<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2041657, member: 24274&quot;]I picked up a very nice (and very cheap) bond that arrived today, so I scanned a few images. These West Shore RR bonds have always amused me with their principal due dates: Jan. 1, 2361! That&#039;s right, these were 375 YEAR BONDS. They were essentially junk bonds of the day and to coax buyers, the company spared no expense on the design and printing -- and they printed a whole bunch. The landscape vignette is gorgeous, the lettering is striking and even the coupons are tiny works of art. West Shore also put out a horizontal bond, but I think this one is even more ornate. What intrigued me most is stunning space filler on the back, in an area typically left blank. American Bank Note did a great job on this one! Now if only I had a bigger scanner.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]372788[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372792[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
