<p>[QUOTE="MEC2, post: 2897951, member: 38692"]Today's new pickup is another obsolete $3, so you know I am a happy camper, this traveled note from Connecticut's City Bank of New Haven. A goodly amount of quality design here, the three dimensional intaglio, big Ben Franklin, large center vignette, allegorical bird feeder bottom right... some large three's and just a real nice overall design. Sure, I wish it was intact and better, but since I think there is exactly one of these in the Heritage archive, you take what you can get, when you get. This same bank I believe has some really nice later designs that are common with great engraving, remainders everywhere. This I stole and am glad I did...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]697488[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, remember the old stack?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]697490[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I had that stack almost scanned to completion, I scan oldest to newest so that Tombstone is now at the bottom, and well, I suddenly started winning auctions.
