Hello Guys,

I received a call back from Marty Gengerke of Smythe
about the 471 $10 "error." Marty did the cataloging
and believes that it is an error. He says that he did
look at it under ultraviolet light. When asked how he
can account for the missing ink on the face as well as
the back, he says that he cannot. Of course he suggest
that we examine the note at Memphis and of course we
certainly will. 

I remain very suspect. I will get Joe Boling to look
at it to. Joe is very methodical and experienced as
such things. Aside to MPCski, please bring your uv
light.

So that it is clear, Marty was open and helpful. He is
also a very good and experienced numismatist.

This is an interesting item. A high grade 471 $10 is
not the note that we would expect someone to mess with
thus supporting the error theory. Of course that would
therefore also support a deception!

Even if it is determined to be a genuine error, the
nagging doubts will hold the price down for a very
long time in my opinion.

The Bank Note Reporter with the story on the 691 701
MPC is on the street. I have not seen it yet, but Wiz
has and gave us a report. We did not get the front
page coverage that we wanted, but it is still a great
story and will be important. 

I hope to see you on chat tonight! Have a great day.

Fred

Aside to John Wilson, I suggest the breakfast meeting
for the award.
