<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1929797, member: 24274&quot;]The ABNC paper prints measure 8.5 x 4.25”. On their reverse, each has “COPY / An authentic reproduction from the original plates (1976)” -- except the Liberty Bank note, which says 1973. (This first note represents the “trial run,” printed before the entire series was produced.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Each pair of bank notes came with an attractive 20-page booklet, which provides historical details about the bank, the scenes depicted, and often about the engravings. The content is well written and researched, with illustrations (not intaglio) and a bibliography. These booklets have ABNC’s signature eagle on the cover, which <i>is</i> intaglio, each printed in a different color—red, brown, green, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>An individual registration certificate accompanied each presentation case, printed in intaglio (blue) and personalized with the buyer’s name as the registered owner. In keeping with International Silver’s tradition with their silverware sets, the reverse (also intaglio) offered the owner a Title Transfer form should he chose to sell. The new owner could then mail in the form and re-register ownership. Though the booklets tend to stick with these sets, often the ownership certificates have disappeared. (I checked with Syratech, Inc., which acquired International Silver in 1986, but they did not retain the registry archives.) ...
