I don't, but the Oxford English Dictionary does, with the earliest usage
they document coming from 1867.
Definition 1.b.:
To convert (an asset, debt, etc.) into money, to realize the value of (an
asset, debt, etc.) as currency; spec. to convert (government debt) to a
more liquid form, as by redeeming Treasury bills or replacing bonds with
bills. Also: to assess in terms of monetary value.
