Telegram of Resumption at New York Sub-Treasury

Légende

This image shows the telegram announcing the result of the First Day's 'Resumption' at the New York Sub-Treasury in 1879, which was January 2 as January 1 was a Sunday and no business was transacted. The Specie Payment Resumption Act was passed in 1874 and called for the redemption of U.S. paper currency, or greenbacks, in gold in the beginning of 1979-known as the resumption.
