    You might want to read King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild. It pretty much covers the whole sordid situation and impact of Belgian colonial efforts.

    It's taken a couple of years but I am now one Colonial Note away from having a note from each of the original thirteen colonies. This my latest acquisition.

    Very nice note to add to your collection.
    I have A 15 shilling note from Pennsylvania and what I really like about the note is it printed on the reverse side to counterfeit is death. Does your note have that?

    Had to switch phones to get the photos.

    Interesting that notes from multiple states as well as Continentals were all printed by Hall and Sellers.

    I just added this to my suite of series 1922 gold certificates. I think it's kind of neat to be a low grade with a PPQ desination.

    I didn’t see it that’s why I asked. I wasn’t sure if all the colonies had that or not. As you can see on mine, it’s oblivious.

    PPQ is for premium paper quality. Even for a lower grade note is still has crispness and is unaltered. Very nice notes. :)

    Pretty decent margins for a PMG-20.

    Killer for the grade was the crease in the middle ?

    I think that’s what held it back from a higher grade myself. Those creases are really a grade factor.
