Inc. to offer technology, equipment and services for auto- mated currency processing. In regard to the commemorative stamp panels which contain so many engraved vignettes from obsolete bank notes, the report says that interest in them continues to grow. By the end of 1974 the company had designed and delivered 42 of them for the Postal Service and since the inception of the program it has produced more than one million five hundred thousand of these "collectors' items." Since some 22 new commemorative stamps are expected in 1975, many of which will feature the Ameri- can Bicentennial and the 200th anniversary of the Postal Service, the company expects to continue this program. State lotteries are becoming increasingly popular, with the various tickets being colorful and attractive. ABN Co. is producing many of these successors to the early 19th century lottery ticket collectibles, including those for Illinois. The 1974 American Bank Note report discloses that beginning in mid-1975 the company will deliver and in- stall the first of a series of four Magna presses being manufactured for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, D.C. These will be followed by presses for the government printing plant of Brazil. ABN Co. and its associates at Bradbury, Wilkinson are en- deavouring to sell Magna presses to interested govern- ment printing plants in Europe, South America, and Asia. PAGE 180 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 TYPE COLLECTING-U.S. PAPER CURRENCY By PAUL H. JOHANSEN FOREWORD: The progressive history of our paper currency, war-born in 1861, down to the present, tells of that war and others. But it tells, too, of our ap- preciation of the march of science and forms of trans- portation. It shows our earlier insistence upon, and later retreat from, metal backing for our paper currency. The designs portray Presidents, cabinet officers, states- men, war heroes and an Indian chief. They portray Martha Washington, an Indian maid, and other beautiful women in allegory as "Columbia." "Victory," "Liberty," and "Justice." There even is a mysterious, feminine stranger. The large-size issues, at least, have many beautiful examples of the imagination and skill of the artist and the art of the engraver. In themselves, these facets of our notes well deserve monographs of their own, but here we shall explore but one branch of cur- rency collecting: this is type collecting, the singling out of one each from all the different examples of issue. A compilation such as this needs draw heavily upon the several fine catalogs for superb photographic ex- amples and accompanying narrative material. From those are drawn off thumb-nail descriptions of the note's features, face and back, coupled to the catalog numbers of each. Later, herein, these catalogs will be fully identified and the authors' permissions will be cited. WHAT IS A TYPE NOTE? It is an emission of the U. S. Treasury that is distinguishable by class, denomina- tion, portrait, scene or allegory; Treasury Seals by color, size, shape or position on the face: federal bank or district reference: color of serial numbers if they change: wording of inscription and of obligation; the presence of counterfeit warning and of convertibility reference; and of overprints of one purpose or another. These features of composition on face. hack, or in combination, fix it as a separate type. "Class" as first above used as a characteristic is intended to separate issues between Legal Tender, Silver and Gold Certificates, National Bank Notes. Federal Reserve Bank Notes, Federal Reserve Notes, etc.. as the first step in assignment of type num- bers. IN THIS CONTEXT, THEN, WHAT DIFFERENCES DO NOT FIX TYPE? Those differences which, of them- selves, do not fix as a separate type: Serial numbers, prefixes, suffixes, combinations, or place- ment upon the face of a note Series dates and/or their suffixed letters Differing federal banks or districts or their accompany- ing numbers and/or letters. Nor, on early notes, place of payment such as "New York," "Washington," etc. National banks by name, city, town or state Signatures nor signature combinations Some of the exclusions, however, coincide with changes, face or back, that do provide a type; that is but inci- dental. Errors, too, are excluded for the reason that they do not represent a government emission, consciously and purposely prepared, intended for general circulation. ONE MAN'S OPINION: Let there be this early admis- sion that the foregoing definition of what constitutes a type and the features that do no! fix type is an empirical judgment. Accept it, please, for the purpose of this work so that discussion will be opened. Thereafter, there will be discussion, criticism, correction all earnestly are invited—so that, "down the road a piece" we may have something in print which represents, at least, general agreement as to the listing of types. Those of us interested in types will always fully realize that type collecting is but one branch of this particular hobby: it is not for everyone. And that is good. Hobbies— and we think currency collecting to be one of the very best are a very personal thing, as they should be. The purpose of a hobby is to gain and impart knowledge and at the same time give release from the cares of the day. Consequently, one may lead, follow, or change direction at will, for regimentation has no place in a h obby. This, then, is an attempt to narrow down the field, for today probably there is no one with the desire and means to pursue all. Within the limits of type, however, there is great opportunity for satisfaction in the quest for suitable examples of the class and/or denomination selected. "COMPLETENESS" IN A COLLECTION: Few col- lectors have aspirations beyond the century, the "C." the $100 note. Those financially able to collect higher denominations, and doing so, are specialists of high order and nothing found here is likely to be new or found useful to them. Still, the rest of us may have our share of curiosity and want to know all types issued. collectible or not, all the way to the top, the Woodrow Wilson $100,000 gold certificate of 1934 which served and moved only between banks. Even in the field of the type collector, narrower than that of the general collector, the enthusiast is faced with the inescapable fact that it is unlikely that he can put together a complete collection of any denomination for a number of reasons beside money, as if that were not reason enough. Some issues have been totally redeemed by the government and destroyed; others have a unique copy outstanding; still others are retired to museums; a few rarities are in private collections, unlikely to be marketed any time soon. Records of the Treasury show some few copies unredeemed but their existence is un- known to collectors. At great intervals good fortune attends and one of the rarities comes to market. It has happened: a Second Charter, 3rd issue, Friedberg No. 586-a, Hessler No. 1183, referred to by Donlon but not assigned a number. It changed hands at $25,000. The face value? $100! Yes, our curiosity may be ex- cused; there are attics still to be explored and trunks to be discovered. WHOLE NO. 58 Paper Money PAGE 1 8 1 ARRANGEMENT OF THIS MATERIAL: In note de- scriptions, that first given is the face of the note. That which follows "B." is the back of the note. Any nar- rative description of U. S. Notes, this one especially included, must fall far short of conveying adequately that which often truly is a work of art, first by the artist, then the engraver, then the printer. Particularly is this true of large-size notes. The vision and imagi- nation, the precision of technical skills, the depth and contrast of coloring will not be realized from factual description. Real appreciation goes even beyond the superb photographs in the catalogs and is realized only by examination of the notes themselves. Examination of those in the hands of dealers is a pleasure. This is broadened by attendance at some of the larger conventions, making well worthwhile the time, effort and expense. Less can be said on behalf of the small-size notes. There have been a few changes, face and/or back, but they did not begin with outstand- ing features and continue that way. Let us just say, in forty-plus years, we've come to know them well. Portraits are usually the first feature of the note's face to be described, and surnames, only, are used. except in the case of Adams, J.Q., Sherman, J.. Generals and the one Admiral. Allegorical figures represent that attributed to them by the catalogers and, with more than one attribution, there is not always precise agreement as to what the allegory represents. But on this and all other small details we all shall remain flexible. ABBREVIATIONS AND TERMS USED: Any work that attempts narrative descriptions, coupled to columnar numbers, finds page-space at premium. Therefore, once a face or back has been first described, subsequent faces, backs, or both will use the word "Same" to indicate identity with the earlier type. Or, perhaps, if not im- mediately preceding, "Same as Type " If first of type has, say, a "Red seal," a type following may have the difference explained simply by "Blue seal." "Same" may be too constrictive a word, for the latter may have a slight change in type face, a lighter or darker color of Treasury Seal, or a re-touched plate. Perhaps "Quite similar" would be a more felicitous term, but for the sake of space, "Same" was used and the reader will understand it to be "much the same." Secondly, to save space and to avoid tiring the reader, a "shorthand" of abbreviations for much-used words was needed. Used a few times, they will he recognized easily: c—center, or centered 1—left l&r—left and right lg—large no.—number nos.—numbers r—right sc—scalloped sm—small sp—spiked And, thus, the combination "re - translates "right center," etc. "Inscription" herein is reference to the limitation, if any, attached to free use of the note. "Obligation" is the government's promise to pay, and in what form. "Warning" is that appearing on early notes which warned against alteration or counterfeiting that note and the penalties to be imposed. "Convertibility" is the re- ference as to when, and into what, the note could be converted. Throughout, wherever used, classes of notes use these abbreviations: CD—Currency Certificates of Deposit CIN—Compound Interest Note CN—Coin (or Treasury) Note This abbreviation selected because "TN" for Treasury Note would confuse with the earliest Legal Tenders which also were designated "Treasury Note" DN—Demand Note FRBN—Federal Reserve Bank Note FRN—Federal Reserve Note GC—Gold Certificate IBN—Interest-bearing Note LT—Legal Tender (United States Note). Early LT's were designated "Treasury Note." See "CN," above. NBN—National Bank Note NGBN—National Gold Bank Note (California banks, only) RC—Refunding Certificate SC—Silver Certificate REPETITIVE DETAIL OMITTED: Often, all corners of a note but sometimes fewer—show the note's denomi- nation in figures, spelled out, spelling across the figure, or the Roman numeral. Often, too, these are enclosed by or upon an ornate mount. Also, figures mentioned as flanking the central portrait have ornamental mount- ings. Such endlessly repetitive detail has been omitted to spare the reader. National Bank Notes, 1875 and later, show the bank's charter numbers upon the face. Second Charter, first issue, shows it once; on others it appears twice: on the large-size notes, vertically to left of center and horizontal- ly to the right of center. On small-size notes the num- bers are vertically shown far left and right, except if the charter number is of five digits it is a combination of two, horizontally, and three vertically, at the far right. To collectors of NBN's and perhaps to all collectors. it would be an affront to intelligence to repeat on every first type of NBN that such charter numbers appear. However, when the second pair of charter numbers made four in total and constituted Type Two (II), a separate type, the fact was noted as causing a new type, on the 1929 NBN's. NUMBERING OF THE TYPES: Notes were arranged in classes, large-size and small-size, in the order that the first note of that class was issued. For example, the first $1 note issued was the S1 Legal Tender, Type No. 1. The final, large-size note issued was Federal Reserve Bank Note (1918), and is Type No. 23. In small-size notes, the first issued was the Silver Certificate, and the first type, therefore, is Type No. 24. There is but one necessary exception to this: the Federal Reserve Notes are placed last in small notes whether or not their first issue date would put them in PAGE 182 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 that position. And the reason is clear because, when and if there are further types in small notes, most surely such will be Federal Reserve Notes, and open-end num- bering will permit the addition of the new type, or types. It is not overlooked that the red seal, LT, $100, 1966- series is a current note. If not phased out in the interim, successive types of that particular note must be assigned suffix "A," etc., or a number. TYPE NUMBERS COUPLED TO CATALOG NUM- BERS: Once type numbers had been assigned, such numbers were fitted to the catalog numbers of the four major catalog authors. Opposite each type number will appear catalog numbers of, for large-size notes: "Fried- berg." "Donlon." and "Hessler," heading three columns. These are the three major catalogers in the order of first appearance of his catalog on the market. (Only recently were all rights to the "Donlon" catalog sold to A. M. & Don Kagin. I On small-size notes, these are the headings: "Friedberg," "Hewitt," "Hessler." Sources thus designated, are further identified: Friedberg—Paper Money of the United States, Eighth Edition, 1974 (for release about January, 1975).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Earlier herein, there has been acknowledged reliance upon the catalogers, above. But, further, there should be acknowledged their prompt and courteous assent to the use of their catalog numbers. and most gratefully this is done. This may be a good place to say that, while the cata- logers' numbers are here used with their full permission, any errors found herein and some there must he— are mine, not the catalogers. And to say, too, that none of the catalogers suggested any arrangement of material or assignment of his numbers. Skilled authors that they are, they could probably make suggestions as to format and arrangement. As readers of PAPER MONEY, it is hoped that they will. Another acknowledgement is due from us all: Gene Hessler, author referred to above, introduced in his hook a new word: "Syngraphics." it appears in the foreword of his book. He and another learned friend drew upon ancient languages to construct the word. It means, "The bringing together of bonds and written things." Rather a handsome word, don't you think, to fill in the long- existing gap? Many of us are numismatists, too, but always lacked a word that exactly described, and sepa- rated, the paper currency from the coin collector. We have it now, thanks to Gene Hessler; let us put it into circulation: syngraphists. HOW MANY TYPES ARE THERE? Based upon the definition, and exclusions, which earlier were referred to, there are the following types of all paper currency from mid-1861 to date: NOTE TYPES: No. No. Large Small Total $ size size No. 1 23 13 36 2 20 4 24 5 36 17 53 10 44 15 59 20 44 12 56 50 39 10 49 100 38 11 49 500 23 3 26 1000 26 3 29 5000 9 3 12 10,000 8 3 11 100,000 1 1 310 95 405 It should be repeated, 405 different types were issued, but add: there are some, particularly in the higher denominations, that are not collectible. WHAT WAS THE FACE VALUE AT TIME OF ISSUE? Excepting, as we must because it was never in the hands of the public, the final note—$100.000, one each of all other types, at time of issue, were available for well less than a quarter-million dollars—$1 to and including $10,000. But let us drop down to the more usual: types of new notes $100 and less. Grandfather, father, and I could have garnered one of every single type for $9,409.00, between the three of us. Had they the foresight (my hindsight), to have done so, my sons, along with me, need never work another day. Only a dream a pleasant dream. And yet, some of the paper money available today is scarcer, much scarcer, than rare paint- ings or rare coins. We syngraphists are not in the hobby primarily for gains: yet it is nice to know that we probably are into a hobby whose ultimate cost may he WHOLE NO. 58 Paper Money PAGE 183 very little, it may he nothing, it may well return a profit. ARE THERE STILL SLEEPERS? There have been such in the last 40 years; there well may be some in the future. in that time there has been available to us at face value, $1, Type 25, and 810, Type 49 total outlay . 811.00. Value in Hewitt's 10th Edition? $3200.00. Only slightly less spectacular, the 1928B $2 which is a Type 21. $2 face and today it catalogs 8450. It is interesting, isn't it? AND, IN CONCLUSION: A few quick words on condi- tion and then we'll get to the type tables. Collectors of small-size currency, 81-$100, naturally are on the look- out for crisp, uncirculated (CU) copies. But collectors of large-size currency find that issues earlier than 1914, CU usually carry a price tag beyond the purse of the average collector-the man of average means that sets aside a budget for his hobby. In the earlier types, then, he will accept lesser grades, fairly graded. And, why not? One of California's noted syngraphists says, "I get what I need in whatever reasonable condition it may be offered. Because, used, it proves to me that it has served its purpose in the marketplace." And, perhaps as a seeming afterthought, he adds, "My only regret is that it cannot talk!" TYPES OF U.S. CURRENCY-mid-I861 to date Large LT Chase tipper-I. Sm red seal-lc. "ONE DOLLAR"-c B.

The in- taglio work which stands out in relief and can be felt is combined with lithography and letterpress printing in the contemporary methods. (Many current U. S. postage stamps are printed by a combination of intaglio and lithography.) The 5 rupee in the series is printed by an "improved dry-offset" process (lithography?). Other forgery-fooling features are said to be thicker paper with more wet-strength, improved watermark layout, and a profusion of Indian-motif geometrical lathework. A later but somewhat ambiguous report from D. Mehta of Bombay tells of the release of a 100 rupee note in the new series also, but does not indicate whether the printing method is intaglio alone or combined intaglio- litho. Mehta also did not specify the method for a forth- coming 50 rupee note. PAGE 184 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 CANADA. The fifth in the new series of Canada's currency—the $50 denomi- nation—was released to chartered banks at Bank of Canada Agencies across the country on March 31, 1975. The new note became available in most chartered bank branches shortly thereafter. The design of the new $50 includes an engraved portrait of William Lyon Mackenzie King. The scene on the back shows the "Dome Formation" from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police "Musical Ride". The dominant color of the new note is red. Other features are similar to those of the $20, $10, $5 and $1 bank notes already issued, including the Canadian coat-of-arms in color and more extensive use of color and higher relief of the engraved areas than in notes of the 1954 series. As there has been some counterfeiting of the outstanding $50 notes, the Bank of Canada desires that they be replaced by the new series as soon as possible. Banks are therefore being asked not to re-issue $50 notes of the 1954 series but to withdraw them from circulation re- gardless of their condition. important Australian Bank Note Auction Spink and Son and Max Stern and Company, both known worldwide for their numismatic activities, have com- bined to stage what is expected to be the most important coin and paper money sale in Australia in recent years. It will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Thursday, Oct. 30, 1975, at the Hotel Australia, Mel- bourne. The basis for the sale is the famous John L. Ahbe collection of coins of Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and Fiji and the Daryl Walsgott codection of Australian bank notes, which is possibly the finest grouping of pre-Commonwealth paper currency yet assembled. The bank notes will give collectors a chance to acquire some of the finest and rarest notes ever to come on the market in one group. With increasing demand from bank note collectors many lots are expected to draw heavy overseas buying competition, particularly the private is- sues of such banks as the Australian Joint Stock Bank, the Bank of Adelaide, the Bank of Australasia, the Bank of N.S.W., the Bank of South Australia, the Com- mercial Banking Company of Sydney (Sydney), the Derwent Bank, the Federal Bank, the London Chartered Bank, the Sydney Banking Company, and the Sydney Deposit Bank. These are preceded by 25 lots of early Promissory Notes from Sydney and Hobart. There are many trials and proofs as well as Queensland Government issues and the issues of the New South Wales Treasury. Probably the most interesting section is the one devoted to the superscribed issues of the Commonwealth. All these issues are rare and keenly sought after by collectors and several of those in the sale are thought to be unique. Highlights of the sale are expected to be the Bank of Adelaide £5, Commercial Bank of Tasmania, National Bank £5, £10, and £20, and Royal Bank of Aus- tralia, Union Bank of Australia £20. The two examples of the £20 superscribed issue are excessively rare. Finally there is a collection of Com- monwealth banknotes which includes many rare and top condition notes such as the first Ten Shilling, the "Rainbow" Pound, and $50 and £100 notes. A well illustrated catalogue will be available at the end of July from Spink and Son, 5-7 King St, St. James' London.

In Review WORLD LITERATURE By now most syngraphists are well aware of the publication of the new Pick-Krause Standard Catalog of World Paper Money. An editorial advocating use of the biweekly supplements in World Coin News appeared in PM no. 57. Many reviews have been written for other publications. So at this time it might be well for us to examine the volume from a strictly practical stand- point. It is done in a format matching Krause's Standard Catalog of World Coins, the "telephone book" catalog so- called because of its similarity to large- city directories. Naturally, the paper is of like quality and hence the 4000 illus- trations are not as sharp as we would like. But in publishing this 700-page book, Krause's chief purpose was to make immediately available at an attainable price the treasures of Albert Pick's knowledge. This he has done with dis- patch. Experienced hobbyists know that noth- ing stimulates a specialty like the ready availability of a catalog which defines the limits of that specialty—tells what is known and assigns a concise number- ing system which facilitates reference. Such catalogs have for over a hundred years been largely responsible for the success of philately. Various areas of U. S. paper money collecting have also prospered under the benevolence of Friedberg, Donlon, Hessler, et al. Now world or "foreign" paper money of the 1900-74 period partakes of that pros- perity, too. No longer will it be neces- sary for a dealer to go into great descrip- tive detail trying to make prospective customers understand which note of some 20,000 different varieties he is offering. Instead he can use the Pick number. And he will have a base value in two conditions upon which he can set his price. In addition, the front matter of the catalog contains a useful pictorial grading guide, tables of foreign exchange rates, international numeral systems, and an essay by Dr. Pick on the history and col- lecting of paper money. WORLD NEWS Naturally, this first edition isn't per- fect; first editions rarely are. There will be those who complain that the listings are too generalized. But this is a general catalog, not a specialized one. There will be plenty of opportunity for specialists to pen detailed monographs on individual countrics or groups. Journals like PM are eager for the opportunity to publish them. All in all, through the efforts of Messrs. Pick and Krause, we have entered a new, exciting era in syn- graphics. Stanley Gibbons Currency List No. 10 Now available from Gibbons at Drury House, Russell St., Drury Lane, London WC2B 5HD is an illustrated, 21-page, magazine-format list of world paper cur- rencies. It includes a useful article by Brian Kemp on the government of Fiji notes issued during World War II. Items offered for sale range in price from 60 pence to 1500 pounds (the latter being the government of Bermuda five shilling note of Aug. 1, 1920, claimed to be the first seen on the market). Also in the rare class is the British Leeward Islands ten shillings of Jan. 1, 1921, issued from Antigua, printed by De La Rue, and said to be one of less than ten known. It s pr i ced at £1,200. The double-size $50 Bank of Montreal note of Jan. 2, 1903 (specimen) printed by Waterlow and listed as Pick R273 is priced at a thou- sand pounds. A Hudsons Bay Co. York Factory May 9, 1832 one pound note worded "For the Governor & Company of Adventurers of England" goes for £250. For the most part the European and Latin American notes are more moderate- ly priced with the exception of the Ger- man group. For instance, a set of seven specimen (MUSTER) notes, Jan. 2, 1960, goes for £750, while the 50 reichsmarks of 1945, last of its type, photo-chemical- ly reproduced from a specimen of the circulating notes, is priced at £100. SMALL CHANGE IN SPAIN 1931-41, by S. Nathan, published by Spanish Phila- telic Society Bookclub, No. 2, Brighton, England, 1974. One does not usually look to philatelic literature for information about paper money, but in this 24-page, offset- printed booklet from a series of mono- graphs can be found the story of Spanish paper money and coins used during the period 1931 to 1941. This was a com- plex period in Spanish history leading up to and including the Civil War and its aftermath. Two separate governments in one country issued their own currency. The philatelic connection lies in the card- board "money discs - created by the Mint at Madrid. On one side was impressed the badge of the Republic. The other side was left blank. People obtained them from banks and pasted postage or revenue stamps on the blank side and WHOLE NO. 58 Paper Money PAGE 185 AND NOTES used them as coin substitutes. The Na- tionlist side used the more elaborate en- cased postage stamp concept. The monograph is well illustrated, with many maps complementing the pictures of notes and paper tokens ("vales") of all kinds. Unfortunately, it is not gen- erally available; the edition was limited to subscribing members of the Bookclub. However, it probably will be available in such large philatelic libraries as that of the Collectors Club of New York, 22 E. 35th St., New York, NY 10016. Mexico Addendum Ed Shlieker, Samuel M. Paonessa and William L. Spencer, co-authors of UN Peso of the Bank of Mexico 1935-1970 have recently released the addendum to their 1973 publication. Included are eight new signatures for the 5 through 10,000 Peso Signature Chart I, as well as an update on quantity printed figures on the Series A-F Un Peso bank notes. Distribution of the addendum has al- ready been made to collectors who re- turned the addendum request form. Others may obtain a copy by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the authors at P. 0. Box 9684, El Paso, Texas 79986. Additional information relating to the authors of signatures appearing on Banco De Mexico bank notes is being solicited. Collectors are also advised that while eight new large-denomination signatures have been identified more remain to be discovered. Included with the addendum is an information retrieval form. This form is a continuing effort on the part of the authors to piece together data relative to the larger denominations (5- 10,000 Pesos) printed by the American Bank Note Company and issued by El Banco De Mexico. Information sought includes: denomi- nation, date of note, series, complete serial number, control figures, single- letter code and seal color. The control figures are a three character code (3-A- 12) which is usually centered on both left and right sides of the obverse of most large-denomination notes. The single- letter code is usually located to the right of each serial number. Both collectors and dealers may obtain copies of the catalogue by writing to the following distributor: Ed Shlieker, P. 0. Box 5451, Tucson, Arizona 85703.

Sweden Commemorates Postal Giro Checking System With New Stamp FINANCIAL facility widely used in Europe but not available in this country is the "Postal Giro" system. It began in Austria in 1883 as an exten- sion of the country's Post Office Savings Bank. Holders of a savings account there were given the option of transferring money from their accounts to another for the purpose of simplifying non-cash payments and reducing the need for cash in small transactions. The system became very popular on the Continent, especially in making payments from one country to another. On January 21, 1975, the Swedish Postal Adminis- tration issued a special commemorative stamp to cele- brate the 50th anniversary of its Postal Giro Office. The bright orange and black stamp shows the special en- velope each account holder uses to send payments post- free to the Postal Giro Centre in Stockholm. The stamp was designed by Jan Magnusson, engraved by Czeslaw Slania, and printed in Great Britain by Harrison & Sons Ltd. in photogravure and recess. In 1973, the Swedish Postal Giro handled 284 million payment commissions for a total value of 1,160,000 million Swedish crowns. The system in Great Britain is only five years old but already there a "postal cheque" is a matter of prestige as well as expediency. There is a new National Giro Directory listing all accounts and a consumer magazine called Giroscope, containing advertising for mail order merchandise which can be paid for by Giro checks. Also published recently is a book. National Giro by Glyn Davies (George Allen & Unwin, £5), which gives useful insights into postal banking throughout the world based on the system of credit transfers rooted in the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Nore(1.141%wqra. 1.1.rnoirkmasolwo; mesomowo, Swedish stamp and special postmark for Postal Giro system anniversary Of course, there are many opportunites for financial legerdemain in the Giro system. During the 1930's for instance, a philatelic wholesaler living in Hamburg, Felix Chruszcz, opened postal accounts in a dozen or more countries, including the Belgian Congo, at a trifling cost, and rapidly established himself as being a financial wizard through foreign exchange transactions. Writing in the column "Coin and Note Dealer" in the British publication The Philatelic Exporter, C. N. Richardson reports seeing in Madrid in April a line of full- color postcards featuring bank notes, similar to other European cards depicting postage stamps. He does not give the name of the manufacturer but writes that the cards were obviously produced for the tourist trade, ob- serving that he saw Japanese and other national groups buying them avidly. The famous "springing tiger" design of the Federated Malay States fondly recalled by two generations of stamp collectors from 1901 to 1936 was derived from vignettes on corresponding Straits Settlements bank notes. tibionotoinnutiest 01104 S'f0C10400A PAGE 186 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 The Hapsburg's Occupation Money in Italy 1796-1866 By DR. MICHAEL KUPA Budapest, Hungary UP TO the end of World War I, a large part ofnorthern Italy belonged to the Austrian Empire. During this period some emergency money was issued by the Austrian occupation forces. Of this, the first four emissions listed below were all issued to pay for rations and equipment delivered to the Austrian forces by the local inhabitants. The certificates were withdrawn from circulation after 18 months and de- stroyed so completely that to this day not a single copy has come to light. Thus, they are listed here only to make the record complete. I. 4 January 1796 VAGLIA DELLA R.

The "cedola" were made of thick white card printed in black and stamped twice in red on the obverse with the eagle of Austria. At this time Mantova was the last Austrian garrison in Italy. The note measures 79 x 72 mm. Its reverse is blank. At first an emission of 1.500,000 Mantovan Lire was planned, but finally a circulation of 7,536,480 hire was promulgated. Current until 22 October 1796 was the issue of three notes-10 Soldi, 1 and 3 Lire with hand- written signatures, numerotages and value indications both in figures and letters; the other text was printed. They were signed by three of the following (one printed and two handwritten) : Tonni, Scorza, Castiglioni, Antonio Gobbio, Trenti, Giuseppe Perodi, G. Batt. Noe, Gaetano Asti. On 16 February 1797 the two higher denominations were withdrawn from circulation and destroyed.

Put into circulation on 29 August 1802 was the "soldi uno" and on 30 August 1802 the "soldi cinque" for a sum of 3,000 Florins, Austrian value. The notes have no dates and signatures. A single original specimen of the 1 soldi was on display until World War II in the Museo Civico di Rovereto but it was destroyed later in the war. Now only a photograph exists at the Bankmuseum der Deutschen Bundesbank in Frankfurt/Main.

The notes were dated 1 April 1849. They were printed in Vienna by the K. K. Hof-und Staatsdruckerei (Imperial and Royal Court and State Printing Office) on white watermarked paper with the letters KKCK Kaiserliche Konigliche Central Kasse—Imperial and Royal Central Treasury). The three small denominations of 5. 10 and 15 Lire Austrian were put into circulation without any interest; therefore their reverses are blank. The higher denominations bore an interest of three per- cent and therefore their reverses were printed with an interest table. The non-interest bearing treasury notes were issued only on 27 August 1849. Both interest and non-interest bearing notes circulated to the sum of 70 million Aus- trian Lire.

Further consultation with two specialists has yielded the following information: From Gene Hessler of Chase Manhattan—"Yes, the item in question is a reproduction. After I made my request for a photograph I realized the illustration . . . had no serial number. I have since compared this illustration with another reproduction. The signatures that appear to be handwritten are in exactly the same place in relationship to nearby printing, and the same name. Bennett. appears." From Louis Van Belkum, noted National Currency authority—"I am quite sure that the note is not genuine. I would like to state some of my reasons for feeling that way: "1.) The note does not carry any serial number. These notes carried either a red or blue serial number and this note does not have any number on it. "2. The note does not carry any plate position letter. (Continued on Page 191) WHOLE NO. 58 Paper Money PAGE 189 The Financial History of Colonial Pennsylvania By RICHARD T. HOOBER ( Continued tram PAPER MONEY No. 57) Clamor for Public Regulation of Monetary Policy F RANCIS Rawle's (a signer of early Pennsylvaniaissues) pamphlet advocated for Pennsylvania the cre-ation of money by public authority, instead of con- tinued dependence upon coined metal intrinsically worth, or nearly worth, the face value. He argued that there was not enough silver and copper in the province, and that it was impossible to bring in the amount required by the community either by recovering trade already lost, or by attempting to establish new trade, and that it would take too long to bring about an influx of gold and silver by raising its value arbitrarily. The pamphlet further suggested that, to "keep the paper money equal in value to gold and silver, it must, among other features, arise from a fund, and there- fore, as private offices, particularly at Westminster, were by letters patent allowed to lend on the security of real estate, goods, wares, etc., the Province should lend a cer- tain quantity of bills on the security of land, interest equal to that paid for gold and silver and an installment of the debt being paid annually, while the Province itself could issue some of the bills to pay for public requirements, and from a tax could be enabled to get in and sink such hills." (Keith) Pennsylvania, in substance, adopted Ravide's formula when she later made her first emission. The clamor continued throughout the colony for relief from the chaotic conditions that hampered trade and com- merce, and the following petition was presented to the Assembly: "To the Honourable and Representatives of the Province of Pen- sil vania in General Assembly Mett at Philada. the loth day of the Twlefth Mo : February, Anno Domini 1717. The petition of the Subscribers on behalf of themselves and others the inhabitants of the said Province "HUMBLY SHEWETH "That whereas the want of running Cash is general ly detremental to trade and commerce as this province do by woful Ex perience find occasioned partly by the bringing in of sundry Merchandize• and Especially Servats, which when purchased are for the most part paid in Cash and the same being Carried away in specie drains this province of the Current Coyn to that degree that thereby the whole Government in General is depriv'd of the sinews of life of Trade without which no Countrev can Ex pect to flourish and prosper "Know your petitioners Do hereby humbly request and desire That for the preventing of the Carrying away of the running Cash as much as may be the reviving of Trade and Commerce amongst us and redressing the aggrievances consequently Ensuing such unnecessary Ex portation of Cash- this Honourable House may make the produce of the countrey as wheat Flour Bread &c., : such lawful pay in a general way as not to be refus'd or rejected or otherwise that such other restrictions be Enjoyn'd as may be thought most proper and Convenient for redressing the aggrievances aforesaid And your petitioners for that and other manifold favors shall as in duty hound Ever pray &c. "To the Honourable and Representatives of the Inhabitants of the Province of Pensilvania the General Assembly Mett in Philadelphia the Tenth day of the Twelfth Month Anno Domini 1717. "The petition of the subscribers on behalf of themselves & others Inhabitants of the sd. Province "HUMBLY SHEWETH "That our late Complyance in reducing our Covn Current to what its at present and our neighboring Colonies retaining for the former Currency Hath been and still is the reason they daily drain us of our money and seeing our Silver is in a manner wholly exhausted thereby they by draining of Gold undoubtedly design to drain us also of that part of the running Cash we have left amongst its and Considering how destructive the want of Coyn is to Trade in General under the Oppression whereof this province bath for many years groan'd we your petitioners do hereby request and desire That this Honourable House would take this matter under their Considerations and apply a remedy to said Aggrievances Either by raising the value of Coyn in general or English Coyn, Gold and French money or by such other method as may seem most proper and Convenient—With wholly refering where- of and in full assurance of a redress from this Honourable Ho-use We your petitioners shall in duty bound Ever pray &c." ( Signed by 183 citizen merchants) Conditions did not improve, rather they worsened, for in 1719, another scheme was presented before the Assembly to make farm produce a legal tender for all public and private debts. Again, no action was taken on this specula- tive proposal. Linked with a depression at this time, reports from the colonies to the north about the apparent success of their circulation of paper money were reason enough to maintain constant pressure on the govenment, for the general feeling was that such fiat currency would surely prove a panacea to all. Rawle's pamphlet gained small favor among the "safe and sane Councillors," who were, for the most part, the larger landowners and creditors. Had the matter been left to their disposition entirely, and to their votes alone, it is reasonable to assume that no such money would ever circulate in their colony! Strong support was to come from Keith and others whose influences were to finally bring about the desired legislation. The evil shadow that constantly lurked in the background, counter- feiting, added to the confusion, and again, in 172o, one Edmund was convicted with his wife of counterfeiting Spanish silver coins. He was sentenced to he hanged, and his wife, Martha, was fined 15oo. PAGE 190 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 The American Weekly Mercury, printed by Andrew Bradford in Philadelphia, set forth the following statement in the January 2, 1721, issue, "Our General Assembly are now sitting, and we have great Expectations from them at this Juncture, that they will find some effectual Remedy, to revive the dying Credit of this Province, and restore us to our former happy Circumstances." Again, on January 16th, the paper stated: "Tis with great Complacency this House receives the Governor's fresh Assurances of his Regard to the People we represent, in such affectionate Expressions and Zeal, to restore the Planters Credit with ust Care, of the Merchant, who of late ( with others) equally be under the great Disadvantage of Want of a sufficient Currency of Cash ; as appears to us from the melancholy Complaints of the People : and we will readily fall in with any Scheme, as shall appear to us conducive to a Remedy. "We greatly acknowledge the Governor's Condescension to acquaint this House of his forming a design to manufacture and consume the Grain of this Country : We hope the success will answer the Governor ' s E xpectations, by a fruitful Advantage of his Interest, and consequently that of the Country ; which are inseparable. "We heartily thank the Governor for his repeated Offers in con- descending chearfully to assist and ad vise this Assembly in what may be for the publick Good." On January 31st, an advertisement appeared: "We whose names are hereunto Subscribed, do, for the Encourage- ment of Trade and Commerce, promise to receive in Payment for all Goods, sold after the Date hereof, Dollars called Lyon Dollars, at the Rate of Five Shillings, The English Crown at Seven Shillings and Six Pence, The Half Crown at Three Shillings and Nine Pence, The Eng- lish Shilling at Eighteen Pence, and the English Sixpence at Nine Pence, Proclamation Money.

Any other Traders, who are willing thus to encourage Trade, may have their Names inserted in next Paper." The following issue indicated the addition of four more names, and merchant Joseph Redman inserted his own separate advertisement. PJreaPape]r Money Legislation on Money Rates HE following two acts, although passed prior to the emission of paper money in Pennsylvania, are im- portant in their representation of the conditions that existed and the difficulties encountered in handling the currencies of the countries abroad, and are included to indicate the official awareness of those problems and their efforts to overcome them by the limited means at their disposal. "AN ACT FOR THE BETTER PROPORTIONING THE RATES OF MONEY IN PAYMENTS MADE UPON CONTRACTS AC- CORDING TO THE FORMER REGULATION" ( Statutes at Large of Pennsylvania. Vol. II, Pages 276-278) "Whereas our gracious sovereign the queen, taking into consideration the different rate at which the same species of foreign coin pass in her several colonies and plantations in America, and the inconvenience thereof by the indirect practice of drawing the money from one plan- tation to another to the great prejudice of the trade of the Queen's sub- jects, did by her royal proclamation given at Windsor, the eighteenth day of June in the third year of her reign, think fit to reduce all foreign coins to one current rate within her dominions in America by certain exact calculations and regulations thereupon in the said pro- clamation at large set forth and expressed ; publishing and declaring that from and after the first day of January then next ensuing, no pieces of money therein mentioned should be accounted, reckoned, taken or paid w ithin any of the Queen's said colonies or plantations, for the discharge of any contracts or bargains made after the said first day of January, at any higher rates than by the said proclamation to pay and discharge all debts contracted before the said first day of January in money at other rates than is hereby required ; and whereas upon the liberty that is left by the said proclamation to pay and discharge all debts contracted before the said first day of January in money at other rates than is thereby required, it has been frequently practiced in this government to make payments in such pieces as upon the reduction of our coin would carry the greatest loss, and too great encouragement has been given by the irregularity and disproportion of the rates at which money has passed, through a sinister and unjust desire of gain, to clip the heavier pieces passing by weight as well as reals or bits that are not weighed, and thereby to make the generality of such pay- ments as aforesaid in the lightest and most depraved money, for remedy whereof : ( Section I.) "Be it enacted by John Evans, Esquire, by and with Her Majesty's royal approbation Lieutenant-Governor under William Penn, Esquire, absolute Proprietary and Governor-in-Chief of the province of Pennsylvania and Territories, by and with the advice and consent of the freemen of the said Province m General Assembly met, and by the authority of the same, That from and after the publication of this pre- sent act, no debts contracted before the said first day of January shall be discharged in any silver coin current in this province but at the rate of five pence halfpenny per pennyweight, being the nearest to the former regulation pieces and half-pieces of Peru excepted, which shall pass in such payments at five pence per pennyweight ; and Lion or Dog dollars not less than sixteen pennyweight at six shillings each, and all kinds of silver money shall be weighed by Troy weights proportion- able to the rate aforesaid. "Provided nevertheless, That without the consent of the receiver in payments of pieces of eight, there shall not be more than one single piece ; and in payments of half-reals, reals and double reals, not more than eight teals weighed in the scale at one draught ; and such draught shall not be weighed or accounted nearer than one-half penny- weight ; and the money being full as heavy as the weight shall be passable for the value thereof respectively. And whereas the neighbor- ing governments that have been more anciently settled, and are some of them much more considerable in trade than those of ( sic ) this pro- vince, have not hitherto fallen into the practice of regulation enjoyed by the Queen's said proclamation, whereupon the inhabitants of this government, finding the alteration difficult to be practiced while none of those around us do the same, have too generally continued to con- tract and bargain for sums according to the old rates, which still increases the great inconveniences that daily more and more arise from the aforementioned disproportion, by not only clipping our money upon the encouragement taken from thence but also importing the lightest pieces and exporting the heavy ; and whereas nothing will more facil- itate the practice of the regulation aforesaid, according to the pro- clamation which requires all weights to go exactly at one rate ; than first to introduce the same method in all payments whatsoever, . . ( Passed January 12, 1705-6. Repealed by the Queen in Council, Octo- ber 24, 1709.) "AN ACT FOR ASCERTAINING THE RATES OF MONEY FOR PAYMENT OF DEBTS AND PREVENTING EXACTIONS ON CONTRACTS AND BARGAINS MADE BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF MAY, IN THIS PRESENT YEAR ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND NINE." ( Statutes at Large of Penn- sylvania. Vol. II, Pages 2 94 -2 97.) "Whereas for the better enforcing of our gracious sovereign the Queen's royal proclamation, dated the eighteenth day of June, one thousand seven hundred and four, for reducing foreign coins to the same current rate within all her colonies or plantations in these parts, by a statute made in the sixth year of her reign, entitled 'An act for ascertaining the rates of foreign coins in Her Majesty's Plantations in America,' all persons within the said colonies or plantations are for- bidden, after the first day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and nine, for the discharge of any contracts to be there- after made, to account, receive, take or pay any of the several species of foreign silver coins mentioned in the said proclamation, at any greater WHOLE NO. 58 Paper Money PAGE 191 of higher rates than are therein allowed and settled ; according to which rates, pis:es of eight of Seville, Pillar and Mexico- of full weight, which, according to the present currency of money in this province, pass at eight shill ings each, shall then be taken and accounted for the discharge of the aforesaid contract s at six shil ings and no more ; w hereupon it is manifest that the same pieces will fall one- fourth part in their denomination, notwithstanding in themselves they retain the same intrinsic value. "And whereas it is most evident that the general known standard of the value of all goods and merchadises to be bought and sold is, in the most civilized nations, the quantity of silver that is to be paid for them, which value cannot really in itself be raised or diminished by the difference of names affixed to it, so that the same piece of eight of full weight when called six shillings only is of no less value in itself than it is when called eight shillings, but ought to purchase the same quantity of goods, at the same time by whatsoever name it may he taken ; and therefore all goods and merchandises ought to fall in price or denomination of value, in proportion to the alteration in the denomination of money, because every person who sells goods at one-fourth part lower in the name or denomination of the price, after the said first day of May, wil I have in reality the same intrinsic value and weight of silver for his goods, as he would have in case he had sold the same for one-fourth part more in money, at the present currency. Now forasmuch as divers persons in this province without due consideration of the real difference of money, may propose to make advantage to themselves, by means of the said act in forcing their debtors, after the said first day of M ay, to discharge their debts here- tofore contracted according to the rates in the said proclamation men- tioned, by which they would receive one-third part more in the quantity of silver than, at the time of the contract, was understood or intended. And some persons since they had notice of the said act, have lent money at the rates now current, but haveve taken obligations for payment thereof at the rates prescribed by the said pro:I atnat ion, which is suffered to be exacted either upon those obligations or any other contracts or bargains that ought to be discharged ttcording to the present currency will prove injurious and oppressive to the debtors. "Therefore for prevention thereof : ( Section I.) "Be it enacted by Charles Gunk in, Esquire, by the Queen's royal approbation Lieutenant-Governor under William Penn, Esquire, Proprietary Governor-in-Chief of this province of Pennsylvania, etc., by and with the advice and consent of the freemen of the said Province in General Assembly met, and by ( the) authority of the same, That if any person within this province, from and sifter the said first day of May, for the payment of money lent or goods sold, or for the discharge of any penalties or duties accrued or fees, salaries or other perquisites settled by la w and then due, or any contracts or bargains made in this province, before the said first day of Al ay, shall account, take or receive tiny of the several species of foreign coins ( silver) mentioned in the said proclamation except Peru's at any other rate than at nine shillings and one penny by the ounce Troy-weight, either by the single ounce or in greater quantities, and for any sum under a piece of eight at five pence halfpenny each pennyweight, and the said Peru's at the rates they now pass : every person so accounting, taking or receiving the same contrary to the directions of this act shall forfeit the sum of ten pounds for every suds offense, to the party grieved or to such other person or persons as shall sue for the same, to be recovered with full costs of suit by action of debt, bill, plaint or information in any court of record within this province, where such offense shall be committed : and the debtor shall he discharged of what the creditor shall require or endeavor to exact, over and above the rates hereby prescribed for payment of the said former contracts or bargains. And that al l officers' fees, salaries or other perquisites, workmen's and laborers' wages and prices of commodities or manu- factures, that have for any number of years passed been fixed and generally known, shall after the said first day of May abate in pro- portion to the afore-mentioned fall in the denomination of money, for which said fees, salaries and other perquisites, wages, coonnod ides and manufactures, no person shall presume to demand, take or receive in the rates of money establishes! by the said proclamations any more than three-fourths part of the sum in pounds, shillings and pence wh ich he or she has heretofore accustomed to demand, take and receive in the present currency of money. And that the prices of all goods, commodities, wares tind merchandise whatsoever shall be computed at three-fourths part of time stun and no more, which the seller would have taken for them according to the rates of the present currency, if no change had been made therein by virtue of the said p ro:1 tunation and act of parliament. "Provided al ways, That nothing herein contained shall extend or be construed to compel every person to receive money according to the present currency, for the discharge of any rents, reserved or contracts or bargains made upon sales of lands or goods, for which money or other effects are really and truly agreed to be paid or delievered, after the said act of parliament takes effect, at the rates thereby - directed, or iu sterling money of Great Britain. (Section 11.) "And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That for rendering payments according to the rates enjoined by the said proclamation more easy and expeditious, there shall be sets of weights of all sorts necessary, exactly proportioned, according to the said rates, from one halfpenny worth of silver to any sum that shall be thought fit, which weights shall be prepared and sold by Peter Stretch and George Plumly of Philadelphia, W ho shall stamp their respective marks thereon and be accountable for their exactness ; and for seven suds weights, between one halfpenny in value and six pence inclusive, they shall receive two pence for each weight ; and for seven convenient weights bet ween eight pence and twenty shillings inclusive, they shall receive four shillings and one penny, or five shit I lugs and three pence for all the said fourteen weights and no more." ( Passed April 3o, i7o,), Repealed by the Queen in Council, Feb., 20, 1714.) (To be continued) Facsimile Note (Continued from Page 188) "3.1 The work around the large numeral 100 is quite inferior and is nothing like the work shown on the proof specimen sold by Mayflower Auctions last year. "4.1 There is no 'The' to the left of 'United.' The `The' appears on the proof. "5.1 On the proof specimen, the outside edge of the lathework around the 'C' counters is dark, while on the note in question, it is light. "6.1 On the proof there is a distinct gap between the oval containing the portrait of Gen. Scott, but there is no such space on the note in question. "There are many other discrepancies that I could point out, but to me the first three reasons should be enough to convince most people that the note is not genuine. If the gentleman would compare his note' against the photo of the proof sold by Mayflower Auc- tions, I think that he would have to agree with my opinion. "All of these comments are my opinion and I do not profess to be an expert on that series of notes. "There is a volume at the National Archives that deals with the issuance of these notes and if I remem- ber right they do list to whom these notes were pay- able. The owner might stop in someday and investigate this volume." Finally, the finder of the "note" received the follow- ing communication from R. G. Hawthorne, Dir., Div. of Securities Operations of the Fiscal Service of the Treasury Dept.: "The document to which you refer is a reproduction of a $100 7 3/10 percent Note. These facsimiles were used by banking houses in 1861 to advertise the sale of bank notes, and have no monetary value." These opinions leave little doubt as to the true nature of the illustration. PAGE 192 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 Wall Displays of Small-Size Currency By GRAEME M. TON, JR. 0 NE WAY to get your hobby out of the pages ofbooks and out where people can see and appreciate your interests is to use "wall displays". They sound like a bit of work, but really are not. You'll have fun doing them and achieve some real satisfaction. A "Display" should reflect your interests. In a way, it's an extension of your personality. A bit of thought and decision beforehand will give the best results. Using the "flip-top holders" with two-way adhesive makes it easy to change if you should (and you will!) alter the Display. A Jew Display suggestions: (The notes listed are the least expensive series. They DON'T have to be CU.) BASIC. The seven $1 Silver Certificates with the differ- ent plate designs front and back—All that are required are the $1 SC 1928A; 1934; 1935; 1935A Hawaii; 1935D (W I and (N) ; and the 1957. BASIC EXTENDED. One each of the 17 $1 SC Series— I would not display the 1928C, D, and E. In the 17 series you can dress up the display with common ending numbers, fancy numbers. and other combinations. BASIC LOW NUMBERS. This is a most attractive dis- play. Essentially, the beginning blocks of the plate de- sign changes are used. The $1 SC 1928. 1934, 1935, 1957 and the $1 FRN 1963 all begin with the block AA. The $1 Hawaii CC block is the most comparable and is the only invasion note block that you can get with beginning zeroes. To add interest to these beginning blocks, you might try to get numbers starting with as many begin- ning zeroes as possible. The use of Face Plate #1 is a nice touch. ( The same criteria can be used for dis- playing $5's and $10's.) Then there are the TYPE collection displays. RED SEAL TYPE. Displays the different denominations and plate designs used in the USN's (Legals)—$1 1928 USN; the $2 USN 1928G and the 1963; the $5 USN 1928F, and the 1963. BLUE SEAL TYPE. Displays the different denomina- tions and plate designs used in the Silver Certificates— $1 SC 1928A and/or 1957; I for an expanded version use the seven S1 SC's described under BASIC) ; $5 SC 1934D and the 1953A; the $10 SC 1934D and the 1953A. FIVE COLORED SEAL TYPE. Most attractive! Dis- plays the five different colored seals used in the small currency—$1 1928 USN (red) ; $1 1928 SC (the sig- natures and design tie in with the $1 USN in blue) ; $1 SC 1935A Hawaii (brown) ; $1 SC 1935A North Africa ( yellow ) ; and the $1 1963 FRN (green). COMBINATION SEAL TYPE. Displays the five different color seals used by the Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing in the regular production of small currency. Requires higher denomination notes and is most interesting. $5 USN 1963 (red) ; $5 SC 1934D ( blue) ; $5 FRBN 1929 (your District) brown; $5 FRN 1974 (your District) green; $10 1928 Gold Certificate (gold). The $5 1934A Hawaii (brown) and the $5 1934A North Africa (yellow) could he added. There are many other Type Displays. For instance, the $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 1929 FRBN's illustrate notes that have become extinct but were an important phase of U. S. currency. VARIETY. My favorite! It illustrates the varieties used in our small currency. It takes a bit of doing, but makes it easy to explain Mule. Experimental, and Changeovers. For Mules, use the $1 SC 1935A. You need two notes, one Mule and one non-Mule. For Experimentals, the best is the $1 SC 1935A "R" and "S" pair. For Change- overs, use the $1 SC 1935D, any block. You need four notes—Changeover Pair for the consecutive numbers: two regular 1935D's, one (W I and one (N) to he dis- played on the reverse side by side (overlap to show the difference). Then there are the SPECIALTY Displays. I'll just list these, as you can make many combinations—Fancy Numbers, Radars, Errors, Autographs, Low Numbers, Short-Snorters. A Display of birthday notes or particular event-dated notes is particularly interesting, as is the Display of FP/1 and BP/1. It's difficult and expensive in the early series, but more available in the $1 SC 1957, the $1 FRN 1963, 1969, and 1974. You should try for position code Al or ending #1. For peak interest and enjoyment have several displays. A basic, type, variety or specialty make good combi- nations. Decoupaging, which I have never done, is worth men- tioning. It is being done quite a bit with obsoletes, CSA's, old stock certificates, and the like. It should be attractive with paper currency as well. Use inexpensive notes, as it is PERMANENT. The decoupaging kits are available in most department and drug stores. Some thought should be given to the type of wood that would blend best with your notes. Also, the design and cut of the wood could add a quality of distinction. A Jew tips on how to display: 1) Use a hard flip-top holder with a two-way adhesive. Don't tack or glue your notes, unless they are very inexpensive. The flip-top holder allows you to change your notes and makes them easily removeable for clean- ing. It will also protect your notes. 2) A blue velvet background brings out the blue in the SC's; a red velvet background brings out the red in the USN's. The lighter shades of velvet give the most contrast. Where the different colored seals are used in one display, the beige velvet is very nice. A little experi- mentation will give you the most desired effect. Don't DATE PRic.E. DATE PRICE W4. BHT. B Hr. SOLD I SOLD CO 4///75 9-9 SERIES 19(0'1D setoAL. tt- DENom, — si&s.

The elaborate displays can be separated into two or more frames. They can be arranged to give balance to the display. When a large picture-type frame is used. it is best placed in the center. Of course, custom frames with matching backgrounds do give a distinctive. ness to the display. 4I Avoid placing where direct sunlight will be upon the display. A high moist area is also undesirable. These conditions will cause the notes to "brown" or "tone" out. The notes should be removed periodically and wiped for any dust or dirt that has settled. A bit of preventive maintenance will keep your notes in nice condition. An occasional replacement of the holders is also recommended. 51 A short explanation card on the items displayed is a nice finishing touch. Where to display. The "where" to display is more a matter of personal taste and habitat. Dens, studies, or libraries are very appropriate. Displays will dress up a game or recreation room, where they will be conversation pieces. A class- room display of currency can be used to illustrate many things. Your office is an excellent spot—for that some- thing extra. A dentist has one on the ceiling over his dental chair claims it takes the patients' minds off the drilling! I don't know. . . . Again, your display should be a reflection of your interests and personality. I'm sure your imagination will create even better ones than those suggested. Let others know about them! Four times I have made displays for my personal enjoyment and not for profit. But, four times a collector/ friend has "had to have them" and backed up his craving with substantial offers. Each time the fun was in creat- ing the different displays. The fifth time . . . I just don't know yet! A Custom-Made Record Log Book for Everyone By MIKE CARTER FTER reading Mr. Zegers' letter to the Editor in the March/April issue of PAPER MONEY. I decided to share with my fellow collectors a method of record keeping for my collection that I have found to be very efficient and attractive. There are available on the market many styles of flip-up photograph albums. By shopping around. the prospective buyer will be able to locate one for 31/2" x 5" prints with a nice padded, hard cover. If you live in a small town or an out-of-the-way location where it may be difficult to locate such an album, may I suggest the Sears catalog which carries a very nice one. The collector should strive to find an album with no print- ing on the cover. I have found that most of the quality albums do not have any printing. Most of the albums contain 50 clear acetate pockets, 25 to a side. The album I purchased was extremely nice because it came with a set of transfer letters, which I used to title the front of my collector's log and also to place my name on the cover. The next step in our homemade collector's log pre- ject is to acquire a package of standard 3" x 5" index cards, preferably lined. Using a felt-tipped pen, line off the appropriate number of columns to suit your needs. Illustrated is an example of my card layout. After much experimenting I have found this to be just about what I need to keep good records of my collection, but whatever you need you can do. L Typical card layout. Note index number in lower right- hand corner. Most of you are probably already saying there is not enough room on the cards for all your information. But wait! Note the column headed F/N (footnote). For every note in your collection for which you need more space, place the appropriate footnote number in the column. turn the card over, write the number and proceed to list the additional information or comments such as where bought, or what traded for, or even the pedigree of the note. The index cards are placed in the clear pockets one to a pocket or back-to-back if you have more cards than pockets. By placing the cards back-to-back the record book will hold 100 cards, instead of 50 cards one to a pocket. Placing the cards one to a pocket is much more convenient though, because just by flipping the leaf up you can read your footnotes. 1 Remember to write your footnotes in the proper orientation, so that when you flip the leaf up the footnote is not upside down.) After you have placed your cards in the acetate pockets in the order you would like them. go back and number each card in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner for indexing, As you will see, when your cards are placed in the leaves they will overlap and the bottom PAGE 194 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 of each card is visible. When your index numbers are placed on the cards every one of them will show, so that by referring to an index card placed in the top pocket of one or both trays of leaves, you can go quickly to any section or card in your record hook/ log. Devise your own index system to suit your needs. I have found that by numbering each card in a section with the same number serves my purpose (such as, all U.S. Note cards are #1. all Silver Certificate cards are #2, etc.). Also, using a different color of ink for the index numbers on the cards is very helpful for recogni- tion. Now for the final convincer: This is not complicated, time-consuming, or expensive! If you follow my instruc- tions it should take about 30 to 45 minutes to line-off all the cards and title the columns. The albums can be bought for as little as $2.99 and the best one I have seen was only $5.50. The index cards should be in the neighborhood of, say, fifty cents, for a total outlay of $3.50 to $6.00. The cheapest commercially available album of any comparison that I have seen is around $15.00 and I don't think it is nearly as attractive or "custom-made" to your needs as your finished product will be. After all, most of the reward of this album is that you did it yourself. I guarantee that you will be happy with it and proud to show your friends and fellow collectors what a nice collector's record keeping/ log hook you have. Federal Reserve Corner collectors take an unusually lax approach to/MANY the production of our paper money. It is difficult to determine why this should be the case. Knowl- edge of how our notes are produced and the steps by which the completed item is achieved can go a long way towards the explanation of an error or variety found on current currency. Therefore, it seems in order to give a short course in the printing of our basic commodity . . . money! The Bureau of Engraving and Printing currently prints all of our paper money on rotary presses. This is a comparatively new process, having been started in 1957 with the Series 1957 $1 Silver Certificates. Rotary presses carry a printing plate of 32-subjects, whereas the largest plate accommodated on the dd flat presses was 18-subject. The original rotary press had a complement of one plate, whereas the currently used Giori presses carry a complement of four plates. The Giori operates at a much higher speed, with a very large output in a 24-hour period. Currency paper is obtained under contract from the Crane Co.. and is a specially made security product. This paper is sent to press in a "dry" condition (as compared to the wet state of the flat press product). The reverse side of the sheet is printed first; these sheets are then accumulated on pallets. and each group of 100 sheets is marked with a divider. The ink used is a rapidly drying type, so there is no reason for a time delay in printing the other (face) side. The face is printed as required. This completes the engraved portion of our currency printing. Normally, after it has been accomplished, these full sheets are subjected to 100% inspection by the capable Bureau inspectors. Two things can happen if a sheet is partially defective: One, the entire sheet will be re- moved. Only full sheets of perfect notes will be retained. The other method is to mark the defective positions in the sheet, and these will later be replaced by "star" notes. These full sheets now can go two ways: One, the sheets are cut in half, giving two 16-subject sheets. These sheets will be used in COPE overprinting equipment. This automatic press process overprints on two consoles, each covering 16-subjects. The overprinted sheets are then automatically cut into individual notes, banded into 100s, and shelved in the proper numerical sequence for banding into bricks of 4,000 notes. This is all auto- matic! .As an alternative, the full sheet of 32-subjects is fed onto the presses (which are two-color) which overprint the district seal and four district numerals in black ink on the first printing head. The sheet then passes under the second printing head which places the green Treasury seal and the green serial numbers on the lower left side and upper right section of the note. All 32 subjects are overprinted at the same time, the different positions having been hand-set with proper starting serial num- bers for the press run of 20,000 sheets. These sheets are then taken to the guillotine, which cuts them in half, and then into the individual notes. These are then banded, subjected to a verified count. and put in proper sequence to go into the 4,000 note bricks. These bricks are now ready to go to the vault to be stored until shipment to your nearest Federal Reserve Branch Bank when ordered out. Within a few months after they have been printed, these notes will be ap- pearing in your local banks. We will cover other aspects of production in a later Corner. If you have any questions, they will be wel- comed. Personal replies made if a stamped, addressed envelope is enclosed. Thanks, and until next time . . . Adios! NATHAN GOLDSTEIN II P. 0. Box 36 Greenville, Miss. 38701 Anti-Rag Picker Not everyone regards the nickname "rag picker" with approval according to a recent Coin World editorial. Maj. Sheldon S. Carroll, curator of the numismatic collec- tion at the Bank of Canada, declared at a Canadian Numismatic Association banquet, "How can we expect others to respect our hobby when we don't respect it ourselves?"

S. Loan Office certificate with counterfoil. (The date on the back of the certificate appears to be Apr. 15, 1819 above the signature of Redford Webster.) N THE November, 1974 issue of this journal, Forrest Daniel presented an informative article concerning United States Loan Office Certificates after the Amer- ican Revolution. The illustrated certificate dated M arch 15, 1792 did not have the counterfoil which Mr. Daniel de- scribed as being "at the left on which the value could be recorded by cutting an irregular edge through groups of ten digits to express the value in los of thousands, thou- sands, hundreds, tens and units." In the syngraphic col- lection at The Chase Manhattan Bank we have one such certificate and I thought perhaps some of our readers might care to see an illustration, complete with counterfoil. I could add nothing to Mr Daniel's research, so I thought I would investigate the two names which appear on the accompanying illustration. N athaniel Appleton, Commis- sioner of Loans for the state of Massachusetts, practiced medicine in Boston. having received two degrees from Harvard in 1773 and 1774. Dr. Appleton was the incor- porator of The Massachusetts Medical Society and was the society's recording secretary for the first ten years of its existence ; during this time he did not miss a single meeting. The signature of Nathaniel Appleton appears on Loan Office Certificates as early as 5780. He died on April 15, 1795, two months before his .toth birthday. The patriotic Redford Webster who made this loan to the United States was a successful apothecary in Boston, although the American Antiquarian Society placed an M.D. behind his name on the list of members. (The society just mentioned petitioned the Boston Legislature in 1812, re- questing incorporation, which it received.) Redford Webster was one of the founding members and held the office of councillor from 1812-1816. At the first meeting of the American Antiquarian Society held at the Exchange Coffee House in Boston, he was chosen as one of the vice-presi- dents. On August 31, 1833, Webster died at the age of 72, and that is the extent of available information on the man who made a loan to the United States. However, in my search for additional information a skeleton, and I do mean skeleton, was exposed. Redford and Hannah Webster had a son John, who also graduated from Harvard, receiving a B.A. in 1811, and an M.D. in 1815. After some travel outside the United States. John returned to his alma mater to teach chemistry from PAGE 196 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 1824 to 1849. Young Webster was accustomed to living comfortably, but heing a poor manager of his finances, he lived beyond his means. In 1842, John Webster found it necessary to borrow $400 from Dr. George Parkman, a portion of which was re- paid by 1847. Dr. Parkman was obviously sympathetic and understanding but a poor businessman, because he accepted a note for $2,432 which included the unpaid balance of the first loan plus a larger second loan. The loan was secured by a mortgage on John Webster's personal prop- erty, which included a collection of minerals. The life of Reilly, or rather Webster, was difficult to change and so another loan of $1,200 from Robert Gould Shaw was contracted in 1848. For collateral, minerologist Webster signed over to Mr. Shaw the same mineral col- lection. This bit of tricky maneuvering came to the atten- tion of Dr. Parkman, who expressed his displeasure to the recipient of his loan. In what appeared as an attempt to assuage the anger of Dr. Parkman, a meeting was scheduled in the laboratory of John Webster. In the privacy of the laboratory Dr. Parkman received no money, not even an explanation; however, he did receive a blow on the head. After a few weeks Dr. Parkman was noticeably missed, and a search revealed his remains had been distributed below John Webster's laboratory vault . . in a tea chest . . . and in the murderer's furnace. Absolute identification was provided by a dentist who had made false teeth for the victim. John Webster was convicted and hanged on August 30. 85o; he received a decent burial. Every day we hear of someone who is trying "to get it all together." So if there is a moral to the above story it would be that Dr. Parkman could have kept himself "all together" if he would have loaned his money to Uncle Sam and not the mad doctor. U. S. Bicentennial Note Still Sought Gene Hessler Enters Campaign HE PROPOSED special $2 note for the Bicenten- nial is not yet dead, according to reports coming out of Washington and New York. Secretary of the Treasury Simon, testifying before a subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee on March 13, said he has a -personal bias" in favor of a $2 bill but that his "bureaucracy is opposed to it." The Federal Reserve System, too, is still opposed to reinstating the $2 note and recently commissioned a nationwide survey to determine public acceptance of the denomination. The poll results were said to be "in-con- clusive." In his testimony, Simon also favored a two-cent coin in a cheap metal which would be the hundredth part of the S2 note. Both the note and the coin would reduce total currency production costs. However, this economy Design concept for reverse of $2 Bicentennial com- memorative note suggested by Gene Hessler. Mock-up of the design reprinted here by courtesy of Numismatic News Weekly, Krause Publications, Iola, Wis. factor could be defeated by a special Bicentennial de- sign which might tend to take many of the notes out of circulation. Gene Hessler. curator of the Chase Manhattan Bank Money Museum, has added his personal clout to the campaign for a commemorative note, meeting with Deputy Assistant Treasury Secretary James Clawson and contacting other officials by letter as early as June, 1974. U. S. Treasurer Francine Neff, who expressed a positive interest, was to appear with Hessler on the NBC Today Show promoting the note but later cancelled out. Because it is now much too late to stage a design competition, Hessler came up with his own concept for a design. suggesting a famous early American woman for the face and using the Trumbull painting of the Declaration of Independence as seen on the $100 Na- tional Bank Note, series 1875, for the back. The dates 1776-1976 would be placed above it and the denomin- ation given both as two dollars and two hundred cents. Although Secretary Simon said he could see no need for special colors, Hessler suggested multi-colors and a size a fraction larger than current notes so that the $2 could be easily distinguished if it entered circulation. If necessary, it could be a red seal U. S. Note rather than a green seal Federal Reserve Note. He also suggested packaging CU notes and selling them at a premium, much like proof sets of coins. The concept of the proposed reverse shown here was created at Krause Publications and is reprinted with their permission. The Community Republican Club of Jackson Heights, New York adopted a resolution on April 21 supporting the $2 note idea but suggesting substitution of an American eagle for the traditional portrait on the face to avoid singling out any one found- ing father. Brazil is experiencing a paper money collecting boom, D. G. Coimbra of Rio de Janeiro reports in Coin World. Among other areas it is affecting rather common recent bills, such as the cruzeiro notes bearing the overprinted new centavo-cruzeiro values at the introduction of the "heavy cruzeiro" in the late 1960's. Now demonetized, these notes in "bricks" of 500 were available at one time directly from the government for $10. They are now selling at 10c each, spurred on by the availability of new currency albums. M A.

Map from Western Reserve Chronicle, Jan. -Feb. 1871 ANY STATE banks are interesting to paper money collectors because of their vivid connection with our early history. One of these banks is note- worthy not only for its long history in an important area of our developing country, but also for its name—The Western Reserve Bank of Warren, Ohio. This title re- calls the fact that a large area of Ohio was once a colony of Connecticut. In the 1630's, emigrants from the Massachusetts Bay Colony began to form new colonies to the south. Even- tually the settlement known as Connecticut became pre- dominant and in 1662 persuaded Charles II of England to grant it a territory about 65 miles wide and reaching in effect from ocean to ocean. Naturally, as some of the neighboring colonies de- veloped, disputes arose over this huge grant. Connecti- cut's attempts at a western colony were resisted by Pennsylvania, and eventually both Pennsylvania and New York gained control of large parts of it. Finally in 1786. Connecticut was persuaded to cede away to Congress most of her vast claim. In return it kept a large tract extending from Pennsylvania west as far as present-day Sandusky and south from Lake Erie as far as Youngs- town. This also included the future sites of Akron and Cleveland. When the Northwest Territory was created in 1787. it was composed of present-day Illinois, Indiana, Michi- gan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota. However, the area claimed by Connecticut remained separate and until 1800, when Connecticut finally withdrew its claim, this area was a colony of Connecticut and almost an inde- pendent state. Sometimes it was referred to as "New Connecticut," but the people who settled there called it the "Western Reserve." The first attempt at developing these lands came in 1788, when some 25.000 acres were sold to Judge Samuel Parsons. The judge's death soon after the purchase pre- vented the opening of these lands, and it was not until 1792 that the next attempt was made. At that time. Connecticut set aside 500.000 acres in the western part of the Reserve for her citizens who had suffered losses by fire or other causes during the Revolutionary War. These lands were called the "Firelands." The remaining three million acres were offered for sale in 1795. This land. which had never been sur- veyed, was purchased by a group of 35 Connecticut citizens for $1,200,000, a bargain price of 40c per acre. The revenue from this sale was used to provide Connecti- cut with a permanent school fund. The group of citizens joined together as the Connecti- cut Land Co. and elected Gen. Moses Cleaveland superin- tendent. In 1796 he organized and led a surveying party into the Reserve. The party mapped the area and PAGE 198 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 laid out the beginnings of the city of Cleveland. (The "a" in the General's name was dropped on maps.) The expedition also laid out the town of Warren, named after Moses Warren. one of the surveyors. The town was settled in 1799 and soon began to prosper with the developing country. Sawmills and gristmills sprang up along the Mahoning River. Warren was for a time more thriving than Cleveland. The first newspaper in the Reserve was started here, and soon Warren became the seat of the Western Reserve. A Bank Is Chartered at Warren, Ohio As economic growth continued, the need for a bank became more pressing. On Feb. 20, 1812, a bank was chartered at Warren, with Gen. Simon Perkins as presi- dent and capitalized at $100,000. It opened for business Nov. 12, 1812. Even though all of the area had become part of the state of Ohio in 1803. the bank was called "The Western Reserve Bank." Warren's growth now slowed, and it did not incorpo- rate as a town until 1834. The bank, however, was able to prosper due to its capable president. Gen. Perkins remained as chief executive until 1836; it was his lively interest and devotion to the hank's reputation which helped make The Western Reserve Bank the only state chartered hank in Ohio to remain sound and solvent until the end of state organization. The bank had been given a new charter in 1816 under the Bonus Law by which it had to give up one out of every 25 shares of its stock to the state. In return it was chartered to Dec. 31. 1842. at which time the "bonus" from the dividends on the stock was to be paid. Also, and most important, banks organized under the law were exempted from state taxes. Simon Perkins, who opposed this law, favored an annual tax instead. He remarked that the law was passed "without the application of the banks and without regard for actual banking conditions." This Bonus Law undoubtedly did much to encourage unscrupulous bank- ers in the state, which in turn led to much resentment among citizens of Ohio towards banks in general. Although the bank was forced to suspend specie pay- ment for a few months during the general suspensions in 1814 and 1837, its success was proven during the financial crisis of 1818, when scores of banks were failing and the agents of the Second Bank of the United States were trying to redeem the circulating notes of the Ohio banks in specie. The Western Reserve Bank was able to redeem all but $10,000 of an outstanding $50,000. The hank survived this crisis and in 1829 was one of only two banks in the Reserve. Soon this number in- creased and by 1834 there were six. By 1836. there were 28 banks in Ohio. In 1828, the first full year of operation of the Ohio and Erie Canal helped boom the Reserve. In 1836, an ex- tension canal reached Warren. This, along with a turn- pike dating from 1828, opened Warren up to Lake Erie commerce and also to the Atlantic coast. By 1834 the bank's capital had increased to $144,051. Unfortunately, the Ohio legislature was becoming opposed to banks. Inept or dishonest management characterized far too many of them. By the 1840's, when charters granted under the Bonus Law were expiring, the legislature was reluctant to renew them. By 1845, there were only eight banks left in the state; The West- ern Reserve Bank was not one of them, since it had been forced to liquidate on Dec. 31. 1842. Although Simon Perkins had resigned from the bank in 1836, he still was highly regarded as an astute banking man. In 1341, he was called before the legislature to offer his views on proposed banking reform. Perkins. however, believed that there was such a hostile feeling towards banks that the best idea might be to let people see how they could get along without banks for awhile. In the end this is just what the legislature let happen. Finally in 1845 both citizens and lawmakers realized how vital banks were to the state's economy. The legis- lature began again to charter banks under a new and tougher banking law. In July, 1845, The Western Re- serve Bank was reorganized under the independent banking law and began a new life which took it success- fully through the Civil War era. Warren was the seat of Trumbull County, and dis- covery of oil there helped contribute to the area's growth. A plank road was completed in 1849, and in 1857 the Cleveland and Mahoning Valley Railroad passed through Warren on its way to Youngstown. Lucas, Garrison & Co. - Where Were You? This article is the fourth in a series devoted to the many varied stories con- cerning Indiana obsolete notes and the banks and bankers who made them possible. WHOLE NO. 58 Paper Money PAGE 199 In 1863, the bank nationalized and received charter number 74 as The First National Bank of Warren. After thus changing its distinctive name, it carried on busi- ness through the remaining years of the 19th century as it had in the previous years. In 1902, it was suc- ceeded by the Union National Bank, which in turn was liquidated in 1911. So ended the career of one of our pioneer banks. The people whom it served during its long career undoubted- ly held it in high regard for its stability during times when irresponsible banks were too often the rule. To- day, bank note collectors can remember it not only for this but also for carrying on in its title the memory of New Connecticut. SOURCES Conlin, Mary Lou: Simon.

"Del" Bertschy of Milwaukee, became the first recipient for 1975 of the Numismatic News Weekly Numismatic Ambassador award. The presentation was made at the May conven- tion of Numismatists of Wisconsin by publisher Chester Krause. Mr. Bertschy, 78, has collected coins since 1908, and has been active in NOW as well as the Central States Numismatic Society. In making the award, Krause explained its signifi- cance thus: "We have long felt that certain individuals, WHOLE NO. 58 Paper Money PAGE 201 while recognized for their special contributions to the hobby in the local area, have not received the national recognition that is merited. After all, it's the grass roots support that has made our hobby truly national in scope and influence." SPMC at TNA Tom Bain reports from Dallas that an SPMC luncheon was held on April 12, 1975 at the 17th Texas Numismatic Association convention. Nineteen members attended, in- cluding Grover Criswell, Lyn Knight, Dean Petersen, Barry Martin, J. L. Irish, Bill Corbin, Matt Rothert, Chet Krause, Charles Wingo, Dale Ennis, Homer Brooks, Bob Medlar, Kenneth Keith, G. J. Johnson, George Hatie, Roman Latimer, Frank Nowak, John Pittman and Tom Bain.

Take a few moments to borrow it from the library and I'm sure you'll see what I mean! AN APPEAL! I am often put in the embarrassing position of in- forming members that the library does not have a com- plete run of the Society's own magazine! In addition several extra copies of the early issues have been "liberated" from the library over the years. I have reached the point where I can no longer send out any of the first four volumes but must photocopy articles for members on request. We are in desperate need of Volume 3, nos. 1, 2, and 3 (Winter, Spring, and Summer 1964) as we have NO copies of these issues. In addition, I would like to obtain at least one additional copy of Vol. 1, nos. 1, 2, 3, & 4; Vol. 2, nos. 1, 2, 3, & 4; Vol. 3 nos. 1, 2, 3, & 4 (in addition to the above); and Volume 4, no. 1. If enough copies are received, I am confident that we can resume the sending of these early editions. Please forward any of your "orphans" to the address listed at the beginning of this column. Membership Participation Column SYNGRAPHI-CHAT Mailing Paper Money Collectibles The transferring or shipping of paper money from one person to another is often worrisome. As a collector, I have had a great deal more sent to me than I have shipped myself, and for the most part, it has been for- warded to me by the U. S. mails. In an effort to find the best method of shipping, I con- tacted or researched five other types of carriers but have found nothing to take the place of the mails. The others are for the most part franchised by the government to operate within certain narrow confines that do not allow the necessary flexibility required by most of us. Also, my personal experience with the mails has been excellent. As notes come to me from around the country, I find that there are as many different methods of packaging as shipments. From them I have learned that certain ones are superior to others. Bear in mind that I have re- ceived notes stapled to cardboard to prevent slippage; notes folded; notes sent by first class mail without any registration. In one such case, the notes were sent thus without my knowing or ordering them. Wouldn't that have been a fine kettle to stew in if they had been lost? On the other hand, I have received notes that were over- packaged and hence cost too much to ship. Because of these experiences I submitted to the office of the Postmaster General in Washington an AU small- size Silver Certificate in an acetate folder further en- closed in the proper sized Safe-T-Mailer manufactured by the Safe-T-Mailer Co. of Westport, CT 06880. The entire thing was slipped into a No. 10 white envelope addressed according to regulations. PAGE 202 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 58 The envelope was received in Washington where it was tested for possible damage and found to pass the require- ments of reasonable protection to the contents. The Postal Service would prefer that shipments be made by registered mail with a return receipt requested. All shipments valued over $200 must be sent by registered mail if insurance is required. Those under $200 may be sent by insured third or fourth class mail; if they exceed certain weight limits, they are sent as "priority mail", essentially air mail, at no extra cost. Consult your local post office for further details and specifications for proper sealing. There may well be mailing products other than the one mentioned which will work equally well. I would be in- terested in hearing other members' experiences with them. JOHN R. PALM Bury Your Scissors To this student of obsolete paper money collecting, "original state of preservation" plays a large part in the building of a collection. As the coin collector, the syngraphist strives to obtain the best possible condition he can afford. There is, however, a serious problem about the cutting up of obsolete sheets, thereby effectively reducing one sheet of notes to four single notes. As collectors I am sure most of you know to what I am referring. A peek through almost any dealer's selection will most likely turn up quite a number of this type note which has been cut from remainder sheets. Most all of the obsolete notes available today were printed in sheets of one, two, or four notes. These notes were signed, cut and distributed at the bank of origin. However, due to vari- ous circumstances, many of these sheets of uncut bills were preserved in their original state just as they came from the engraver. To have or collect different specimens of these artistically engraved items in sheet form brings a high degree of satisfaction and accomplishment not evident in the possession of even the same two or four notes singly. Nor should it bring the same satisfaction! The possessor of a sheet of obsolete currency truly has a piece of history in his hands. There could be a number of motives involved in the cutting up of these sheets, of which I am sure profit is at the top of the list. Some people are quick to realize that a sheet which would bring only about $25 as a single entity could possibly bring $40 when cut up and sold as four separate notes. Another motive could be to obtain a crisp note which does look nicer than one in lesser grade. Personally, I would prefer a signed and dated note that has seen circulation than the identical note as it is cut from an unsigned and undated sheet. I have no grievance with the person who will sell or trade these cut-up notes but I do complain about the fellow who is doing the buying or the cutting. As syngraphists of the 1970's we should commit ourselves to some higher ideals for our hobby. If we go on de- stroying these items of historical interest, what will be left for our children to see or collect? Certainly a com- plete sheet of obsolete notes is worth much more histori- cally (if not monetarily) than the UNC. U/S, U/D notes we so often see advertised. I suppose when the supply of uncut sheets reaches a certain level the premium will adjust itself so that it will no longer be profitable to cut notes from the sheet to sell them as singles. It's only too bad that we will probably have to wait for the day to come when it just isn't worth it to cut up sheets before this great disservice to our fu- ture generations will finally stop. At that point there will most likely be too few uncut sheets left to be widely col- lected, and fewer of the next generation of collectors will be able to collect and enjoy them. Perhaps I shouldn't even be writing this. As you have surmised by now, the more sheets that are cut up the less the remaining supply and the higher the monetary po- tential or return, and as a collector of obsolete sheets this could mean more money in my pocket when the time comes to sell. Well, it just can't be that way! At least not for me and hopefully not for most of you. We owe it to future collectors to preserve history in its most original form. Consequently I urge all collectors and dealers who would be moved by some motive to cut up obsolete sheets to bury their sciessors and help preserve history for our children and for the future. C. JOHN FERRERI "bhero shout (1 my dollar be spent?" Specialized Collecting Is specialized collecting of currency the most advanta- geous way for the beginning collector to start? The usual recommendation made these days by cur- rency dealers, and those knowledgeable in the field, is to specialize and concentrate in one area of currency in- stead of purchasing one or two items of the various types of currency available. I don't think it's my place to disagree in total with what they say, although I do feel that the beginning collector especially will derive much more benefit by starting his collection with as many various "types" as he is able to afford. At some later date in his collecting life, should he want to specialize, then is the time to start. The early formative years are most important in any stage of life, as well as currency collecting, where I think the introduction should be made to all the types available . . . and this "type" of collection does make a fine display also.
