[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1824213, member: 37925"]Doesn't look like it. A note with the Speelman/White signature combination (or Elliot/White) is considered a mule because it uses a back plate from the Burke era (Parker/Burke or Teehee/Burke). Here is an image for your comparison. The note on the left is an Fr. 57, with the Teehee/Burke signature combination. Note that the back plate number is in the 9 o'clock position. The note on the right is an Fr. 60, with the Speelman/White signature combination. The back plate number is in the 4 o'clock position. [ATTACH=full]299929[/ATTACH] So therefore a mule is a note with a Speelman/White or Elliot/White signature combination on the face, but uses a Burke back plate, which can be identified by the position of the back plate number at the 9 o'clock position. Although your image is not super clear, it does look like it has the proper White back plate, and would not be a mule. Sorry.[/QUOTE]
