Definitely post your bonds -- I'd love to see them. I'm hoping a few other members post some things, too. But it's spring break and not so many...
Good job, Steve! That is good price. :)
From a philosophical perspective, this is a very interesting debate. There's a quote by Schopenhauer that goes: "All truth passes through three...
I don't favor of cutting up these panels either, but I see the profit motive. Assuming a seller makes $1.50-$2 per vignette, on average, that...
Just noticed the seller had added a little disclaimer to a more recent listing:...
I've been tracking a number of lots posted recently by a California dealer. He's taken a set of American Bank Note Archive portfolios and artfully...
Chris, those are both excellent sites -- I use them, too. In fact I've bought a number of stocks and bonds from Clinton Hollis. He's been around...
And last -- great riverboat and harbor scenes and a few other non-maritime vignettes from these same panels, to whet your appetite for more. :)
More sailors...
You'll also find some terrific historical scenes, like the Civil War battle of the ironclads (the Monitor and the Merrimac), and whaling scenes,...
Sailors show up in many of these vignettes. One of the most famous is "The Hail" co-engraved by Alfred Jones and James Smillie. This is the one...

Okay Rhino89, I finally fired up my scanner and posted a new thread. I even included a Russian imperial bond of my own -- go ahead and post the...
The City of Providence bond has to be one of the most attractive in my collection. What a great collection of vignettes, ornaments and frames! If...
This batch is a hodge-podge of industries. Some of these were unissued (I don't discern much if I like the engraving). At one time I worked in a...
And here's some stock certificates. Wagner Palace Car has several nice vignettes. I'll try to scan that one a little closer next time.
Guess this is as good a time as any to start a thread on one of my favorite topics: stock and bond certificates. I personally collect intaglio...
The proof of the Mexican note isn't mine, I just include it for reference, but the panel is. This is a good example of why Commemorative Panels...
I picked up a scarce one the other day. This one was hand-pulled on a spider press at the 2011 FUN convention this past January. Only 100 cards...
I went to the library today and looked up the Wall Street Journal for Nov. 21, 1994 -- the day those stock shares for First Virginia Banks were...
