FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK Cash Department |" Circular No. 6531 LJanuary 27, 1925J r New Counterfeits To all Banks, Trust Companies and Savings Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District: The Treasury Department in its circular letter No. 550 describes two new counterfeits as follows: $10 Federal Reserve Note "On the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland; series 1914; check letter ' B ' ; face plate No. 159; back plate No. 1125; A. W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury; Frank White, Treasurer of the United States; portrait of Jackson. "This is a photomechanical production of rather poor workmanship, but the general appearance of the note at first glance is deceptive, particularly the face. It is printed on two pieces of thin paper, with a few ink lines intended to imitate the silk fiber of the genuine. The coloring used on the back of the note is poor, and the quality of the work is inferior to that on the face. The number of the specimen at hand is D25065654A.'' $10 United States "Buffalo" Note "Series 1901; small portraits of Lewis and Clark; check letter 'A'; Frank White, Treasurer of the United States; H. V. Speelman, Register of the Treasury. "The note is of the photomechanical process, printed on genuine paper obtained by bleaching a one dollar note. The workmanship is extremely crude, as is also the coloring, and as these features should attract the attention of any ordinarily observant handler a further description is deemed unnecessary." Very truly yours, BENJ. STRONG, Governor.
