Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 10:00 am Do you think the odd cut on the upper right hand corner was done during the process of making the note? I know this type of cut was very common with confederate notes but I didn't think it would be nearly as common with these. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 3:43 pm Yes, I would agree that this was deliberately trimmed, perhaps to cut away a small tear. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 6:33 pm I don't think so. The BEs are always tight on the top and bottom, and I think this one is just O/C to the right. Aside from the trimmed area, all of the other edges look natural and worn to my eye. Edited by Coinfrog 07/26/2015 6:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 7:13 pm Trimmed a long time ago, most probably by somebody who did not understand, that 'improving' the note would detract from it's notaphilic value. I agree, provided that if 'improving' it was the reason for it being trimmed, then that reason was to remove edge tears or tatty edges. A "details" note. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/27/2015 4:58 pm I stand corrected. I can see the clear trim on the right edge as I look more closely. Report this Post to the Staff
