Colorado Belle $1 - Varieties (small scan) grin

Scanned below are the two different, in-use Colorado Belle $1 checks. Although the TCR has two different issues listed based on a difference in blue line thickness, I struggle to discern those differences. However, as seen in the scan below, you can easily note the difference between these two checks. See that the orientation of the words "Colorado Belle" to the four clusters of five inserts are different. Note also that the words "Colorado Belle" align the same (on both checks) over the four blue spokes extending off the blue center ring. (The fact that the CIC's align nicely, is only because I rotated them to a nice position.)

These two varieties of checks may or may not also have the differences that the TCR has specified. It is possible that the Belle could have four different varieties. But the examples shown below are readily recognizable.

Example "A" occurs less frequently than does "B". If I had to guess there is a 7:1 differential.

BTW - I am still looking for a red Colorado Belle, $5, Bud Jones, 8-Yellow inserts (4 sets of 2), CIC. If you have one please LMK, especially if it is a trader or for sale.

Thanks, Jim Follis
