Yes! Quite a reasonable price -- and I think the quick sale tells the tale. I'm hoping they didn't go to a chop shop.
If that was a full set, someone got the deal of the decade! It even included the bonus Czechoslovakian note. Wish they showed it in higher...
I just happened to see the note above is included in the latest Archives International Auction (Sale 40). I also notice that lot 188 is a group...
I was saddened to belatedly discover that long-time obsolete stock dealer Clinton Hollins had died back in January. I believe he was 80. I hadn't...
I just noticed that the BEP has posted the 2017 intaglio prints on their website. These go on sale April 4. The first one (U.S. Capitol) is...
Those are cool! I like the serial numbers on the one with the man and woman.
I'm giving this long-dormant thread a bump because, well, it's just a fun topic. Also I found a neat piece to add. This a little proof of a...
Big Discovery Day! Waaaay back on page one of this thread, I posted four vignette proofs from the Excelsior Bank Note Company. This company,...

ABNC produced dozens of strikingly beautiful and colorful notes for Costa Rica in the 1890s and early 1900s. This 20 colones note from the 1901...
This depiction of Mercury sitting atop a dynamo is the central vignette on a 1911 20 boliviano note, as well as the back of a 1 colon Costa Rican...
The scanner and I spent some quality time this weekend! I started looking into the connections between foreign currency and the vignettes on my...
Nice looking set! I have that same series, including the $500, but I still need the three smallest denominations. Mine will remain in their album,...
I was thinking maybe Boston, but it could also be an invented scene. Thanks for pointing out the round building to the left -- that might be a...
Great story, Harry!
I picked up a bunch of new vignettes recently and thought I'd share a couple "water scenes." Lots going on in both of these. I really like the...
I found a couple more stock/currency matches among my mining certificates. Both notes are from Mexico's State Bank of Chihuahua. [ATTACH][ATTACH]...
Correct -- I wasn't very specific. Usually a check itself is cancelled by punch holes or other means, not the printed revenue.
I'm going to start checking world paper money more closely for matches like this. Great stuff! This one arrived yesterday. I picked it up...
It seems odd that they would cancel the 2 cent blue stamped revenue, since you can't really remove/reuse it. Is this unusual? I don't recall...
Separate names with a comma.
