That Central States card is just beautiful, Darryl. I need to add one of those to my collection! And the vignette collection is terrific, too. A...
Old perhaps, but still active! Thanks for adding a comment. And I can probably supply scans of most cards (including some forerunners) if there's...
Here's a little refresher for this thread, in honor of Memorial Day. This is B223, the 1997 souvenir card issued to participants in the BEP's...
Here's one more that was too obvious to post earlier. The upper right plate letter "A" was missing from the $20 note on this proof. The inspector...
Great topic! I had heard about the Bonus Army, but never had much understanding of it. Thanks for connecting the dots with a visual example!
Okay, here we go! Old Colony National Bank of Plymouth PA ch. 996 - Additional "OF" included under arched lettering Lancaster Co National Bank...
Very good! I was surprised anyone caught the double "OF" on the Old Colony proof. So the other two are where the fine lines come in. If you know...
As I continue to work on transcribing the Smithsonian certified proof collection, I occasionally come upon an error. I shared one with Peter...
I was probably a little optimistic about reaching the end of the Pennsylvania proofs. Boxes 17 and 18 have just been posted. And, again, here's a...
Here's one I fell into just now. :D [ATTACH]
Pennsylvania boxes 15 and 16 are now up for transcribing! These may be the last two for this state. Coming soon: Puerto Rico!

Getting back on topic ... I was surprised to learn the reason the new $20s are to be released in 2020 was to commemorate the centennial of women...
It's been too long since anything's been posted here, so how about ... a Grand Watermelon! I know the $100 was posted many pages back, but here's...
It amazes me that so few collectors seem interested in doing volunteer transcribing as the Smithsonian digitizes the BEP's certified proof...
Beautiful examples of Roman numeral counters!
Hi AJ - I'm not sure the best way to ask this so I guess I'll just say it. I know that many members of this forum are wondering if your dad is...
I just checked the Smithsonian's digital collection of certified proofs. Doesn't look like any large size were issued under that charter.
I have to agree with Steve on souvenir cards. These are printed by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing, sometimes from the very plates used to...
