I made two great pick-ups in the last couple weeks, both quite scarce cards from the mid-19th century. These are considered forerunner souvenir...
You finally made it! Welcome to Coin Talk's Paper Money forum. :) I think you'll find a lot of interesting threads here. I've listed a bunch of...
As previous posts have stated, these are called obsolete bank notes or broken bank note. Considering the imprints of bank note printers, I would...
Jay, please check your private messages regarding this set.
Too bad they can't release them to the collector market. :) I was surprised that he said that grinding was too laborious. They can't find cheap...
Just got my catalog yesterday. I believe this is listed as Lot 2546. Very small write-up and everything offered in one massive collection. Sad way...
:D That'll teach me! Never make assumptions when you can't read the language.
Finally found a usage on one of my earlier posts. This canal vignette appears on the reverse of a 1925, 50 Yuan from The Frontier Bank (P-S2574)....
As promised, here are a few more. Most of these are fairly common -- you can find the American Bank Note stock for $5 or less. The specimen from...
Whoops! I apologize jhinton! You were asking about "The Story the American Bank Note Company" not "The Engraver's Line." Both great books, btw,...

This thread snuck past me when I wasn't looking! Yes, I have a few to add. I've always like the one from Alden Type Setting. I also have a couple...
These are great -- thanks for scanning and posting! We were just discussing this vignette in another thread:...
One more! I just discovered this when I was paging through my copy of "The Story of the American Bank Note Company." I'm not sure if this was used...
Wow! I'd like to thumb through that book!
Ha! I didn't have to look very far. The same vignette shows up in an earlier post on this thread! No wonder she looked familiar. :)...
The Hagerstown Bank check was also produced by American Bank Note. You rarely find checks with three vignettes. I just learned recently that the...
Made a great find at an antique show a couple weeks ago. One dealer had a stack of old checks he was selling -- I went through them and found...
