Colin Narbeth - London

Went in on Friday for the first time ever.

Came out with a 1776 Connecticut Shilling, a Jersey 1942 shilling and a
cross print ww2 Maltese 2 shilling 1 shilling, if you know what I mean.

Need to smuggle these in to the house and go back

I have found Aladdins Cave and it is closer to Leicester Square than I
imagined!

Thanks
Darren

There's an article about Colin in the March issue of Coin News.

He was the founder of the IBNS in 1961.

Does he have much Scottish in stock, I do check dealers' web sites
regularly but I have a suspicion that they are not updated very often.

I was told the website is pretty active, there were some nice Scottish on
show, including some 19th specimen notes, I refrained from looking too
closely since I was on the search for wartime shilling notes. There were
some stunning looking Irish Provincial Bank notes featuring young Victoria.

I will be back, but I need to get paid again.

Thanks

Ach, you are getting into Colonials aye?

I collected these pretty actively when I was a teenager, and saving
allowances etc, I managed to buy some pristine Uncirculated examples of some
issues, notably the New York Waterworks issue of Jan. 1776.

I also have a complete type set of the Massachusetts Bay Colony issue of
1780.

Back then they were not very expensive, but now they are.

Well I've started a small collection of war time shillings - and I figure
there was a war on... so I got it. I've been looking at colonials for a
while but my mood, and the price, was right.

So maybe you can tell me something about the chap that signed my note?
Benjamin Payne - I've done a few google searches but get lost in the web of
useless references to the Payne family (sorry guys) through the ages.

I also have a complete type set of the Massachusetts Bay Colony issue of
1780.

Back then they were not very expensive, but now they are.

Which is why I only have the one

Thanks

Well I have a bit more experience in searching this stuff and came up with
the following info:

Benjamin Payne(b. 1728, bur. 25 Jan 1782); lived in
Hartford, Conn. and was a captain in the Continental Army.

One of my more interesting signatures on several of the Massachusetts notes
is Loammi Baldwin, whom was a commander in the Continental Army, and later
developed a variety of the apple called the "Baldwin Apple".

It is possible to buy notes printed by Benjamin Franklin for only a few
hundred dollars, or notes signed by constitution or articles of the
Confederation signers for about $1000 or so.

Photograph of his headstone would be great

I heard there were some notes from Mass. signed by John Hart, don't think
made an apple though.
