Here is a 2c Orange Bankcheck 1st Series Revenue design (R6) imprinted on a check. I checked closely, and the stamp is actually impressed on the check itself. I don't see this listed in Scott in the RN section, and no notes elsewhere. Is this listed anywhere?
RN-I1 - it is listed in the Scott Catalogue, but is not illustrated in the RN section, there is just a text listing that says "Design R2 of 1862-72 adhesive revenues" The catalog value (2020) was $225
Explains why I didn't find it, no illustration in the RN section, just a small note about the design. I see there is also an RN-I2 with the US Inter. Rev. design.
is that still true? I thought there was a find of RN-I2 checks maybe 5-10 years ago. Many were in poor condition, and they sold well below catalog. It just seems to me that I have seen more RN-I2 than RN-I1 on the market lately.
I haven't really been looking. I am not aware of any large finds, but since condition is important, I would expect it to still be true, at least for F-VF examples.
Quote: And it would be so easy for Scott to go ahead and illustrate this type rather than make references to another section of the catalog.
I suspect that this dates from the time when whole stamps, including revenues could not be pictured in the catalog. And since the revenue section is generally treated as an afterthought anyway, no one ever bothered to add it.
