Miscellaneous Currency � "Colonel" Green-Newman Collection Currency Storage Books for Colonial and Continental Currency. 38 Books. Much of the Newman Currency Collection was stored for many decades in subject-titled, pebble-surfaced, brown simulated-leather storage binders once owned by "Colonel" E.H.R. Green. Most volumes are custom gilt stamped on the cover and spine. Notes in these octavo-size books were arranged chronologically or alphabetically to allow for easier study and comparison. Sometimes books were relabeled and reused for different subjects . This first significant set contains the complete collection of Colonial and Continental currency binders with interior pages that formerly housed the Newman Collection. All thirteen colonies, some with multiple volumes (like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Virginia with the most). Vermont notes were with the second New Hampshire album. There is an additional Continental Currency binder, but labeled so over a New Jersey "Uncurrent Bank Bills" book. Like all in these currency storage collections, unique. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20516, realized $144. |
