Scott #148 National Banknote Company printing-
A marble bust by Volk became the model for the portrait of Lincoln on the six cent bank notes which were printed by all three companies.
The without grill version is known to have been used as early as 28 March 1870. Over 27 million were issued in carmine with dark carmine and rose and brown carmine shades also identified. Cancellations in black, blue, purple, violet, brown, red, ultramarine and green are known.
Scott #162P4 Continental Banknote Co. Printing -
The model for the twelve cent Clay was a bust by Hart. The Clay was only printed by the NBNC and the CBNC; however, the ABNC did produce a special printing.
The CBNC version can be identified by the shape of the ball of the 2 in the value. The CBNC version is crescent shaped while the NBNC version is round. Ribbed paper as well as wove paper was used in producing this stamp. The earliest known use of CBNC stamp is 3 January 1873. It was printed in a blackish violet. About 3 million were printed. Black, blue, ultramarine, brown and red cancels have been found.
I also have a Scott #400A that's currently M.I.A..
I hope it's still on it's way to me!
Scans of it will follow.
