Here is a summary. CAA (Currency Auctions of America) May 18-19, Rosemont, Illinois. There is only one MPC lot, but it is a good one. Lot 416 is an AU Series 661 $20 replacement! I am sure that it is too late to get a catalog if you do not have one, but the good news is that they have published phone numbers directly into the viewing area: (847) 678-6240 and fax (847) 678-6278. Superior Galleries, May 27-29th auction, lot #3972 4 pieces Series 691, estimate $5000-7500. Lot # 3973 4 pieces Series 701 estimate $5000-7500. Lot #3967-3971 also MPC, two of which are bulk lots of $10.00 Series 641. (332 and 300 pieces). Lyn Knight Currency Auctions auction for the Long Beach show (June 1-2) features a spectacular catalog in in the full color style that he has used for the past few years. Unfortunately, the color is mostly wasted because there are only two pieces of MPC in the sale, lot 201 a gem CU 461 $10 and lot 202 a Series 472 $10 listed as CU but with some minor stains on the face. Minority might be in the eye of the seller. This piece probably should be seen before purchase. In spite of the sparcity of MPC, the sale does include a variety of North Africa and Hawaii notes worthy of consideration. All of these lots can be seen at www.lynknight.com. =============================================== Editorial ---------------------------------------------------- Most of you know Marv Mericle. You know his as editor of the M2C2 newsletter and a keen MPC collector. He is also a keen supporter of the scholarship fund even though you would not know that from the list that has been published over the past few weeks. Marv’s name was left off in spite of substantial donations to the fund. In addition to cash and minor material, Marv donated the famous MPC shipping box sliver that sold for a whopping $60 at the Fest. Oh yes, he then donated the entire box which went for real money at $600. That his name was left of was pure clerical error. I am sorry Marv! Thanks for the donations and for indulging out negligence! If anyone else who donated cash, credit or material is not on the list, please do not be shy. Let me know and I will correct the oversight. Of course all of this just brings up the matter of the scholarship fund again. The fund can still use donations. Please see the information below and contact Marcus! =========================================== Mail Call ---------------------------------------------------- Dear Gram, I was working on a potential trade for some paper money and one of the notes offered was an Imperial Bank of Canada counterfeit $100. I looked it up in the specialized edition of SCWPM and it is listed - 1917 Issue, P-S1141x. I then started looking through some price lists for current pricing on other notes and happened to see this note offered for sale and described as a "WWII Nazi counterfeit". I then looked in WWII Remembered and could not find any reference to this particuliar note. Is the reference to a "WWII Nazi counterfeit" correct? Do you have any information you can share in the Gram? Thanks, Ron Dear Ron, I think that I have heard this statement before, but have never heard anything to support the theory. Of course we would love to have such information. Possibly a reader can help. Thanks for writing.
