A propos de cet article

v, 374 p.; 24 cm. Includes Illustrations. This is Volume II of Criswell's Currency Series. The first editon was published in 1961. Only 5000 copies were printed. Since it was completed, additional scholarship and updating of price and rarity information has occurred. The author died in 1999. The following information is from an obituary: Criswell had served on the Board of Governors of the American Numismatic Association for a total of 22 years, including a two-year term as president from 1977 to 1979. He was a familiar and colorful figure at national and regional coin shows for much of his adult life before poor health limited his travel in recent years. Criswell was an expert on Confederate paper money, and wrote several books on the subject. He was a dealer in this material, as well, for many years--and his personal collection was among the most extensive ever formed, causing him to be dubbed "the richest man in the world.in Confederate money." He was a Yankee by birth, hailing from Chicago, where his father operated a candy company. But he transplanted his roots to Dixie after attending The Citadel, a military school in Charleston, S.C. Following graduation from The Citadel in 1951, he attended Stetson School of Law in Florida. In 1959, at the age of 25, he was elected mayor of St. Petersburg Beach, Fla., making him one of the youngest men in the nation at that time to hold the office of mayor in a city whose population exceeded 10, 000. He later sought election unsuccessfully to the U.S. House of Representatives and--though never appointed--reportedly came up for consideration twice as director of the U.S. Mint. In 1972, Criswell launched Bank Note Reporter, a paper money journal published today as a monthly newspaper by Krause Publications. In addition to serving as an ANA official, he was a founder of the Society of Paper Money Collectors, a founder and president of Florida United Numismatists and an active member of numerous other coin clubs and societies, including the prestigious Rittenhouse Society.
