    So I have had this scrap book for years, never knew about coin talk until a couple months ago. This was inherited by my beloved father, whom passed away in 2005. In the scrap book was his trips and cool things he had attended, accomplished etc. As I write this it hurts because I feel i'm trapped in the wrong generation because one day I want to be like him. As he traveled the country he kept souvenirs so there are WWII notes, pre 30s 1,5 bills and a special one dollar note from the Bank of Augusta. It has never been issued to anyone. Anyways, I digress. Have you all ever seen such a cool specimen? Not really into currency but these mean alot to me. IMG_7466.jpg IMG_7467 (1).jpg

    Unissued notes like this are called “Remainders”. I’m not entirely convinced that it’s genuine. The color is off and the vignettes are not well defined. Here is one to compare it with.

    That note looks phony baloney from here. Paper wrong tone, muddled engraving. It can be had readily on eBay, not a rare note, and in proper condition, like Steve's nice example is. This is my real remainder below. I like a nice issued note better...

    No the note didn't come from eBay, this was like a purchase usually from an estate sale or smth in the 1970's

    I don’t believe MEC2 was saying you bought it on eBay....he said it’s always available on the venue, a popular reproduction.

    How are the notes attached to the scrapbook paper?

    Because this was his scrapbook? What are you trying to get at

    I just wanted to show the community a nice note. I'm not here to make some crazy profits on coins and money. It's a passion and hobby

    It is encased inside some sort of plastic and it's been in there for approx 30+ years

    "It is encased inside some sort of plastic and it's been in there for approx 30+ years"

    I've seen notes attached w/ glue directly to a scrapbook page which negatively impacts the value of the notes.

    But it's not glue on the money and I don't intend to take it out. I still don't know what you're trying to get at

    His initial question was HOW. You seem to be offended because you think he asked WHY. He was never trying to get at anything other than asking whether it was affixed to the paper.

    This note is a reproduction made by the Historical Products Company. As Steve and MEC noted the paper is wrong for a genuine note. HPC has been selling these notes since the early 1960s. Those sold after 1973 have the word COPY on them. Those sold before then do not.

    The 1872 date is also not correct. Genuine notes were not issued after the Civil War.

    Sometimes bills like these were put in cereal boxes in the 50s.

    Good to learn it's not glued to the paper.

    Right. I used to collect Confederate money from the Quaker Oats containers.
    Later, they'd package a deed for one square inch of land in Alaska in each container.
