Brent Pogue Collection Sale Part VI It was with great sadness that I and others learned of the unexpected passing of D. Brent Pogue, quietly in his home, in July 2019. I have had the privilege and honor of knowing and working with Brent ever since he entered numismatics in the 1970s. From May 2015 through March 2017, all of us at Stack’s Bowers Galleries partnered closely with him and his family in auctioning his extraordinary collection of early American federal coins from the 1790s through the 1830s. Brent was the very definition of an extraordinary numismatist and connoisseur. A careful student with a fine library at hand, he researched every coin and paper money note he hoped to add to his collection. Brent was born in Dallas on December 19, 1964. It has been said that some people are endowed with a collecting spirit and intellectual curiosity from birth, and for Brent this was certainly true. The rest, they say, is history. Brent’s passionate interest in numismatics grew to include both United States coins and currency, a very rare attribute which has been shared by some of the greatest collectors of all time, including Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., Harry W. Bass, Jr. and John J. Ford, Jr. In his lifetime, Brent became one of the most prominent figures in American numismatics. Year by year, item by item, with the eye of a connoisseur he gathered the most valuable collection ever to cross the auction block. This statement is from reality and history—to date, not including this paper money or the coins that will also be offered in our March Baltimore auction, the realization from the five events already held by Stack’s Bowers Galleries has been over $106,000,000. This total far eclipses any other collection ever sold. Featured in the current catalog is Brent’s collection of federal paper money. Again, with keen intelligence, in-depth knowledge, and careful connoisseurship, he acquired note by note the finest of the fine, the rarest of the rare. This marvelous collection comprises approximately 230 notes encompassing the areas of large size type notes, small size type notes and National currency. Many of the notes in the collection are among the finest examples known for their types. Among the notes in the collection is the single finest graded $100 “Baby Watermelon Note.” The Fr.377 1890 $100 Treasury Note is graded Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ and sits atop the PMG census as the only uncirculated example of the type. In addition to the 1890 $100, the cabinet also includes the second finest PMG graded Fr.376 1891 $50 Treasury Note, designated Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ by PMG. Other highlights include the finest known “Spread Eagle” 1863 $100 Legal Tender Note, an Fr.167a graded Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ; a Fr.342 1880 $100 Silver Certificate graded Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ; the finest PMG graded example of the catalog number, and a Fr.1216b 1882 $500 Gold Certificate graded Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ. Additionally, the D. Brent Pogue Collection contains two remarkable First Charter National Currency notes from the First National Bank of Lincoln, Illinois, Ch. #2126. The pair is made up of a serial number 1 Fr.449 1875 $50 and a serial number 1 Fr.462 1875 $100, both graded PMG STACK’S BOWERS GALLERIES v About Uncirculated 55. They represent the only First Charter serial number 1 $50 and $100 notes known to exist. Brent was a close friend and confidant and has been dearly missed by me and by others in the firm who had the pleasure of knowing and working with him on his collections. His numismatic legacy, however, lives on, memorialized in our five catalogs of his early United States coins, and in the March 2020 Baltimore catalogs you now hold in your hands. As you read these words, we begin yet another chapter in our hobby’s history, as Brent’s and the Pogue family’s coin and currency collections are passed to the next generation of collectors.

  • Federal Reserve Notes and National Bank Notes
    Government and Private E-Money-Like Systems: Federal Reserve Notes and National Bank Notes Warren E. Weber CenFIS Working Paper 15-03 August 2015 The period from 1914 to 1935 in the United States is unique in that it was the only time that both privately issued bank notes (national bank notes) and central-bank-issued bank notes (Federal Reserve notes) were simultaneously in circulation. This paper describes some lessons relevant to e-money from the U.S. experience during this period. It argues that Federal Reserve notes were not issued to be a superior currency to national bank notes. Rather, they were issued to enable the Federal Reserve System to act as a lender of last resort in times of financial stress. It also argues that the reason eventually to eliminate national bank notes was that they were potentially a source of bank reserves. As such, they could have threatened the Federal Reserve System’s control of the reserves of the banking system and thereby the Fed’s control of monetary policy. JEL classification: E41, E42, E58 Key words: Bank notes, e-money, financial services The author thanks Ben Fung, Scott Hendry, Gerald Stuber, and participants at a seminar at the Bank of Canada for useful comments on an earlier version of this paper. The views expressed here are the author’s and not necessarily those of the Bank of Canada, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, or the Federal Reserve System.

  • DESIGN FEATURES of OLDER BANKNOTES (For Series 1988A and Older)
    DESIGN FEATURES OF OLDER BANKNOTES (for Series 1988A and older) www.fraudfighter.com 800.883.8822 This guide will help you authenticate Federal Reserve Notes Series 1928-1988A. There are four steps you should take to authenticate these notes: 1) Check for raised printing • This is the only security feature that is found on these notes. The raised printing feature is discussed on the page 6. 2) Make sure that lines and points on the bill are distinct and unbroken • Depending on the sophisication of the counterfeit, lines and points may be unclear and/or blurry. However, modern printing technology has become advanced and afford able enough that a great deal of counterfeits have distinct and unbroken lines and points, which is why you should also: 3) Check that the paper that the bill is printed on does not glow under UV light • The paper that real money is printed on absorbs light as opposed to reflecting it, which gives it a dull appearance under UV light. However, a favored method of counterfeiting money is to bleach lower denominations, such as a $1 bill, and print higher denominations, such as a $20 bill, onto of it; such a counterfeit would look like a real bill under UV light, which is why you should also: 4) Know what the denominations look like and know when major design changes occurred • It is helpful to know when major design changes occurred so that you do not turn away a real bill; just because a design on an old bill is slightly different than what you’re used to for more modern bills does not necessarily mean that it is fake.

    , I Thursday, March 3, 1994 • Vol. XXVI No. 102 Tl-lr INDEPI~NDENT NFWSPAPI:I\ Sli\VING NUTIU DAME AND ~AINT MARY'S Jamaican project to offer more than just a vacation By MEREDITH McCULLOUGH News Editor For many students the word "Jamaica" brings to mind a tropical island paradise - an exotic Spring Break vacation ground where the sun always shines and the beach is a welcome dis­ traction. But by August of next year, six Notre Dame graduates may feel a bit differently about Jamaica. By August, these graduates will find themselves no longer students but teachers, and may no longer see Jamaica merely as a resort country, but as their home. Under the leadership of Paul Chang, a 197 5 graduate of Notre Dame, the Jamaican chapter of the Notre Dame Alumni Club is in the process of developing a post-graduate volunteering pro­ gram in Kingston, Jamaica, with a focus on teaching. Chang, who recently visited the University to recruit students and work out administrative details, said he sees education as a means of combating poverty and underdevelopment by providing previously unavailable opportunities to those who need them most. "Through most service experiences you can touch maybe 50 people," said Chang, "but through teaching you might touch more like 200 and see real, leng term effects." The new program will be similar in structure to the Jesuit International Volunteers (JIV), and participants will have interaction with and guid­ ance from JIV volunteers who are already in Kingston. The need for Notre Dame volunteers in Jamaica is great, according to Chang.
