<p>[QUOTE="MEC2, post: 2003784, member: 38692"]Well, since you got gypped yesterday, I feel I should make it up to you with two notes... again from the Cottonelle series as Funkee coined, two more State of Georgia notes from 1864. I like the engraving on the five's roman numeral, just looks zazzy. Again, the stamp has the same patina colorization, so something in the ink has that almost verdigris look. Similar thing happened on the bronzing of US fractional currency, not sure if they have similar materials in the stamp. Earlier ones were just black ink or red ink, not sure if they changed it as a counterfeit measure or what...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Obsoletes/GeorgiaFive1864.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Obsoletes/GeorgiaTwenty1864.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
