<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 3258262, member: 38692&quot;]MK - not a star note, stars were incorporated in the serial number display for a great many large size notes early on, they are all over them. Replacement stars came later to large size notes, 1910 was the first year but they&nbsp; appeared on older series notes that printed past the series date, so like the 1899 Black Eagle has stars starting with FR229 Vernon McClung...</p><p><br /></p><p>And God yes, coins were real money back then, paper was suspect as hell, after all, it&#039;s just paper...</p><p><br /></p><p>Today&#039;s new pickup is this obsolete $10 from the Bank of Augusta in Georgia. A slightly more interesting layout, it&#039;s these obsolete notes from this banking era of bank closures, frauds, and counterfeits that made coins so much more desirable than paper money, and why often old notes get stamped at redemption stating they were paid at less than face ... I think the blue stamp here is a redemption stamp but I cannot read it... </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]856556[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
