    Frossard's Important House Organ NumismaIrvington, January 1877 to December 1885. A complete run of sixty issues (as issued in fifty-nine). 4to, first seven volumes loose and self-covered, as issued; final three volumes neatly bound in one volume. Condition of unbound copies ranges from barely good to nearly fine, with some being three-hole punched near the spine; bound volume is nearly fine. Rare, especially complete. Undoubtedly the most lively of the 19th-century house organs, Numisma provides us with an intimate glimpse into the hobby as it and its personalities then existed. Over a century after publication, it remains a delightful and instructive read. The first nine volumes were published on a bimonthly basis, but the final volume was issued over a five-year period, which goes far to explain the rarity of complete sets. Estimate $1,000. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15225 (realized $1080). Heritage link: http://www.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1283&lotIdNo=11568

    Beschreibung:
    Unique and Important Inventory of the Freeman Collection of Early American CurrencyLarge leather three-ring binder with zipper housing 558 pages of carefully maintained and augmented inventory records describing in detail the massive and important collection of Colonial and Continental paper money formed by Harley Freeman. Data sheets are printed forms, which are neatly filled out by hand in pencil and ink. Some extra (blank) data sheets are enclosed. Generally fine. Eric P. Newman and Harley L. Freeman maintained a numismatic friendship for over 20 years, striking up a correspondence during the Second World War that focused on their shared interest in early American paper money. Freeman had assembled one of the foremost collections of Colonial and Continental currency, and Newman was eager to exchange both information and, where possible, notes through trade. Eventually, he arranged to purchase the entirety of Freeman's collection in a transaction that took from 1962 to 1964 to complete. This unique inventory is important for tracing the provenance of notes from Newman's collection back to Freeman's and from Freeman's back to many of his sources. It gives a most impressive view of one of the most extraordinary collections of this material ever formed, and has been called "one of the most important works in colonial paper money" (Stuart Hanebuth, writing in the E-Sylum). Fine. Estimate $2,500. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15224 (realized $1920).

    Beschreibung:
    1853 Fourth Edition Universal Counterfeit DetectorNew York: Mann & Spear, 1853. Fourth edition, fifth thousand. 16mo, original paper-backed brown cloth covers, lettered in gilt. 36 pages; 14 text engravings of bank note design elements; folding steel-engraved bank note facsimile tipped into the inside front cover. Minor spotting; near fine. Rare. The actual patterns or dies used to print the facsimile note in this edition "were sold at auction some years since, and duplicate dies have been made from them and scattered over the country ... and some of them have got into counterfeiters' hands... Therefore no pattern like any of these will ever be seen in a genuine note... The plate therefore serves two purposes--1st, illustrating genuine and perfect work; 2d, to guard against genuine auction dies used in counterfeits." Estimate $500. Ex: George F. Kolbe (6/1990).

    Very Rare 1851 Counterfeit Detector With Facsimile Bank NoteNew York: Oliver & Brother, 1851. Third edition, fourth thousand. 16mo, original paper-backed black cloth covers, lettered in gilt. 36 pages; 14 woodcut text engravings of bank note design elements; folding steel-engraved bank note facsimile tipped in facing the title. Very good. The very rare third edition, not present in the ANS Library and lacking from the Fuld, Champa, and Bass libraries. By 1851, it had grown to nearly double the size of the 1849 first edition above. The design elements of the facsimile bank note are keyed to the author's seven rules and "contain standard specimens of all the different styles of engraving of the notes of all the Banks in the United States." Estimate $500. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15222 (realized $960). Heritage link: http://www.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1283&lotIdNo=11341

    Extremely Rare 1849 First Edition Foote's Universal Counterfeit DetectorNew York: Oliver & Brother, Steam Printers, 1849. First edition. 32mo, modern green cloth, gilt. 20 pages; 8 woodcut text engravings of bank note design elements; folding steel-engraved bank note facsimile tipped in facing the final page. Very good. The first, extremely rare edition of one of the earliest American counterfeit detectors. Many of Foote's innovations were widely copied by later publications. It is possible that the engraved facsimile bank note, finely printed by J. Clark of New York, is not original to this copy and was instead produced only for later editions; there is no reference to it in the text or on the title page, as there is in later editions. Not listed in Dillistin. The ANS Library has only a fourth edition. Not a single copy of this edition is found on the OCLC International Library database. This copy was obtained, thus bound and with the engraved facsimile note, in the first Katen sale of the Fuld Library. A remarkable opportunity. Estimate $750. Ex: Melvin and George Fuld. Ex: Eric P.
