PRIVATE MUSEUM COLLECTION OF U.S. PAPER MONEY
The 66th Anniversary sale of Stack's of New York features
a collection of United States Paper Currency that "was part
of a monetary display in a Private Museum for over six decades.
It served to illustrate the various types of notes used in
American Commerce from the initial U.S Demand Notes,
authorized in 1891, through the later Federal Reserve Notes"
[the date is a typo - the Demand Notes were issued in 1861
- Editor]
"To the best of our knowledge, though many hundreds of
bankers as well as educators viewed the museum exhibit,
none of these notes have been recorded in the census
information provided by United States currency references.
These notes and their serial numbers can now be added to the
records available for collectors."
The entire catalog is illustrated in full color, and includes
photographs of the exhibit as it was mounted. The notes are
in high grades and the photos are beautiful. The catalog will
make a nice companion to any reference work on U.S.
currency.
