Description
Poughkeepsie, NY - Farmers and Manufacturers' Bank $10 Sept. 1, 1859 NY-2280 S5a Spurious Issue. PCGS Very Fine 20.This distinctive spurious note uses two-color printing and shows a Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson imprint. A farmer and reclining Mercury are at the upper left (a ridiculous vignette that would not have been engraved by RWHE). Titles are in the center. Green tinting covers the note and outlines two white "X" protectors. Several dies and a red New York Bank die are at the right. A total fraud of a note, though they did put the patent date for the tint process to make the note more passable. This tint was "patented" at the crook's hideout. High grade for this and bright.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
