United States 1854 Empire City Bank 100 Dollars proof note, Collins Line steamship vignette, blank reverse with American Bank Note Company archival stamp, PMG Uncirculated 62 EPQ

United States 1854 - Empire City Bank 100 Dollars Proof (Pick NY1585G16P)

The reverse is entirely blank and bears a handstamp reading “Property of American Bank Note Company.” This institutional mark confirms that the note remained within engraving firm custody rather than entering banking channels. Such stamps were applied to proof material retained for archival reference, legal protection, or internal documentation and are distinct from later collector-applied markings. The blank reverse, combined with the proof format and cancellation punches, places this note squarely within the category of internal proof production. Read more →

Australia 1929 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited - Circular Letter of Credit Photographic Proof (Mounted on Cardstock, PCGS 64 Very Choice New)

Produced as a photographic proof, this example originates from the pre-engraving approval stage within the printer’s workflow. Photographic proofs allowed both printer and issuing bank to evaluate composition, layout, and security features prior to committing to engraved plates. The mounting on original cardstock confirms its role as an internal archival or presentation reference, rather than an instrument prepared for circulation or financial use. Read more →
