<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ronterry, post: 1360796, member: 28569&quot;]Very hard to get that bleach funk out! Looks like he bleached the freaking color right out of back as well! I try to tell folks to watch out for dem 1914&#039;s, cause they are easily bleached white. Other signs to look for; leaching of the green ink on the back! I&#039;ve even seen gold certs with massive leaching!</p><p>I own a horribly bleached 1914 $20 as well kookoo, so your not alone, in fact if anyone on this board has a half worthy collection of bank notes well have a few of them bleached! It&#039;s one of the first things I check when I receive a note in the mail <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>btw: thanks for the info and name kookoo. I have a couple of websites so I might build a page so we can compile a database of known bank note processors so people can double check names before bidding. </p><p>I don&#039;t want to be that guy that gets burn on huge investment notes, like a $5,000 1886 Silver Cert! I know slabbed notes are the way to go, but a lot of us like to take the risk and the gains that come with raw notes and if a simple list of names can minimize that risk than what&#039;s to lose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
