[QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 1729055, member: 24274"]The latest issue of the Souvenir Card Journal arrived yesterday, with an added bonus: the annual souvenir card! These limited edition, intaglio cards are given each year only to members of the Souvenir Card Collectors Society. There are currently less than 400 members, making the cards quite scarce and and a strong incentive to stay up to date on the $25 annual dues. I don't have details on all the engravings, but the one to the left is titled "The Standard Bearer," engraved by George Baldwin for Continental Bank Note in the 1860s. It appears on the 1863 and '64 $500 Compound Interest Treasury Notes, which are so rare, I could only find an example of a proof. If you're interested in joining the SCCS, send your dues check to our president/treasurer: William Kriebel, 1923 Manning St., Philadelphia, PA 19103. Frequently the threads I post on this forum end up as articles in the journal.[/QUOTE]
