    Eric P. Newman Correspondence Files: Paper MoneyA remarkable archive of five boxes of material, primarily consisting of original letters to Eric P. Newman from various collectors, students, and dealers involved with paper money (particularly early American paper money of the Colonial and Confederation periods) and carbon copies of Newman's letters in return, as well as copies of other associated items. Approximately 200 correspondents are included. Most materials are well-preserved. Given the size of this section of the Newman Archives, only a cursory overview can be given of some of the highlights. The Eric P. Newman correspondence on the subject of early American paper money reaches back before the Second World War. His correspondence with D.C. Wismer, for instance, begins in 1936. On August 12, 1939, Wismer closed a letter by noting that he was "sending a list of my Original Collection of Missouri notes Sold [to] the late E.H.R. Green," something Newman apparently followed up on. Newman's correspondence with John Muscalus begins in 1938, the year the first of Muscalus's numerous publications was printed. It spans 1938-1974 in 86 pages (with 64 pages before 1950). Newman's correspondence with another of the earlier 20th-century researchers, William H. Dillistin, begins in 1949 and runs for 44 pages through Dillistin's death in 1964. Newman began writing Julian Blanchard in 1948, connecting with him through Blanchard's activities with the Essay-Proof Society. Newman's correspondence with Blanchard is highly interesting and often downright scholarly, though it is not without its more amusing bits (on why he preferred to have a friend represent him at auctions instead of a dealer, Newman writes, "Frankly, I do not like to use the professionals because some of them do not have the kind of morals I approve of"). Correspondence between Eric P. Newman and a later generation of paper money scholars includes substantial material from Fred Marckhoff (over 180 pages, plus an additional 90 pages of correspondence and an inventory relating to Newman's purchase of Marckhoff's collection after his untimely death in 1966). These letters are often very detailed and informative. There are several files of Richard T. Hoober correspondence (1957-1975), totaling over 400 pages, including one specifically on the Wismer Catalogue Revision Project, and another devoted to material from the Fred R. Marckhoff collection sold to Hoober by Newman. The Marckhoff and Hoober files together paint a vivid picture of collecting Obsolete bank notes before there were standard references for most states. The paper money segment of the Newman Archives includes thousands of pages of correspondence, some of it casual and chatty, but much of it deeply informative and even dense. It awaits a devoted caretaker, but promises much to reward the explorer. Correspondents include: Abel, Darrell; Allen, Arthur H.; American Bank Note Company; Anderson, William G.; Bain, Thomas; Baker, Harold E.; Baldwin, Agnes; Barnes, Roger E.; Barrett, Dawn; Birt Jr., Hal; Blanchard, Julian; Blom, Christian; Bloom, Murray Teigh; Boettcher, M.J.; Boling, Joseph E.; Bowen, Harold L.; Bowers, Q.

    Eric P. Newman Correspondence Files: Colonial NumismaticsTwo boxes of material, consisting of original letters to Eric P. Newman from various correspondents and carbon copies of Newman's letters in return, as well as copies of other associated items. Over 60 correspondents are included. Please note that this lot consists of materials on Colonial and Confederation-era coins, tokens, and medals, but does not generally include paper money (listed in this sale as a separate segment of the Newman Archives). It does, however, include some correspondence on Fugio coppers, as they have generally received more attention from Colonial collectors than from collectors of U.S. federal coins. Most materials are well-preserved. Given that Colonial coinage is one of the areas with which Eric P. Newman was most associated, it should come as no surprise that this lot includes a large number of highly interesting letters and other documents. Much of the best material in this part of the Newman Archives is from the 1950s, when Newman's interest in Colonial and Confederation coinage was arguably at its peak, and when the relatively small number of specialists in that area seemed to intensify the quality of the work being done (and the enthusiasm generated). Some of the individual correspondence files included here are extensive: Bob Vlack's is well over 200 pages long. While Newman's interest in this area never faded, his increasing focus on paper money in the 1960s took him gradually out of the center of some of these discussions, though his considerable expertise meant that his opinion never could be ignored. Correspondents include: Barons, Stanley H.; Waltman, Brian; Anderson, P.K.; Anton Jr., William F.; August, Richard; Baldwin & Sons, A.H.; Bluestone, Barney; Brown, Vernon L.; Burt, Wayne; Carey Jr., Paul J.; Clark, William; Colonial Newsletter Foundation; Colonial Williamsburg Foundation; Craige, Ted L.; Danforth, Bryan; Dochkus, C.J.; Dolley, R.H.M.; Goldman, Jerome L.; Greco, Philip D.; Griffee, John M.; Hawley, Cyril H.; Hoch, Alfred D.; Johnson, Arvid O.; Kenney, Richard D.; Kleeberg, John; Kurth, Howard H.; Lee, Larry; McKinney, Davis; Moore, Roger A.; Nash, Chauncey C.; Noe, Sydney P.; Norweb, Henry and Emery May; Oechsner, Herbert M.; Oppenheim, Michael; Partrick, Donald G.; Partridge, Sanborn; Pietri, Angel O.; Pobutsky, Stephen; Rare Coin Review; Richardson, John M.; Robertson, Ann S.; Rock, Jeff; Ruddy, James F.; Schab, Henry W.; Seaby Ltd., B.A.; Shane, Leo; Siboni, Roger; Smyser, Craig; Spilman, James C.; Spink and Son; Spiro, Jacob Newman; Stack's; Taxay, Donald; Tellefsen, John A.; Terranova, Anthony; Trudgen, Gary A.; Vlack, Robert; Weinberg, Alan V.; Weston, Byron K.; White Oak Trading Company; Wild, William J.; Williams, Ray; Winthrop, John; and Woodward, W.W.

    Eric P. Newman Correspondence Files: Raymond H. WilliamsonOver 300 pages, consisting of original letters to Eric P. Newman from Williamson and carbon copies of Newman's letters in return, 1952-1997, as well as various other original and photocopied material including typescript drafts of article by Williamson. Materials are generally well-preserved. Raymond H. Williamson (1907-1997) had an engineering background and an interest in early American coinage in common with Eric P. Newman, with whom he began to correspond in 1952, directing his first letter (on the possible role played by Paul Revere in engraving dies for early American coins) to Newman through the offices of the Coin Collector's Journal. Williamson's correspondence is dense with information, often passing along to Newman lengthy excerpts from his reading in various primary documents, published papers and diaries of persons of interest. He was also quick to send Newman drafts of articles on which he was working: "The Franklin Press Token of 1794" was one; "The 'Why' of American Paper Money" was another. Newman shared galley proofs of Coinage for Colonial Virginia and The Fantastic 1804 Dollar with Williamson. On August 28, 1962, Newman wrote to Williamson that: {blockquote}"God has saved me. A few days before the release of our book, the 1804 Dollar presented to the King of Siam is announced. I stopped the release of the book and insisted on a complete rewrite which has now been finished. The presses actually broke down and that is why the book was not printed. The presses knew more about numismatics than I did. The type is being reset this week and the book will be out in about one month."{/blockquote} Unlike much of Newman's correspondence, the letters with Williamson very infrequently mention trading or any such negotiating of collectible coins or currency. The focus is on research. While Colonial specialists may be familiar with Williamson from his occasional contributions to the Colonial Newsletter, the depth of his knowledge and the devotion he had to panning for numismatic gold in the often-dry papers of states and persons of the late 18th and early 19th centuries demonstrate that he should be remembered as a numismatic scholar of the first rank, something Eric P. Newman clearly considered to be the case. Estimate $1,500. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15131 (realized $660).

    Eric P. Newman Correspondence Files: Kenneth ScottOver 300 pages, consisting of original letters to Eric P. Newman from Scott and carbon copies of Newman's letters in return, 1953-1967, as well as various photocopies and printed items. Occasional correspondence from or to other parties, of relevance to the Scott-Newman correspondence, is also included. Materials are generally well-preserved. Kenneth Scott (1900-1993) was a professor of history, teaching at Wagner College and City University of New York during the years in which he corresponded with Eric P. Newman. Between 1952 and 1960, he published several book-length works on counterfeiting during the Colonial and Confederation periods, as well as a number of articles on the subject. Three of his books, on counterfeiting in Colonial New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, were published by the American Numismatic Society. Scott's correspondence with Eric P. Newman is remarkable not only for its focus, but because of the fact that he was an academic conducting serious research on a numismatic topic from outside of the hobby. Neither a collector nor a dealer, Scott was purely a researcher, which had an appeal to Newman--as much of a collector as he was, Newman was always somewhat uncomfortable with the commercial side of numismatics. The correspondence here present is densely packed with information, and provides many avenues for further study. Estimate $1,000. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
