Thanks for giving the thread a bump, James. I have very little Northern BNC material, but I'll keep you in mind. If you have any more background...
I posted something about this on a different forum several years ago. This might help:...
Here's one I have from 1924. [ATTACH]
I don't like when they do that either, but unless the paper is brittle it probably doesn't do too much harm. This kind of material was often...
Nice territorial! Well, the mine was in Arizona Territory, even if the company was in Los Angeles. I like those Western vignettes.
Just giving everyone a heads-up on the BEP's Intaglio Prints for 2020. I recently spoke with the BEP marketing manager who was working from home....
If you look closely at the Mt. Washington note, you'll notice the 3¢ stamp was removed from a "First Day of Issue" cover and attached to the bill,...
Interesting. Maybe the neighbor's brother's daughter's cat could forward a close-up photo of the fibers that you could post.
My focus is on the Intaglio Print Program, but I spoke with the BEP marketing manager a couple days ago and I think all the peripheral collector...

I would like to see more intaglio prints (souvenir cards) that include historic currency.
The medals typically bring $1 above bullion value, maybe a little more. Spot silver is around $17.50 per ounce. Sterling silver is 90% silver...
I'm going to guess this was intentional, to subtly differentiate the card in the book from the card in the set. This set was the brainchild of...
If you could post an example we might be able to offer more information. Also, just an FYI -- please turn off the Caps Lock when you type, if...
That's interesting! Is it bound into the book? Also, do you know whether the book has any information on the 1996 set of ANA cards?
I would agree with mpcusa. Not many of these ANA cards were printed. They show up on rare occasions on eBay. My suggestion is to set an eBay alert...
So many mythological figures in that one! Very interesting!
For adult newbies, I think large mail order/online dealers, like Littleton and The Coin Vault, can kill a budding interest. Those overhyped and...
