<p>[QUOTE="Honolulu Dick, post: 983252, member: 24745"]Can't help you with grade and value as I'm a sucker for all series of our gorgeous military script. It's like with women, I love them all and tend to overvalue them. </p><p><br /></p><p>From the images shown, it appears as though this script note was ridden hard and put away wet --- probably all the way from Korea, where it was originally issued. Love the minuteman, standing in the lower left corner. Even though Lady Liberty shows evidence of hard use, this is the type of militaria I hang onto as it documents a generally unknown portion of our military history. To a currency collector, it may have little value. To a military collector, this is a little gem.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, replicas [copies] of the Series 651 are being offered on sleazbay. It's an expensive proposition [plates and machinery?] to go through the motions of printing replicas. Indicates that someone believes military script is in demand and/or has collector value. Just a thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
