Description
1937 Letter from Farran Zerbe to Eric P. Newman
Zerbe, Farran. Typewritten Letter to Eric P. Newman, Signed in Ink, Dated June 2, 1937 on Chase National Bank Letterhead. Single leaf folded for mailing. Zerbe notes that he and Newman had corresponded before, and then answers a question Newman had asked him about Missouri paper money in the Col. Green Estate: "So far as I know the late Colonel Green or his mother, whose collection he is said to have inherited, never endeavored to acquire any repudiated or non-negotiable notes, such as state scrip and issues of private banks and individuals. I doubt if at this time there are any Missouri items in the Green collection unless probably Missouri National Bank Notes. The popular sale items in the Green material have not been destroyed. It is probable the remainder will eventually come on the market. Just in what way I do not know, but I doubt if it will be in the near future." Pin hole to upper left corner; some additional folds. Very good.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

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.
