Steve I've heard that the back of that 1914 $10 is of my hometown Joliet, Illinois. Those smoke stacks look awfully familiar. Do you know if that is true?

"The back was designed by Clair Aubrey Huston; Farming, a scene in Manchester Township, York County, Pennsylvania, was engraved by Marcus W Baldwin; Industry, a mill in Joliet, Illinois, was engraved by HL Chorlton. The first day of issue was November 16, 1914."

Nice ones! Just a coincidence that they're all light green seals, or are you starting a new collection? |

And by the way, Stefan, where have you been? Fighting off illegal immigrants?

Hi coinfrog,  No, I always take what I can get. I life in Germany, no borders, no control. Everyone is welcome. The USA is old fashioned, To protect borders, passport controls, we no longer do this. We create the real Disneyland.   |

Disneyland indeed! Apparently some Brits disagree with you!
Anyway, you've got a nice start to an LGS collection - most impressive. Hope "amrys" is monitoring this.

Just found this at work, in very good condition for the age of it. Only one major fold down the middle and a few small folds on corners. Still crisp other than that. Seems to be a short run of stars 320,000 from my research. Hate that it is such a high face value. May end up spending if I have to but will try to hold on to it.  |

justind - this is a really tough note; I'd list it on ebay before spending it.  |
