| Description |
Colonial and Continental Note Reprints used with the March 1863 Harper's Article by Benjamin Lossing. Average Fine. A complete, untrimmed sheet on brown rag paper of the Colonial and Continental notes used to illustrate the Benjamin Lossing article Continental Money in Harper's Monthly. There is a serial number 419 Massachusetts 1690 note, not used in the article (and noted by Eric on his research slip). However, that no. 419 note does appear in Wilbur & Eastman's "Money..." and is the note currently in the Smithsonian. There are also four trimmed reprints with one duplicate. A rare and interesting sheet of reprints. There are some edge splits on the sheets here and there. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
