<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1722126, member: 24274&quot;]Me, too! Looks great, imho. Much better than some of the previous years. I believe that the top two vignettes were printed from the original plates; the large one below looks like it was enlarged from a smaller version. And hey, Mike, check the information card that comes with it -- the top left IS an ABNC vignette! It appeared on two $10 Interest Bearing Notes from the 1860s, when the Treasury was still contracting with private bank note companies to print U.S. currency. I&#039;ll post an example (not in my personal collection, except in my dreams). ABNC ultimately had to turn over the plates for all the federal securities they printed -- it&#039;s pretty cool to know they&#039;re still in the BEP vault after 150 years. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
