Lowest Serial Number Recorded
Fr. 2100-H* $50 1928 Federal Reserve Note. PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.A lovely note, and one of our favorite small size notes in the Newman Collection holdings. It combines true rarity with great desirability. It is not only the sole low serial number 1928 $50 St. Louis star reported to date but is nicer than any such example offered at public sale during the past decade. The originality here is evident right through the holder, and it would not surprise us at all to see this two digit star, which comes from a print run of only 24,000 pieces, well exceed our likely conservative estimate.

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.
