<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1906467, member: 24274&quot;]It&#039;s a good day when I pick up an item that combines my collections. One of my esoteric pursuits is early Bureau-engraved taxpaid stamps, some of which share portraits and vignettes with U.S. currency. You can see many of these here:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/security-engravers-presentation-bep-taxpaids-and-special-tax-stamps.143792/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/security-engravers-presentation-bep-taxpaids-and-special-tax-stamps.143792/">http://www.cointalk.com/threads/security-engravers-presentation-bep-taxpaids-and-special-tax-stamps.143792/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And, illustrated by the thread you&#039;re reading, I also collect BEP and bank note proofs, when I can find them. One Bureau vignette I always wondered about was one simply titled &quot;Fruit.&quot; Well, yesterday I finally received a taxpaid stamp it was used on -- a scarce one I&#039;d never seen before. A pricey addition, but it made my day. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
