[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1666454, member: 37925"]Interesting. When I compared the reverse designs of both notes, they appeared to be the same size. So I can pretty much rule out shrinkage. As a side note, the overall size of the paper on the Speelman/White note is larger than the paper on the Woods/White note. I aligned the design on the left side, and you can see the difference on the right side. The obverse design on the Speelman note is smaller than the Woods note by about 2 to 3mm. I've added some lines at key points in the design to help bring out the size difference. The line on the left is aligned to the left-most edge of the borders on both notes. Then I simply copy/pasted that same line to different parts of the note. [IMG]http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/5329/shrunk.jpg[/IMG] I don't have any 1923 Legal Tender notes to compare it to. I've been looking to acquire one, and this might be a good reason to start seeking one out. Frankly, I'm not quite sure what to make of it.[/QUOTE]
