<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dansco_Dude, post: 25376665, member: 147679&quot;]Can you clarify what you mean? Everything I have is in my post.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I found these in an Arizona coin store when I made my <a href="https://coinweek.com/coin-road-trip-four-states-23-coins-shops/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/coin-road-trip-four-states-23-coins-shops/" rel="nofollow">coin road trip</a> earlier this year. The shop didn&#039;t know much about world currency and neither did I lol. But I have a few Dansco #7001 Currency albums and wanted to fill them out. So I did a bulk deal and the 12 1/2 cent note was included in them!</p><p><br /></p><p>A collector on another forum shared some insights about it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/2pDBTSq.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Most of your world notes aren&#039;t my forte but I looked at the few pieces that represent the U.S. and I found a little gem there. Your 12 1/2 cent &quot;private banknote&quot; is actually quite a rarity. It&#039;s a merchant scrip note engraved by Wm. Kneass (A US mint engraver), and one that I haven&#039;t seem before. It appears to be signed by a &quot;Richards&quot;. Despite the low grade and damage and fact that these are anything but popular and widely collected, I would offer you another 12 1/2 cent private banknote in much better condition along with $100. I (and perhaps a few others) collect Kneass engraved notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand that you may want to keep this interesting note as it is probably the best note presently in your collection. Despite it&#039;s damaged condition and few collectors, it&#039;s rare and significant.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I may make the deal... but it&#039;s cool to have a note engraved by the second Chief US Mint Engraver![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
