Fenntucky Mike Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 Interesting, I'll have to look this up tomorrow. I'm going to assume that this was a preservation attempt but I want to look into it further. FYI, I haven't been able to access the forums for over a week, I'll be happy to take a look at this know that the chat boards are back up and running.

Fenntucky Mike Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 I can't say with certainty but the most likely reason for lacquering the seal and serial numbers would be to preserve them and/or to make them appear more vibrant. A practice that may have been considered acceptable at one time, along with pressing notes, but is now frowned upon. That's my best guess anyway, and definitely a note I would steer clear of.

Ohnoimbroke Posted December 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Yeah Mike . I don't find a lot of lacquering seals . I want a nice 1928 legal tender . But I'll pass on this on . Thanks for the help . Fenntucky Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenntucky Mike Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Approach any note with a NET grade with caution, if not a full sprint in the opposite direction. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
