[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1490739, member: 37925"]Hey all, I was comparing my Woods White and Speelman White 1923 $1 notes. While comparing margins, I noticed that the size of the obverse designs were actually different! Please note that I am not referring to the margins. I couldn't understand why that would be. I made sure the notes were lined up correctly, and waves or bend in the paper did not affect my measurements. After checking several times, I am convinced that they are two different sizes. I then thought perhaps one of the notes shrunk more than the other. But then checking the reverse of the notes, they were identical. Do you suppose they could have remade the entire engraving plate to accommodate the new signatures?
