Description
Fr. 771 $2 1918 Federal Reserve Bank Note PCGS About New 53.This design type is known in the hobby as the "Battleship" $2, since the entire central portion of the back is given over to a vignette of a World War One era battleship. When this ship's name is cited, it is always referred to as the New York; however, it has been claimed that some elements were copied from a different ship. The note itself is fairly scarce, with around 70 examples known. This is a lovely About New piece, clearly original, and showing a great overall appearance. The reason for the absence of the PPQ designation is a mystery to us.

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.
