New Zealand 1992 100 Dollars Rutherford specimen with vertical red SPECIMEN overprint, dual De La Rue oval stamps, punch hole cancellation, extensive handwritten printer annotations, serial AA000000 003, Pick 181s, PMG 58.

New Zealand 1992 - 100 Dollars Rutherford Design Vertical Red SPECIMEN Overprint Printer-Annotated TDLR Specimen (Pick 181s)

This example represents a complex internal printer specimen, combining multiple control and approval features rarely encountered together on a single note. The most visually striking element is the red 'SPECIMEN' overprint applied vertically from top to bottom across the portrait and central design. This orientation differs fundamentally from the standard diagonal format used on earlier De La Rue specimens, indicating a distinct production or presentation method within the 1992 issue.

United States 1929 Type 1 - 10 Dollars National Bank Note The First National Bank of Taylorville Illinois Fr1801-1 CH 3579 PMG 30 Very Fine

United States 1929 – 10 Dollars Type 1 National Bank Note – The First National Bank of Taylorville, Illinois Charter 3579 (Fr.1801-1)

This Series 1929 Type 1 ten-dollar note from The First National Bank of Taylorville, Illinois (Charter 3579) is a national-level rarity and a true anomaly in U.S. banking history. The bank officially ceased operations in October 1929-barely months after the introduction of small-size National Bank Notes-making it one of the first casualties of the transition from large-size to small-size currency. Although government records indicate that no 1929 notes were released for this charter, this example, serial E000176A, proves that a small batch of $10 notes briefly entered circulation before the bank’s collapse.
