World-Class Collection of U.S. Paper Money
to Premiere at ANA Show in Baltimore

One of the most extensive private collections of United States
paper money, featuring extremely rare and unique pieces, will be on
exhibit for the first time at the American Numismatic Association
(ANA) World's Fair of Money(R) in Baltimore, July 30-August 3.
"Paper money has the unique distinction in the hobby of
numismatics of having chronological, sequential, separately embossed
serial numbers that give an additional dimension to the quest of
collecting currency," says exhibitor John Whitney. "This 43-case
exhibit contains 1,395 pieces of currency that provide a broad
sampling of 'type' notes, which are reasonably collectable; and each
main category of federal currency, including Demand Notes, Silver
Certificates, United States or Legal Tender Notes, Treasury or Coin
Notes, Federal Reserve Notes, Federal Reserve National Currency
Notes, Compound and Interest Bearing Notes, and National Bank Notes.
"The exhibit also includes a broad sampling of fancy serial
number notes, displaying the many ways of collecting common, low-
denomination, Federal Reserve Notes," Whitney adds.
Whitney's "show stoppers" include samples of large-size Legal
Tender Notes from the 1869 series with "rainbow ink" in $1 to $50
denominations, and notes from the 1875 series in $1 to $20
denominations that bear the serial number "A-1."
The exhibit also will feature early large-size Silver
Certificates in $1 to $100 denominations from the 1880 to 1891
series, "Educational" notes from the 1896 series, and four cases of
error notes, including double denominations from 1914, '18, '28, '34
and '50 series notes. The only known example of the $500 Treasury
Note from the 1891 series will be included.
ANA President John Wilson, who also is a paper money collector,
says, "I have never seen anything like what will be on display in
Baltimore. I think John Whitney's exhibit, along with the display of
four of the five known 1913 Liberty Head nickels and the auction of
an 1804 Bust dollar will make this a never-to-be-equaled ANA
convention."
Ninety years after their suspicious creation and six decades
since anyone saw the 1913 Liberty head nickels together, these
numismatic treasures will make a historic, once-in-a-lifetime
appearance at the ANA's five-day convention in Baltimore.
For the first time in the history of the Association, an 1804
Draped Bust silver dollar--known as the "King of American Coins" and
one of 15 known specimens--has been consigned to the ANA's official
public auction to be conducted by Bowers and Merena Galleries of
Mandeville, Louisiana.
