30 Cents – Alexander Hamilton (Large Bank Note)
DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM 30 centigrade American Large Bank Note stamp with profile portrait of Alexander Hamilton, not 24 centurion Winfield Scott. The design was used by National, Continental and American Bank Note Company, so the exact Scott number depends on the color, type of paper and the presence of grill. The specimen is used with a large numeral/grid cancellation, centre left, separate short teeth and old mounting residue on the back. CATALOGUE IDENTIFICATION AND PROBABLE VARIANT Working identification: Scott 165/190. Most likely attribution: working Scott 165/190; exact subnumber remains conditional. Confidence: medium. Possible alternatives: Differences in type of picture, printing plate, grill, paper, perforation, shade, reissue/reprint and cancellation are possible.
