<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SINED, post: 382292, member: 14943&quot;]A quick search of the forums turned up zero results for Courtesy Autographs. For anyone unfamiliar with the term:</p><p><br /></p><p>Courtesy autographs are bills that carry a Secretary&#039;s and/or Treasurer&#039;s actual autograph along with their printed signature. See below for an example. In the 1950s and &#039;60s, the courtesy autograph niche took off among notaphilists (paper money collectors), although there are examples from the &#039;40s and even a handful from the &#039;30s. In fact, all Treasurers and Secretaries of the Treasury since the 1950s have autographed bills (some more than others). Courtesy autographs are now a small but respectable subsection of the currency collecting hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>The example attached is shamelessly lifted from a website. I have four examples, my digital camera simply won&#039;t do the notes justice. Autopen signatures are always suspect on these notes.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2003A single sig&nbsp; Anna Cabral - Treasuer</p><p><br /></p><p>1993 single sig Mary Ellen Withrow - Treasuer</p><p><br /></p><p>1995 single sig Robert Rubin - Sect of Treasury</p><p><br /></p><p>2001 double sig Rosario Marin - Treasurer</p><p>&nbsp;Paul O&#039;Neill&nbsp; - Sect of Treasury</p><p><br /></p><p>Marin sent a note in green sharpie that matches her bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Cabrals secretary sent a hand signed note confirming that The Treasuer signed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rubin for some reason enclosed his business card.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the other sigs I have the returned envelope.</p><p><br /></p><p>This website is a good source:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.theworldofstuff.com/currency/autographs.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.theworldofstuff.com/currency/autographs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.theworldofstuff.com/currency/autographs.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have similar items?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
