  FIRST CONFEDERATE CURRENCY COLLECTOR
  

  We had no takers on last week's quiz to name the first
  collector of Confederate Currency, according to the research
  of Fred L. Reed III. Quoting from his article in the October
  2004 issue of Bank Note Reporter, in 1866 the gentleman
  "presented a collection of Confederate paper money and
  postage stamps to the Boston Numismatic Society, of which
  he was already a correspondent. That collection was
  exhibited at the BNS meeting of April 12, and reported in the
  May issue of the American Journal of Numismatics." The
  gentleman also "subsequently donated a collection of
  Confederate Currency and Confederate postage stamps, as
  well as Confederate and Virginia bonds ..." to the American
  Numismatic and Antiquarian Society. He was born in 1839
  and lived to 1914. Any guesses now? No fair looking at
  the Bank Note Reporter article, but if your library includes
  the right issues of the AJN, your shelves are fair game.
