I forwarded the photo to the Souvenir Card Journal editor, so it may end up in the next issue. It should be interesting to see what other SCCS...
Just spotted on eBay ... I guess we knew the day would come. I've seen cut-down cards graded and misrepresented, but this is the first slabbed...
And yet, that one clearly appears to be circulated. How does that square?
Nice note -- and check out them udders! The vignette on the left is "The Reapers" and it shows up regularly on ABN products -- stocks, bond,...
I just had to share this eBay find -- although it's the antithesis of a beautiful bond. I've seen some punch cancelled examples before but nothing...
Were any of these signed by Slania?
Ah, if only I'd been a forum member when this opportunity came up -- that book would be in my library right now.
Those progressive proofs are really interesting! And I wonder if that spider press is the one they usually bring to coin shows for demonstrations....
Found it. I had to scan this from a 2007 Stack's catalog, but I knew I'd seen it. The condor version appears on an American Bank Note printing...
Thanks for the correction. Not a bald eagle, but an eagle none-the-less. I know ABN did do a version of this engraving as a condor, but it's rare....
I found an interesting connection to a check I posted way back on page 2 of this thread. The spread eagle was used on many items produced by...
Yesterday a neat item arrived, so I thought I'd give this thread a bump and post it. This is a 1909 gallery pass to the House of Representatives,...
I'm loving these Michigan obsoletes! I collect Washtenaw County notes and have those two myself. Since Michigan didn't gain statehood until 1837,...
Time for some new scans! I don't have many Canadian items in my collection, simply because they don't seem to surface all that often -- or maybe...
It's a WF-7610. I can scan a bit over 12" x 17" which really opens up some options for images. It's also an ink jet printer and using the manual...
I recently bought a very large format Epson WorkForce scanner/printer for $150 (new). I recall working in a small print shop many moons ago when a...
Nice one, Darryl! Best $1 note yet, with the least intrusion from the cut cancel.
Harry, good to see you on this forum! You should scroll through the Souvenir cards thread, there is a lot of material there you'll be interested...
I'm going to add a couple cards that I don't think have been posted here yet. Back in 1996 the BEP issued a nice series called "The Era of Silver...
That's fantastic!!!! I can hardly wait to see what the finished plate looks like! I do hope you plan to make some prints from it.
