Greece 25.5.1927 P-91s PMG Choice About UNC 58 100 Drachmai (Specimen)
Greek specimen, distributed to the American Banknote Company to Greece and not from the printer's archives. Prior to the disbursement of the ABNC archives in the 1990s these specimens were the only way once could acquire specimens of these ABNC printed notes, and today such specimens are much scarcer than the ones that came from the archives (which typically do not have rouletted "CANCELLED" perforations). We realize this is a lot of detail for what many consider a relatively common specimen, but it is a topic worthy of additional research.
