You had a very nice article where some of the world paper money magnates discussed the status of the Ruth Hill Collection. In short, Dusty Royer said the bank still has it.
Did you see the upcoming highlights for the Central States Numismatic Society auction by Heritage? They list as part of the sale "The Ruth W. Hill Collection" and let's just say some of the notes they've highlighted are nothing short of spectacular.
I hadn't noticed that reference. At my request Robert forwarded links to some of his favorite items in the sale. Here are some of them.
