Big Red: Three Months On Board a Trident Nuclear Submarine
List Price: $27.50
Sale Price: $2.43

Hardcover, naval history, submarine
Big Red might have been subtitled The Anthropology of a Submarine. On these pages, Time magazine correspondent Douglas C. Waller--granted surprising levels of access by the Pentagon--describes life onboard the USS Nebraska, a Trident nuclear submarine, in compelling detail. Big Red lacks the thrills of Blind Man's Bluff, but it is nonetheless an engrossing book on the routines of the silent service. The Nebraska is an awesome triumph of military engineering: standing on end, it would be taller than the Washington Monument. And its might is impressive, including missiles that could wipe out Moscow and torpedoes "with three times the explosive power of the 1995 blast that leveled the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City." Readers will gain an intimate understanding of how the Trident works without ever having to set foot on one themselves. Waller has an uncanny sense of what questions to probe, such as why Trident submariners aren't likely to drown in claustrophobic compartments--a staple scene in submarine movies. (Answer: Flooding would cause the sub to sink, and then crushing water pressure would end the ordeal before the air ran out.) And yet movies are more than diversions, writes Waller: "Practically every Trident submariner had seen Crimson Tide and been jarred by it.... Officers still discuss Crimson Tide during private seminars on commanding a ship." Waller also displays a powerful sense of irony. He describes a Sunday service onboard the Nebraska, and then deadpans, "Their worship over, [the submariners] would now practice how to destroy much of what God created." He also isn't afraid to ask difficult questions, such as whether women and gays should be allowed onboard (currently, neither are), or to note that marital fidelity is a problem for both husbands at port call and the wives they leave back home. It would be wrong to say Big Red reads like a potboiler--there are no Crimson Tide-like moments of near launches or mutiny--but it is exciting in its own way. This is at once an impressive journalistic achievement and an incredibly informative book. --John J. Miller

Smythe March 20th U.s. & World Paper Money Auction to Feature the Only Known Examples of Siam Banknotes
Manhattan, New York - March 13, 2008 - The R. M. Smythe & Company spring paper money auction on March 20th 2008 will offer 890 lots of paper money at their Manhattan office. One of the more interesting lots of world banknotes will be the specimens of Siam banknotes, in particular the 20, 80, and 100 Tical denominations, are believed to be the only examples know to exist. They once resided in a Paris museum, were purchased by a dealer 15 years ago for $90,000, and recently were owned by the President of the Thailand Numismatic Association.
The spring sale will also include a wide selection of U.S. and World Notes, including; U.S. Large & Small size, 50's and 100's FRN's Small Size Collection, U.S. Small Size Errors, U.S. Fractional Currency, National Banknotes, Colonial Currency, Historic Documents, Confederate Currency and Bonds, Obsolete Currency, Obsolete Sheets and miscellaneous historical items. Some of the more noteworthy lots include:
Lot # 234 - Banque de l'Indo-Chine. [Estimate $100,000 to $125,000] Decree of 21.1.1875 and 20.2.1888. Bangkok. 1) 19.12.1898. 5 Ticals. P-S101. Specimen. Emerald green with printed date. Vignette on left depicting oriental woman holding bamboo shoot seated below "France" holding caduceus. Bank of France style of numeration with serial number 000 and block number 0.0. Value in English and French. Faux magenta watermark of woman. Two engraved signatures. Text in Chinese and Siamese overprinted in black on back. Impeccable condition. Uncirculated. 2) 5 Ticals. Specimen. Similar to first specimen but without date, zero numerals or faux watermark on front. Only one engraved signature. Overprint of Chinese and Siamese text absent from back, but Chinese text in the center is printed in emeral green with the rest of the back. Uncirculated. 3) 6.12.1898. 20 Ticals. P-S102. Brown with reclining Neptune holding trident at left. Back has black overprint in Chinese and Siamese. Zero numerals overprinted on front in black along with the magenta faux watermark. Two engraved signatures. Space left blank for handwritten or affixed signature for Le Caissierde l'Agence. Uncirculated. 4) 7.11.1898. 80 Ticals. P-S103. Light blue with two elephants at left and right pillars, two reclining women with a tiger and a water buffalo at lower center. Overprinting similar to that on the 20 Tical note, and signature block of Caissier de l'Agence left blank. Uncirculated. 5) 31.2.1898. 100 Ticals. P-S104. Red with Vasco de Gama at left and Polynesian man with paddle above dragon boat at right. Sailing ships at lower center. Overprintings similar to those in the previous three lots and signature area of Caissier de l'Agence left blank. Uncirculated. [5]
With the authorization of the Ministry of the Colonies, the Bank of Indochina opened a branch bank in Bangkok on 22 February 1897. The printing of banknotes for use use in Siam was first considered on April 27, 1897, and a series of four values (5, 20, 80 and 100 Ticals) adopted the design of the first series of notes issued for Indochine but with texts and colors modified. Each value has a different design, and there are various dates.
Lot # 235 - Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 18xx. 400 Ticals. [Estimate $15,000 to $20,000] P-S127r2. Salmon and green front with Chinese and Siamese text overprinted in black. Royal arms at top center. Red-orange back with Siamese text overprinted in black. Two vertical "CANCELLED" perforations. Date of Dec 1895 handwritten in black ink in the upper right margin. Highest denomination reported in the standard catalog. Extremely rare. Has a corner tip fold and some light glue remnant along a margin in the back. Choice AU.
Lot # 247 - Thomas De La Rue. [Estimate $20,000 to $25,000] Presentation album with front and back design proofs for an unissued 1000 Baht note. The purple on multicolored front has a portrait of King Rama IX at the left in Field Marshall's uniform that closely resembles the portrait on the 1 Baht note of the 1953-56ND issue. The back in the right recessed panel has a central vignette showing activities surrounding the major regional products of Thailand: rubber, lumber, fish, and rice. There exist proofs of unadopted lower denomination notes whose backs each separately depict one of these activities. Uncirculated.
This album was once owned by the President of the Currency Board and is believed to be unique. There is minor corner wear on the red album, and some minor foxing on the inner boards, but the essai proofs themselves are bright and problem free.
Lot # 298 - $10. Fr.95B.1863. No.5317. Choice Uncirculated. [Estimate $12,500 to $15,000] A beautiful, fresh note with exceptional colors and paper quality. The only quibble would be a tiny corner tip fold in the upper right that extends only 1mm into the note. Centered perfectly on the back and shifted slightly right on the front. Opportunities to acquire this type in very high grade are becoming few and far between.
Lot # 523 - California Ch.12454. Los Angeles. Pacific NB. $50. Fr.685. [Estimate $8500 to $9500] 1902 PB. No.7 B. 63 Choice Uncirculated. One of the 15 single-digit $50 1902PBs recorded in T&P which all grade about the same as this piece. They are very quick sellers, and supply never keeps up with demand. Great embossing and originality can be plainly seen through the PMG 63 EPQ holder.
Lot # 296 - $5. Fr.70. 1880. No.Z357532. Gem Uncirculated. [Estimate $8000 to $10,000] One of the finest known large brown seal Fr-70 Legals. The embossing and overall originality are clearly discernable through the CGC Gem65 holder. The PMG population report shows two 65s and one 66. A PMG63 sold last year for $9200. This beauty should fetch at least that amount.
Lot # 596 - Continental Currency Counterfeit Detector. Act of September 26, 1778. Pane of $5-$7-$8-$20-$40-$50-$60. [Estimate $4000 to $8000] Blue paper. Counterfeit detectors were printed using the actual plates and distributed to banks and merchants to prevent fraud. The blue color was intended to stop the notes from being filled in and circulated. Extremely rare in sheet form. Three small edge split on the left margin, otherwise Uncirculated.
Lot # 301 - $100. Fr.204. 1863. EF-AU. [Estimate $6000 to $8000] Lovely obverse proof of the $100 Two-year Interest Bearing Note with three coupons attached. Printed on heavy paper. Plate letter A. Dated December 1, 1963. Three small hole cancellations through each signature on the note, and two each through Chittenden's single signature on the coupons. The paper has all sharp corners with two vertical folds, one through the center and one along the border with the coupons. Only two issued examples are known, and albeit not nearly as rare, proofs are very scarce.. The plate letter D proof in VF condition sold earlier this year for $6900.
