<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1116630, member: 19065"]Are the images above photos or scans? They seem somewhat soft in focus and contrasty making it hard to run filters and play with color levels in Photoshop in order to read that stamp on the back. Maybe a high res scan of the stamp area only will be of some use to those of us who can play around with Photoshop to coax some more details out of the stamp. UV light (black light) may be of some use but it may still be very hard to read against that security pattern printed on the note. Also, try getting a photo of the note back lit. Place the note on a thin piece of paper laid over a sheet of plexi or glass (to diffuse intense light). Then direct lamp light from behind the glass and try to get a detailed photo of the area of the stamp. If you can post some more images like this maybe we can collectively come up with some more details after manipulating the image a little more. I love working on a mystery, it lends more review and scrutiny to the history of the note and may even uncover more paths to learn about the life of notes... the stamp becomes almost like a WG tracking project predecessor. </p><p><br /></p><p>Congrats on the new note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
