<p>[QUOTE="Pyrbob, post: 1049413, member: 17044"]For some reason this note has been altered at the date. The Yorktowne notes have a date of 11th of April. This note looks like the date was erased or covered over and then Sept 26th was printed. The area around the date looks darker from the alteration. From what I have read in Newman's book the continental currency notes were all equally redeamable reguardless of the date. So there was no reason the change the date back then. Yorktowne notes are scarce so why would someone alter the date hurting the value of the note while changing it to the date of a more common note? I wish you lived closer to me so I could see the note in hand. Could you give a close up image of the date area?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
