I'm sorry to share that Hugh Shull has passed away. He was 74. Arrangements are pending. His burial will be in Lexington, SC.
In addition to being one of the most knowledgeable experts in the field of Southern Currency, Hugh was a true gentleman and a friend to many on these boards. His sales catalogs were the de facto value guides for obsolete currency for a number of years, and many of us hold them in our reference libraries to this day.
Hugh was Life Member #6 of the SPMC. He has been co-author, advisor or contributor to many books on obsolete and confederate currency, including Grover Criswell's Confederate Paper Money published in 1996. He wrote A Guide Book of Southern States Currency; History, Rarity and Values in 2007. He was named a Numismatic Ambassador by Krause Publications in 1992.
I will miss spending time with him at shows and hearing his stories of significant notes and collections. Hugh was always open to sharing his knowledge. His passing is a significant loss for our hobby.
