I also have that Collins certificate, Earl, but I didn't realize it had an aerospace connection. Thanks for the background info! I just got back...
Congratulations Darryl! That's a fine looking 50¢ note. I recall the seed of this collection and it's really nice to see it grow. If you're going...
Yes, I think so. It would be nice to see a larger image.
Back on post #8 of this thread I promised to post a close-up, but I didn't actually pick-up that souvenir card until recently. Here is the...
While I am not really an active MPC collector, I would have loved to see that presentation. Some newer members may not have seen this thread:...
I'm nearly certain I found a match to the Sherman portrait proof posted earlier. This is an 1872 taxpaid revenue stamp for 50 cigars (the stamp...
Bump! Here's a card you don't often see and could easily be mistaken for a stock certificate. It was produced by the British American Bank Note...
Some time in the late 2000s a group of like-minded collectors on this forum coalesced to form what they called the Security Engraving Group....

Here's one I picked up recently because I hadn't seen any vignettes by the St. Louis Bank Note Co. (actually a subsidiary of Western Bank Note)....
I believe the proof you saw is mentioned in post #22 of this thread:...
Indeed there are! I saw a photo of a butterfly fold error recently. In time, more of these will start to show up.
You'll want to start a new thread for that.
For those whose eyes are bigger than their pocketbooks, you might enjoy scrolling through all the Bureau issued souvenir cards on the SCCS...
Really interesting information! Here is an unissued example from 1852 that was intended, I think, specifically for the New York area. I think...
Chris just hasn't been very active, of late -- the result of a very busy work schedule, I think. And I haven't been all that active here myself,...
In honor of the upcoming lunar new year, I thought I'd give this thread a bump. Maybe someone has some new match-ups for the Chinese vignettes...
Quick work and excellent information! I checked the Heritage site; the image I posted doesn't do it justice. Interesting that it was given the...
