NEW BOOK: TERRITORIAL BANKING IN NEBRASKA

Editor Jay Recher (jayrecher@yahoo.com ) submitted this information about his new book on Nebraska paper money. Thanks! -Editor

I have finally finished the new edition previously written by Leonard Owen. I obtained the rights to his old book from CSNS (Central States Numismatic Society). I've added some very cool things...

  • Territorial Banking in Nebraska
  • Over 125 color photos
  • Over 300 market prices
  • Updated the rarity scale for several banks
  • Cross references to McKee, Walton and Haxby
  • Historical information on all the cities that circulated paper money
  • Many notes that have never appeared in other books (I.E.: proprietary proofs, uncut sheets that appeared in the 1990 Christie's Sale, etc).
  • 184 pages, with appendixes

This book should be up on Amazon as an ebook with a day or two. The current price on Amazon for the ebook is $24.99. However, I will be ordering a small print run in paperback.

I want to give the E-Sylum readers a chance to get a pre-order for the paperback plus the ebook for $19.99 (not including shipping). The paperback will retail for $34.99.

In the coming days I will have a website (www.NebraskaPaperMoney.com) up and going where one can pre-order and buy the ebook. The price for the ebook will be $19.99, and the pre-order for the book will be $29.99.

At my request Jay provided a few images of notes listed in the book. Thanks! -Editor

$1 Bank of Dakota

Jay adds:

The $10 isn't listed in Haxby, and is currently designated as unique. The Bank of Florence is very common as a remainder, but less than 5 examples are known (R7) of the signed notes. All are in full color.

The $1 Western Exchange is courtesy of Heritage Auctions, while the other two notes are from the Bryon Reed Collection.

For those who maybe have questions about the pricing, and which notes have pricing. I got the pricing from auctions, dealers and retail pricing... a mixture. That was my order of preference. Some notes haven't been sold in some time and those notes wouldn't have pricing. I didn't want to make up a dollar figure. The goal of pricing was to give something to the Nebraska and Obsolete collector something they haven't had in a long time - what's it worth.

Each note is broken down to four grades. The four grades are determined by what the collector is going to find most often in the marketplace. Example: a rare note may have: Good - Very Good - Very Fine - Extra Fine... while, a more common note may have: Very Fine - Extra Fine - About Uncirculated - Uncirculated. I did this to give better pricing for each note. On a side note, usually each bank will have the same four grades to give a better continuity.
