<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 3507740, member: 18320&quot;]The most interesting thing about this note (for me) is the Peru 4 Centavo stamp on the reverse. Is it a Revenue stamp, or simply a Postage stamp gone astray?</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s the question of condition...and why this note has been (apparently) carried for so long; folded &amp; unfolded countless times to the point of horizontal rupture and other imminent crease &amp; corner failures. It tells a story, if only it could talk. It was very important, to someone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on a quick reading of PMG Grading Scale, I&#039;ll risk an 8, but it might only be a 6...it is absolutely flaccid of course, and faded as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>All comments welcome...and thanks!&nbsp; wlw</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]930230[/ATTACH]</b></p><p><b>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]930231[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]930232[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]930233[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]930234[/ATTACH] </b></p><p>This summary from PMG website:</p><p><b>Face Color:</b> Black on gray underprint.</p><p><b>Face Type:</b> Steamship at lower left, arms between seated Liberty and Justice at</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; upper center, steam passenger train at lower right.</p><p><b>Back Color:</b> Orange-brown.</p><p><b>Printer:</b> HBNC (without imprint).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
