The large size notes produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) in the late 1800s exemplified excellence in engraving. This is especially demonstrated in the Silver Certificates produced from 1878 to 1899 which many have deemed the most beautiful notes produced by the BEP. This presentation 

traces the historical background of these notes and their evolution. We take a look at the individual designs and the engravers that created them. There will be a short discussion on the value of these notes. Finally, I'll talk about my collection and what's next on my radar.

Lucia Carbone received a PhD degree in Classical Studies at Columbia University in 2016. Later that year, she joined the American Numismatic Society, where she currently is the Assistant Curator of Roman Coins. Her first monograph, published in 2020, is entitled The Hidden Power. Late cistophoric production and the organization of the Provincia Asia (128-89 BC), deals with impact of Roman dominion on the pre-existing monetary system of the Province of Asia (modern Turkey). Her second book, Local Coinage in a Roman World: the R. B. Witschonke Collection, is due to appear by the end of 2023 and it presents a reasoned catalogue of an important collection bequeathed to the American Numismatic Society in 2015, which offers great insight into the complexities of Roman monetary and economic policy in the Mediterranean from the 2nd century BCE on. She has published on a variety of topics ranging from the difference between Roman and Greek ideas of sovereignty in the Provincia Asia (modern Turkey) and on Roman provincial control over the issue of silver civic coinage in Asia in the 1st century BC, the introduction of Roman currencies in the East, change of weight standards under Mark Antony and Iberian lead tokens.
