Green on white, signed Graves. There’s more than meets the eye with this check, as the orange ink of the overprint appears on top of the green ink of the check. This is the opposite of how stamped checks were supposed to be printed: stamp the paper first, print the checkface on the taxed paper.
Typical spindle cut is the only small flaw.
