Smith Whole No. 76 Page 201 This listing is by no means a definitive catalog of Mis- souri's paper currency but rather a first attempt at cataloging these elusive and often obscure notes. It is sincerely hoped that anyone having any of these notes (or any not listed here) or having further information, will contact the author at Box 34, Stevens Point, WI 54481. IRON MOUNTAIN American Iron Mountain Co. 5c, $1 and $5 also known. No descriptions. KANSAS CITY City of Kansas Scrip. Under an ordinance passed 12 March 1858, the city was authorized to issue notes in denominations from $1 through $10 to be used mainly for construction and repair of city streets. These notes were to be in the form of warrants bearing 10% interest and backed by a pledge of city revenues. According to one source, these notes were issued from 1858 through 1861, but another source says none were issued until 1861. None of these notes are known to exist today, though some may eventually turn up. The authority to issue these notes remained in effect until it was specificly prohibited in the city's 1875 constitution. There were at least one and possibly two later issues of scrip under this ordinance. City of Kansas Scrip (second issue). $1 Dated 1870. Green and black. American Bank- note Company. Steamboat and river scene in cen- ter; portrait of Franklin to left; girl and dog to right. $1 Dated 1 May 1874. Same design. (Other dates may exist.) $2 No description available. The second issue of Kansas City scrip was begun during the administrations of Mayors E.M. McGee and William Warner 1870-1871 (whose signatures should appear on the notes). According to one source, the banks in Kansas City accepted this currency on deposit and as a result, the U.S. revenue officers assessed the banks heavily. The banks countered by sending H.M. Holden to Washington to explain the situation to the Treasury Department. Holden successfully showed that the currency supply in Kansas City was inadequate and obtained an abatement from the Treasury Department. According to one source, $200,000 of this scrip was issued. This scrip was locally known as "Kansas City Green Back Scrip." First National Bank of Spalding's Commercial College. A $50 training note from this college is known, with printed date changed from 186- to 1872. The note is signed by "D.L. Shouse supert. Banking Dept." and J. Spalding president.

Same as above. $5 Not certain it exists. $10 Dated 12 November 1907. Same as $1 above. The total amount issued was $745,000. In addition to these low denomination notes, the Clearing House also issued $7,256,600 in high denomination notes for use be- Page 202 tween banks. The first were issued on 30 October 1907 and the last was retired 10 January 1908. It is not known what denominations were issued in this series nor what they looked like. Kansas City Clearing House Scrip (1933 issue). $1 Dated 1933. No vignette. "Kansas City Missouri Clearing House Association" across the top. Denomination to left. Signature of A.G.

An 1861 $2 note from this bank with Kansas City as the place of redemption is known, but the signatures are those of the St. Louis officers. Union Bank of Missouri (branch). Authorized March 1859, opened August 1859. Closed 1866. According to one source, President Thomas Johnson took this bank's specie to Leavenworth, Kansas for safekeeping during the Civil War. Another source, however, says this bank's funds were moved to St. Louis in 1861, and the Kansas City branch was then closed. Perhaps it was later re- opened. $5 Same design as parent branch issues. $120,000 of this denomination issued through February 1861. $10 Same design as parent branch issues. $80,000 of this denomination issued through February 1861. $20 Same design as parent branch issues. $20,000 of this denomination issued through February 1861.

No notes of this denomination are listed in 1852. This bank does not appear to have issued notes of the 1857 series. Farmers Bank of Missouri (parent branch). Organized 1857, closed 1867 or earlier. This bank opened branches at Liberty (1858), Paris (1858), and Neosho (1861). A branch is also reported at St. Louis, but if it existed, it must have been only a redemption office. During 1861, Union forces acting on General Fremont's orders took over $900,000 (probably specie) from this bank. In Sep- tember 1861, following their victory in the Battle of Lex- ington, Confederate forces captured this money and re- turned it of the bank Also during 1861, the bank burned some $912,680 of its notes to restore public confidence. $1 Negroes gathering corn in center.

Settlement of Wyoming began in the early 1830s, although French explorers had first visited the area nearly a century earlier. Wyoming was granted Territorial status on July 25, 1868, under President Andrew Johnson and Statehood was attained 22 years later, under President Benjamin Harrison. This No. 1 Territorial note was from position "C" on the first sheet of the $18,750 shipment of notes delivered to the bank by the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency. After their arrival, the notes were signed by the bank's Vice President, I.C. Miller and Cashier, John C. Davis. They were then separated from the sheet and placed into circulation. Each such sheet consisted of a trio of $10 notes and a single $20. The $10s carry position letters A-B-C, while the $20 note is from position A. The sheets were from a 10-10-10-20 plate layout. It was customary for the No. 1 notes from a National Bank's first issue to be distributed among its officers. More than likely, such a procedure was followed with the Rawlins notes, and it is believed that the position "C" $10 note was given to Amos Hooker, a director and co-founder of the bank. Why these notes were signed by Vice President Miller instead of bank President J.W. Hugus is today unknown. The First National Bank of Rawlins was chartered in 1890 with a capital of $75,000, receiving charter number 4320. As mentioned, $18,750 worth of Series 1882 Brown Back Territorials was issued, with serial numbers from 1 to 375. All notes were dated May 26, 1890, just 45 days before Wyoming became a state. The sole surviving Wyoming Territorial Brown Back is unusual in its back design in that twin Bureau of Engraving and Printing eagles adorn the left and right oval panels, instead of the Territorial or State seals that were usually Page 205 PC— ape-- -oc employed on the backs of First and Second Charter National Bank Notes. Explanation for this curiosity is that during its status as a Territory, (July 25, 1868 to July 10, 1890) Wyoming failed to adopt a Territorial seal. And, a State seal was not adopted until three years after Wyoming had been admitted to the Union. Later Second Charter issues of Wyoming banks carry that State seal. The survival of the Rawlins No. 1 note is attributed to the many years it was apparently carried in the proud banker's wallet, as evidence by the heavy center crease. However, it is unusual that the note should be the only known Series 1882 Brown Back Wyoming Territorial note to surface to date, as there were seven National Banks chartered prior to Wyoming's statehood.

INTERNATIONAL AUCTION TO BE DEVOTED TO STOCK/BOND CERTIFICATES According to a press release from Stanley Gibbons International, Ltd., a sale devoted completely to collector stock and bond certificates will be held Nov. 24, 1978 in London. This is said to be the first such auction of its kind in Britain. Stanley Gibbons Currency, an affiliated concern, has also announced the addition to their staff of Christopher Stocker as senior manager of the bank note department. Mr. Stocker, age 26, is a fellow of the Royal Numismatic Society. His primary bank note interest lies in the aesthetic aspects; at present he is writing a book on engravors and printers. Whole No. 76 Page 207 1919 — Contemporary Comments on — Russia's Paper Money From the May, 1919 issue of The Numismatist Collectors in the United States have heard much about the paper money issued in Russia by the Bolshevik Gov- ernment, and many have received the impression that it is a distinctive issue. The following article from the New York Evening Post, from its special correspondent at Stockholm, corrects this impression, and also gives de- scriptions of the different kinds of paper money, which explains why, according to newspaper reports, business houses in parts of Russia are closing their doors, refusing to do business on the kind of money in use there. The Bolsheviks' financial daily newspaper, Finanzi i Narodnoe Khozaistvo, does not ignore the fact that ques- tions of note circulation and gold reserves exist, and it shows extraordinary interest in "The Condition of the American Federal Reserve Banks," "The Exploitation of Graphite in Madagascar," and other recondite themes. It is an elaborate and by no means always fanatically Bolshevik production. But it has never considered it necessary to publish even approximately the sum of credit notes issued by the Soviets' Commissariat of Finances. By credit notes are understood the State Bank's notes which before the war were redeemable in gold, and which still, when printed by the Bolsheviks, bear the old Gov- ernment undertaking to redeem in gold. Together with these credit notes I count a relatively small number of notes of new design first issued by the Kerensky Govern- ment in the summer of 1917, though technically these are not credit-notes. I omit notes issued for local use by pro- vinces, groups of provinces, or cities, and, of course, new kinds of currency issued by the German and Ukrainian Governments in former Russian provinces. In order to grasp properly the problem of the sum of credit notes in circulation, it is necessary first to under- stand their kind. Foreigners usually believe that there is a specific Bolshevik money differing from the money issues by the Czars and their successors, the Provisional Gov- ernments of Prince Lvoff and Kerensky. One even hears suggestions that the legal Czarist and Provisional Gov- ernment notes may be restored to something like their gold parity by means of ignoring or annulling the paper put into circulation by the unconstitutional Bolsheviks. This is a misconception. For practically there is no differ- ence whatever between notes issued by the Czars, by Lvoff and Kerensky (with the exception already referred to) and by the Bolsheviks. In circulation today are three kind of central govern- ment paper money: (1.) "Czar credit notes" (popularly called tsarskiya dengi, or Czar money) — this is, notes of pre-revolution- ary design, printed by the Czars or by the Lvoff-Kerensky Provisional Governments and later by the Bolsheviks from the old plates, or copies thereof. All these are "Czar credit notes." The highest denomination is 500 rubles. All are numbered. (2.) "Duma credit notes" of entirely different design, printed and issued by the Provisional Governments, and later printed from the same plates, or from copies thereof, by the Bolsheviks. There is a 1,000 ruble "Duma note," also one for 250 rubles. The Czarist Government did not issue notes of 250 rubles. All "Duma notes" are number- ed. (3.) Currency notes of much simplified design issued during Kerensky's Premiership. Such notes were never printed under the Czardom, and I believe the Bolsheviks have not printed them. They are not numbered. The value of these credit notes upon the home and for- eign markets does not depend at all upon their origin, but solely upon the question, which of the above classes they belong to. The value depends, that is, upon their design. All "Czar notes" have the same value at home and abroad, irrespective of whether they were printed by the Imperial Government, by the Provisional Government, or by the Bolsheviks, and all "Duma notes" have the same value, irrespective of whether they were printed by the Provisional Governments or by the Bolsheviks. The history is this: After the revolution of March, 1917, when the Czar was deposed, the first Provisional Govern- ment (Prince Lvoff's) was obliged to continue the over- thrown Imperial Government's policy of printing even more and more paper money to cover administration and war expenses. At first these notes were printed from the existing plates, adorned with imperial insignia and por- traits. These are "Czar notes." Soon after the revolution the Government, for sentimental and political reasons, printed notes of new design with vignettes of the Duma Building. These are the "Duma notes." Denomination for denomination, these notes were issued as equal in value to "Czar notes," the security for their redemption in gold was equally good, or equally bad, and they were accepted willingly. But as disillusion with the new order grew the masses began to show a marked preference for "Czar notes," and "Duma notes" underwent a certain depreciation at home and abroad. As a result, most notes in circulation are today `Duma notes," while "Czar notes" are hoarded as fast as they are issued. This obeys the rule, observed all along in Russia, that money considered inferior pushes money considered superior out of circulation.

I would like to add my thoughts in an attempt to help those engaged in the effort, to get diverse opinions. The "grade" of a particular note is usually based on the number and severity of a wide variety of impairments. I would like to list the impairing factors, but not in any particular grading order since my note could have from all to none of these impairments. UNPRINTED BORDER SIZES AND CENTERING — Maximum border sizes could be determined from uncut sheets, if all sheets were uniform before printing. TRIMING — to produce uniform borders, eliminate ragged edges, make square corners. CUTTING ERRORS — produced by misaligned sheets or by poor cutting methods especially national bank notes cut by issuing banks. CENTERING — should be uniform without one or two borders being out of proportion. (Does the Bureau of Engraving have specific standards for unprinted border sizes (large size notes, small size), if so what are they?) Note trimmed into printed area or trimmed to include part of adjacent note. FOLDS — Fold whereby note will not lay flat, and shows no evidence of permanent lines affecting the structure of the paper or ink. CREASES — permanent lines evidenced by broken ink and/or stretched paper structure. WRINKLES — irregular folds and creases reducing crispness of paper, depending on severity. HOLES — holes caused by spindling or pinning. Size and location of hole. Holes caused by foreign matter destroying paper. TEARS — caused by separated creases in edges or interior intersections of creases — rips and tears anywhere not related to creases. SOIL AND DIRT — acquired from handling or coming in contact with dirty or dusty conditions. Lines of soil or dirt defining folds or creases. STAINS — notes impaired by contact witt a foreign substance such as rust, ink, water, etc., to alter the natural color of the paper. Just spots, or larger portions up to and including the whole note. COLOR AND INTENSITY OF PRINTING — bright and vivid body not overinked to impair vignettes or lathe work. Too lightly inked, producing pale or washed out images. Same criteria applies to overprinting of serial and charter numbers, seals, etc. There are other impairments not generally conceded to be caused by normal handling. WASHED — Obvious laundry jobs are an impairment, if they are not noticeable the seller of a note probably will not mention it, or qualify it by "possibly washed." Faded signatures on national bank notes are often caused by washing, but not always. Many nice appearing notes have been soaked in water, and pressed by various means sometimes advertised as Page 209 "possibly pressed." (Notes printed by the intaglio process were often wetted for printing because the paper was so hard it wouldn't retain the ink.) Some edge wrinkles might be accounted for accordingly. MOUNTING TRACES — notes secured in an album or on cards by means of some mounting material will leave a residue, a light spot where removed, or traces of the mounting page or card. AGING, MILDEW OR MOLD — from improper storage. "Foxing" is usually considered to be a water stain. Repairs to the paper, or pen and pencil "improvements" to the designs can be impairments. Any form of writing, rubber stamping or printing are, also, impairments. The foregoing is certainly not a complete list of possible impairments, but perhaps a starting point for determining the "grade" of a note. I would be rather reluctant to try and assign a numbering system trying to encompass all possibilities of impairments. Do we count the number of creases for instance, and assign a certain number disregarding the degree of soiling? Do two pinholes, and one fold equal 50 or what? The various degrees of impairments compound the task of assigning word descriptions (fine, about unc, extremely fine, etc.) let alone trying to assign a meaningful number. It could be ludicrous to use "BS" numbers (Bureau of Engraving & Printing) State as similar to MS (Mint State for coins). Some sort of grading system is necessary especially for uninformed collectors and dealers. Grading is useful to me only when I am reading dealers lists, advertisments, or auction catalogs. If I am interested, the grading starts a dialogue, and if I am not satisfied upon receiving the notes, the return priviledge has always been courteously extended. We must remember it is impossible to return a note of lesser grade than received as is possible with coins since all notes have distinctive serial numbers. I have been collecting paper money for over 18 years, and the Society of Paper Money Collectors has been the greatest source of information and education for me. I have found that grade and price do not necessarily have anything in common. The "market" determines the price, and there can be no sale unless both seller and buyer are satisfied. The best protection the collector can have is to be knowledgeable of the subject, and informed of current conditions. We all owe a debt of gratitude to those dedicated individuals who freely give of their knowledge and expertise to further the fascinating hobby of collecting paper money. Roy Peterson, P.O.

Donlon personal collection, was again offered in his last sale, closing 3/31. A half turn in the sheet of notes during overprinting resulted in a misplaced left-hand charter number and the omission of the right-hand number and the Treasury seal. The note sold for $1,150.

Counterfeit (top)• genuine (bottom). Fig. 2. Counterfeit (top); genuine (bottom). A FIFTY CENT ny erry v avra COUNTERFEIT One would hardly think that the counterfeiting of a 50i denomination of our currency would be profitable. This would not have been true during the Civil War era. In those days of turmoil and strife, 50i was a good bit of pocket change somewhat comparable to the purchasing of a saw-buck in present times. The practice of counterfeiting Fractional Currency from the Sot denomination to the 50i denomination (with the 10i, and 25i in between) was quite a widespread problem. Yes, I said 5e Fractional Currency was first issued in August of 1862. Engraved on these first issue notes were facsimiles of contemporary U.S. postage stamps or multiples thereof depending on the denomination of the note. The design was fairly simple, making counterfeiting of this issue not extremely hard for a middling engraver. In October of 1863, a new design was released. Instead of a postage stamp centered in the middle of the note, a portrait of Washington was incorporated and quite a bit more delicate engraving was used, along with a large bronze- colored oval placed around the portrait on the obverse of the note, and on some varieties, bronze surcharges placed in the corners of the reverse. This bronzing was done to thwart counterfeiters, as this coloring and also the method of placing it on the note should have been quite difficult to duplicate. On some of the notes, a new "fibre" paper was tried. This paper was much heavier and coarser than the standard bank note paper then used and had tiny silk threads in it, which could be seen with the naked eye. Well, it wasn't very long before counterfeits began to circulate, some of which were very poor, and others which were unbelievably good. The third issue of Fractional Currency was released for circulation in December of 1864. Again, all of the engraving was changed, but this time, each denomination had its own distinctive design instead of being uniform with the rest of the issue. Various portraits, bronzing and surcharges were used. A 3i denomination was issued, which was smaller in size than all previous issues, and the 254 and 50é denominations were increased in length approximately 30%. Again, "fibre" paper was used on some of the notes but only on the 25i and 50st denominations. At this time, the signatures of the Treasurer and Register of the Treasury were added on all Whole No. 76 Page 215 Fig. 3. Genuine (top); counterfeit (bottom). but the 34i note. The third issue was replaced by the fourth issue in July of 1869. The 3i denomination was dropped and a new 15i issued. Fibre paper was used for all notes issued, and Treasury officials' signatures were added as well as the Treasury seal. During the period of the fourth issue, counterfeiting problems began to recede. The public began to scrutinize more closely the engraving of these notes and also the paper on which they were printed. Using a paper with colored silk threads that would really stand out seemed to be a key factor in having a currency that would be quite difficult to duplicate. By this time, the Treasury Department was using this type of paper for all of their current Legal Tender notes with great success. The fifth and final issue was released on February of 1874. Only the 104 25., and 50é denominations were issued. Appropriations for printing Fractional Currency were exhausted with this issue and no further funds were provided for this purpose. The fifth issue ended in February of 1876. Hard change was now freely circulating and there was no further need for small paper Fractional Currency. The note illustrated here (Fig. 1) is a Friedberg #1335. It is an extremely well done counterfeit. The black printing on the obverse, the green printing on the reverse, and most unusually the bronze overprinting both on the obverse and the reverse are remarkably good. The colors are almost identical to the genuine. The first noticeable flaw is in the "FIFTY" bronze overprint closest to the portrait. The lettering is not filled in as on the genuine note, but all other detail is fairly accurate. Only on close examination (3X) does the portrait show heavy, uneven lines, especially around the eyes and hair. On the reverse (Fig. 2), the engraving is not as well done. The color is darker, and the lines appear heavy and blotched in some areas. Under higher magnification (10X), some of the finer details are missing, especially along the very top and bottom borders and in the ovals containing the 50. It seems unusual that the engraver include the surcharge A- 2-6-5 consisting of small bronze overprint numbers near the ovals. In this series of notes (#1324-#1338, third issue, Spinner) and Friedberg #1331 does not even have this bronze overprint. It seems that the engraver either didn't know this, or that he really liked his work. The counterfeit note is also longer (Fig. 3) and shorter in height (Fig. 4). The note is printed on a thinner paper than any used for other issues, but still of high quality. Quite a few counterfeit Fractional Currency notes are still in existence. During the time that they were circulating, bogus note were not confiscated in most instances. These notes were marked in pen or rubber- stamped "BAD", "COUNTERFEIT", "NO GOOD", etc. and returned to the owner. The Secret Service still frowns on keeping these notes or collecting them, as they are still legal tender and redeemable as such, although they were issued over a century ago. These notes are a rarity in their own right, though. There are the lower denominations which are truly scarce. Higher grade notes are also scarce, as the counterfeiter in many cases would try to "pre-circulate" his work before passing it; that is, soil, fold and crease the notes. The most counterfeited notes seem to be the 50i denominations, with the third issue 254:6 being one of the commonest. Very few if any fifth issue counterfeits are known. Fig. 4.

It's the same in numismatics. You can explore the world through a collection of current foreign bank notes as a side hobby. One book, Albert Pick's Standard Catalog Of World Paper Money at $17.50 is all you need to start. Keep your notes in long envelopes and store them in a cardboard box. It's surprising how little space bank notes take. Each bank note should be recorded and identified by its serial number in case of loss or theft. There are two interesting and easy ways to collect. In order to get the most benefit and enjoyment from world bank notes, try them both; one after the other. First, to get acquainted with bank notes and for that matter with the various countries in the world, try to get at least one specimen of bank note from as many countries as possible. Without too much difficulty you can get close to 200 countries including a few that have changed their names or no longer exist, such as British Hondouras (now Belize), Rhodesia and Nyasaland (now Rhodesia, Zambia and Malawi) and Biafra (now part of Nigeria). This is not as expensive as it appears as the monetary unit of only a small number of countries surpasses that of the United States. A large number of current low denomination notes cost from 10i to $1 in crisp new condition. After a year or so your foreign bank note collection should include notes from more than 100 countries. You will have acquired a certain feel for foreign notes and a preference or interest in certain topical areas. Now is the time to get underway with the second option in world bank note collecting; the topical collection. This is something that you can persue for the rest of your life at a leisurely pace. As one discovers in handling of notes from many countries, there are quite a number of interesting subjects for a topical collection. Some of the more popular and obvious are: coats of arms, monarchs, heads of state, military leaders, men of science, men of art, explorers, groups of people, figures of Liberty, allogorical figures, statues, wildlife, flowers, trees, countryside, agriculture and farming, occupations, buildings, transportation, maps, flags, battle scenes, historical scenes, reproductions of engravings and paintings, Whole No. 76 Page 217 overprinted notes, World War II notes, etc. Some of these topics are very large and can be broken down. Wildlife can be broken down to animals, birds, sea mammals and fish. Monarchs might be limited to British monarchs or even to one monarch such as Queen Elizabeth II. One can also collect notes of an entire continent; those of a political unit such as Portugal and her colonies or individual countries. The collector can have the satis- faction of obtaining a complete collection of one or more countries that issued their first bank notes only a few years ago. The complete collection of notes for Cayman Islands, Botswana, Papua-New Guinea, Swaziland or St. Helena comprises only three or four denominations. Collecting interests in bank notes can be shared with the entire family. Encourage your spouse or one or more of your children to collect foreign bank notes. They can profit by and learn from their collection. Children can gain much basic knowledge from foreign notes. Collecting current foreign bank notes requires no previous numismatic knowledge and grading is not a factor as notes are generally available in uncirculated condition. One learns as one collects. One learns the location of a country, the value of its monetary unit, its language and perhaps something of its economic and political situation, history and its people. Probably not too many readers can locate the five countries I mentioned two paragraphs above, but then neither could I till I got into world bank notes. World bank notes can also be made into a wide variety of displays for exhibition at coin conventions. Two dealers specializing in current bank notes with good permanent stocks of them are: Dwight L. Muser, Box 305, Ridge Manor, Florida 33525 and Ronald Schmitz, 3144 South Highland Avenue, Berwyn, Illinois 60402. Dwight L. Muser has probably been in this field the longest of any dealer. Ronald Schmitz's father-in-law (now deceased) was one of the first in the field. Ask your friends to bring you back notes from their travels. Canada and Mexico are not far off so getting notes from them should be no problem. You are in for a great deal of enjoyment and will broaden your knowledge considerably by undertaking a small collection of world bank notes as a side hobby in the way I have outlined above. It will contrast well with other numismatic interests and make you more interested in numismatics. You can go at your own pace and share your knowledge and collection with your family and friends. Page 218 Paper Money Previously unknown replacement note exhibited Memphis Paper Money Convention Existence of a $20 Silver Certificate Star Note Made Public at Memphis Convention by Douglas D. Murray Discovered in late 1977 by the author and displayed at the Memphis Paper Money Convention, the Series 1891 $20 Silver Certificate *1144B is the only replacement note known in the $20 Silver Certificate series. This currently unique note has the signatures of Parker- Burke, and grades Very Good with some pinholes. The use of star replacements did not start until 1910, so of the six Series 1891 $20 signature combinations, only the last two, Parker-Burke and Teehee-Burke, could have had them. It was during the Teehee-Burke tenure that the printing of $20 Silver certificates came to an end, nearly 40 years after their introduction in 1878. Star notes are used to replace regular notes spoiled in the printing process. in this instance, one of the 1,544,000 Parker-Burke notes (serials HIE to H1544000E) was unfit and was replaced with the above note. Star notes have their own serial numbers and do not duplicate the number of the spoiled note. The total number of Parker-Burke star notes printed is not known; all that is now known is that at least 1144 were printed. Only 409,000 Teehee-Burke notes (serials H1544001E to H1953000E) were printed, and although star replacements were also likely used, none have been seen. Spectacular Error Note Reported Through the courtesy of Harry Jones, we illustrate the recently reported $20/$10 double denomination note on the Dallas Federal Reserve district. The discovery of this Series 1974 note by a Houston bank customer — not a numismatist, incidentally — set off a search for more examples in the area. According to Numismatic News, as many as two dozen such errors may have been found and secreted until an opportune time for marketing arises. More were found by the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank and returned to Washington. Double denomination notes are caused when 32-note sheets already printed on the back are given the second (face) printing in a different denomination. Modern procedures at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing have nearly eliminated incidence of this type of error. Back in the 1950s, several $10/$1 double denominations were found, while the only other small-size double denomination notes known are $5/$10 and $10/$5 of the late 1940s. However, several types of large size notes are known with double denominations. BARBARA R. MUELLER The Buck Stops Her Whole No. 76 "The more things change, the more they stay the same". Here I am, back at the old stand after a two-year hiatus. But contrary to the proverb, things have changed at the old stand. Thanks to Doug Watson we now have one of the most visually pleasing publications in numismatics, or any hobby for that matter. And fortunately, Doug will continue to lavish his expertise on our graphics, while I devote my time to the purely literary and crassly commercial aspects. To be specific, I am handling all the usual editorial chores up to the point of preparing the copy for Doug. That means helping in the development of articles, taking raw data where necessary and turning it into feature article form. In short, it means all the details of editing that go into making the articles readable and useful for reference. Once those tasks have been accomplished, Doug takes over to make the actual layouts for printing. The commercial aspects, of course, have to do with advertising, a very important service to our readers and dealer members. All advertising copy and layouts should be sent to me. Advertisers should observe the usual deadline schedule (i.e. first of month preceding month of issue). They should try to avoid last-minute changes and additions, particularly by telephone, since under our new set-up, we simply will not have time to make extensive revisions. Once I have sent copy to Doug — that's it. And after publication, I will do the "book work", keeping the ledger, collecting overdue accounts (which I trust will be few) and preparing remittances to our treasurer. Advertising income goes far to make PM what it is and so we try to give advertisers the best service possible under the conditions of operating a non-profit publication. But remember, please, we do not have the staff and facilities of a Krause Publications or an Amos Press, so plan accordingly. As of this writing, our biggest problem is maintaining the flow of good articles. Back in April, when I began to help Doug, I analyzed the list of authors who helped fill the past dozen issues. On it I found many familiar names and a few unfamiliar ones, too. To these folks I have addressed personal letters, seeking their continuing support. To other potential authors I make the same plea. As we endeavour to cover the entire field of syngraphics, not just U. S. paper money, we need material on "foreign" currency and security paper especially. Since our organization is the second largest in numismatics, we should be able to achieve our goals. As Doug told you in the March/April 1977 issue, we can't give monetary payments for articles but we do have an excellent recognition and awards program plus the intangible benefits of publication in a journal of record that is Page 219 preserved for posterity in many museums and libraries. In addition, authors are often able to reach other specialists and increase their own knowledge through the medium of the articles and reports. SPMC is currently riding the crest of a new popularity largely developed through the regional meetings program. Let's keep the momentum by increasing the flow of articles for PM. I assure you, all correspondence will be answered; any help you may need will be forthcoming promptly. Because I have been relieved of the make-up chores, I can do a better job of author development. Won't you help me? Three -letter Name Draws Three -Figure Bid Among the more popular notes among collectors of Na- tional Currency with unusual names are those issued by the Gap, Pa., National Bank. Usually found in small size notes, a large size (Brown Back $10) specimen was offered in the 3/31 Donlon mail bid sale with outstanding results. Graded a strong AU and estimated at $275, the note went to a $515 bid.

John Ferreri One of the most rewarding moments in collecting U.S. obsolete or broken bank notes occurs when the collector locates a bank note bearing a vignette of such local significance as the one pictured here. The engraved scene on this $3.00 note of 1862 issued by the Barnstable Bank depicts the main street in Yarmouth (now Yarmouthport), Cape Cod, Massachusetts, with the stage coach approaching from the easterly direction and about to pass in front of the bank on the right and the "Gingerbread House" on the left. Nearly 125 years have passed since the vignette for this note was engraved but some of the structures depicted on it remain today. The bank building was torn down some years ago, but the Gingerbread House remains and appears today much as shown in the vignette. The House was built as a private home in 1840 and later turned into an inn. It eventually was bought by William and Rosetta Chalpara and their three sons, Peter, Sabino and Costa. The Chalparas are Greek but migrated from Istanbul. The arrived in the U.S. in 1960. "Bill" found employment as a cabinet maker and "Rose" as a cook. They worked at those trades for some time before purchasing the House, restoring it and transforming it into the fine Greek restaurant "Myconos".

DOUGLAS BALL SPMC President Bob Medlar has announced that the highlight of the annual get-together at the American Numismatic Association convention in Houston will be an address by Dr. Douglas Ball. He will speak to guests at the Society's luncheon which will take place on August 23, 1978 in "space 2" of the AstroVillage Hotel at 12:30 P.M. Tickets will be on sale at various members' booths at the ANA bourse or can be purchased from the officers in attendance. Dr. Ball, who will discuss Confederate currency, is well known as a researcher in the field. In 1976, he took his impressive academic credentials into commercial numismatics, going into business as NASCA (Numismatic and Antiquarian Service Corporation of America). The firm's elaborate auction catalogs are fast becoming collectors items in themselves. 1574 PAPER MONEY Researchers believe that the Siege of Leyden (Holland) notes of 1574 may be the earliest paper currency of Europe. Made in the shape of a coin from compressed Bible paper, they were produced during one of the Span- ish wars and are 11/2 inches in diameter. The date appears on the edge of the obverse, while the main motif is the lion rampant. Page 228 • LIBRARY .16 -mali. NOTES WENDELL WOLKA, P.O.

Donated by Larry Adams.. This intriguing book deals with the Nazi counterfeiting of mas- sive numbers of Bank of England notes during World War II. The fascinating story, from its beginning in 1939 to its end in the depths of Austrian lakes some twenty years later, is one which you won't be able to put down.

VA 30 Chartered For Progress — Two Centuries of American C5 Banking — A Pictorial Essay by Elvira and Dr. Vladimir Clain-Stefanelli, 1975, 144 pp., Illus., Gift of Publisher and Larry Adams. An absolutely delightful book to look at and read! The book de- tails all aspects of the banking function from the earliest Colo- nial days to electronic banking of the '70's in an easy-to-read, straight-forward text. One of the best features of the book is the lavish use of photo- graphs and illustrations of notes, scrip, bank buildings, the men who were connected with banking, and all of the other things which have been associated with the profession over the years. A number of color plates are incorporated. Enjoy, Enjoy! Thanks to the generosity of James R.

It's in the Books — Excerpts from Dye's Counterfeit Detector, July, 1884 Edition Donated by SPMC Library by Morey Perlmutter Counterfeit Bank of England Notes On June 25, at the office of Fred G. Frank & Bros., at Chicago, Ill., a stranger asked to have three £15 Bank of England notes exchanged for U.S. currency. Mr. Frank had his suspicions aroused by the appearance of the notes, and began making a close examination of the watermark and other details, and upon seeing this the stranger said the notes were undoubtedly genuine, and proposed leaving them for close inspection if Mr. Frank would make him a receipt. A negotiable receipt was given, and the man promised to return at three o'clock. Mean- time the notes were submitted to several banking experts, and Mr. Frank became convinced that they were excellent counterfeits. The man failed to turn up at the appointed time, and the case was put in the hands of the city detectives. Cramer & Co., agents for the Guion steamship line, had cashed two of the Englishman's spurious £50 notes before they had become suspicious, and consulted the detectives. The counterfeit is almost perfect. The watermark, the great safeguard of the Bank of England notes, which is said to be impossible to counterfeit, is a good imitation of the watermark in the curves and tracings, the only seeming want being that the words "Bank of England" are not as clearly legible as they are in the genuine notes. The vignette, on close examination, seems scratchy and unfinished, but ordinary observers accustomed to handle Bank of England notes would hardly notice this. The principal proof of spuriousness seems to be in the quality of the paper, the texture being hard and coarse, compared with the silky, elastic paper in the genuine notes. The notes bore a rubber stamp impression with the words "London and County Banking Company, Limited," thereby conveying the idea that they had passed through an English bank. The notes answer the description of spurious notes recently found in circulation in Antwerp. The date of the notes is May 16, 1883, and the sign prefix- ed to the number is 260. CHICAGO, July 5. — Marshall, the English, confid- ence man, who was arrested at Milwaukee last week and brought back to this city on the charge of passing a large number of counterfeit Bank of England notes, made his escape from the Des Plaines Street station-house before daylingt this morning by sawing his way through three doors. lichee s, inc.

Page 230 A NEW ENGLAND SCENE REVISITED Continued from page 224 "Myconos" bill of fare appears a brief history of the House and an engraving identical to that on the bank note. According to Mr. Chalpara, the engraving was obtained from an old map of the Town of Barnstable. What other scenes as quaint and historic are waiting to be revisited? Probably more than one would expect. One the New England broken bank note issues alone are found well over a hundred similar contemporary scenes that are just waiting for a visit by some inquisitive syngraphist. I know I can hardly wait to make my next visit to some unsuspecting scene where perhaps one of the famous bank note engravers of a bygone era took great pains to sketch a subject which was later to become part of a circulating bank note and still later an integral part of some proud syngraphist's obsolete or broken bank note collection. RUSSIA'S PAPER MONEY Continued from page 207 are repetitions of the numbers on notes issued by the former governments. The new notes further bear the fac- simile signature of the former Director of the Bank of State, though he was dismissed when the Bolsheviks seiz- ed power, and in this respect one may consider them forgeries. But as no one can distnguish them from "Czar notes" and "Duma notes" printed by the former govern- ments, there is no difference in value at home or abroad. Paper Money objection to issuing local money in Russia in order to re- lieve the chronic currency famines is that such local money drive "Duma notes" out of circulation as "Duma notes" have driven "Czar notes," and "Czar notes" have driven gold coins. The "Czar notes" and "Duma notes" printed from the old plates by the Bolsheviks bear numbers, but no outsid- er knows whether these numbers are new or whether they COLIN NARBETH BECOMES DIRECTOR OF STANLEY GIBBONS Pioneer bank note collector and author Colin Narbeth has been named a director of Stanley Gibbons International, Limited. He joined the firm in 1970 as managing director of Stanley Gibbons Currency, Limited and set up the bank note dealing division. Since then he has been responsible for the company's expansion into coins, medals, playing cards and, most recently, stocks and bonds.

HODGES' AMERICAN BANK NOTE SAFE -GUARD by Edward M. Hodges 1865. 350 pp Cloth bound. 1977 reprint by Pennell Publishing Co. $19.50 postpaid "Hodges' " as this book is known, contains descriptions of over 10,000 genuine notes from 30 states, 19 Canadian banks, and the United States notes issued prior to 1865. This 1865 edition was copyrighted in 1864 and at this time the United States was at war with the Confederate States. As a result the listing for six Southern states were not included because they were not a part of the United States. Louisiana was included as in 1864 it was occupied by Union troops under the infamous General Butler. West Virginia was added to this edition as it seceded from Virginia and joined the Union in 1963. We have added a section from the 1863 edition (copyrighted in 1862) containing the six states deleted from the 1865 edition making this reprint the most comprehensive Hodges' ever printed. The format used consists of three rows of ten notes listed in rectangules on each page. To quote from E.M. Hodges "The SAFEGUARD is almost indispensable". Collectors will agree with him. We bound 10 copies in genuine leather and interleaved them with plain paper (for your own notes) and offer them subject to prior sale for $75.00 each. THE BANK OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA by Dr. F. Mauldin Lesesne 1970. 221 pp Hand bound. University of South Carolina Press $14.95 postpaid The South had many colorful banks prior to the Civil War, but few could compare with the Bank of the State of South Carolina. From its charter in 1812 until 1881 when its history ended, it was colorful, controversial, and redeemed its issued notes. The "faith and credit" of the State of South Carolina was pledged to back this bank. Dr. Lesesne's account of this bank is interesting reading to both collectors of paper money and historical students. Few banks have such detailed accounts of their life as the Bank of the State of South Carolina. The book is annotated and has a wonderful bibliography. If you only read one bank history, and should read this one as it will interest both South Carolinians and non-Carolinians alike. It is just an excellent story of a very important bank. BANKNOTES by Gunnar Anderson 1975. 70 pp Danmarks Nationalbank. Reprinted 1978 by Pennell Publishing Company. Soft covers $7.50 Cloth $9.95 postpaid. Available February 1978 This is the English version of a publication by the Danmarks Nationalbank. The original was printed in 1972 in conjunction with release of a new 1972 series of banknotes. It is a modern book on how paper money is printed and how to detect counterfeit notes. The book is well written and contains numerous illustrations of banknote engraving. The glossary alone is worth the price of the book. The bibliography lists many books that are available today and of much interest to paper money collectors. If you are going to collect paper money you need this book in your library. PENNELL PUBLISHING COMPANY P.O. Drawer 858 Anderson, South Carolina 29622 *S.C. residents add 4% S.C. sales tax.
