The first two boxes of Ohio notes have been put out for transcription. These early boxes are often the most interesting -- I see a lot of first...
Krispy, here's a screen shot I took just now while I was transcribing. Thought you might appreciate it. :D [ATTACH]
Just a reminder -- new boxes regularly come and go for this project and are completed fairly quickly. The Smithsonian just put up boxes 22 and 23...
Nice Russian note! What does the flip side look like? I'd be interested in scans of any currency printed by American Bank Note. Great haul!
I don't think the member who posted about the $1 million bill is still on the forum. But I suspect what he misinterpreted was a piece of an...
Les has seen this one already, but I'll share my latest eBay find here. The Shirley Temple look-alike is very cute. [ATTACH]
His young son, AJ, posts occasionally to let us know how he's doing. The last news was before Christmas on this thread:...

Guess I'll bump this old thread with a new acquisition. Got a nice price on this check from the Union Banking Co. in Philadelphia. I particularly...
Those are fantastic! I've never seen a European-issued Confederate bond before -- very educational. And I think the 1780 Massachussetts bond is...
Lots of rabbit holes indeed! I would guess the reason this was filled in was that issued notes from this bank tend to hold more collector value...
I recently checked Terry Cox's database of railroad stocks and bonds and discovered he has started up a new project. Not many people know about...
This is wonderful note! This particular bank seemed to specialize in odd denominations. They also issued $6, $7 and $8 notes. However, I have only...
Skippy, I posted something on this very vignette a few years ago. It was engraved by Stephen Schoff and his great-grandson (an artist back East)...
I think you're missing the error -- take a closer look at the scan. Both signatures are doubled up and they are identical. At the larger banks,...
You never know what may pop up unannounced in an auction. I was perusing an online catalog last week for a non-numismatic auction. Toward the end...
We could argue this all day, I suppose, but you're right -- the only sure way would be to compare the two sheets in hand.
Separate names with a comma.
