MILITARY PAYMENT CERTIFICATE (MPC) SERIES 611 $10 CGC-66PQ! FINEST KNOWN CGC AND BY ALL TO OUR KNOWLEDGE! CGC HAS NICKNAMED THIS DESIGN THE "MARILYN MONROE" NOTE, DUE TO IT'S LIKENESS. THIS PARTICULAR VIGNETTE WAS ENGRAVED BY MATHEW FENTON. THE VIGNETTE ON THE BACK REPRESENTS "COMMERCE." THIS PIECE WAS PART OF THE FIRST PRINTING. THE MILITARY PAYMENT CERTIFICATES BIRTH REALLY ORIGINATED ON FEBRUARY 18, 1946 WHEN SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (FRED M. VINSON), PROPOSED IN A LETTER TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR THAT OVERSEAS TROOPS BE PAID IN A COMBINATION OF SCRIPT AND LOCAL CURRENCIES. I PERSONALLY HAVE SEVERAL FAVORITE SERIES (13 TOTAL SERIES EXIST), BUT IF I HAD TO PICK ONLY ONE PIECE, IT WOULD BE THE "MARILY MONROE" PIECE. COMING IN A CLOSE SECOND ARE THE MILITARY SERIES (681) AND THEN THE ANIMAL SERIES (CHIEF HOLLOW HORN AND CHIEF OURAY), SERIES 692. BUT, THERE ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL NOTES FROM THESE SERIES THAT IT'S HARD TO NARROW DOWN FAVORITES! THE "TIARA" $5 FROM THIS SAME SERIES 611 (MARILYN MONROE SERIES) IS ALSO A STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL CONTENDER! I FIRST OWNED ONE OF THESE MARILYN MONROE TYPES BACK IN 2002 AND REMEMBER MY REACTION WHEN I FIRST SAW IT, SAYING TO A COLLEAGUE "THAT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL U.S. NOTE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!" SO MY SEARCH HAS CONTINUED FOR MANY YEARS TO FIND AN ACTUAL GEM, IN THIS CASE, A SUPERB GEM! A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THE FINEST "MARILYN MONROE" IS UPON YOU!
