Paper MoneyWHOLE NO. 64/65 PAGE 183 All photographs by the author ew York's First rre Printer MONG the numerous landmarks in lower Manhattan, one that has a great deal of interest for syngraphists s at 81 Pearl Street. Every day hundreds of people working in or visiting the New York financial district walk along this narrow street and probably never notice the bronze plaque placed on the face of this landmark in 1893 by the New York Historical Society. At the time, the Society paid homage to the first printer in the state by commemorating the zooth anniversary of the introduction of printing to colonial New York. Along these narrow streets, typical of such colonial cities as New York, Boston and Philadelphia, there are still a few buildings occupied by city dwellers. In 1709 (a date which will prove important to us), the hogs roaming through the streets disrupted traffic. The colonial residents and their livestock gave way to a lively, sometimes frenetic, way of life centering around the financial district which now dominates original downtown New York. New York City can claim quite a few firsts, but those attributed to William Bradford are of special interest to the collector and student of American colonial paper money. William Bradford, born in Leicestershire, England on May 20, 1663, served as an apprentice to Andrew Sowle, chief London Quaker printer. Bradford embraced the religion of his master and on occasion must have also embraced Elizabeth Sowle, his master's daughter, for they were married on April 28, 1685. The young couple came to America that same year and lived in Philadelphia and Oxford Township, where William Bradford set up printing offices. In his first publication, "Kalendarium Pennsilvaniense, or America's Messenger; Being an Almanack for the Year of Grace 1686," Samuel Atkins, the author, dubbed William Penn as "Lord Penn." The young printer was not only reprimanded by the Quakers for his part in this lack of respect, but was advised not to print anything about the sect without the consent of the Quaker Council. Nevertheless, in 1689, Bradford was again reprimanded, this time by Governor Blackwell, for printing Penn's Charter. (It is not clear why this was considered an offense.) The harassment from both religious and civil leaders was too much for Bradford, so he and his wife left the land of freedom and returned to England. By GENE HESSLER At least two other colonial printers were silenced before William Bradford decided to return to England. In 1643, Stephen Daye, the first printer in Massachusetts, was placed under a bond of hoo by the General Court; later, in 1682, the first printer in Virginia (supposedly William Nutlead) was silenced. Notwithstanding, the Pennsylvania Quakers needed a good of £40 per year. Upon his return to Pennsylvania in the printer and recalled William Bradford in 1690 for a salary WHOLE N. 64/65Paper MoneyPAGE 184 - // • ( Oir / 1 ) 5 shilling note, printed by William Bradford, with inverted "d" in fifth line. same year, Bradford and William Rittinghuysen established the first paper mill in English America at Roxborough Paper-Mill Run, Pennsylvania, and subsequently Bradford resumed his chosen profession of printer. It was not long before the Quakers stopped the rebel press. Bradford was arrested and all his equipment was confiscated by the sheriff for printing the "Appeal from the Twenty-eight Judges" by John Keith. Keith was the founder of the "Christian Quakers," whose beliefs were in conflict with the Quaker establishment in Pennsylvania. A jury was unable to agree on the charge, and the perturbed printer was freed and his property returned to him. About this time, Frances Lovelace, second Governor of New York, expressed a desire to have a printer. The New York Provincial Council passed the following resolution: "March 23, 1693, Resolved in Council, That if a Printer will come and settle in the city of New-York for the print- ing of our Acts of Assembly and Publick Papers, he shall be allowed the sum of £40 current money of New-York per annum for his salary and have the benefit of his print- ing besides what serves the public." William Bradford applied and was accepted as the "Printer to King William and Queen Mary." In New York, he printed documents and religious pam- phlets without censure. The first effort from his press was probably "An Act for raising six Thousand Pound[s] for the payment of three Hundred Volunteers and their Officers to be employed in the Reinforcement of the Frontier's of this Province at Albany," in 1693. Later, in the same year, Bradford began to print the "Votes" of the Assembly, the earliest legislative proceedings in America. The list of printing firsts for William Bradford grows with the first drama written in English America, Androboros (Man Eater [in] Fools Town) in three acts by Hunter Roberts (1714); the first American Book of Common Prayer (1718) ; the first history of New York (1727); and, what interests us most, the first New York currency in May of 1709. Three other colonies issued their own paper money later in 1709: New Jersey in June (also printed by Bradford), Connecticut in July, and New Hampshire in December. Only two colonies issued paper money before New York: Massachusetts in 1690 to back an expedition into Canada to fight the French, and South Carolina in 1703 to pay for the expedition against the Spanish in Florida. The first emission of New York currency (totaling i.5,000) was in five denominations: 5, to, 20 and 40 shillings and is; the notes were all printed in sheets of four with blank backs. One-half of the total 5 shilling issue had an inverted "d" in the word "and." (See the fifth line of text on the illustrated note.) Four different signatures appear on the notes dated 1709: Johannes DePeyster, Robert Lurting, Lawrence Reade and Robert Walter. Of the four, Johannes DePeyster, who served as mayor of New York in 1698 when the population was less than 400o, is recognized immediately, being a descendent of another Johannes DePeyster, one of the earliest Dutch settlers who came to New Amsterdam when the city had fewer than 800 people. (Incidentally, the name was changed to New York in 1664.) It is interesting to note that the Dutch province of New Netherland (New York City, Long Island and parts of Connecticut) was purchased for the equivalent of $24. Now it would be difficult to rent office space in downtown Manhattan at $24 per square foot. But we must return to William Bradford, the first printer in New York. There are more firsts to add to his accomplishments. From 1703 to 1733, Bradford served as official printer to neighboring New Jersey. In 1730, he prepared the first copperplate plan of New York, called "Lynne's Survey." In 1725, he founded the New York Gazette, the first news- paper in New York; it was printed at 6o Beaver Street. By 1726 the paper had been expanded to four pages, or one full sheet of foolscap. In 1893, the New York Historical Society also recognized this address as a landmark by placing a bronze plaque on the building which now occupies this site. The building is the old Cotton Exchange; the plaque is located on the far side of the building facing Hanover Square. In 1723, two years before the New York Gazette was first published, William Bradford interviewed a young man seeking employment as a printer. The youth later wrote in his biography, "I found myself in New York, near 300 miles from Home [Boston], a boy of but 17, without the least recommendation to, or knowledge of, any person in the place and with very little money in my pocket . . . I offer'd my services to the printer of the place, old Mr. William Bradford . . . He could give me no employment ... having ... help enough already...." Old Mr. Bradford Five Shiiliags.

(Courtesy of The New York Public Library) In 1903, Dodd Mead & Company prepared this plate as a tribute to William Bradford and his many accomplish- ments. The satanic figure emerging from the egg probably symbolizes the first "printer's devil," the name usually applied to a printer's helper.

There is no indication that William Bradford felt restricted in his work in New York; however, as a govern- ment printer, he could not print anything which opposed government policy. Therefore a second newspaper, the New York Journal, was started on November 5, 1733 by John Peter Zenger, who had been apprenticed to Bradford for eight years. Council member Rip Van Dam had views he wished to see in print, so he gave the Journal his financial support. In 1735, Zenger was arrested for attacking the establish- ment with the printed word. He had also printed satires and verbal caricatures of Royal Governor William Cosby, his Council and friends. At least three lawyers were con- sidered as attorneys to handle Zenger's case, but martyrdom was not their cup of tea. At the last moment, the most famous lawyer in the colonies, Andrew Hamilton came forth to champion freedom of speech. On August 4, 1 735, John Peter Zenger was acquitted. Embedded in the pave- ment in front of Federal Hall in New York City is a plaque placed there in 1958 by Sigma Delta Chi, National Professional Journalistic Fraternity, which recognized this momentous date. Years after both Zenger and Hamilton had died, Gouverneur Morris wrote, "The trial of Zenger was the germ of American freedom—the morning star of that liberty which subsequently revolutionized America." Zenger's acquittal was the world's first victory for freedom of the press. William Bradford had retired in 1742 at the age of 8o, but the Gazette was continued until November 19, 1744 by James Parker, his apprentice and successor. Parker also printed New York's currency between October 20, 1739 and April 15, 1758. With the exception of the December 10, 1737 issue printed by Zenger (the same year he was appointed public printer), William Bradford printed all of the New York currency until the October 20, 1739 emission.

At a later date, which is unknown to me, William Bradford married a widow, Cornelia Smith, who must have succumbed before he had retired and moved in with his son. Near his first wife, Elizabeth, and many famous early Americans, Brad- ford was buried at Trinity Church where he had served as vestryman from 1703 to 1710. On the marker at his grave, which was restored in 1862, the year of his birth appears as I66o. All other sources give 1663, so we can only assume the stone-cutter mistook an eroded "3" to be a "o." Many of the works printed by William Bradford can be found in the Lenox Library, a division of the New York Public Library, the New York Historical Society, the Pennsylvania Historical Society and the Library Com- pany of Philadelphia. Examples of the New York and New jersey currency which he printed are in the hands of fortunate collectors. William Bradford lived to be 89, an age not reached by many in the mid-18th century. He was ”. . . a Man of great Sobriety and Industry; a real Friend to the Poor and Needy; and kind and affable to all . . . his Temperance was exceedingly conspicuous, and he was almost a Stranger to sickness all his life." These are the words of James Parker, the apprentice and successor to the first printer in New York.

HUGHES The war against the rebellious South was quite remote to the average Philadelphian in February, 1862. News- papers published daily dispatches from the front about the ten-month-old struggle, but the military operations were far away and of little concern. Sam Upham had no thought of the war on the cold morning of February 24, 1862. His interest that day was the same as it was all other days—to sell enough patent medicines, perfume, stationery items, notions and foreign and local newspapers in his little shop at 403 Chestnut Street to earn a living. But a single item relating to the war in that day's issue of the Philadelphia "Daily Inquirer" was to greatly improve Sam's economic status, adversely affect the Southern cause, and plague the numismatic world even today. A bundle of "Inquirers" was delivered as usual to the door of Sam's shop that day. Glancing at the front page, he saw nothing which might enhance the paper's sale, so he placed them on the rack and returned to his work A short time later Sam realized that people other than his regular customers were buying the "Inquirer". His supply was soon gone and he had to turn away many people who came to buy. "What was in the paper that made it so much in demand today?" he asked one disappointed man who came to his shop. "A facsimile of a Confederate $5 note," the man replied. "It's the first rebel money anyone has seen hereabout. Everybody is clipping the note for a sou- venir," the man related. Sam Upham made a quick decision. He had not seen the copy of the Confederate note. yet from what the disappointed buyer had said Sam had recognized a possible chance to make some extra money. He hurried to the "Inquirer" office and purchased an electrotype plate of the $5 Confederate note. At a nearby printing shop he ordered 3,000 copies run off on French letter paper. In Sam's own words, they "sold like hot-cakes" at one cent each. Realizing he had an item in great demand, Sam supplied the souvenir Confederate notes to newsboys at fifty cents a hundred. He was later surprised to learn that some of the boys were getting as much as a nickel apiece for them. The demand for the notes seemed unlimited. Immediate plans were made to insure a steady production. One change was made on the second printing —a tiny inscription reading "FAC-SIMILE CONFED- ERATE NOTES SOLD, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL, BY S. C. UPHAM, 403 CHESTNUT STREET, PHILAD." was printed on the margin of the notes. Why this was done is not certain. Perhaps the printer feared possible charges of counterfeiting; more likely, Sam wanted to do a little advertising. "Mere coincidence," Sam insisted when it was pointed out that this inscription could easily be clipped off, leaving no indication that the note was not authentic Confederate currency. He later made quite a point of the fact that all his products bore this inscription, de- claring his only interest was in supplying the souvenir market. Why he protested so is not known, but it per- haps was to avoid incurring the wrath of the many Southern sympathizers living in Philadelphia and other Northern cities. The $5 note which started it all was dated September 2, 1861. It is known today as Criswell Type No. 31, Slabaugh No. 22, and Chase No. 114. The design fea- tured Minerva at the left, a statue of Washington at the right, and five seated females representing Agriculture, Commerce, Industry, Justice and Liberty in the center.

These two notes are exactly the same as Illustration No. to except for the use of a different type-face style for Upham's advertisement on the lower margin. This may indicate that there was a heavy demand for this particular note and Upham made three different press runs over a period of time. between February 24, 1862 and August 1, 1863, he printed 1,564,050 facsimile Confederate notes. Upham was considered an arch enemy by the Con- federacy. Whether this bothered him or not is unknown, but he was well aware of Southern feelings toward him. He stated in a letter he wrote in 1874 that "during the publication of those facsimile notes I was the best abused man (by the rebels) in the Union. Senator Foote, in a speech before the rebel Congress, at Richmond, in 1862, said I had done more to injure the Confederate cause than General McClellan and his army. Since the close of the war I have learned that President Jeff. Davis during the rebellion offered a reward of $10,000 for my corpus, dead or alive." If ever there was any official U. S. Government re- cognition of Upham's contribution to the war effort, the author has been unable to find it. Needless to say, however, to the South where the currency was backed only by the faith of the people, the flood of Upham "souvenirs" did great damage. Nor did such damage die with Confederacy. These "souvenirs" are still with us today and pose a tremendous problem to the collector of Confederate currency. To the beginner, unfamiliar with genuine Confederate notes, a well-circulated Upham copy with the advertisement long since clipped off looks quite authentic. Many collectors have been keenly disap- pointed to find that the "rare" note found in some dusty attic is not genuine. Numerous Upham notes circulate in STATE OF VIRGINIA.

Ioc—Bank of Tennessee, Nashville. The Upham copy is a fair imitation. The most obvious difference, other than the printed signatures, is in the background design behind the words "Ten Cents” at the left and right ends.

WS, 0, $20—Female Riding Deer, the famous Bogus Note. No genuine Confederate note of this design was ever issued. Upham had no way of knowing this, so he apparently purchased the note as genuine and proceeded to copy it. Arlie Slabaugh has a lengthy discussion of this note in his book "Confederate States Paper Money". The workmanship is typically Upham. The signatures are printed and on this particular note the serial number 6430 is also printed, although other issues were printed with the serial number omitted. It was printed in black and red, black and orange, black and green, and possibly other colors. Slabaugh offers some interesting theories on the designer of this note, since it is generally agreed that Upham was not the originator. the market today, being bought and sold time after time by unscrupulous or unwary persons until someone finally gets stuck with them. The danger is minimized, as in most things numismatic, through knowledge gained from study of the genuine article and comparison with the known counterfeit. Fortunately, Upham's notes are quite easy to detect through careful scrutiny. The author has been quite fortunate in acquiring many of the Upham notes with the advertisement intact and in such excellent condition that photographs show most of the detail. Some general observations will help identify these "souvenirs" even though the margin has been trimmed to eliminate the advertisement. First of all, look for printed signatures. Every genuine Confederate note except the small 50c notes of 1863 and 1864 have autograph signatures, usually in brown ink. This ink, very corrosive in nature, in many cases has eaten away the paper and will show through on the back of the note as damage or a very dark stain. Any note where the signatures are printed along with the basic design can automatically be classed as counterfeit. Try to obtain a known genuine note for comparison. This is especially important when the purchase of one of the rare notes of 1861 is contemplated. Many dealers simply do not have the specialized knowledge necessary to pick out counterfeits and in all sincerity will sell them as genuine. Look for crude workmanship in the various parts of the design. The portraits suffer considerably in most cases because of the difficulty in getting a life-like ap- pearance from anything less than highly-skilled techni- ques. Check the border designs for signs of "muddiness" or lack of fine detail. Shading around the letters often will be made of heavy lines instead of the very fine lines used in authentic notes. And last, but quite important, be suspicious of any of the early Confederate notes in perfect condition. Many genuine notes, especially those issued in 1861, never show up in flawless condition for the simple reason that all of them were released into circulation. The chances of such a note being found today in flawless condition are very remote. With the accompanying illustrations of Upham notes are points of identification which may be helpful in recognizing them. The author wishes to thank his good friends Charles Affleck, Philip Chase, Ben Douglas and Ellis Edlow for their assistance in the preparation of this article. Grateful acknowledgment is also made to the Western Publishing Company, Racine, Wisconsin for permis- sion to reprint this article which first appeared in the May 1965 issue of the "Whitman Numismatic Journal". Minor changes have been made to update some of the material. PAGE 200 WHOLE NO. 64/65Paper Money WISCONSIN'S "FIRST" NATIONALS By M. Ow en Warns National Bank Note collectors who specialize in the notes from their native or home state nearly all harbor the desire to own a "No. 1 note," a note with bank tally number 1 (the number usually found in the lower left corner commonly called the bank serial number). Ac- quiring one of these "first" notes is often the gratifying result of a long search. No. 1 notes, because they were the first notes of a particular bank's issue, were often saved by the bank president or other official. Thus, they are often found today as nice uncirculated specimens or showing mini- mal handling. Consequently, No. 1 notes, because of their top condition and status as "first" notes, often com- mand substantial premiums over a similar note from the issuing bank. It should also be noted that there can exist more than one No. 1 note of an issue. Each note on the first sheet printed carried bank tally number 1, although the Treasury Department serial number dif- fered on each. For example, since small denomination First Charter notes were printed on sheets of three $1 notes and a Lazy Deuce, the first such sheet printed for each bank would have contained a trio of No. 1 $1s and a single No. 1 $2. Presented here is a selection of No. 1 notes from Wisconsin, including some interesting varieties. Among the large size notes, all three primary note-issuing periods are represented. The notes illustrated herein offer an insight to a popular phase of National Bank Note col- lecting. FIRST CHARTER PERIOD—ORIGINAL SERIES $1, The First National Bank of Chippewa Falls. This bank was established Sept. 15, 1873 with charter number 2125. The note has the signatures of Allison and Spinner for the U.S. (Friedberg 382) and V. W. Bayless, cashier, and Thomas L. Habbert, president. for the bank. This note is from position 'A' (indicated at lower right, to right of date the top of a sheet containing three $1 notes and a $2.

The note is from position 'D' (bottom) on a sheet of four $5s. This is the only known survivor from a total printing of 11,220 notes. The bank liquidated Oct. 2, 1873. SECOND CHARTER PERIOD—SERIES 1882 BROWN BACKS $5. The Citizens National Bank of Stevens Point. Established May 9, 1893 under charter number 4912.

CANADIAN SECTION STRONG IN AUGUST MERKIN SALE The choice, specialized Brussels Collection of Colonial, Continental, United States, Confederate and Canadian paper money was sold at auction Aug. 20-21 in New York City by Lester Merkin Coins in conjunction with Spink & Sons of London. Well attended by early arrivals to the American Numismatic Association convention; the auction was, according to Merkin, "marked by determined bidding throughout, culminating in a very strong finish in the Canadian section." The 468 lots of Colonial and Continental currency provided a liberal selection for every level of collector and the overall result confirmed the price trend set this spring by which the more common notes, and those in lower grades, have stabilized at 60%-70% of their 1975 highs, while choice condition notes or prime rarities have either held their own or advanced to new, higher levels. Examples in the sale included a VG counterfeit of the Massachusetts Dec., 1775, Sword-in-Hand 36-shilling note engraved by Paul Revere that was knocked down at $850; a half sheet of "Guaranteed by the United States" Massachusetts notes of 1780 that sold for $800 and a VF specimen of the 7-shilling New Hampshire Merchant's note of 1734 that realized $4,000 despite the fact that two others among the seven known ex- amples have been offered in the past year. Also, a North Carolina $10 Hillsborough note of Aug. 21, 1775, grading VF, was bid up to $675 on a $300 estimate. The Continental notes were led by a choice about XF example of the colorful $20 marbled-edge bill of May 10, 1775, which sold for $1,600 in brisk bidding. A small, but exclusive, United States section was high- lighted by the offer of an essai for a $500 two-year 5% note of March 3, 1863, which traded at $3,200. Top selling note among the regular issue U.S. paper (and for entire sale) was an AU Series 1869 $100 bill (Fried- berg 168) which opened at $2,700 and went to $6,800. A large offering of Confederate notes provided proof that demand for nice type notes continues to be strong. A VF $1,000 1861 Montgomery (Criswell 1) went for $2,300 and was closely followed by an Indian Princess $5 (C-271) that fetched $1,700 in fine condition. Strong bidding from north of the border during the sale of the 166 lots of Canadian paper currency proved to be the real highlight of the 695-lot auction. Believed to be Canada's first bank note, this 1792 five shillings, grading XF, sold for $1,050—nearly twice catalog estimate—in the Aug. 20-21 Lester Merkin auction. Estimates fell far behind as a DC-1 Province of Cana- da $5 note, grading VG, reached $2,000; a 5-shilling note of the Canada Bank, Aug. 10, 1792, (believed to be the first Canadian bank note) netted $1,050 and a 5- pound proof from the Bank of Charlottestown sold for $1,000. A choice pair of Bank of Nova Scotia (1.10- and 2.10- pounds) notes went to $2,100 from a $425 opener and a full sheet of George King scrip lived up to expecta- tions by commanding a $4,200 bid against a $1,750 estimate. A copy of the sale catalog and list of prices realized from the Brussels Collection auction may be obtained for $5 from Lester Merkin, 445 Park Ave., New York, N.Y. 10022.

The meeting was presided over by President Robert E. Medlar. The Treasurer's report, given by C. John Ferreri, showed a balance of $14,440.99 as compared to $15,318.10 for 1975. Byron Johnson reported to the membership on his attendance to the Syngraphic Liaison Group, with re- marks on grading of paper money, which is currently being studied, and the functions of the organization. George Wait gave a report on the present status of the revision works of obsolete notes. He reported that the New Jersey book, which is being published by the Newark Museum, and partly sponsored by SPMC, will be out in about 6 weeks. The book will sell for $18.50; but, to SPMC members, the price will be $15.00. Also, he said the Maine book is set in type, and he has just received the final proofs from Krause Publications for review. The Indiana book is finished and is next in line, after Maine, to be sent to Krause Publications to be printed. The Secretary's report reflected the Society has a current membership of 2028—down 94 members from 1974-1975. Roy Pennell, our Publisher, made his report on the sale of books and back issues of PAPER MONEY, stating several books had sold well, others have been slow; but, overall the sales had been satisfactory for the past year. Harry G. Wigington, head of the Nominating Com- mittee read his report, which included the nomination of the following five members for a three year term on the Board of Governors: Eric P. Newman, Robert E. Medlar, C. John Ferreri, Richard Jones, and Michael A. Crabb, Jr. Under the provisions of our By-Laws, the name of Bernard J. Schaaf was placed on the ballot. Ballots were passed to the membership in attendance, with the voting showing the following results: Eric Newman-68; Robert Medlar-77; John Fer- reri-62; Richard Jones-55; Michael Crabb-73; and Bernard Schaaf-48. As a result, Messrs. Newman, Medlar, Ferreri, Jones and Crabb were elected to a three year term on the Board of Governors. With the present 10 members, these persons will constitute the Board for 1975-1976. President Medlar gave an account of the Executive Board meeting to the general membership. The meeting was thrown open to general discussion and some of the items brought up were: 1. Eric Newman made a request to send a letter of appreciation to Barbara Mueller, our retired editor. This request was accepted. 2. A request was made to present Miss Mueller with a Life Membership. Medlar advised that we have no life memberships, and that none are being con- sidered at the present time. Miss Mueller is an Honorary Member. 3. Michael Crabb discussed the all-paper money show coming up in June, 1977, to be held in Memphis, Tenn. 4. Doug Watson, the new editor of PAPER MONEY, was introduced to the membership and spoke briefly on his objectives in regards to the Journal. Also, it was announced that one issue would be doubled, combining two issues, to catch up on the lag re- sulting from the change in editors. 5. Joe Clarke, Washington, D.C., invited the SPMC to hold a regional meeting at the July, 1977 Metro Washington Numismatic Association show. 6. Charles Culver discussed Regional meeting to be located in Los Angeles on 2/25/77, as well as the location of other regional meetings in 1977. 7. Austin Shoheen, publisher of the BANK NOTE RE- PORTER, donated to SPMC, up to 1 page in the BNR to be used by the Society for exposure and se- curing new members. His offer was accepted and highly received by the membership. 8. Discussion was made by several members and the President regarding election procedures and the up- dating of our By-Laws. A committee was to he selected for this study and to report back to the President. The meeting was then adjourned. Individuals interested in membership in the Society, may write: Harry G.

AUCTION ASSAYS ESSAI AT $3,200 Essai for a $500 two-year Interest Bearing Note at 5% dated April 1, 1863, relevant to the act of March 3, 1863, sold for $3,200 in the Aug. 20-21 auction of the Brussels Collection by Lester Merkin in New York City. The gray obverse depicts at left a figure believed to be Columbus; at right, the sun rises over mountains and a waterfall. Color of reverse is green. Merkin says the note is "executed by an engraving technique that differs noticeably from that which has been used on notes is- sued by the U.S. Treasury since 1861." The $500 note that was actually issued under the 1863 act was of a different design and is described in Fried- berg (No. 205) and in Hessler (No. 1342). Hessler also notes another $500 Interest Bearing Note (No. 1341) which was printed but never released. Merkin speculated that this note could be the unissued type, and catalogs it as "possibly unique."

WHOLE NO. 64/65 Paper Money PAGE 207 FIRST OF yl SERIES NEW LOOKS Al OLD NOTES By Walter Breen Our First Greenbacks Even neophyte collectors have learned to call the familiar "Legal Tender" or "United States Notes" series of paper currency by the century-old nickname of greenbacks. What most of them have not realized—be- cause the general public and the Treasury have long since managed to rid themselves of most of the evidence and mercifully to forget the rare remainders—is that the original greenback notes were not the Legals of 1862, which were after all (at least the First Obligation notes) exchangeable for 6% U.S. bonds, but the Demand Notes of 1861, which were pure fiat money, not redeemable in anything, nor exchangeable for bonds or any other form of currency. The Demand Notes, now so highly prized by collectors, were in their own day regarded as a shameful expedient, painfully reminiscent of Continental Currency "shin- plasters" of the 1770s. Dollar for dollar, for awhile they bought less than their Confederate counterparts; and they depreciated so quickly as to provide no special at- traction to counterfeiters, being worth only a small frac- tion of their nominal face value in specie. To understand why the United States government felt compelled to issue anything of the kind, let us look back to the period 1857-58. The year 1857 had begun with several setbacks: The notorious Dred Scott decision of March 6; the run on the Mint in May, with hundreds of thousands of people turning in large cents, half cents and Spanish silver fractions to receive bags of flying eagle cents; only to find that within a few weeks the latter were in such oversupply that groceries, general stores and most other merchants refused to accept them in any kind of pay- Three year note issued under the Act of July 17, 1861.

Hun- dreds of thousands of city people found themselves sud- denly jobless, and the repercussions were felt even in England. Those who had gold or silver hoarded it so that for a while nothing much was in circulation except nickel cents, silver trimes (3c pieces) and floods of wildcat banknotes redeemable only (if at all) in the Michigan North Woods. Those people lucky enough to have jobs were likely to find nothing else in their pay envelopes. As of the latter part of October 1857, the New York and Philadelphia banks were forced to suspend specie payments: None of them had enough silver (even Spanish dollars) left in the vaults to redeem their own notes, let alone those of any other institution, no matter how solidly backed they had been at the outset. President Buchanan did nothing, continuing to compromise and dither in an attempt to appease the Southern congress- men. It began to look as though the nation was in for another prolonged slump like that of 1837-44, only worsened by the tremendous growing tension over slavery. Worse still, the United States Treasury found itself subjected to a run on the vaults. Earlier bond issues were coming due, almost $5,000,000 in 1846 bonds (Act of July 22, 1846) were being presented in quantity for redemption. Tax payments were only trickling in, and in many cases people had no currency but privately issued banknotes, which were not legally receivable for taxes. In the New York Custom House and other such depots, more than half the total goods reaching our shores from abroad were impounded for failure to pay tariffs. For the 17th time since the middle of 1812, the Trea- sury was forced to resort to the issue of interest-bearing notes, which were theoretically usable for circulation but in practice seldom left the vaults of the bankers who subscribed to them. The Act of Dec. 23, 1857, authorized issue of some $20,000,000 in one-year notes, of $100 denomination (higher denominations were legally possible but there is no proof that any were printed). These bore large C's upper left and right, large 100's lower left and right, with the usual legend "One Year after date the United States promise to pay to the order of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS with interest at per cent." The notes bore written dates and the autograph Reverse of the $1000 note above. ( Photo taken from Paper Money of the United States by Friedberg.) WHOLE NO. 64/65 PAGE 209Paper Money signatures of the Treasurer and Register. The written interest figure was because the notes were submitted to bids from bankers, who bought so many at so much per- cent interest. It was to the advantage of the bankers to bid for notes if they could get them at a higher in- terest rate; it was to the Treasury's advantage to dispose of as many as possible at the lowest interest rate. As it worked out, a few tens of thousands of these notes went at 3%, a few more at 3.5%, and so on through 6%. Many of the notes went back in payment of taxes, and were reissued; in all some $52,778,900 was paid out, including reissues, but as of April 1, 1884, only $1,700 (probably 17 notes) was still outstanding. However, not even this expedient was much help. Ex- cept for the long-forgotten "small Treasury notes" of February, 1815, which bore no interest and which had circulated readily in all denominations from $3 through $50 (because they were fundable in 7% bonds), the various issues of Treasury notes—our only federal paper prior to the Civil War—were mostly in $50 or $100 Southern congressmen were in no mood to hold still for anything of the kind, and almost any suggestion com- ing from the North—especially from the Yankee treasury —was met with opposition. President Buchanan was un- able to persuade Congress to do anything at all; the northern congressmen regarded him as a compromiser unwilling to do anything towards ending the growth of the slave trade, and the southerners felt they could not depend on him to further their aims either. Treasury Secretary Howell Cobb found himself under intolerable political pressure, and suddenly resigned in December, 1860. A few of the more level-headed statesmen man- aged to induce Congress to pass a modified version of Cobb's bill. There were to be Treasury notes again, but without any pledge of public lands; any such measure would have jeopardized the Homestead bill, then under consideration. During that same month, the Secession Convention met and seven southern states formally revoked their $5000 version of the three interest bearing note dated August 19, 1861 and paying 7 3/10 per cent interest. ( Photo taken from Paper Money of the United States by Friedberg. ) denominations, so that few of the general public ever saw them. These notes are virtually unknown to collectors today, which is why Friedberg ignored them. Each issue was comparatively small and almost completely redeemed, and the surviving notes with two or three exceptions— are cancelled remainders. Even the sale of the new issue of Treasury notes did not bring in nearly as much as the Treasury needed. Pursuant to the Act of June 22, 1860, the Treasury offered a new issue of $10 million in 5% stock certifi- cates (another $11 million being authorized but not then placed on sale). The offering realized only $7,022,000; the remaining nearly $3 million, though bid for at various discount rates, were defaulted. Treasury Secre- tary Howell Cobb reported that bankers and other in- vestors were unwilling to invest in U.S. stock at anywhere near par. He recommended that Congress repeal so much of the act as would have authorized issue of the remaining $11 million and instead authorize issue of more Treasury notes, redemption to be on pledge of public lands. ratification of the U.S. Constitution, maintaining that the United States was a federation of sovereign states which had come together of their own free will without abrogating their sovereignty, and which had now better split apart. A number of southern congressmen and senators—together with ex-Secretary Cobb—had in the meantime unobtrusively left Washington. Most of President Buchanan's cabinet resigned, one by one. There were reports of troop mobilizations in the South. The President attempted to send peace missions to the south, only to find their members resigning instead. To raise urgently needed funds, the Treasury acceded to bankers' demands that the first $5 million in Treasury one-year notes be repayable at a then-fantastic 12% in- terest. Many other bankers bid for the notes only at rates from 18% to 36%, but these bids were rejected. In all, some $10 million in 6% notes were finally sold, in denominations of $50 and $100 (possibly higher as well), of new designs, and probably printed by National Bank Note Co., though to date no survivors are reported, the high interest rates guaranteeing redemption.

Secretary of Treasury on Jan. 11, 1861. One week later he wrote to the Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee as follows: "Within the last few days the amount of overdue treasury notes presented for redemption has exceeded the power of the Treasurer to place drafts for payment on the Assistant Treasurer at New York, where the holders desire the remittances to be made; and an ac- cumulation of warrants, to the amount of about $433,000, has accrued on this account in the Treasurer's hands, which he has been unable to pay." The amount realized by sale of the 1860 Treasury Notes immediately went, in its entirety, to pay overdue obligations. On Feb. 8, the United States floated a 6% bond issue, managing to sell some $18,415,000 at a discount rate averaging about 83c on the dollar; and the gold brought in van- ished almost overnight. At that point Congress was induced (Act of March 2, 1861) to authorize still another issue of treasury notes. These included some $22 million in two-year notes and some $12 million in 60-day notes, all of $50 (and probably $100) denominations. At least one of the survivors recently came on the market; this was a two- year $50, written date August 9, 1861, portraying Andrew Jackson, Justice seated, and Salmon P. Chase (who had become Secretary of Treasury on March 7). It was printed by National Bank Note Co. in black and orange with an elaborate blue back. It was lot 1709 in the 1970 ANA Convention sale, realizing $10,000. As of April 1, 1884, only $3,000 of this issue (sixty $50's?) remained outstanding; at present the note is believed to be unique. In the meantime, on Feb. 4, 1861 some 42 delegates from the seceding Southern states met in convention, choosing former Treasury Secretary Howell Cobb to preside. Two days later, delegates from North Carolina arrived to plead for reconciliation, they were thought to be Union sympathizers and were shouted down. On Feb. 8 the delegates established the Confederacy, the next day electing former Senator Jefferson Davis as president and Alexander Stephens, vice president. Buchanan stepped down from the presidency on March 4, rejoicing that he had managed to keep the USA out of war. Lincoln found himself facing the realization that Fort Sumter, in Charleston harbor, S.C., was virtu- ally surrounded by hostile troops. He promptly began sending reinforcements by sea. South Carolina regarded this as a hostile act and mobilized its state militia in the area. As of April 11. General Beauregard demanded Union authorities surrender the fort to the sovereign State of South Carolina. The fort's commander, Major Robert Anderson, refused. The rebels began bombard- ment at 4:30 a.m. next morning; Anderson surrendered on April 14, and the next day President Lincoln declared the Southern states under blockade, the nation in a state of war, and the Union army in need of 75,000 soldiers. Naturally these new troops had to be fed, paid and supplied with uniforms, rifles, ammunition. etc. The Treasury had almost no extra funds for the purpose. Congress authorized a draft of 500,000 troops, redoubling the squeeze on the federal exchequer. The disaster at Manassas, Va. (First Battle of Bull Run) was the climax to a series of Union defeats; at this juncture, mid-July, 1861, the capitol itself was be- lieved to be in danger, and the nation was shocked into acceptance of the fact that the rebels were no mere clique of ineffectual malcontents, but an insurgent nation as determined to drive off Union troops as the Minutemen had been in 1775 against the British redcoats. The war was financed accordingly by a succession of issues of interest-bearing notes. When the supply of March, 1861, notes ran out. Congress passed the Act of July 17, 1861, which authorized three-year notes in de- nominations from $50 to $5,000—the latest in a long series, and the first to be listed by Friedberg. This act also authorized the demand notes, called greenbacks because they were the first treasury notes to have this color on backs (earlier ones favoring blue, orange or red). Owing to Article I, Section 10, paragraph 1, of the U.S. Constitution, the various states were specifically forbidden to issue "bills of credit," by which term the framers had meant any kind of paper currency what- ever. By Art. I, sec. 8, par. 5. the Federal government Paper Money PAGE 211WHOLE NO. 64/65 was also enjoined from such issues, but for many decades the point was actually considered moot (and the issue of treasury notes thus at least not specifically forbidden) because the constitutional lawyers had in the meantime forgotten the original meaning of the term "bills of credit." Owing to this same legal uncertainty, a few states did from time to time issue promissory notes, and no- body successfully challenged the constitutionality of the Treasury's doing likewise. On the other hand, while Congress was debating the bill authorizing demand notes, the constitutional issue once again came up, to be put off owing to the extreme emergency nature of the measure—only to reappear in 1862 when the Legal Tender notes were being debated. By the Act of July 17, 1861, the first demand notes were to consist of $20 million each in tens and twenties. The date Aug. 10, 1861, which appears on all these is probably either the date when plate preparation began, or when the Treasury received official orders to deal with the American Bank Note Company, or barely pos- sibly when the first notes were scheduled to be paid out (though the actual date was later) ; we may never know for certain. Unlike the issues of interest-bearing notes, the De- mands were printed in large enough quantities to pre- clude personal signing by either Lucius E. Chittenden or General Spinner, so that the Treasury hired several dozen people to sign on behalf of these officials—in exact parallel to what the Confederate Treasury was doing on the same days. Demand notes were printed on plain bank note paper without fibre inclusions or other safety features. Plates for all denominations were made up of four subjects, lettered ABC D top to bottom; numbering was con- secutive. All face plates bear American Bank Note Co. NY credits. The first plates were begun before the decision to issue in such huge quantities, so that (as in former interest-bearing notes) the spaces for autograph signatures are marked merely "Register of the Treasury" and "Treasurer of the United States," as though these officials would be signing personally. As a result, the First Emission in all three denominations had 'for the' handwritten below each signature, even as with many of the 1861 Confederate Treasury notes—though the coincidences do not end there (and they could be the subject of a monograph). Demand notes were smaller in size than Treasury notes of 1837 through March 2, 1861, inclusive; the new size being close to that found on New York bank notes and becoming standard through 1927. All denomina- tions show green overprinted work and elaborate green backs notable for hundreds of mechanically repeated 5's, X's or 20's, an anticounterfeiting device which proved quite unnecessary; I have never heard of a counterfeit Demand of any denomination. The $5 Demand notes depicted on the left Thomas Crawford's statue of "Freedom," which was placed atop the U.S. Capitol in December, 1863; this vignette was engraved by Owen G. Hanks for ABN. We have not learned the identity of the engraver of the Hamilton vignette at right. Tens show one of the various Lincoln portraits at left, copied from a Mathew Brady photograph, engraver unknown. The central eagle and shield is one of a large group of ABN stock designs. At right is an allegorical female figure, differently titled either "Art" or "Paint- ing" according to which specimen book or other official source one has seen; this is also uncredited and was doubtless one of the ABN stock designs. Twenties feature a central standing figure, "Liberty," with sword and shield, copyright 1858 by "Jones and Smillie" for ABN, probably Alfred Jones and James Smillie. Altogether the following amounts were printed: Fives-4,360,000 Tens-2,003,000 (the odd 3,000 being reissues) Twenties-910,000 The Act of July 17, 1861, had called for $20 million each in $10 and $20 notes, i.e. two million tens and a million twenties. But before the entirety of the highest denomination had been printed, the Act of August 5, 1861, authorized not over $10 million in fives, and the Reverse of $5 Demand Note. The term "Greenback" origi- nated with these notes due to the fact that the note was printed in green. Paper Money WHOLE NO. 64/65PAGE 212 Act of Feb. 12, 1862, a like amount in the same de- nomination. The first Demands to be issued were tens, payable in Philadelphia. They were received in Washington, D.C. at the Assistant Treasurer's Office about August 24, 1861. The very first of these—without SERIES or plate num- ber, and with 'for the' written, serial number 1—was paid to Salmon P. Chase, from whom it went to the Treasury's supersalesman and publicist Jay Cooke, and through Cooke's descendants eventually to New Nether- lands Coin Co., which firm pictured it inside front cover of The Numismatist, Jan. 1971. It is signed by Green and Walker; it is still uncirculated and was displayed at the 1971 ANA Convention. What happened to the next few is unknown, except that no. 5 of the same group was paid out over the counter in Washington to C. H. Dalton, president of the Dalton Paper Company. Dalton wrote on the back "Washington, D.C., Aug. 24, 1861. Received at the Counter in Treasury Department this day being the 5th Demand Treasury Note issued by the United States for War Expenses to suppress Re- bellion.—C. H. Dalton of Massachusetts." Eventually the note was owned by Allan Farber, from whom John W. Hutchinson bought it; it was lot 1102 of the Guggen- heimer sale (1953) and brought $1,200 in the Donlon mail bid sale of May 22, 1971, as lot 631. It is almost uncirculated. With issues as large as four million $5s, serial num- bers nevertheless never exceed five digits. The explana- tion is found in a device coincidentally also used by the Confederacy. In inconspicuous places on the notes, face plates show—usually—SERIES and a number from 2 to 15, for some reason SERIES 1 never yet being observed. As soon as 100,000 notes were printed from a given series—i.e. 25,000 four-subject sheets the plates were removed and the series number altered. Thus the next notes printed, from whatever plates, would bear the next higher series number, with SN's 1 to 4. Theo- retically there could be as many as fifteen "Number One" $5 notes on New York alone, but in actuality the only known #1 is the Chase-Cooke Philadelphia $10 described above. The first emission (early August, 1861, only), with `for the' written, did not have SERIES on plates, nor plate numbers. It is extremely unlikely that as many as 100,000 notes were made of any denomination in this emission for any of the five offices (N.Y., Phila- delphia, Boston, Cincinnati, St. Louis), to judge by the low serial numbers and the high rarity of First Emission compared to all other Demands. A N.Y. $5 (Donlon lot 758) is numbered 9172, and a Boston $10 is num- bered 28329. Probably orders to enter 'for the' on plates came through very early in the press runs. Some early Second Emission notes are from altered First Emission plates—lacking plate numbers but with SERIES added. On the other hand, the Second Emission, with 'for the' added by hand to the plates (large and small in- differently), include notes without SERIES on all de- nominations, and with SERIES 2 through 15 on N.Y. $5s, lower series numbers being found on $5s from other offices and on $10s. I have never seen a $20 De- mand with SERIES though they must have been made at least for N.Y. and Philadelphia. Study of series numbers will enable us to break down the printage figures to reach a first approximation of the amounts made up for each office, though research here has just barely begun, because most holders of Demand notes do not pay attention to series numbers. Railroads and most merchants refused to accept De- mands in payments of any kind. This situation eased a little, but only a little, after Secretary Chase and a number of other high federal officials publicly signed an agreement to take them in their own salaries. The Act of Aug. 5, 1861, floated an issue of $189,321,350 (of $250 million authorized) 6% twenty-year bonds for the purpose of funding these notes, plus $50 million in 7.3% bonds sold to the Boston, N.Y. and Philadelphia banks, and finally paid off as of Jan. 14, 1862. A circular was printed in September, advertising that Demands would be payable in coin. In practice, very little coin was available for the purpose, as most of the Treasury's silver and gold was earmarked either for foreign purchases of war material or for payment of due and overdue interest and principal on bonds and older treasury notes. A meeting of the member banks of the New York City Clearing House Association, January 1862, pro- duced a resolution to the effect that these banks would not accept Demands in payments until after Congress had made legal provision for their speedy redemption. The Treasury pointed out that these notes had been uttered before the Dec. 28, 1861, suspension of specie payments, and that as a result they would be redeemed in coin, even though not stated on their faces. More- over, Demands were acceptable in payment of taxes and duties. As this decision proved an embarrassing drain on Treasury stocks of gold and silver, the notes were retired as quickly as possible, pursuant to the Act of Feb. 25, 1862, which authorized the Legals. Most De- mands were promptly paid in to the Treasury, being at once cancelled and burnt. This accounts for the rarity of survivors in all grades. One may ask why survivors are almost invariably in wretched condition. Partly this is a result of the quality of paper in use, partly because holders found no advan- tage in keeping them, preferring to spend them at once for hard goods or change, before they depreciated. By 1862 U.S. government paper was already beginning to be quoted at a discount in terms of gold, and the De- mands were specifically affected. There follows an enumeration of the known varieties of Demands, with some remarks on serial numbers. This is incomplete, as many notes are represented only by half-tone illustrations, from which SERIES and plate numbers cannot be read; other notes are in private col- lections and estates.

PAGE 214 Paper Money WHOLE NO. 64/65 SECOND EMISSION Late August (?)-Fall 1861 Tor the' engraved Notes without SERIES or plate number were from plates altered from First Emission by hand entry of `for the'. There would not have been over 100,000 printed of any denomination for any office without SERIES. Later fives have SERIES below right SN, be- low and right of left SN on tens. Twenties to date are without SERIES, though they must have been made with SERIES for N.Y. and Philadelphia, location unknown. $5 Cincinnati. (F-4, D-805NT2, H-242D) Sigs. Hub- bard-Whelpley (?). Only two reported, the former Grinnell ("about VG") and Wade ("Fine for note, back reinforced") ; others probably exist, but surely not many. I have seen neither. In the 1968 NY Metropolitan Con- vention sale, lots 582-3 were a pair of uniface proofs, face and back, no SERIES, no. 00000. $5 St. Louis. (F-5, D-805HT2, H-242H) Signed Starr-Knight. Only two seen, both without SERIES: no. 43361 (private coll.) and 65576, the latter ex W. A. Philpott. Two others are reported, one of them ("EF") ex Grinnell 19, J. M.

Various signature combinations, including MacLeod-Hartwick, Fairbanks-Cohen, others, often indecipherable. Observed without SERIES, and in series 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14 and 15. Probably notes exist of all series (except 1?). Highest SN seen for a No SERIES note is 84860, so that this issue may have been complete, i.e. 100,000 notes. It is quite possible that all fifteen series were complete aside from 1 totaling 1,500,000 notes. Plate numbers have been seen as high as 6. Grinnell 1, Unc., was series 4, plate 4, no. 80857. Lot 888 of the Mehl-Grinnell Duplicates sale (1943), "Unc.," was series 15, no. 43335, no plate number; this reappeared in Lester Merkin's June 24, 1972, sale, lot 504. It is brilliant enough but has a very faint center fold. $5 Philadelphia. (F-2, D-805CT2, H-242C) Very slightly rarer than last, but certainly second commonest Demand, if any can be called common.

Highest SN seen in series 10 is 52695. About as rare as the NY notes. The group without SERIES may have been complete, the highest SN seen being 85073. Lots 584-5 of the 1968 N.Y.

Sale, "nearly F or better," before I began this tabulation. Possibly ex Grinnell 9, "Fine, reinforced." One other reported, unconfirmed as different from either of above. Prob- ably without SERIES or plate number. $20 Cincinnati. (F-14, D-820NT2, H-700D) Only one reported, no SERIES; Sol Kaplan, ex Julian S. Marks, ex Grinnell 12, "Fine, reinforcements," signed Tall- mann—Fry. Lot 586 of the 1968 N.Y. Metropolitan sale was a pair of uniface proofs, no SERIES, no. 00000. $20 St. Louis. (F-15, D-820HT2) None reported. From the above, we can derive an approximate break- down of the amounts printed. The 910,000 twenties of both emissions are still moot, but we can conjecture with some justification that the New York and Phila- delphia offices received between 200,000 and 300,000 apiece, nearly half of which must have been of SERIES 1 or 2 (1 may nave been omitted as a designation, as no note of any denomination has yet turned up with it). The Boston office, then, would have received slightly fewer, possibly as many as 200,000 (same comment). and the Cincinnati and St. Louis offices not over a full series apiece. In fact the following division may be taken as a starting point: N.Y., Philadelphia: 300,000 each Boston 200,000 Cffi., St. Louis (?) 110,000 together As of June, 1927, only 610 were still outstanding from all five offices—some 0.06% of the issue. On the clue that the second 100,000 made for each office were marked SERIES 2, we may guess that of both emissions and all series taken together, approximately the following breakdown of 2,003,000 tens can be made: New York 700,000 or less Philadelphia 700,000 or less Boston 400,000 or less Cincinnati, St. Louis 100,000 each, or less The total compared to SERIES data indicates that some series must have been incomplete and other series numbers possibly not used at all. This denomination vanished almost as quickly as the twenties, only 1,964 being outstanding as of June, 1927, or under 0.1%. Similarly, of the 4,360,000 ($5s), the following break- down is a reasonable first approximation: New York 1,500,000 Philadelphia 1,400,000 Boston 1,300,000 Cincinnati, St. Louis 160,000 together Should the true figures on any of the above be dis- covered in the Archives, they will probably not be very far away. Of the total of fives, some 4,248, or almost exactly 0.1%, were outstanding as of June, 1927. Naturally, these figures give little clue to the rarity of Demand Notes today. In actuality, hardly 1% of the figures outstanding can be accounted for in collections. The Treasury has managed to efface from the history books all but the vaguest memory of its 1861 emergency measure, and a few dozen collectors are all that keeps even that dim recollection alive. Perhaps it should not be completely forgotten. After all, it is surely official unawareness of the disastrous consequences of unbacked fiat money (Continentals, John Law notes, assignats, wildcat bank notes, etc., even unto German 1923 and Hungarian 1946 inflation currencies) which has led straitened governments again and again to issue the stuff, and our own Federal Reserve Board must at all costs be prevented from succumbing to any similar temptation. For after all, "those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat its mistakes." (To be Continued) Reverse design of the $20 Demard Note.

S. TREASURY NOTES Continued from Whole No. 62 $10 B C. Act of February 25, 1862; dated March 10, 1862. Series 19. "Exchangeable for six per cent. U. S. bonds." A poor counterfeit. Engraving coarse, blurred generally, especially in the vignette head of Lincoln, where the eyes have a wild, staring expession. In the imprint of the National Bank Note Company, the first "a" in "Nation" is smaller than the adjoining letters, and the imprint is about a sixteenth of an inch above the border of the note. On the genuine, the panel inscribed "Nation- al Bank Note Company" touches the hair line inside of border. There are eight or ten different counterfeits and spurious issues of notes of this denomination, act and date, some of which are almost equal to the genuine. Plates captured. $10 B C. Act of February 25, 1862; dated March 10, 1862. New series 23. "Receivable in payment of all loans." A good counterfeit; close imitation of the genuine, well calculated to deceive. Engraving good, but somewhat coarse in the vignettes. Lathe-work excellent. Numbering well done. Imprint of National Bank Note Company al- most perfect. On genuine, under the wing of the eagle in vignette center are four clean cut feathers. In the counterfeit, the feathers are blurred and indistinct at that point. On the genuine, the line on which the Treasury number is printed ranges below the words "New Series" to the right of the figures. In the counterfeit, the line, if continued, would strike "New Series" below the middle of the letters. Plates captured. $10 B C. Act of February 25, 1862; dated March 10, 1862. Series 52. "Exchangeable for six per cent. U. S. twenty years bonds." A good counterfeit. Vignette head of Lincoln fairly engraved, but a poor likeness; hair coarse, fine lines in drapery irregular. Imprint of Na- tional Bank Note Company, lower left corner of note, in a good style of plain lettering, but irregular, especially in the word "NOTE," where the letter "T" appears leaning forward at a lower angle than the adjoining letters. $10 A B C D. Act of March 3, 1863; dated March 10, 1863. New Series 7, New Series 23, New Series 52, and New Series 53. Counterfeits in general well done, especially in engraving of vignettes. The vignette of a spread eagle, center face of counterfeits, is, however com- paratively inferior, presenting a somewhat scratchy ap- pearance; and the figure of a woman artist on right end of face of counterfeit is imperfect in detail and faulty in shading. The lathe-work of these counterfeits is defective in the green tint center of face of the same and in the green medallion counters inscribed 10. On the genuine, to the left of figures 10 on green counters, are four green dots. In the counterfeits but three such dots are plainly visible. $10 C. Act of March 3, 1863. Series of 1875. A defective counterfeit, but of such general appearance that several issues have been made and extensively circulated. Engraving of vignette head of Webster badly done; the face has a surly expression. On the genuine the lines of shading across the breast of Webster's coat are uniform in drawing, equally spaced and regular. In the counter- feit the lines of shading on the body of the coat are much finer, and those on the lapel much coarser than the genuine. Thus the counterfeit also differs from the genuine in showing both coarse and fine lines of shading on the breast of Webster's coat, as may best be seen around the upper button hole and on the adjoining part of the coat. The lettering of this counterfeit is rough and imperfect at various points. On the genuine the inscription WASHINGTON, D. C., center of bill, is in open- faced italic caps and small caps, the letters W and D. C. being larger than the others. In the counterfeit the inscription WASHINGTON, D. C. is in the same kind of type but the letters are all of the same size. On upper center of border the inscription "This note is a legal tender for ten dollars" is badly spaced on the counter- feit, the words "for" and "ten" joining each other. The imprint of Bureau, Engraving and Printing is imperfect, the last four characters of the same, with several others, being engraved on a forward slant instead of the per- pendicular lines of the genuine. Numbering irregular and dirty. Lathe-work defective and indistinct. In the panel on the back of the counterfeit the lettering of the text of the law is badly done, the characters being ir- regular and run together, and improperly spaced. All genuine notes of this series are on distinctive fibre paper; the counterfeits are on plain paper, the fibre in the original issues of counterfeits being imitated by fine lines on the back, which are printed, or drawn with a pen. The latest issue of counterfeits of this description are printed on an imitation of fibre paper, made with very coarse threads or hairs in the body of the same. $20 A B C. Act of February 25, 1862; dated March 10, 1862. Series 6. "Exchangeable for six per cent. twenty years bonds." Dangerous counterfeit. Engraving coarse generally. In the vignette center of counterfeit the hands of the Goddess of Liberty are not defined as on the genuine, but appear emaciated and wasted to the bone. The lines on the shield in counterfeit are indistinct and blurred, but clear and sharp on genuine. The foot of the Goddess of Liberty in the counterfeit is merely suggested in the engraving, being shapeless and without toes, as if it were wrapped in a rag.

Engraving quite coarse and faulty. The hands of the Goddess of Liberty in vignette center are shapeless and appear swelled out of form. In the center foreground of vignette the drapery of the figure seems to reach the earth, and but a few irregular marks indicate where the foot appears on the genuine. The lines of the shield though tolerably clear at the top are too heavily shaded at the bottom. The inscription "Payable at the Treasury of the U. S. At New York" underneath the vignette is very imperfect, as are the imprints of the two bank note companies below. Lathe- work exceedingly defective, a mere blur in many places. Plates captured. $20 A. Act of March 3, 1863; dated March 10, 1863. "Exchangeable for six per cent. twenty years bonds." A poor counterfeit. Engraving quite coarse. Lathe work very defective.

A dan- gerous counterfeit if taken at first glance, but will not bear close examination. The outlines of this counterfeit are supposed to have been produced by some modification of the photographic process, and the finish and details by the skillful and artistic use of pens and brushes. The portrait of Hamilton finely executed, but the back-ground a mass of black washed in, nearly the proper shade, but lacking the fine lines which make up the ground work of the genuine. No attempt at lathe-work in the center surrounding the figures "20"—of similar nature to the back-ground of portrait. A moistened thumb applied to Treasury numbers or green tint on back of note removes the color. SPMC LUNCHEON Approximately 125 members attended the luncheon meeting of the Society of Paper Money Collectors held in the Georgian A room of the Americana Hotel at 12:30 P.M. on August 27, 1976. President Robert E. Medlar presided as Master of Ceremonies. George Wait gave a brief presentation of the forth- coming New Jersey book on paper money, stating it would be available in about six weeks, and was being published by the Newark Museum, with partial sponsor- ship by the Society of Paper Money Collectors. As a result, members would be able to obtain the normally priced book of $18.50 for $15.00. Larry Adams, Awards Chairman, introduced Chester L. Krause. Chet explained the purpose of the Nathan Gold Memorial Award, before presenting this years' award to Louis W. Van Belkum of Wyoming, Mich., for his book and research on National Bank Notes. An Award of Merit was given L. Candler Leggett of Jackson, Miss., for his book MISSISSIPPI OBSOLETE PAPER MONEY AND SCRIP. An Award of Merit was also presented to Barbara R. Mueller of Jefferson, Wis. for her years of dedicated service to the Society as editor and librarian, having given up her editorship of PAPER MONEY in 1976. First Literary Award was given to William P. Koster of Cincinnati, Ohio for "A Superb Counterfeit: The $100 Compound Interest Note", Issue #55 Jan.-Feb., 1975. Second Literary Award was given to Charles V. Kemp. Jr. of Wyandotte, Ind. for "The Freedman's Savings Bank", Issue #56, March-April, 1975. Third Literary Award was given to Virgil Culler of LaCanada. Calif., for "Chronology of the Minuteman Notes", #57, May/ June, 1975. The JULIAN BLANCHARD MEMORIAL AWARD for best display of essays and proof notes, or vignettes used on notes, the relationship between paper money and postage stamps, or an especially outstanding exhibit in any other field of paper money, was awarded to Dr. Glenn Jackson for his exhibit of the $2 Educational Note with matching vignette. President Medlar introduced Eric P. Newman. author, speaker and numismatist. Newman gave an outstanding talk, with slides, on paper money of New York from Colonial times to the Civil War period. He also spoke on related scrip notes and paper money during this period. The Luncheon closed with the famous Tom Bain Raffle, which helps defray the cost of our luncheons and dinners, and is always a finishing touch to a fine affair. Judaic Paper Collectors Begin Quarterly Journal The Judaic Syngraphic Collectors Association has be- gun a quarterly publication with the title "Shtarot." According to editor Arnold L. Shay, the purpose of the journal will be the same as that of the JSCA: To promote, stimulate and advance the study of Judaic syngraphics—i.e. banknotes of Palestine Mandate, Israel, Turkey (before 1918) and Egypt (1917-1927) ; paper money and tokens of the Jewish concentration camps and POW camps; chits and paper tokens of Palestine, Israel; Kibbutz money and other related paper material. The editor may be reached at 205 Haverford Rd., Wynnewood, Pa. 19096. Address of the JSCA is P. 0. Box 215, New Brunswick, N. J. 08903.

Source of Sutler Scrip Sought Neither the sutler, S. W. Adams, nor the unit, 1st Battalion Pioneer Brigade, are mentioned in The Numis- matist (Aug.. Sept., Dec., 1946), or in Francis R. Lord's "Civil War Sutlers and Their Wares," but this 25-cent scrip is believed to be a Civil War sutler's note, prob- ably Northern. Printed on yellow cardboard and un- circulated except for spots on the upper reverse corners where the chit was evidently removed from a book, the note sold for $160 in the Aug. 20-21 Lester Merkin auction.

S Noll"-"A"-tNii 122474 ,91 ;;■ .triAtri Paper MoneyPAGE 222 WHOLE NO. 64/65 INTEREST BEARING NOTES BOB MEDLAR Our Society's 1976 convention in New York City was one of the most momentous ever held as far as SPMC is concerned. As most of you were aware PAPER MONEY has been without an editor for more than a month, resulting in the disruption of the publication schedule. Doug Wat- son, of Scandinavia, Wis., has been appointed editor, taking over his duties with this special double issue. This combined issue was necessary to help put the journal back on schedule once again. Watson succeeds Barbara Mueller who has held the editor's post since the Spring, 1964, issue, when PAPER MONEY was a quarterly. Barbara resigned in July be- cause of health problems. All members of SPMC are indebted to her for making PAPER MONEY one of the best periodicals in the field of numismatics. Watson is a numismatist of over 20 years standing. He operates a commercial art business and at the present time is serving as editor of the Token and Medal Society (TAMS) Journal and publisher of the Journal of the Civil War Token Society. Writers and prospective authors are urged to submit manuscripts of queries of any length on any subject of interest to collectors of paper currency to him. After operating last year with a deficit of $1,300, the Board of Governors voted at the August meeting to implement a number of revenue-generating measures. The deficit was largely the result of non-payment of dues by many members who were subsequently dropped, resulting in a net loss of 94 members. To compensate for this reduced revenue in 1977, the Board voted to raise advertising rates in the journal by 20 percent and to assess new members to the Society a one-time fee of $2 to allay the cost of processing their applications. Prices of back issues of PAPER MONEY were raised to $1.50 by board action, and the price of books on hand was increased by approximately 20 percent. There will be an expansion of regional meetings of SPMC at major coin shows around the country this year. Enthusiastic attendance of 45 collectors at the SPMC meeting held in conjunction with the Texas Numismatic Association convention in Amarillo earlier this summer, and of 30 collectors at meeting in New York in March have led to the expansion of the regional meeting concept. Currently, meetings for 1977 are being planned in conjunction with the following shows: Southern Cali- fornia Numismatic Association in Los Angeles in Febru- ary; Central State Numismatic Society in Milwaukee in May ; T.N.A. in Fort Worth in April; New York in March and Washington, D.C. in July. Volunteers are being sought to help arrange regional meetings at the Florida United Numismatists show in Miami in January and at the all paper money show in Memphis in June. You'll notice on the masthead that the Society has two new faces. Robert Jones, Mike Crahb. Jr., and C. John Ferreri have been elected to the Board of Gov- ernors. Ferreri currently serves SPMC as treasurer. Forrest, Bill and Vernon are old and faithful workers and supporters of the Society. They haven't left the scene, just the board. We thank them all for their con- tributions and labors over the many years. Bob Medlar FLORIDA NOTES WANTED ALL SERIES • Also A Good Stock Of Notes Available WARREN HENDERSON P. 0.

Doug Murray, 326 Amos Avenue, Portage, Michigan 49081 (68) WHOLE NO. 64/65 PAGE 229Paper Money The Editor's Notes This double issue marks the beginning of my duties as your new editor. Following in the footsteps of past editor Barbara Mueller is going to be quite a challenge for me; but challenges are made to be met. Barbara began as editor of Paper Money in 1964, and through her efforts and diligence has made this publica- tion what it is today . . . a publication that each and every member of our Society has a right to be proud of. With your help we can continue where she left off. While attending the ANA convention in New York City, I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with quite a number of SPMC members. However, most of you are undoubtedly asking, "Just who is Doug Wat- son, and what does he know about the paper money aspect of numismatics and producing a publication such as Paper Money?" Right? OK, I'll tell you. In the fall of 1964 the Watsons (wife, two daughters and myself) left Southern Wisconsin for Central Wis- consin, moving to Iola. At this time I began my studies with Krause Publications working in the advertising de- partment. Prior to my move I was on the staff of a Monroe, Wis. newspaper, selling advertising and design- ing ads. I worked in the advertising department at Krause Publications until 1969 when I assumed the duties of art director. With this new position came the responsibilities of design and layout of Coins Magazine, book production—Bill Donlon's "United States Large Size Paper Money" being just one of the many titles worked on—plus writing copy for various advertising promotions and all the artwork that was required for all the publications. In 1974 I left Krause Publications to open my own business, Watson Designs. Watson Designs is involved in a little bit of everything—silkscreen printing, com- mercial art and publication design. Presently three numismatic publications are being produced in my shop —Journal of the Civil War Token Society, TAMS Journal, and now PAPER MONEY. It is with this educa- tional background in mind that I am offering my services to the Society of Paper Money Collectors. The most important item on my agenda at this time is to get Paper Money back onto a regular production schedule. Combining issues 64 and 65 was the first step on the return to normality. Secondly, it will be necessary to have a November 15 deadline for the November/December issue. If everyone manages to survive this hectic period we should be back on the previous schedule, with the January/December edition. No major changes in the format of Paper Money will be made at this time, however, this doesn't mean that we aren't considering bigger and better things for the future. I would like to ask—make that plead—members to submit articles to me for publication in your Paper Money, as the backlog of articles is nearly depleted, and without them Paper Money will cease to exist. Your patience and understanding during this change. over period is greatly appreciated. I look forward to serving you as your editor in issues to come and welcome any comments or suggestions that you may have to offer in regards to Paper Money or the Society of Paper Money Collectors.
