Newman, Eric P. COUNTERFEIT CONTINENTAL CURRENCY GOES TO WAR. Reprinted from The Numismatist, Jan. and Feb. 1957. 8vo, original printed card covers. 23, (1) pages; illustrated. Inscribed by the author to F.C.C. Boyd on the front cover. Fine. A wonderful association copy of this otherwise fairly common monograph. Newman’s work is exceptional as he discusses the ways in which the British attempted to subvert the American Revolution by attacking its economy by printing and distributing counterfeits of Continental Currency. Newman’s inscription reads: “To F.C.C. Boyd / A Man who has the spirit and energy of a true numismatist. (signed) Eric P. Newman.”
