Another interesting observation I learned from one of Jamie Yakes' articles — This one in "Paper Money", July/August 2011. The name of the article is "Small Notes - Mellon's Two Signatures", and it indicates that the signature of Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon, is different on Series 1928 and Series 1928 A notes. See for yourself:
I read the same article, I've been a member since 1976 or so and have almost all my magazines. You learn so much by just reading.
THE SPMC web site has been undergoing a massive overhaul and is becoming an even more in depth resource. They are attempting to post all 50 years worth of Paper Money back issues online for PDF download. (might be members only) This will be an enormous currency reading resource. There's some great stuff going on in the SPMC!
I have the CD with all 50 years of back issues — I immediately started saving individual PDF files from the CD, but gave up because there are just too many of them! It definitely is an enormous amount of material.
Two things: First, there's yet another Mellon signature on Series 1914 FRNs. Second...wait, you can get a CD of fifty years' worth of Paper Money magazine? Where do I get one?
1962 through 2012: http://www.spmc.org/journals The CD is 50 years worth of PDFs came with my membership renewal.
Clay, which year's renewal did that CD come with? I didn't get one! Wouldn't surprize me if it never reached me though, as issues have gone missing in the post in the past and when I've inquired about obtaining another copy, they tell me they don't print extras anymore... Have to buy them on the secondary market. Still, I'm so glad they are becoming available online!!! :thumb:
Same here. I've been a member of SPMC for several years and I get the magazine, but I've never heard of this CD....
That's because it doesn't exist. I confused it with the CD I received from IBNS containing IBNS Journals Volume 1 to 50, 1961 through 2011! Sorry for the confusion.
Clay... nice example.. This also holds true for John Allison who signed fractionals...sometimes he signed with an "e" instead of an "i" Nice post!
How did I never look into SPMC before? I must be living under a rock when it comes to knowing the vast resources associated with paper money!
