The paper seams lighter white in color than I would have thought, and the black ink seams very dark. The colored threads are in the paper and the designs look good. I will try and post some scans later, But I wondered if andbody had any tell-tales to look for if it was fake. Thanks for any help.   03-24-2008, 06:07 PM   #2 (permalink) RickieB Expert Plunger Sniper     Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: United States Posts: 7,394 My Mood: Some of the paper used back then is very bright white. I have a few notes just as you describe in Gem 65 and 66. Beautiful deep blacks and brilliant white paper with a vivid light green seal. Keep that note!!

After I posted this I did some snooping on ebay and found another that Looks just like it. So I do feel better. I payed a whopping $12 for the note. I also picked up a 1928 lightly circulated $2 note for $2 at the same auction.   03-24-2008, 06:45 PM   #4 (permalink) RickieB Expert Plunger Sniper     Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: United States Posts: 7,394 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by vipergts2 I picked up a crisp 1934 ten dollar, light green seal, bill at an auction last weekend that is very crisp, but something bothers me.

Post some pics so I can see what FRB it is and the details of the note! $12 is a bargan if it's CHCU or Gem..

Also, take a look at the lower left serial ... is that in the signature?? If it is, it makes this awsome $12 note, even better!!! __________________ Please visit My coin and currency Website.
