NCNS PUBLICATIONS

  Paul Horner and Jerry Roughton produce a very nice occasional
  periodical called The North Carolina Numismatic Scrapbook.
  I ordered a set of back issues and they arrived this week.  It is
  a quality publication, well illustrated and researched.  It is
  focused on, but not limited to, paper money history.  It is an
  outlet for the pair's research, and is not affiliated with any
  numismatic organization.   Articles in the first four issues include:

     A Commemorative Banknote -
     The History Behind the Vignettes

     Madison Toll Bridges

     C.C. Sanford Sons Co. Mocksville, North Carolina
     Cardboard Store Scrip

     A Rare North Carolina Counterstamp of Fayetteville

  Of special interest to bibliophiles is "A. B. Andrews, Jr.
  Cataloguer of North Carolina State Treasury Notes."
  An article on the notes by Andrews was published in the
  Charlotte Daily Observer in 1908.  Andrews' catalogue
  was later published in The Numismatist, but his pioneering
  work was not acknowledged in Bradbeer's 1915 book,
  "Confederate and Southern State Currency".

  When I first wrote to Paul Horner about the Scrapbook,
  he replied:  "It is a small journal devoted primarily to the
  obsolete paper money and scrip of North Carolina.  Each
  issue typically contains 12 pages of new material that will
  not be found elsewhere, say 3 - 6 articles.  All the research,
  writing and printing is done by my coeditor, Jerry Roughton,
  and myself.

  When a printing run is made of the SCRAPBOOK no extra
  copies per se are included, only issues for those who are
  subscribers.  To do another original printing of back issues
  would require too much time and expense.  However we can
  offer you all the back issues (Nos. 1 - 5), but they must be
  copies of the originals.  If this would suit you, the price for a
  set is $25.

  We have started our second year of publication, and have
  recently mailed out issue #6.  The cost is $15 per year.
  We anticipate at least 4 issues a year, on an "infrequent"
  basis, last year we put together 5 issues that included about
  65 pages of material, extra pages beyond 12 being added
  as needed.

  If you care to get a set of back issues  at 25, a subscription
   at 15 or both for $40, please send a check for the appropriate
  amount, with your mailing address to:

       NCNS
       PO Box 793
       Kenansville, NC  28349

  Both the back issues and new issues will be mailed via first
  class mail.  The back issues and new subscription will be
  mailed from different places, and will not be sent together."

  [By the way, another good place to find articles on obsolete
  paper is Numismatic Views, the journal of the Gulf Coast
  Numismatic Association, edited by subscriber Nolan Mims.
  The May 2003 issue features an article by Nolan on "The
  Bank of Mobile 1820-ca.1866."
