Well folks... we have a "1st Place Winner"...Congrats to Dready!!!! 100% Correct. The Source I used was this months Paper Money Values pg#51 Give a Big congrats to both Dready and Dursin...... Dursin did submit his answers first, however, they were not the correct answers. John, Send me your address!! Dursin..send me yours as well. When the notes arrive from the BEP they will be mailed out to you. Great job guy's. Regards, RickieB
Congrats on 1st Dready! :high5: Congrats to you as well Dursin! :high5: Thank you for the contest RickieB!:thumb:
Hmmmm....just out of curiousity, what makes one set of answers right and the other wrong? Also, I read the phrase "heretofore stamped signatures" to mean that "up until this point they were stamped", which seems to be a closer match to the 1915 $15 which was "hereforeto stamped", but the new discovery was hand signed. Anyway, congrats Dready!
To all four of you.... Thank you for playing...as in the past, you all know that I ask you to post images of the notes I send you. So please, when they arrive, please post images so that it will be seen as awarded! Thanks again... Dursin...your notes will come in waves from the BEP and may take longer to get to you. Noost, yours are being sent to me today and Daggarjohn, your book has been ordered and shipped today as well. Congrats again guy's. RickieB
WOW ! Thank you Rickie for a great contest. Congrats to Dursin, Daggarjon and The Noost. This was a tough contest and the knowledge of these guys really made me work. Again Thank You Rickie !!.........................................John
Guy's...I will be happy to scan the article and send it to you for review. Please let me know if you wuld like me to do this?? Thanks again... RickieB
John... I will package the note and ship tomorrow, pending your address getting to me tonight. Regards, RickieB
Might be interesting to see, but since this was a learning experience, I'm still curious what made my answers wrong other than that wasn't the note you were thinking of. Just wondering what I missed....
No problem Dursin.... I will be happy to send it to you. I actually copied the verbage directly from the Article. Regards, RickieB
Thanks! That still doesn't address what makes my answer wrong. Please don't misunderstand...not being a sore loser at all and am grateful to you for having the contest. I'm just curious where I messed up!
