"Albert A. Grinnell. formed a truly immense collection of paper money. He seems to have been particularly active from about 1911 through the Depression years of the 1930s, when with virtually no competition he acquired many National Bank notes and, with only a few other collectors in the field, bought many Legal Tender and Coin notes, Silver Certificates, and other items. The main paper money collection was consigned to Barney Bluestone, a Syracuse, NY, dealer. Sold in a series of seven sales from 1944 through 1946, the Grinnell Collection auctions attracted only about a half dozen active bidders at each event. William Donlon later recalled that the only buyers on hand were F. C. C. Boyd, Harley Freeman, James Wade, Richard Safflin, and Herman K. Crofoot, in addition to Donlon himself. Of course, these names were in themselves a formidable line-up. The Grinnell Collection has achieved legendary status among modern scholars and. its status in history is certainly justified.
