    Nice notes!! I don't know much about MPC and had a couple of simple questions...

    1. What years was series 641 issued?
    2. Who's the blonde on the 5¢-50¢ notes?

    Okay, I know nothing about currency and even less about MPC's (had to look it up when you started posting), but that is a great looking registry set.

    The Series 641 was issued on August 31, 1965 and withdrawn on
    October 21, 1968 and was used exclusively in Vietnam

    The idea behind it was to thwart the black market, If you accepted
    It and they changed to another series you were out of luck!! It
    Became worthless!!

    I will research the blond, Sometimes they do use non fictional
    People :)

    So are you suggesting she may be a bleached blonde??? :whistle:

    Interesting...I would hate to win a big poker game and find they switched the series the next day. :crying:

    I thought the blonde was a movie actress...she kinda looked familiar, but I'm not sure.

    Good news Chris!! I found out the info on the Series 661 $1, It was
    Taken from the vignette of Mount Rainier from the 3 Cent denomination
    of the 1934 National Parks commemorative postage stamp issue.

    The same vignette was also used earlier on a essay fo a 20 Cent
    Definitive postage stamp!

    Its funny because looking at both of them the Mpc and the postage
    Stamp the larger tree in center is on the left and on the stamp its
    On the right and the other trees are a little different as well, Could
    Be a reverse image or a close up on the stamp!

    The Engraver was Arthur Wasserbach

    I'm suprised that you hadn't done that before.
    You still havn't set up the complete set yet. Is there a reason for that?

    In one or two notes of being completed, There the tuff ones!!

    I was poking around and it looks like the blonde is just a fictionalized representation of American womanhood...as near as I can tell.

    ? lol


    And MPC it's easy to add those notes to a complete set with the ones you already have in there. I'm just wondering how high you'd rank in that one :D

    That's awesome! Just as I suspected. That peak and the lake looked so familiar and you confirmed it! Very cool indeed. Now I wonder if the postage stamp engraver worked for or the vignette was owned by the same company/entity that printed that series of MPCs.

    I actually have a deal in the works for Series 692 $5 in 64 or 65 My choosing!
    Same price kind of contemplating that one, Though the 65 is being offered
    Iam leaning toward the 64, 65,s sometimes have alot of centering issues!

    On the Series 541 $10 i would give yours based on the pick probably a low
    VF probably a 20 i have a 25 looks a bit better.


    On your Series 521 $5 i have a super nice XF 45 (see pic below)
