Various reports from officers were heard and approved. Discussion by several members of the Society present indicated that there is a continued enthusiasm for this branch of numismatics. The meeting elected six new directors, each for a two-year term. These succeeded a like number, who au- tomatically retired this year. Immediately following the meeting, the holdover directors and the new directors met and elected the following officers for the coming year: President, Thos. C. Bain; Vice President, Dr. Julian Blanchard; Secretary, George W. Wait; and Treasurer, Glenn B. Smedley. These new officers were duly installed. It is certainly a great honor to be chosen head of this organization. The chief objective of our Society must be to attract paper currency collectors in as great num- bers as possible to our membership, and keep their in- terest in our field growing. At the A.N.A. meeting in Denver I was agreeably surprised to see an increased desire on the part of many to add to their holdings of paper currency. I predict that this trend toward paper money collecting will continue satisfactorily to all of us. The officers of our organization need the help of all members of the Society if paper currency collecting is to prosper. As your president, I pledge my concentrated effort toward our mutual endeavor. Also you can count on the other officers and directors to do the same. But we need some extra effort by each member. Two good suggestions in furthering our cause are, for every mem- ber of the Society to invite all paper currency collectors of his acquaintance to join our organization; and for many of you present members to write articles on phases of paper currency collecting for your quarterly magazine. With your help, I am looking forward to a wonder- ful year for paper currency collectors. Your counsel and suggestions will be appreciated at all times. THOS. C.

Smedley, July 27, 1963 Treasurer PAGE 4 Paper iitone9 VOL. 2, NO. 3 A Detective Story Concerning Serial Numbers On Current Dollars by George W. Killian We all know that each piece of currency is unique in that there is no other piece which is identical in every respect including the serial number. Our current dollars of the series of 1957, 1957 A and 1957 B are printed on entirely different presses for those used for printing earlier dollars. The new presses are high speed rotary presses which produce notes by the dry intaglio process. The seal, serial number, series year, and signatures are. printed later by the typographic process. On the average each new dollar has a life expectancy of about one year before it is retired and replaced by a new note. At any one time there are approximately one billion one dollar bills in circula- tion; so it is necessary for the Bureau of Printing and Engraving to produce approximately one billion dollars each year. It is interesting to note that during World War II, as an economy measure, our currency was cir- culated longer before being retired. Our current dollars are printed in groups of 32 at a time. It is hoped that a future article by another author will give many details concerning the new presses and the details of the printing, and therefore these notes will be limited to a discussion of the application of the serial numbers. The following statements concerning the serial num- bers is a theory only and is based upon a study of many notes. The Bureau of Printing and Engraving considers this information confidential and therefore it is not possible to confirm the theory. It is well established that the small letter and/or number located in the upper left on the obverse of our currency is a position location identification. That is, the notes are printed on large sheets which are later cut apart. The location number indicates the original position of the note on the original sheet. The 1935 dollars are printed 18 to the sheet and letters 'A' to 'R' are used to identify the positions. The positions of our Federal Reserve Notes are identified in the same manner. The original sheets of 18 are arranged in three columns of six each. The positions in the left column may be identified from top to bottom as `A' to 'F'. The positions in the middle column are identified from top to bottom as `G' to `L'. The positions in the right column are identified from top to bottom as 'M' to 'R'. Between the third and fourth note in each column there is a short black indicating line. In the outside columns the in- dicating lines are horizontal while in the middle column the indicating line is vertical. Accordingly parts of the vertical line may be found at the bottom and top on notes `I' and T, respectively. The horizontal indicating line may be found at the bottom of notes from positions 'C' and `0' or at the top of notes from positions 'D' and T'. The dollars from the 1957 series are printed in groups of 32. The 32 positions are indicated by a letter followed by a number. The letters 'A' to 'H' and the num- bers 1 to 4 are used giving a total of 32 combinations. I have obtained samples from each of the 32 positions. A task which, incidentally, required considerable searching and the cooperation of fellow members of the society. Based upon the knowledge of how the 1935 notes were arranged and identified on their sheets and after studying many 1957 notes and making a mathematical analysis of the serial numbers of the 1957 notes I have concluded that the original sheet of 32 of the 1957 notes are arranged in 4 columns of 8 each. All notes in the first column have the digit 1 in their position indication. In a similiar manner the notes in the second, third, and fourth columns have the digits 2, 3 and 4, respectively, in their position indication. The digits in the top row are all preceded by 'A', while each successive row uses successive letters so that 'H' is used for the last row. The 32 positions are indicated below: Al A2 A3 A4 B1 B2 B3 B4 Cl C2 C3 C4 D1 D2 D3 D4 El E2 E3 E4 Fl F2 F3 F4 G1 G2 G3 G4 HI H2 H3 H4 Of course the suggested layout is only one of many possible logical layouts of 32 subjects on a sheet. However, a further study of the relationships of serial numbers and positions leads me to believe that the suggested layout is correct. If you were to obtain a pack of new dollars you would find that the serial numbers were consecutive AND that all the notes were from the same position. Further- more if you examined several successive packs of new dollars with the serial numbers all running consecutively you would find they were all from the same position, or that the position shifted down the column one place at a point where the last serial number of the first group ended with four zeroes. (Unless you have access to bank vaults it is extremely unlikely that you could obtain consecutive bills that end with . . . 0000 and . . . 0001). These facts make it quite evident that adjacent notes on an original sheet do not bear consecutive serial numbers. The question then is what is the relationship between the serial numbers on each of the 32 notes of an original sheet? You know that dollar bills come from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving in $100 groups. These are pack- aged 40 groups to a package, wrapped in brown paper and bound by steel straps. Thus it is logical to assume that successive notes on an original sheet might differ by. 4000. That is, position AI might be assigned serial numbers 00 000 001 to 00 004 000, while the next position might be assigned numbers 00 004 001 to 00 008 000. However, a study of serial numbers and positions finally showed this was not correct. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE VOL. 2, NO. 3 Paper liteneir PAGE 5 DETECTIVE STORY CON'D FROM PAGE 4 After further study and the recording of the serial numbers of a large number of notes it was discovered that notes in the same position could differ by several thousand; up to 15 and 18 thousand. But if the serial numbers, from a given position, were much further apart their difference was of the order of 640,000 or a multiple thereof. Once these facts were discovered it was deduced that the notes of one position might bear the numbers 00 000 001 to 00 020 000, and the next position the numbers 00 020 001 to 00 040 000. Thus if the first position had number 00 000 001 the last position on the same sheet would simultaneously be given serial number 00 620 001. Evidence about the 1935 notes indicated that the group of serial numbers reserved for notes in the 'B' po- sition immediately followed those reserved for notes in the `A' position. Therefore, it is logical to assume that for the 1957 notes the first group of numbers was reserved for the upper left corner position and the next group of numbers for the second position in the first column. This is an assumption. Further study revealed that if this assumption, which is consistent with past Bureau practice, is correct that the positions would work out as previously decribed. You may check this relationship between the serial number and the position in the following manner: 1. Copy the first five digits of the serial number of any 1957, 1957 A or 1957 B dollar. A star note may be used if desired. 2. Divide the five digit number by 640. Ignore any re- mainder. Call the answer D. 3. Multiply D by 640,000. Call the answer M. 4. Subtract M from the original eight digit serial number. Call the answer S. 5. Copy all but the last three digits of S and divide this by 20. Ignore remainders. Call the answer A. 6. Divide A plus one (one more than the answer from No. 5) by 8. Call the answer N and the remainder L. 7. N will be one less than the number in the position and by substituting A for 1, B for 2, etc. L will equal the letter. 8. If S is less than 20,000 the note is from position A 1 and steps 6 and 7 are not possible and are not necessary. The above should work on any 1957 series dollars except possibly those having serial numbers above 99 840 000. As pointed out the numbers are reserved in groups of 20,000 for each position or a total of 640,000 for all 32 positions for each printing run. This will take the numbers up to 99 840 000 after 156 printing runs. I have not been able to find enough notes having serial numbers above 99 840 000 to determine how these numbers are assigned. I would guess that the last 160,000 numbers are assigned 4,000 per position. Of course a star note is always substi- tuted for the very last note of each 100,000,000 group. I would appreciate being advised of any serial num- bers from the 1957 series of dollars that do not fit in with this theory. And I would also like to be given the serial numbers and positions of bills having serial numbers above 99 840 000 so that I can check my theory concerning the numbering of these. George W. Killian SOPMC 423 Since submitting the article entitled A Detective Story Concerning Serial Numbers on Current Dollars I have obtained additional information from the Treasury Department and can now state with reasonable certainty that the layout of the 32 subject sheets of the 1957 series is follows: Al E1 A2 E2 B1 Fl B2 F2 Ci GI C2 G2 DI Fll D2 H2 A3 E3 A4 E4 B3 F3 B4 F4 C3 G3 C4 G4 D3 H3 D4 H4 This revised layout does not alter the relationship between the serial numbers and the positions given in the article. National Currency Notes of New Mexico and Arizona by Forrest W. Daniel PART 1—The Note A number of National Currency notes listed as un- known or not issued in the listing of National Currency notes by states in Robert Friedberg's "Paper Money of the United States" have been found. More will be found. This is the story of one such note found and a list of others which may already be in other collections, or located in future finds. The $20.00 note issued by The First National Bank of Elida, Elida, New Mexico, is Series of 1902 with "1902- 1908" on the reverse. It bears the signatures of Napier and McClung, and is dated January 6, 1912. It was listed "S-1606 New Mexico State . . . Not Issued" in the then current Third Edition of Friedberg's book. Since the note at hand obviously had been issued, the first question raised was: Why had it not been listed. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE PAGE 6 VOL. 2, NO. 3 NAT'L CURRENCY NOTES CON'D FROM PAGE 5 $20.00 NOTE ISSUED BY THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ELIDA, ELIDA, NEW MEXICO REVERSE SIDE OF $20.00 NOTE ISSUED BY THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ELIDA, ELIDA, NEW MEXICO Notes of this type, with "1902-1908" on the reverse, had been issued by national banks in the Territory of New Mexico from 1908 through 1911. New Mexico was admitted as a state January 6, 1912. Why had they not been issued by banks in the State of New Mexico from 1912 to the end of their issue in 1915? Wasn't it reasonable to assume some of the 40-odd national banks in the state had emis- sions of notes in that period? Numismatic reference books indicated, and the Na- tional Archives confirmed, that ledgers containing Treasury serial numbers after 1911 have not been found. Since New Mexico changed from territorial status to statehood at just this time, January 6, 1912, there could be no indication found there that these notes had been issued. There was much evidence of later issue, however. First the serial number evidence. Notes with "1902- 1908" on the reverse bore only a single prefix letter from 1908 until early in 1911. From that time until some time in 1912 the prefix letters A, B, D, E, H, K, M, and N were used on Treasury numbers, the suffix letter in each of these combinations was A. This is according to "A descrip- tive History of National Bank Notes 1863-1935," by Wil- liam H. Dillistin. The Treasury number of the Elida, New Mexico, note is Al2407B, indicating issue at a later date. The date on the face of the Elida note is January 6, 1912, the date New Mexico became a state. This also points to a later engraving date to indicate the new status of statehood. Treasury signatures of Napier and McClung correspond to the date on the face of the note. The bank was originally chartered August 30, 1906, and territorial notes would very likely bear the signatures of Vernon and Treat. Notes were printed in sheets of four, three $10 and one $20, and bore position letters A, B, C, for the tens and A on the twenty. When new plates were engraved for a CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE ?CC 1'96 or VOL. 2, NO, 3 Paper llteney PAGE 7 NAT'L CURRENCY NOTES CON'D FROM PAGE 6 bank because of wear or change, in this case state designa- tion, position letters on the new plates became D, E, and F on the tens and B on the twenty. The Elida $20 note has position letter B. These points of reference indicate that the coincidence of a gap in Treasury serial number records and the change of status of New Mexico from territory to state coming at the same time is the reason the notes were not listed by Friedberg. To afford positive documentary evidence that the present note was issued, a search of the National Currency and Bond Ledgers was made in the National Archives. These records contain the bank serial numbers and not the treasury numbers. The period covered in the search was 1911 to 1916, previous and subsequent periods were not consulted. Totals brought forward in 1911 indicate 1,000 sheets of notes, printed 10-10-10-20, had been delivered to the Comptroller of the Currency for the Elida bank. These would have been Territorial notes. On January 9, 1912, three days after statehood, 160 10-10-10-20 sheets were delivered to the Comptroller. These are noted to be Terri- torial notes and bear bank sheet numbers 1001-1160. On July 10, 1912, 120 sheets were delivered to the Comptroller of the Currency for the Elida bank. These were 10-10-10-20 sheets specifically noted "State", and bore bank numbers 1-120. Two deliveries of Elida bank notes were made to the Comptroller in 1913, bringing the total to 470 sheets. Sheets 471-670 were delivered April 29, 1914. The Elida note studied is No. 613 and was in that group. It was issued to the bank on May 15, 1915, and later reached circulation. So the issue of $20 National Currency notes with "1902-1908" on the reverse by national banks in the State of New Mexico has been established. How does this affect other notes of this period?

Since $20 notes were printed only in sheets also con- taining three $10 notes, it is evident $10 notes also were issued by the Elida bank. The only $10 note of this type known to the author, however, was issued by The First National Bank of Farmington, New Mexico (state). Dis- cussion of other denominations and issues of banks in Arizona will be left to Part II. The First National Bank of Elida, New Mexico, was chartered August 30, 1906, to succeed the Elida Savings Bank. G. W. Robertson, president, and A. A. Beeman, cashier, were officers who signed the National Currency notes. In 1935 The First National Bank of Elida became The Portales National Bank, Portales, New Mexico. Part II—The Series National Currency notes Series 1902 with "1902-1908" on the reverse were issued under authority of the Emergency Currency Act of May 30, 1908, also known as the Aldrich- Vreeland Act. The first notes of this issue are noted in June, 1908. The Act expired June 30, 1915, but notes pre- viously printed were used up and issue of the notes con- tinued until 1916. Notes of this type issued by banks in the state of New Mexico were unknown until a $20 on the First National Bank of Elida, New Mexico, was found. Similarity of back- ground of notes of New Mexico and Arizona led to a comprehensive search for records of all issues. New Mexico became a state January 6, 1912, and Arizona joined the union six weeks later, February 14, 1912. Certain records were missing and the issue was unknown. In the absence of Treasury serial number records, a search was made of the National Currency and Bond Ledgers in the National Archives. These consist of 48 large volumes of unindexed records of national banks issuing currency. Five volumes of records of failed banks were also checked. These records are the basis of this article. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE Papep &coneyVOL. 2, NO. 3 PAGE 9 NAT'L CURRENCY NOTES CON'D FROM PAGE 8 A high of 40 banks in New Mexico made reports at the call of the Comptroller of the Currency from 1912 through 1915. Records were found of 39 of these banks, 31 of which issued 1902-1908 notes. Records of two banks were not found. Records of 12 Arizona banks were located; 10 of these issued 1902-1908 notes. No record was found of one bank. The ledgers show the dates sheets of notes were de- livered to the Comptroller of the Currency by the Bureau of Printing and Engraving and the bank serial numbers; the serial numbers, date and number of sheets of notes issued to the banks; and the denomination and number of notes returned and destroyed. Serial numbers of notes de- stroyed are not recorded. There is no record of dates of issue of circulation by the banks but issue to the banks and quantities of notes destroyed remains fairly constant. The amount of circula- tion outstanding on all banks in New Mexico, as shown in reports to the Comptroller of the Currency also is fairly constant. The low inventories of notes on hand in the banks would lead to the conclusion that the notes saw wide circulation. Marginal notations in the ledgers "1882-1908," "1902-1908", "Territory" and "State", as well as dates and serial numbers form the basis of this interpretation. At the transition from Territory to State bank serial numbers began again at No. 1. And again at change from Series of 1882 with 1882-1908 on the reverse to Series 1902 with 1902-1908 on the reverse bank numbers revert to No. 1. This is very clear in the records of the Prescott National Bank, Prescott, Arizona. In the few cases where Territory and State notes are not differentiated, the serial number break is used as evidence that State 1902-1908 notes were issued. The sheets of notes delivered to the banks bore four subjects, each note on the sheet bore the same bank serial number. Denomination of notes on the sheet are designated 5-5-5-5, 10-10-10-10, and 10-10-10-20, thus the number of $20 notes issued is at most one-third the number of $10s. Notes of $50 and $100 with "1902-1908" on the reverse were not issued by any banks in New Mexico or Arizona. Sheets of 10-10-10-20 denominations were by far the most popular. Of the 41 banks checked in the two states 40 received 10-10-10-20 sheets. Only one received 10-10-10-10 sheets. Seven received sheets of 5-5-5-5. Reference books mention that a few banks were issued 10-10-10-10 sheets. The Clovis National Bank, Clovis, New Mexico, was the only bank to do so in the two states and time covered in this report. The Clovis bank also received 5-5-5-5 sheets. On January 9, 1912, three days after statehood, 160 Territorial note sheets were delivered to the Comptroller of the Currency for the First National Bank of Elida, New Mexico. The first delivery of State notes for the Elida bank was received on July 10, 1912-120 sheets. The stock of Territorial notes was shipped to the bank, as needed, before the first of the State notes were issued to the bank on April 4, 1913. The pattern followed above is the general rule. The period of time from receipt of notes from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing until issue to the banks by the Comptroller of the Currency varied from a few days to several months, depending upon the needs of the individual bank. The ledger sheet of The First National Bank of Magdalena, New Mexico, shows 2,500 10-10-10-20 sheets delivered to the Comptroller of the Currency from 1912 to July 1, 1914, these are noted "1902-1908." The next entry, August 17, 1915, has the notation "1902." This would seem to indicate the later type of Series 1902 notes without "1902-1908" on the reverse. Few of the records contain similar reference to the later notes. There is no break in the bank serial numbers back to No. 1 for this change as there was for the change to the 1902-1908 reverse. The ledgers of failed, liquidated and consolidated banks show that 440 10-10-10-20 sheets were printed for the State National Bank, Artesia, New Mexico. Of these, 15 sheets were issued to the bank before it was assumed by the First National Bank, Artesia, New Mexico. Records show these 15 sheets were assumed by the First National Bank and very likely became part of their issue. The bal- ance of the State National Bank notes was cancelled. This study of Arizona and New Mexico National Currency Notes with "1902-1908" on the reverse has been especially detailed to cover all the background evidence for future listing of these notes. Only two of the notes, a $10 and a $20 on New Mexico banks, are known to the author. It is reasonably certain others exist on other banks, but until they are reported knowledge of this series will be incomplete. PART III—A Listing Records were not found in the National Currency and Bond Ledgers for three banks which were in position to issue notes with "1902-1908" on the reverse, during the statehood of New Mexico and Arizona. The abstracts of bank statements, as published in the Annual Reports of the Comptroller of the Currency from 1912 through 1915, give the following information on those banks. The First National Bank, Globe, Arizona, listed cir- culation of $100,000 in each report. The First National Bank, Clovis, New Mexico, reported circulation of $12,500. This circulation may have included "1902-1908" notes, but there is no direct evidence at present. The American National Bank, Tucumcari, New Mexico, chartered in 1914, had no circulation through September 2, 1915. Following is a list of banks which received State 1902-1908 sheets of notes and the type of sheets received. NEW MEXICO BANKS ISSUING 1902-1908 NOTES Albuquerque, State National Bank, 10-10-10-20.

Cohen Introductory Note Since I began collecting U.S. Fractional Currency fourteen years ago, I have been confronted with the one major obstacle, that there was no complete up-to-date list- ing of all of the varieties of Fractional Currency. The most comprehensive catalog on Fractional Cur- rency is the 1924 work by Valentine. It is this work which I use as a foundation and Valentine numbers are pre- served. Where there is one or more variety of a particular designated Valentine number, the variety will be listed as an additional number or a sub-division of an existing number. No attempt has been made at this time to place a valuation upon any of the notes or to designate any of the notes as "rare" or "scarce." Where information is known as to the numbers of a particular note that is known to exist, it will be listed. Varieties which have a doubtful existence will be listed as either doubtful, possible or probable, depending upon the degree of their apparent existence or validity. Although the listing which I have attempted is prob- ably far from being complete and no doubt contains nu- merous erroneous listings, the purpose for publishing this list is primarily for soliciting additional information, ad- ditional varieties as well as the elimination of erroneous material. To this end, the aid of my fellow collectors is respectfully requested. PART ONE-REGULAR ISSUE NOTES SECTION ONE-First Issue (Postage Currency).

(To Be Continued) The Certificates of Indebtedness From Missouri by C. R. Ross and John H. Swanson In the year 1957 there may have been very few certificates of indebtedness from Missouri in the better- known collections, and only the type numbered 22 in the Criswell manual came to attention at that time. Items of the type to which the number 22-A has been assigned soon came to light, and such a specimen is illustrated in the recent Criswell price-lists, or supplements. In the type identified as number 22 in Criswell there are no flourishes associated with the left sides of the letters "S" and "M" in "State of Missouri." The ornate design which surrounds the serial number is in close proximity to the left artistic border, and a part of the former is directly under the right side of the adjacent printer's cor- nerstone. On all four sides of the instrument the artistic border is very regular, suggesting that there were no splices or abutted segments of printer's rule employed in its preparation. The word "and" terminates the longest of the lines of print, and a flourish-like extension from "d" of this word extends to within one millimeter of the adjacent artistic margin. Near the midpoint of the lower border is the printed indication that the signer at the left is the Acting Paymaser General. There is no flourish over the letter "J" in "City of Jefferson, Mo." Fine green horizontal lines, spaced sixty-four to the inch, extend across the obverse surface from artistic border to artistic border, and these give to the item a distinct greenish hue. The upper border presents seventy-one artistic emblems. Because this item appears in the Criswell manual it need not be illus- trated herein. A certificate of indebtedness from Missouri is here described which resembles the one referred to hereinbefore in its more superficial aspects. This is the initial announce- ment of its existence. The fine print in the lower mid- section recites that the signer at the left is the Acting Paymaster General. The word "and" terminates the longest of the lines of print, but this word is appreciably more than one millimeter away from the adjacent artistic border. An irregularity exists in this border a short distance above the lower right cornerstone, suggesting an imperfect matching of portions of printer's rule. A flourish presents over the letter "J" in "City of Jefferson, Mo." Curled flourishes are attached to the left sides of the letters "S" and "M" in "State of Missouri." The item is slightly longer than the one described hereinbefore (Cr. 22), presenting seventy-two emblems in its upper artistic bor- der. The left end of the design which surrounds the serial number is somewhat removed from the left border, with no more than a minute round portion of it extending under the adjacent printer's cornerstone. Minute, yellowish-green, parallel lines, spaced sixty-four to the inch impart a yellowish-green hue to all of the obverse side enclosed by the artistic border. Concievably this item may be of rarity 11. Items of the 22-A type superficially resemble the ones described hereinbefore. There are seventy-two em- blems in the upper border. In the lower central portion is a small printed indication that the signer at the left is the Acting Quartermaster General. The design which sur- rounds the serial number extends under the adjacent printer's cornerstone. The longest of the lines of print is terminated by the word "the," and this word is separated from the adjacent artistic border by no more than one millimeter. The terminal line of small print is indented, the initial letter "A" in "Actual" being under the letter "a" in "has". Fine parallel lines present over as much of the obverse side as is within the artistic border, but the color of this surface is a light brown or tan. This item has been illustrated in the Criswell price supplement and it need not be illustrated herein. Another variety of Missouri certificate is presented herein for the first time (see illustration). The print near the lower border recites that the signer at the left is the Acting Quartermaster General. The obverse surface en- closed by the artistic border presents very fine olive-brown parallel striations, and the over-all color of this side of CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE -**;04444SMAWC,t44., ,' 4.74 62'r ( errIrt,rewl Lee,;;;,' , , , , limsavtvicair tsnolpruble 4r.%ilrItvidaliniriedium,y.ara' krhisserrimhas been ptr.iallen'h yl..r Ciate#6oreiwincla oadth,inevad Merl on‘lierthelrflial a111017,1 e, clin'the hited t . v • ;4,1-e• ni /cif/iv:v .6-71 ,1/0 /85 • .._ 4 /I <4 rt,/, u'r• • eellteel/4' V,: , ,111 the Ivied, 421 YO, rr cC .• r ,„// I Paper MoneyPAGE 12 VOL. 2, NO. 3 CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS CON'D FROM PAGE 11 the item is a light brown or tan. An irregularity in the border a short distance above the lower right cornerstone is suggestive of imperfect matching of sections of printer's rule. The terminal word "the" in the longest of the lines of print is situated appreciably more than one millimeter away from the adjacent artistic border. The design which surrounds the serial number does not extend under the upper left cornerstone. The final line in the printed para- graph is not indented, the initial letter "a" in "actual" being directly under "h" in "has." The following identification key might conceivably prove helpful to collectors: A. Item is signed by the Acting Paymaster General. 1. No curled flourishes are attached to the letters "S" and "M" in "State of Missouri" Cr. 22 2. Flourishes extend toward the left from "S" and "M" in State of Missouri—Number tentatively assigned 22-B B. Item is signed by Acting Quartermaster General. 3.

Final line of small print in printed paragraph is not indented, the initial "a" in "actual" being below the "h" is "has"—Tentatively assigned identification number 22-C Fig. 1 An unlisted variety of Missouri certifi- cate, with printed paragraph resembling Criswell No. 22. It is tentatively assigned the number 22-B. Fig. 2 This unlisted variety of Missouri certifi- cate rather closely resembles Criswell's No. 22-A. The final line of the printed paragraph is not indented. It is here given the tentative identification number of 22-C. Possibly Unique $5.00 Louisiana National Note $5.00 First Charter Series of 1875 Note on the National Bank of Louisiana, New Orleans with the usual vignettes—at left Columbus sighting land; at right a vignette depicting Columbus presenting an Indian Princess (America) to three females (representing Europe, Asia, Egypt). Signatures are of Schofield and Gilfillan. This note is listed in Friedberg's book unpriced and marked Rare. There is no question in the mind of the writer of this article that this is rare. The discovery was made by Mr. James S. Reynolds of Tucson, Arizona who consigned it for one of Michael Kolman Jr. of Federal Brand Enterprises Inc. Auctions. Kolman said that it will be listed in the (F. U. N.) Florida United Numismatists Annual Sale in January, 1964. The condition of this note is F-V. Fine, clean look- ing, and the estimated value placed on it will be somewhere around $500.00. VOL. 2. NO. 3 Paper Ittene PAGE 13 New York State Private Issues of Fractional Notes by Jasper L Robertson, M. D. Private fractional notes have been issued in the United States from around the time of the War of 1812 up to and including the Civil War. In fact most of this scrip was issued around the Civil War era due to the scarcity of small change. This scrip was issued and used in all states, in the South as well as in the North, and New York State had its full share. While these fractional notes served well as a media of exchange apparently they were seldom redeemed. At least the writer has seen very few cancelled notes. The check list as given here is one of notes issued by merchants, stores, etc. It does not include scrip issued by the various cities, towns and villages of the State. It is not expected that this list is by any means complete but it is hoped that the various collectors who have notes not mentioned here will let the writer know of them so that a supplementary list can be made at a later date.
