Warning of new counterfeit bill circulating
Postmaster Harry McKinstry reports a suspected counterfeit from the 1914 Federal Reserve New York issue with face plate number indistinct and serial B 44183529. The note lists Frank White and A W Mellon with a Cleveland image, printed on genuine paper but the back in an unnatural green tone with barely visible lathework lines. The seal and chambering appear blue, making the back the easier way to detect the fraud.
