<p>[QUOTE="Bookcollector, post: 3166165, member: 97563"]I found this unusual book filled with illustrations at the Goodwill. It was $5. I did some researching and realized it’s a book of currency and postage stamp vignettes. Every page is filled with a vignette including what appears to be the same one of George Washington’s portrait on the $1 bill. Someone wrote the date 1865 in the book and the name “Burt” is written on several pages; it’s in really good condition. I was told this is an American Bank Note presentation book (it says that on the spine..). Joseph Lesley’s name is on the front of the leather. I counted over 71 vignettes. I’m not sure if he made this book or if it was presented to him.</p><p>Does anyone know any more info on this/its rarity, how much this is really worth? I’d post photos of it but I’m not sure how, as it just says to enter a link? Oh, and in regards to Pawn Stars, I had the book listed for sale on an ecommerce community when one of the show’s producers emailed me wanting to know more info on the book, as they’re interested in having it in the show. That’s when I figured I should do more research on this $5 book, but I couldn’t find the best info—the only similar items I’ve found were pages of vignettes for sale...never a book filled with them.</p><p>Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
