Upside down M on 1937 $2
« on: June 06, 2012, 12:05:30 pm »
Hi guys,
I just joined the forum a few weeks ago and here goes my first post.  I have a 1937 Gordon Towers $2 and it appears to me that the prefix W/B is instead an upside-down M over B.  I know on the $1 the W is actually a W.  Has anyone seen something like this before?
Many thanks
Jacob

It's just a difference in the font used on the numbering machines.  CBN printed the $1s whereas BABN printed the $2s, so minor differences like that abound.

Just an interesting tidbit.... there is a series of $1 US silver certificates where one of the letters on the SAME NOTE is an inverted W (trying to be an M).



Here's an article/census about it: http://www.uspapermoney.info/survey/invw.html
