In U.S. Treasury Notes 1812-1865 by Nicholas J. Bruyer, the author presents for the first time a coherent and chronologically ordered book on these early United States banknotes, providing an in-depth understanding of why many were initially issued - whether to finance wars or to salvage the United States from imminent collapse. Now collectors can approach this series with confidence, armed with newfound knowledge of the history of Treasury Notes and their significance to our nation's monetary system. Many of the notes illustrated in the book are rare proofs or specimens, some of which were never issued or are unknown in their issued form. This isn't just an important reference; it is an enjoyable read that is a must for any numismatic library.
This new title will debut at the upcoming
ANA World's Fair of Money convention in Pittsburgh at the Stack's Bowers Galleries table - #1000. In addition, Nick Bruyer will be on hand to meet attendees, talk paper money and personally autograph all copies of his soon to be best seller, offered at a special convention price of $30, a 50% discount to the cover price.
Nick will also have an extraordinary million dollar display of Treasury Notes, from a $1000 note from the War of 1812, to a $50 7.3% "coupon" note issued from 1864 to the end of the Civil War. Also on display will be an unissued specimen of the first and only U.S. $3 note, from 1815; a $50 note from the Panic of 1837; the first "Demand" note ($50) from 1843; the first $5000 note, issued for the Mexican War in 1847; the first note issued for the Civil War, a unique 1861 $50 6% 2-yr note valued at $1 million; a proof $100 coupon-bearing 7.3% note of 1861; and a $100 1864 Compound Interest note.
We hope to see you there!
