As I looked closely at this one, I realized that it's actually a mini bond, payable one year after issued with 2.5 percent interest. I've seen...
Meanwhile, back at the original topic … It's unfortunately that there are so few women on this forum, who I think probably take this topic more...
I've got that Lazy 5! Or at least something very similar. I bought both proofs some years ago in an auction where nobody recognized what they...
Very interesting: the vignette on that check appears to be a litho that was directly "borrowed" from the NBN engraving! But they did an excellent job.
Nice additions! And that large "2" at the top of your post is also a good example of a cameo/medallion engraving -- you can see the parallel lines...
I have an interesting update on this scanning project! Apparently, the Smithsonian is enlisting the help of collectors and other volunteers to...
I think you're referring to the locomotive vignette on the B&O stock. I first thought it was the "Tom Thumb", too, and called it that for years....

I recently posted this 1846 stock certificate of the Baltimore & Ohio RR in the stocks and bonds thread. But I also have a question that I'm...
Sometimes odd denomination notes were intended to pay for services or products without the need for change -- such as a train ticket -- or as...
I don't use Track and Price, but I'd be surprised if they covered obsoletes. I can tell you that the Society of Paper Money Collectors is planning...
Okay, last batch for a bit -- all railroads this time. Let's start with a couple more ancient ones. Ohio was one of the key central states for...
Tonight I'll post another new addition -- not my oldest stock certificate, but now my oldest railroad stock. The Baltimore & Ohio was one of the...
And today's color is ... orange! A big shipment of stocks arrived in the mail yesterday and I didn't realize until I saw them all together that...
Just found the hammer man on an ABNC-printed stock certificate. [IMG]
I don't think he does -- he's more of a collector/dealer. I'll PM you his information.
Tonight, something our New York members will appreciate. This is the card I mentioned above. SCCS catalog # F1990F -- the Lake George engravers...
