Dockwalliper Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 My daughter brought this home from work today. One of 2 silver certs found in the bill changer. Do you think the autograph is real or someone attampt to copy? Looks pretty good to me. Check this out. http://www.gccurrencyplus.com/287140_Auto-...ertificate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Well, my first guess was someone just copying the signature for fun. But now that I see that she signed some of the bills, I'd say it was an authentic signed copy accidentally put into circulation. If you could get a better, larger, more detailed picture, it would give more clues. Maybe take a digital photograph and have some better lighting to detail the texture more.

Dockwalliper Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 She seems to have been a rather prolific signer of bills. I've found 3 sites so far selling these bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Real or not, i think it's funny that the signature is exactly like (very similar to) the engraved one. Of course it should be, but how often are you able to replicate your own signature between two documents in such a similar manner? You can tell it's the end of summer for me and I'm going back to school soon. I can't figure out my own logic. Me speak bad. I hope Chicago is at least warm.

jtryka Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Very cool find! I knew that Ivy Baker Priest signed a bunch, and I guess she wasn't the only one. My guess would be genuine, though even if a fake, she only paid a dollar for it! As for consistency of signature, I looked through some of my checks returned in my bank statement and there is surprising consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I'd guess it's real. Many of the treasurers would sign bills as mementoes at major coin/currency evens and give them to the folks at the dinners. I have a few from ANA conventions signed by a bunch of folks. Great keepsakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 You know, it's still at least worth a dollar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banivechi Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 For me the large signature looks so perfect... to perfect. How it is possible to make a signature to fill exactly the white interval into banknote's design". I am sure if anybody try, must make dozens till one is perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
