That's an absolutely beautiful banknote! Got a bigger scan, by any chance? Dave
I'm in! Dave
I'm quite interested and willing to do periodic presentations. Making me commit to a schedule is good :hammer: otherwise I might not get them done...
You did awfully good for a camera. A scanner will always give better results than a camera, for flat stuff, but as a second choice this is nice....

Oh man, that's amazing.... I love the detail you can see in that. Dave
They did, but only as overprints on the French stamps. So you'd find a Sower with "INDOCHINE" printed on it, for example. Dave
A couple recent pick ups for me... West African States (Senegal) [img] [img] Serbia [img] [img] Another West African States (Senegal)...
Collectors of US paper money (speaking from the perspective of being in the US) have the huge advantage of being able to pick up stuff from...
The sower issues are quite likely the longest-lasting definitive series of French postage. The first one, 10c red Semeuse Lignee, was issued in...

Pretty much any banknote paper will have those registration marks... Normally they're not on the actual note of course, but I don't see them as...
Thanks for the input, I'll take a look at eBid too! Dave
I'm not sure where Dave L gets his material, but I get most current/common Africa notes off eBay. Find a dealer that seems to carry a lot, and...
I'm curious as to whether anyone's used Delcampe.net (sort of a French eBay, from what I can tell) to purchase any banknotes? Specifically to buy...
Agree completely, Dave. I'm seeing this a lot with current African issues, but perhaps it's more global than that. Unfortunately the notes look...
Maybe I'm over-analyzing your question, but it is hard to answer as it stands. I agree, a beautifully engraved vignette is a wonderful thing, and...
Good memories, Billy. I'll tell you my start in collecting banknotes. When I was probably 14-ish (we're talking ~35 years ago) I found a corner of...
