<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2154816, member: 24274&quot;]I recently bought a very large format Epson WorkForce scanner/printer for $150 (new). I recall working in a small print shop many moons ago when a scanner this size went for about $3000 and could only scan to about 600 dots per inch resolution. This one can go to 9600 dpi. As a trial run, I decided to scan some of my really large bonds, which until now I could only scan in pieces and stitch together using Photoshop. I much prefer this process of one quick scan!</p><p><br /></p><p>All of these bonds measure about 9&quot; x 15&quot;. In the 19th century, Philadelphia and Providence, RI both issued some particularly nice municipal bonds, often with a large number of vignettes and portraits. The Philly water bond was issued in 1866, the 6% loan in 1869. Obsolete banknote collectors will recognize some of these vignettes from earlier currency. The 1894 Providence bond also has a very attractive back, with elaborate lathework engravings. These were all printed by American Bank Note Co.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]414053[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414054[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414056[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
