<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harrync, post: 3166515, member: 58588&quot;]I think almostgem mistyped; you want to contact someone at the National Numismatic Collection at the Museum of American History - <a href="http://americanhistory.si.edu/national-numismatic-collection" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://americanhistory.si.edu/national-numismatic-collection" rel="nofollow">http://americanhistory.si.edu/national-numismatic-collection</a> - if you want more info. There are a few cointalk threads on security printer portraits and vignettes;</p><p>for example - </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/seg-presentation-vignette-prints-of-the-bureau-of-engraving-printing.176715/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/seg-presentation-vignette-prints-of-the-bureau-of-engraving-printing.176715/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/seg-presentation-vignette-prints-of-the-bureau-of-engraving-printing.176715/</a></p><p>The Bureau of Engraving and printing did presentation books, too.&nbsp; In fact, because the master dies were turned over to the BEP when they took over printing US currency and bonds from the private banknote companies, you can sometimes find the same vignette in a BEP presentation book and an ABNCo presentation book - the BEP just replaced the ABNCo logo with their own.</p><p>And I don&#039;t think you&#039;ll be able to contact the ABNCo - they have been out of business for years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
