I'm sure there is, I'm planning g on purchasing similar but don't know anything about caring for such a historical document.
These are not mine, lol I wish, but someone has some dated in the same time period that I can purchase very cheap,. Now I need to learn how to put them in glass and if there is any special way of doing so.
My uncle has two promissory notes one from 1778 ,and one from 1781 , 1778 is made out for $50, and 1781 is made for $500 ,and he's going to let me have them for $20 a piece if I can take care of them.
The first two are continental currency, which to my understanding is frequently faked, so if you're going to spend any significant money on them I would do some learning on how to know the fakes. The third looks like an Indian bond. You would take care of them like any other banknote - put them in a mylar holder and keep them in a safe, dry, dark place.
There are a couple reasons you might not put them under glass. Firstly is that light will affect the ink and paper of a banknote over time, and do damage to it. Secondly is that a banknote is typically not completely flat to begin with, and the glass will flatten it. Banknote paper may have a weave to it, the printing will leave recessed and raised areas, etc. The existence of this three-dimensionality to a banknote is a sign that the note hasn't been cleaned and pressed flat. On the other side of the equation, if it's a cheap common banknote, that you're willing to acknowledge it just being used as a decorator item in the house, then go for it.
Nope these are legit I just don't want to get them if I can you know take care of him the right way he's got him in like tubes , and they're airtight tubes.
@Barbermania You could go with a glass display but not a flat frame. You might try the shadow box where nothing would press against it, and display in a place that has no direct sunlight. Or you might find an acrylic holder that is looser than the note so as not to flatten the note. But Dave M is correct as stated above.
