In 1990, the American Bank Note Co. archives were opened and sold by Christies at auction. Many of the items sold were seen by those outside of the A.B.N.C. for the first time. Edward Wener, of Indigo, purchased the complete inventory of the 1897 Royal Family Issue, with many of these items range in quantities of 100-400 produced. Careful study is required to see differences in the 12 different SPECIMEN types.
