<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 961416, member: 24274&quot;]Seems like there&#039;s a lot of interest in battleships, so I thought I&#039;d post another card from my collection. I don&#039;t really get the relationship is between the note and the ship vignette, maybe it&#039;s got more to do with the show venue.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the info card that came in the envelope:</p><p>&quot;...The series 1890 $20 Treasury (or Coin) Note, (Miscellaneous die #3682) was engraved by George U. Rose, Jr., Edward M. Hall, David M. Cooper, William A. Copenhaver, Edward E. Myers and William H. Dougal and completed in 1890...</p><p><br /></p><p>...The engraving of the U.S. Navy battleship California (BB-44), (Miscellaneous die #10968) is based on a 1921 photograph of the California during acceptance trials. the engraving was used by the U.S. Navy for Honorable discharge certificates.The engraving was completed in 1924 by Edward J. Hein, who worked at the Bureau from 1918 until 1932.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Incidentally, there&#039;s another, much older battleship card that I posted info about several months back -- <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t87239-2/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t87239-2/">http://www.cointalk.com/t87239-2/</a>&nbsp; On at least one other early card the same vignette masqueraded as the USS California.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
