<p>[QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 1440474, member: 24274"]Hi Howard -- I have several of these myself. They are printed from the original dies on vellum and there's an earlier thread about them here: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t165585/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t165585/">http://www.cointalk.com/t165585/</a> There's info on one of the eagles that appears on federal currency. Other vignettes appear on numerous obsolete notes, stocks and bonds.

You did GREAT on your purchase price! The writing you scanned -- can you tell if this was penciled in later or was it actually printed from the engraved plate?
