- Brunswick, NY � Cropsey & Wheeler � Cropsey's Inn 8 Cents November 30, 1814 Harris H3. PCGS Very Fine 35 Apparent. Likely the reported note in the Harris New York scrip note book. Thick and thin linear borders surround the text and obligations. STATE OF NEW YORK and Town of Brunswick in cartouches made of brackets and type ornaments flank the "8" and serial number block at the center. The left end has a wrapped ribbon and floral design. The noted faults of "Small Edge Tears and Minor Damage; Minor Stains" do not inhibit the eye appeal. The note exhibits excellent paper body and much embossing present to the back. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20165, realized $528.

- Newark, NJ - Newark Whaling, Sealing & Manufacturing Co. 37-1/2 Cents Oct. 25, 1837 Wait 1545. PCGS Fine 12. This occupationally titled issuer has justifiably been popular with all currency collectors. The theme of whaling & sealing is unusual, and the vignettes fit remarkably well on the small format size. The notes themselves were actually 1% interest bearing, and since they were emitted in the tumultuous late 1830s, notes held too long by the public were likely not redeemed. This was a three-denomination series with 12-1/2 cents, 25 cents, and 37-1/2 cents, presumably on a six-position copper plate (observed are A and B plate position notes of each) engraved with the imprint of C. P. Harrison N. York. At top center is a whaling vignette, unique and custom made for the series, adapted from William Page's 1835 painting, Capturing of a Sperm Whale, and popular on period color-tinted prints (type of Brewington-2 as listed in Kendall Whaling Museum Prints, 1969, Kendall Whaling Museum, Sharon, Massachusetts). Small, but powerful, the vignette captures the surge of the sea and the frightened faces of the oarsmen as the whale is harpooned. Flanking the whaling scene are an eagle and wharf goods. At the upper left is a galleon. The right end has a vertical trio of Spanish Colonial real coin reverses that circulated in the period (when silver money was not hoarded as it was in 1837). This is one of the more interesting topical scrip notes, combining whaling, coin vignettes and odd-denomination themes. In superior grade, and this type note from the series is generally full all around. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20164, realized $1140.

- Saint Joseph, MO � Steel Printing Plate Pair for Faces of the City of Saint Joseph $1-$2 June 1, 188_ Warrants. Very Fine. A unique pair of steel plates for the faces of this Missouri municipal issue. Issued notes of both types are known and were in the Newman Collection. Both plates were engraved by the American Bank Note Company, New-York on machined and finished steel. Standard size steel plates by the ABNCo. with beveled edges. Approximately 23.0 cm x 18.5 cm each. A two-part process was used to create the finished notes. The green tint plate was printed first upon banknote bond paper. Observe on the tint plate the color shading that would go under the engraved signatures from the main (titled and vignetted) plate. After printing the tint plate, the primary plate would print the black intaglio portion with the note bordering, titles and main vignettes. This was a costly process, but notes like this were basically impossible to counterfeit. A unique set, and steel plate pairs are rarely offered for sale. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20162, realized $1020.

- MISSOURI PAPER MONEY [:] Check List of All Specimens in the Collection of Eric P. Newman. Undated Typewritten Manuscript with Annotations. Very Fine. A unique record of Eric's Missouri currency: not a complete record and with some later acquisitions missing, but a very significant work and essential pedigree research tool for paper money specialists and Missouri numismatists. Oblong folio, 29 cm by 23 cm by 2.8 cm thick. Untitled brown simulated leather, with gilt bordering and simulated gilt compartment lines, TyFoFax (by McMillan Book Company) Record Book with retractable post for adding and deleting pre-made pages. Title page, but undated (approximately 1950?). The primary entries are all typewritten on the pages parallel to the binding post (making it an oblong folio) and organized by currency genre from the "Bons, Scrip and Notes Written in Longhand ... ," and continuing mostly in a chronological manner through Territorial notes, Obsolete notes, Scrip, State Notes, Ad Notes, the two St. Louis Demand notes, Missouri National Bank Notes, and St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank Notes and Federal Reserve Notes. Apparently, all (or nearly all) of the initial Missouri currency acquired from "Colonel" Green is listed within, along with the important 1939 D. C. Wismer notes, including all the proofs and issued Obsolete notes and the $10 St. Louis Demand note. There are handwritten additions here and there on some pages or on the back of blank pages (proof sheets formerly from the American Bank Note Company archives for example). There are 63 pages of listings, nearly all typewritten. The remaining pages included are blank. The National Bank Note census, fully articulated with serial numbers and plate letters is immensely important. This record book was integral in the preparation of the Newman part VIII auction catalog, and the ordering of the early Missouri Bons through the Obsolete Currency sections followed this book in the spirit of Eric's collecting organization. The pages are generally clean and bright. There are some cover scuffs and corner rubs; this was a working inventory book in every sense of the word. Please note that this archive, along with many other fascinating records, correspondence, and publications, has been scanned for permanent preservation on the Newman Numismatic Portal. However, there is only one physical example of this archive, and it will certainly augment any Missouri currency collection or numismatic library profoundly. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20163, realized $4800.

- Jefferson City, MO - State of Missouri-Union Military Bond $10 July 30, 1863 Cr. UG14. PCGS Very Fine 20 Apparent. A difficult-to-find $10 note from the scarce third series of circulating Union Military Bonds. The Newman Collection contained the most types from this series observed since the 1981 Vacca auction by NASCA. On March 9, 1863, $3,000,000 of circulating bonds was authorized, with the enactment date engraved on the green back, to pay the Missouri Militia. The notes were payable "twelve months after" they were issued and paid 6%. An additional enactment followed, and three engraved years are observed on the face plate: 1863, 1865, and 1866, with "1863" observed here. The American Bank Note Co., Philada. engraved the face and back plates and printed the notes. At the lower right are three allegorical females representing Plenty, Commerce, and Justice beneath a "10" counter. General Francis P. Blair, Jr. is at upper left. At center left are the lengthy obligations and a small Missouri state seal. The green security back has the title across, with "X" above and below at the center, several dies, and the enactment date of March 9, 1863, along the bottom. Plate C. Rare, and the first of this type offered from the Newman Collection. Noted with "Small Splits and Tears." The faults are minor, and overall this is a pleasing example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20161, realized $2040.

- (Jefferson City), MO - State of Missouri-Defence Warrant $10 Feby. 28th, 1862 Cr. Unlisted. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This 1862 Union Missouri Defence Warrant, discovered by Maureen Levine, has an unlisted, clearly recut "Feby.28th 1862" date. The size is smaller than Cr. UG1 and there is an engraved date of Feby. 28th 1862, at the right. This date is not the February 24, 1862 listed date that complies with a continuation of the authorization of the obligation on the note that they be "redeemed or paid in for taxes before the first day of December, 1862." The "8" is clearly recut with a portion of the "4" visible, but we have no explanation for the reason of this second date. Lithographed by A. McClean lith St. Louis. The Missouri State Arms is enclosed in flourishes at the lower left. Gothic titles are across the top, TEN DOLLARS in white within a black cartouche is below, and the obligation is at the bottom. At lower right is the same young girl's portrait used on Cr. UG1. The green TEN protector on this variety has a more decorative font with rounded details at the bottom. The Secretary of State's signature line is blank, and the note was signed by the auditor. Not pen cancelled on the face nor endorsed on the back as observed on the example in Newman Part VIII. This second 1862 engraved type might be rarer than the first and is Rarity-10 in Shull-Criswell. Noted by PCGS with "Repaired Tears at Left; Minor Stains." The faults are concealed at the left, and it faces up as a solid example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20160, realized $3600.
