Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 1000 pesos specimen Pick 41as with De La Rue CANCELLED stamp and Specimen No. 50

Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 1000 Pesos Specimen, De La Rue Cancel Stamp, Serie A, Specimen No. 50 (Pick 41as)

Cancellation on this specimen is effected through a restrained printer-applied method rather than mechanical perforation or large overprint. The obverse bears a small red oval stamp reading SPECIMEN DE LA RUE – CANCELLED, applied near the lower central portion of the design. No diagonal SPECIMEN overprint or perforated cancellation is present. This cancellation style reflects a controlled printer-level handling protocol, balancing permanent non-monetary invalidation with maximal preservation of the engraved artwork. Read more →

Uruguay 1939 Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 pesos specimen Pick 40as with perforated cancellation

Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 Pesos Specimen, Perforated Cancel, Serie A (Pick 40as)

Printed by Thomas De La Rue and Company Limited, this specimen records a specialized method of controlling high-value reference currency. Its importance lies not only in the five hundred pesos design itself, but in the survival of a distinct administrative format in which perforation, rather than printed ink, served as the permanent instrument of cancellation. It is a complete production-standard record of the Serie A type and a significant document of the security printer's institutional handling practices. Read more →

Uruguay 1939 Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 pesos specimen, Pick 40as, Serie A, printed SPECIMEN overprint with De La Rue CANCELLED stamp and Specimen No. 29

Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 Pesos Specimen, Printed Cancel, Serie A, Specimen No. 29 (Pick 40as)

A broad diagonal red SPECIMEN overprint crosses the principal design field, immediately establishing the note's reference status. The oval SPECIMEN DE LA RUE CANCELLED control stamp adds a second level of authority, identifying the cancellation as part of the printer's formal handling system. Unlike a purely decorative overprint, the combined markings communicate both function and custody: the note was intentionally prepared, recorded, and invalidated under controlled conditions.

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 design differs from issued Empire City Bank notes cataloged under Haxby G16. Most notably, the male portrait normally found in the lower right corner of circulation examples is absent, indicating that the layout was still under review at the proof stage. The note lacks serial numbers and officer signatures, and four punch of cancellation markers are present in the signature positions. These punch marks served as internal controls, ensuring that proof material could not be diverted for monetary use while still allowing close examination of engraving quality, denomination balance, and overall visual authority.

Cayman Islands 1974 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 Dollars Specimen No. 017 with Red Overprint & Oval Stamp (Pick 6s)

The specimen state is defined by a layered De La Rue control protocol. A bold red diagonal SPECIMEN overprint spans the face, and two red oval control stamps reading “SPECIMEN / DE LA RUE / NO VALUE” are applied in the classic De La Rue format used to mark specimen material that had to remain visually legible while being permanently non-monetary. A further physical voiding measure is present as a single punch cancellation in the signature area, an additional safeguard that disables monetary function without obscuring the engraved design.
