Unusual Poughkeepsie-Albany Cashier's Note Proof
Poughkeepsie, NY - Mechanics & Farmers Bank, Albany Cashier's Note $3 18__ NY-75-UNL. Proof. PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent.This is a newly discovered series for us; from Albany, but issued from Poughkeepsie. The banks obviously had a close tie in this period. A bold India paper proof by Leney & Rollinson. This simple design seems to express a little whimsicality on the part of the engraver. The "3" counters on the moiré end panel seem at first glance to be tumbling. Obligations and signature lines in the center. Noted with "Minor Hinge Remnants on Back." The first we have seen.

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.
