KOLBE & FANNING SALE 172 SELECTIONS

Adams, Edgar H. UNITED STATES STORE CARDS. A LIST OF MERCHANTS' ADVERTISING CHECKS, RESTAURANT CHECKS, AND KINDRED PIECES ISSUED FROM 1789 UP TO RECENT YEARS, INCLUDING MANY OF THE TOKENS WHICH PASSED AS MONEY AND KNOWN AS HARD TIMES TOKENS. New York, 1920. 8vo, later red boards; original printed front card cover trimmed and mounted. (4), 75, (1) pages.

Heavily annotated throughout, with handwritten additions, deletions and corrections (see comments); a couple of inserts laid in, including Donald Miller's receipt for this copy, purchased from David Bullowa in 1949 for $12.50. Binding very worn, with rear cover loose. Good. An important work, extensively annotated by Joseph Barnet, one of the foremost token experts of his day, and later in the library of Donald Miller, whose 1962 A Catalogue of U.S. Store Cards or Merchants Tokens is a revision and expansion of Adams with updated pricing.

The annotations in this copy would appear to be Barnet's collection inventory, with notes on unlisted tokens that he had encountered and various corrections and emendations to Adams's text. Every page except for the preliminaries has some annotations by Barnet, making this a most notable copy for the specialist, and an important source of information for Miller. Barnet is best remembered today for his work on Civil War store cards, and he is a member of the Civil War Token Society's Hall of Fame. Ex Joseph Barnet Library; ex Donald M. Miller Library; ex Wayne Homren Library.

NEW BOOK: THE ELEPHANT CHARIOT PERIOD

The Elephant Chariot Period in the Coinage of Susa
Kritt, Brian.
[Classical Numismatic Studies No. 16].

Lancaster, PA, and London, 2024.
Hardbound with dust jacket.
132 total pages and 44 plates. (GR 367).

From the author's synopsis:

In recent years, there have been several studies of the Seleucus I coinages of Susa, but mostly focused on coins of the first half of the reign: the Trophy coins and Alexanders. Although a large number of new coins of those types have appeared since my publication of ESMS, very few new control varieties have been discovered, none for the Trophy tetradrachms. This book is the first major study since ESMS of the coins of the second half of the reign, what I call the Elephant Chariot Period. Besides the elephant chariot coins, this includes a number of related issues: Zeus / elephant staters, Artemis biga gold staters, Baal / lion staters, and others. Many new varieties of this period have now been identified, including ten new varieties with elephant types, and a new Baal / lion stater variety of Susa, the first since the time of Newell.

NEW BOOK: THE MONEY OF BAVARIA

The book "The Money of Bavaria" brings together all Bavarian coin issues and all supra-regional Bavarian paper money issues from the Kingdom to the Free State . In the process, numerous new findings were gained that help to expand the knowledge of modern Bavarian numismatics.

With an introduction by Dr. Richard Loibl from the House of Bavarian History.

The book turned an initially vague idea into reality. From Elector Maximilian IV Joseph, who ascended to the throne in 1806 as the first Bavarian king, through his heir to the throne to the last king of Bavaria, Ludwig III, all Bavarian circulation coins, river gold ducats, and historical and prize thalers are listed, illustrated in color, and described and evaluated in detail, including the variants, samples, patterns and strikes.

NUMISMATIC CONTENT ON THE WAYBACK MACHINE

NUMISMATIC CONTENT ON THE WAYBACK MACHINE

The Wayback Machine is the most significant collection of archived web pages on the Internet, with a current collection size of 916 billion web pages. Wayback Machine content is frequently accessed by journalists and historians wishing to verify what did, or did not, exist on a certain web page at a certain point in time. Pages from the Wayback Machine have been accepted in courts as a non-partial historical record, and the research value of this archive is hard to overstate.

Under sponsorship of the Newman Portal, the Wayback Machine has archived nearly a thousand numismatic websites, with additional sites being constantly added. More than a few of these sites have in time gone defunct, meaning that this is the only record of the site that is accessible to the general public. The archive is not completely comprehensive, meaning that not every page of every site is saved. However, users will always find top-level pages in addition to substantial subsidiary content.

VOCABULARY TERM: RECOINAGE

Recoinage. Melting one class of coins and using the metal to fabricate a new class of coins, or to retire the metal from the old class and issue new coins in a different composition. In a way, recoinage goes on constantly as old, worn coins are withdrawn from circulation, and melted for the metal these contain. However some notable recoinages have taken place in history. In 1696 the Tower Mint in London could not produce a new silver coinage fast enough to replace existing coins, so country mints (Bristol, Chester, Exeter, Norwich and York) – under control of Sir Issac Newton – were called upon to aid in striking the new coins. As it was, it required two years to complete the recoinage.

ALEXANDER NICOLL (1821-1895)

I recently started collecting Victorian trade cards from Nicoll the Tailor. The paper they are printed on is limp and cheaper than typical trade cards. Can any E-Sylum reader figure out why I have an interest in them?

Alexander Nicoll was born in London on June 1, 1821, the son of Alexander Nicoll (1781-1851).

The father was a tailor in London. He was married in 1841 to Elizabeth Powell (1819-1877). They had ten children.

Alexander moved to Australia in about 1854. In 1856, he was in the Australian Census in Collingwood, Melbourne and employed as a tailor.

GERRY FORTIN INTERVIEW, PART THREE

GREG BENNICK: So eventually your set became something majestic, and would it be possible to talk about that, or have we missed a step on the way to majestic?

GERRY FORTIN: What happened from 1990 to about 1995: I was focused on varieties. I was not focused on high-grade mint state pieces. I was more focused on identifying dies and buying, typically if I could find them, nice XF-AUs. Because on XF-AUs, you can get all the die details, the die cracks and any die polishing or die defects. You can see it. You can photograph it. When you get to VFs and below, it's very, very difficult. So, my semiconductor career was moving along nicely in Fairchild. We got bought out by National Semi in ‘87. So, I was now officially working for National Semiconductor, even though I hadn't moved. I was still in Portland, Maine. It's just...we had a new owner.

And let's skip ahead to 1997. So, 10 years later, the Portland people had not assimilated well in National, because National was west coast based, and there's different philosophies, work ethics, and so on. So, we never really merged. And in ‘97, I'm trying to remember who the CEO of National was, but he had this brilliant idea he was going to challenge Intel on microprocessors. And he needed about $350 million to launch that initiative. So, he approached our divisional president in Portland said, "Do you want to buy a piece of the company and turn it back into Fairchild?" And...the gentleman's name was Kirk Pond.

NOONANS: HAMMERSLEY COLLECTION OF SOVEREIGNS

Noonans Mayfair will offer The Hammersley Collection of exceptional British Milled Sovereigns on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at 2pm. Comprising 62 lots, the collection represents the best group of milled sovereigns to be dispersed in London for over a decade and is estimated to fetch in the region of £265,000.

As Bradley Hopper, Head of Coins at Noonans commented: "Introduced as a replacement for the Guinea after three decades of economic turbulence caused by the war with France, the purpose of the Sovereign, as its name suggests, was to re-establish the political and economic power of Britain and its Empire."

He continued: "The title of the collection, ‘Hammersley', was suggested by the vendor, a UK based gentleman who wishes to retain his anonymity. It references the Hammersley family of royal bankers, to whom the vendor is distantly related. The bank operated from 1786 until being absorbed by Coutts in 1840."

COINS FOUND WITH WOMAN IN POMPEII

After lying hidden beneath metres of volcanic rock and ash for 2,000 years, a "once-in-a-century" find has been unearthed in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii in Italy.

Archaeologists have discovered a sumptuous private bathhouse - potentially the largest ever found there - complete with hot, warm and cold rooms, exquisite artwork, and a huge plunge pool.

The spa-like complex sits at the heart of a grand residence uncovered over the last two years during a major excavation.

ROMAN GOLD COINS FOUND IN LUXEMBOURG

An extraordinary treasure of 141 Roman gold coins, or solidi, of the late 4th century CE has been unearthed by archaeologists from Luxembourg. The finding was made at Holzthum village in northern Luxembourg after several years of excavations headed by the National Institute for Archaeological Research (INRA).

These solidi were struck between 364 and 408 CE, carrying portraits of nine emperors. The pieces of money found include the rare coins of Emperor Eugenius, who reigned for only two years (392–394 CE).

The coins, valued at approximately €308,600 (about $322,000), were found near the foot of a late Roman fortified tower, burgus, which was used for military observation. Of the emperors that can be made out from the remains found, Eugenius is the most outstanding. He had a very short and stormy government, proclaimed by the powerful general Arbogast as emperor of the Western Roman Empire following the mysterious death of Emperor Valentinian II; Eugenius tried to recover elements of the Roman pagan traditions, and for a time he enjoyed the support of the nobility of the West.

His reign, however, was contested by the Eastern Roman Emperor, the Christian Theodosius I, who refused to allow Eugenius to exercise authority. This inevitably led to the Battle of Frigidus in 394 CE, which saw the defeat and subsequent execution of Eugenius. His coins remain among the rarest relics of his short rule.

11TH CENTURY SILVER COIN HOARD FOUND

A hoard of coins dating back to the 11th Century has been found at the site of a future nuclear power station.

Oxford Cotswold Archaeology discovered a lead package containing 321 silver coins in mint condition during excavations at Sizewell C on the Suffolk coast.

The team believed the bundle of coins could have been the savings pot of a local figure, fearing regime changes following the coronation of Edward the Confessor in 1042.

GERMAN CHURCH 1600S COIN STASH FOUND

Restorers at a famous Gothic church in Germany have discovered a "huge fortune" that was hidden in the leg of a statue nearly 400 years ago. The treasure — four bags of coins from the 1600s — was likely concealed during the Thirty Years' War, when Swedish soldiers frequently plundered the region.

The discovery is an "incredible story," Ulf Dräger, curator and head of department at the State Coin Cabinet of Saxony-Anhalt in Germany, told Live Science in an email. The restorers, who made the find in May 2022 but didn't announce it until November 2024, uncovered the coins at St. Andrew's Church, a Gothic church in Eisleben, a town in the east-central state of Saxony-Anhalt. This church is where Martin Luther, the Protestant Reformer who wrote the "Ninety-five Theses" against corruption in the Roman Catholic Church, delivered his last four sermons in 1546.

2025 AMERICAN INNOVATION DOLLAR DESIGNS

The United States Mint (Mint) today released the designs for the 2025 American Innovation $1 Coin Program. This multi-year series that began in 2018 honors innovation and innovators by issuing $1 coins for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories.

Once the Secretary of the Treasury approves the design concepts, the designs are developed and reviewed. The Secretary of the Treasury selects the final design for each coin. The 2025 designs honor innovations and/or innovators from Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, and Texas.

2025 AMERICAN WOMEN QUARTER DESIGNS

The U.S. Mint is wrapping up its four-year American Women Quarters Program with new quarters coming out this year depicting historic figures like a tennis star, an astronomer whose work is credited with leading to the discovery of dark matter, and the founder of the Girl Scouts.

The final class of new quarters includes Ida B. Wells, a Black woman born into slavery in Mississippi during the middle of the Civil War who went on to work in journalism, fight against lynching, champion women's right to vote, and found the National Association of Colored Women's Club. Wells's quarter, sculpted by Mint medallic artist Phebe Hemphill, cites her professions as a journalist, suffragist, and civil rights activist.

1917 BOY SCOUT LIBERTY LOAN MEDAL

Back in 2011 when I began research on my hometown, College Point, NY, and its involvement in World War One, I came upon an article dated October 25, 1917 with a headline reading College Point Takes $282,700 Liberty Bonds. Included was a sentence that I failed to notice at the time saying that Queens County Boy Scout Executive Charles A. Worden had come to present honor medals to twenty-one scouts who had solicited at least ten subscriptions from ten separate families, and to acknowledge the splendid work performed in the nation's first Liberty Loan drive.

At the time, the small town had six troops, including one, Troop 2, that was organized on August 6, 1910 by Poppenhusen Institute Director John Gyger Embree, a very good friend of sculptor and Institute Board member, Hermon Atkins MacNeil. On March 20, 1930 Troop 2 would be recognized as being the oldest Boy Scout Troop in the United States.

DEFECTIVE OLYMPIC MEDALS REPLACED

COLLECTING FIRE MARKS

When former Olympic gold-medal sprinter Michael Johnson heard the Palisades fire was heading his way, he knew his multimillion-dollar hillside home in Malibu, Calif., was in danger.

Johnson didn't simply dial 911 as others in the wildfire's path did: He turned to his private firefighting system for protection.

Johnson pays about $5,000 a year to lease the system, a pump-and-hose apparatus that can draw large amounts of water from his swimming pool to help fight the progress of wildfires and backstop the city's municipal firefighters and hydrants.

CONFEDERATE BANKNOTE CAPTURED AT VICKSBURG

Consigned to us as part of a larger group of Confederate and Obsolete notes is a T-53 1862 Confederate $5 with the signature of Col. Benjamin H. Grierson. This note, graded Choice Very Fine 35 by PCGS Banknote, is distinct from its counterparts and seemingly has been overlooked. It features a number of penned contemporary annotations that are more than just simple endorsements, but mark it as something kept to remember a specific event – in this case a raid which proved crucial in the eventual capture of Vicksburg in summer 1863.

This lightly circulated Confederate States of America note reads "Captured at Newton Station Miss on the Southern Railroad April 24, during the raid." Below that the signature of Col. (B)enjamin (H)enry Grierson "Col Comdg the Calvary Brigade" can be observed. The context behind this piece is certainly remarkable, as are the circumstances which prompted its preservation.
