<p>[QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 2501969, member: 24274"]Here's another check I picked up. Federal checks are harder to find and definitely more pricey. This one was printed by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing. The Farragut portrait also appears on the $100 1890 (baby watermelon) Treasury Note. I thought it was interesting to see all the plate printer's initials on the left side of the check stub. That's an indication of how many press runs this plate had -- quite a number! The watermark for the U.S. Treasury Dept. is also very apparent in the paper.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]530893[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
