Spitzbergen- Island Creek Notes

6 berichten • 95 keer bekeken
I was browsing the Numista catalog and found the Island Creek Stores notes listed under Norway/Spitzbergen shown with a reference to the SCWPM such as this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note223683.html

But, I can't find these notes in any of the three volumes of the SCWPM by Krause. There are no Norway notes listed as P#S41 through P#S45. Is this an error, or am I missing something?

I know that they are listed under Spitzbergen here:

But since they were issued in dollars, and not Rubles or Krone they are more likely from this Island Creek Coal Company in West Virginia, USA:

This suggests they were used to pay West Virginia, USA coal miners, see:

Does the catalog need correcting? Any further info on these notes would be appreciated. Thanks!
They are in Standard Catalog of World Paper Money. Specialized Issues

Thanks for your reply, but I have the 12th Edition of the SCWPM Specialized Issues, and they don't show under Norway (see photo). Are they found in a different edition? I know that some editions have omitted notes they previously carried.
I don't think they are listed in SCWPM, I don't find them in my catalogs. Probably the catalog numbers are copied from Colnect. Anyway as I said before this listings should be moved to Exonumia.
It was late and I only looked at the S prefix. In the 12th edition there is neither Spitzbergen, Svalbard or anything similar.
On PMG there are only X references for Spitzbergen.
No need to apologize, we're all here to help each other and make a better catalog. You're right PMG has the other Spitzbergen notes but not the issues from Island Creek Stores. Unless I can find a different catalog reference, I would agree they probably belong in Exonumia/Trade Vouchers for the U.S. I have a complete set, including a couple of the notes not currently listed on Numista, so I want to put them in the right place.
