Oppose Great detail and resolution, but I strongly dislike the background. It should be completely white without dirt on it. I will change to support if you deal with this. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 17:06, 18 November 2008 (UTC) Support It's good now. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 15:42, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you on the background. I have cleaned it up on my TIFF master and uploaded a new JPG. I still have access to the bill and can re-scan it if necessary. Swtpc6800 (talk) 02:15, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good image of old banknote, but why for FP? --Karelj (talk) 22:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

During the campaign, President-elect Obama made the point that "he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills." This banknote reminds us of a time when blacks were on the currency. Swtpc6800 (talk) 02:38, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support because what else will Wikimedia projects use to illustrate Confederate banknotes? I do agree the background should be cropped, but what is it with Commons. Someone takes the best picture that anyone is likely to ever see of a major type of historic document, and half of FPC sits around complaining about them daring to suggest that we feature something that's only a crucial part of the historic record.

Comment Adam, it is not because an image does not achieve FP status (or whatever other reward for that matter) that it becomes unusable for illustration of an article. If people don't like it on the front page, then so be it! Some don't like naked worms, others don't like old banknotes and some even neither. Well, there is nothing that you or I or anybody else can do about it. De gustibus coloribusque ...Lycaon (talk) 14:00, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Rare and historical. --Mr. Mario (talk) 00:04, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support - I'd full support, but I feel like the white space is too big. diego_pmc (talk) 07:48, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I reduced the white space. These banknotes are not rectangular; the sheets were often cut with a hand sheer or scissors. - Swtpc6800 (talk) 03:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Why not? Just a banknote, but great resolution. --Aktron (talk) 15:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
