    Banking House & Counting Room Edition Heath Counterfeit Detector, Newman 2-BH-3(a)Boston and Washington: Heath, 1866 and 1867 [no patent date stated on cover]. Innes and Niles, Stereotypers and Printers. Second edition. Small 4to, original maroon cloth, front cover lettered in gilt. 39, (5) pages, including two final leaves featuring four Heath microscope illustrations printed two apiece on one side of each leaf, facing; frontispiece; Heath bank note facsimile plate with number hole-punched as issued; 12 engraved plates of bank notes or elements, with tissue guards, interspersed in the text, comprising impressions of genuine and counterfeit fractional currency notes (Plate 1), 10 engraved plates numbered 2-11 depicting genuine bank note design elements, and an impression of a counterfeit $100 First National Bank of Boston note (Plate 12), the last of which has a printed label affixed in the lower margin identifying it as the work of counterfeiter Charles Ulrich. Plate 5 printed in green ink; Plate 12 printed in green and black ink and hole-punched as issued. The variations in the 2-BH-3 Heath counterfeit detectors are minor, and it is possible that further differences remain to be discovered. The Heath bank note facsimile plates used in this printing are encountered both with and without a printed plate number (which, when it is encountered, is hole-punched); the front cover lettering sometimes includes the patent date, but not always, and when it does it may or may not be correct; the Treasury letter may or may not be present; and Plate 12 may or may not have a printed label about Charles Ulrich affixed below it. The relative scarcity of these varieties has yet to be established. Only minor wear; near fine. Estimate $400 Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

    Banking House & Counting Room Edition Heath Counterfeit Detector, Newman 2-BH-2(b)Boston and Washington: Heath, 1866 [incorrectly stating Pat'd July 12, 1867 on cover]. No printer's imprint. Second edition. Small 4to, original brown cloth, front cover lettered in gilt. 39, (1) pages; frontispiece; Treasury Department facsimile letter; unpunched Heath bank note facsimile plate as printed without plate number; 16 engraved plates of bank notes or elements, with tissue guards, interspersed in the text, comprising impressions of genuine and counterfeit fractional currency notes (Plate 1), 10 engraved plates numbered 2-11 depicting genuine bank note design elements, an impression of a counterfeit $100 First National Bank of Boston note (Plate 12), and four unnumbered plates being impressions of a counterfeit $20 Fourth National Bank of New York note and a counterfeit $10 First National Bank of Philadelphia note, as well as counterfeit 1862 $10 and $50 United States notes. Plate 5 printed in green ink; the full-size counterfeit notes printed in green and black ink; none of the counterfeit notes are hole-punched. Very nicely rebacked, almost imperceptibly so, with new endpapers. In the years following the publication of his landmark study of the Heath counterfeit detectors, Eric P. Newman continued to examine every copy that he encountered, occasionally discovering new variations. He noted that the Heath bank note facsimile plates used in this printing were encountered both with and without a printed plate number (which, when it is encountered, is hole-punched). Thus was born Newman 2-BH-2(a), with the hole-punched plate number, and Newman 2-BH-2(b), without it. Their relative scarcity to each other has yet to be established. Near fine. An especially pleasing copy. Estimate $500. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15280 (realized $504).

    Banking House & Counting Room Edition Heath Counterfeit Detector, Newman 2-BH-1Boston and Washington: Heath, 1866 [incorrectly stating Pat'd July 12, 1867 on cover]; Pratt Brothers, Stereotypers and Printers. Second edition. Small 4to, original brown cloth, front cover lettered in gilt. 39, (1) pages; engraved heraldic frontispiece depicting the Treasury building and notable personages; Treasury Department facsimile letter; Heath bank note facsimile plate with number hole-punched as issued; 16 engraved plates of bank notes or elements, with tissue guards, interspersed in the text, comprising impressions of genuine and counterfeit fractional currency notes (Plate 1), 10 engraved plates numbered 2-11 depicting genuine bank note design elements, an impression of a counterfeit $100 First National Bank of Boston note (Plate 12), and four unnumbered plates being impressions of a counterfeit $20 Fourth National Bank of New York note and a counterfeit $10 First National Bank of Philadelphia note, as well as counterfeit 1862 $10 and $50 United States notes. Plate 5 printed in green ink; the full-size counterfeit notes printed in green and black ink and hole-punched as issued. Previous owner's bookplate and stamp. Some signatures sprung; spine chipped. Good. The "second" Banking House and Counting Room Edition is in fact the first edition in this format since, as Newman writes, "Heath himself construed his Pocket Edition to be his first edition for both his Pocket size and his Banking House size publications." Priced at $5.00, as opposed to $1.50 for the pocket first edition, this enlarged and enhanced counterfeit detector was designed for a sophisticated, professional clientele. The text is more detailed and the illustrations are derived solely from federal paper currency. Thus, Newman notes, "the comparison of the same edition of the Banking House size to the same edition of the Pocket size serves little purpose as there are too many differences." Banking House and Counting Room editions are encountered far less frequently than their "Pocket" counterparts and it seems clear that not only were fewer copies originally issued but that they generally saw far heavier use, adversely affecting their survival rate.
