<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2971947, member: 24274&quot;]Almost forgot this one. This is an 1848 promissory note from Boston. At first glance it seemed like nothing particularly special. Then I looked closely at the ornamental bar on the left. The eagle in the oval looked familiar. Then I realized it was actually a coin! It&#039;s the back side of a 2-1/2 dollar gold piece, but somehow in the process of creating an engraved image, it got stretched and reversed. Using Photoshop I&#039;ve flipped it and squashed it to show the coin&#039;s original orientation.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]729276[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]729277[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]729278[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
