[QUOTE="alurid, post: 24803156, member: 81991"]I think having a stamp on the face of the note is very distracting and a bit crass. I have not seen a one that I would like to own personally. I think the purpose of the cancellation was to show that these bills where out in circulation on the first day of issue. Like a First Day Cover. Not sure why anyone thought that was an important thing to do. Brand new bill design, first day of issue, Cancelled by the government agency. They seem to be mostly a novelty now, after all they have been damaged by the ink being put on them. I am quite sure that the two star notes I posted would be worth more to most collectors without the ink on them. I would liked to think that the person who applied the cancellation ink hesitated for just a second before he did it.[/QUOTE]
