Description
Ruth Hill's Collection Inventory
And Extensively Annotated Catalogues
Hill, Ruth. Collection Inventory, Notes, and Other Records.
Lot consists of a photocopy of the extensive inventory, handwritten
on printed forms, of the enormous collection of world paper money
collected over some four decades by Ruth Hill. The inventory was
compiled by Hill and includes annotations made as late as 2014 by
those involved in maintaining and disposing of the collection.
Clear photocopies on 8.5 by 11 inch paper, approximately 900
sheets. Also included are several published catalogues of world
paper money that have been heavily annotated by Hill.The printed volumes constitute Hill's original working notes and include much of interest. Volumes present here include: the 1975 edition of Albert Pick's Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, a nearly tattered copy of the third edition, and Volume 2 of the 1982 edition; George J. Sten's Banknotes of the World, Volumes 1 and 2, plus a second copy of Volume 2; a copy of Ohashi Yoshiharu's 1957 guide to Japanese paper money, Nihon Shihei Taikei Zukan. Most of these catalogues are well-worn, and some are coverless and nearly in pieces, lacking pages, etc., but very heavily and usefully annotated. The Japanese volume includes dozen of typewritten sheets of careful notes on the subject of Japanese bank notes. Please note that some of these volumes are incomplete and in very poor condition, but all are far more valuable for their annotations than they are as books.
Ruth Hill (1898-1995) was an enthusiastic collector of world paper money and one of the main forces behind the International Bank Note Society (IBNS), of which she was a major supporter and active volunteer. In recognition of her service to the organization, which included a term as President from 1979 to 1981, she was named an Honorary Life Member and an Honorary Director for Life by the IBNS. A collector since the 1950s, she formed an extensive and wide-ranging collection that was eventually sold by Heritage in 2014. The present lot is of considerable relevance to anyone interested in world paper money. Given the nearly universal scope of Hill's curiosity on the subject of paper money, there is something for everyone in these notes. A unique opportunity.
Estimate $1,000.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
