Hello Everyone,
Happy weekend! Last night was slow on chat. Actaully
over the whole evening a fair number of folks checked
in, but not too many at once. Then there were some
technical problems. Ouch.

Doug has now set up a special MPC chat area so make
sure that you go to MPC chat, instead of the public
area. 

We did have some nice research yesterday. A dealer
reported the following British Armed Foreces Special
Voucher, Second Series 1 pound note. It is a prefix
AA/10 with security thread and a serial number of
450,000. This would seem to limit the notes with
watermark to only the last half of the AA/10 block. I
am looking forward to Larry Smulczenski's comments on
this note. I am not sure if I have a wmk note, but
assume that Larry does.

Another Larry (Gibbs) wrote the following question:

Hey Fred. Do you know how many different colors of ink
were used to print the wrappers for MPC?  I have three
wrappers one each printed in purple, green and black
ink.

This is a a good one because I cannot say--it is in
the book, because I do not believe that it is. Off
hand I cannot be sure how many colors were used, but
we should compile this information. Furhermore, the
bands were printed in (at least) two sizes because of
the different heights of the fractional and dollar
denominations. A collection of just three colors by
two sizes would be an impressive group.

Larry, thanks for the question. Hopefully, we can
figure out a clear answer within a few days.

Hope to see everyone at chat tonight. I think that I
will not be on till 11pm eastern, but I do expect to
be there.

Have a great day!

Fred
