Conder101 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 My guess would be yes. Looks like some kind of proof or specimen note for a state note issue of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgrinz Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 MY question would be why, if it is a specimen note depicted by the 0000 serial number, was the note cancelled by a PUNCH HOLE ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Sometimes notes are punch canceled, and i've also seen other specimen or test notes notes with similar holes to mark them as different and not for circulation use. The 0000 serial number is another way and some of them are also overprinted with the word specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 is it worth grading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettow Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 It is not a piece of paper money. It is a bond coupon. These are usually attached to the full specimen bond. This one may have been clipped from the bond or may have been printed separately as a specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 is there any way to find out what yr it is? i dont know if there is anything on rev due to i dont want to mess it up (figure ill let the graders touch it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamericon Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Based on others I have seen it is most likely a late 19th/early 20th century issue. I cannot recommend any reference books for bonds, but you can find plenty of websites that sell them. You could compare it to some listed items. As far as graded this, I do not think there is any advantage to doing that. There is not a very large market for unattached bond coupons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syngraphic Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 It is a Bond Coupon (Specimen). Probably came from the ABNCo archive sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
