[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 7887630, member: 92655"]Odd thing that Has just occurred to me and now I have to wonder what the intent was…. Not long ago [USER=74863]@Collecting Nut[/USER] posted two confederate notes where the leg on the number “9” was so exaggerated that it went a third of the way into the second note which he also had. It was a cool anomaly. Today I posted one of my confederate notes in a different thread and looking at the photo the exaggerated leg of the number 9 caught my attention. So I pulled my other notes and in fact they all have the same extra long leg on the number 9. So now I am wondering what the intent was. Was it simply a writing style of the period or was there some other significance to exaggerating the number like this? Perhaps an authentication method for the signer or something?
