WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 11:43 pm I just thought this was too cool not to share. I don't normally buy these stock certificates, but this was an exception. Here is the story behind this piece: "The owner of this 1919 issued stock certificate was The Dollar Savings Bank, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The vignette is of Prince, who was the pet of the president of the bank in the 1890s, T.H. Given. Blind embossed stamps for both banks are at bottom center on this stock certificate printed by the ABNCo" I've never seen someone use a vignette of their pet! Really neat piece. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 01:17 am I would've thought that this would better fit in the US Paper Money forum where the paper money gurus would be more likely to appreciate this. The Staff knows best though. Edited by WheatBack 02/10/2016 01:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

If you're interested in adding additional numismatic items featuring Prince the dog, the Farmers Deposit Bank also issued a number of aluminum tokens to promote the opening of new savings accounts. The tokens are known in seven different denominations, including: 1/2 cent, 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, and a dollar. The quarter, half-dollar and dollar denominations are the rarest varieties (I'm still missing the dollar token in my collection). I scanned the half-dollar token, since it's the largest one I have featuring the dog (35mm): My 7070 My NGC Registry Sets: https://coins.www.collectors-societ...eopleID=9216 Report this Post to the Staff
