The BEP area is like a candy store! I spent much of the day there, watching Mike Beck pull demo proofs and ogling the specimens and proofs in all...
[ATTACH] WOOHOOOO! Great first day at FUN! I won the #1 pulled proof PPIE Award certificate and snagged a pulled proof of the eagle card. Mike...
When I get back to my scanner I'll post a full page of bond coupons, front and back.
Nice additions! I just picked up that "Engineering and Construction" card myself. Thanks for sharing all these!
What you've got here is a bearer bond coupon, #56 out of the sheet, to be exact. Bonds usually paid interest quarterly ($25 in this case), so four...
According to "The Engraver's Line" Helm worked for the BEP beginning in 1885, then started his own company in 1894. So whatever notes he engraved...
Congratulations on your first piece of currency! I've got that note, too -- it's a nice one. You'll find a lot of good info on this forum; ask a...

Just got word that Ken Barr will be at FUN and there will also be a club table for the Souvenir Card Collector Society -- #222. Be sure to drop by...
I believe Ken's going to be at FUN this year. He was part of the BEP conference calls, giving input on the 2015 intaglio print program. I guess I...
You bet -- I'll be there! Can't miss the BEP rollout of their intaglio prints this year. :-) I know there are at least a couple other members...
I've got to get that card, it's a beauty. "The Reapers" is one of the few vignettes that was engraved in a large and a small version. It would be...
Cool bit of history! It's the stuff everyone throws away that becomes the hardest to find.
Back on page 23 of this thread I posted some images from an Engraver's Union convention booklet. These usually featured some impressive souvenir...
WHOA, slow down podnah! I enjoy looking at these but let's not drown the thread in unnecessary text. It's easy enough to scroll through eBay, I'd...
I think the actual point of the thread was to post non-federal fractionals. There are lots of small change obsolete notes out there, Depression...
