Inherited from Grandfather in 1972

Sat in a drawer for 40 years Our grandfather saved a few bills from when he first immigrated to the US in 1917. I decided to have them graded and although worth very little, they are priceless to me. Sweet man thought he was passing down valuable currency! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Another reverse beauty

The Hillegas $10 is numbered in the 1000's but they are reasonable prices for high quality. Get this for the same price someone is selling a 2009 $10 bill with a 2 digit serial number.

Reverse of Investment Focus II

Fr-1197, a note from 1882. Look at the beaut of the reverse. They don't make notes like this anymore. Reverse of a gold certificate with good eye appeal = good investment. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Investment Focus II

GOLD CERTIFICATES Everyone should have some gold coins, but gold certificates are really good investments. Don't buy . Try to score at least a 30 and preferably better in PPQ or EPQ. I look at the 1922 and 1913 large size $50 Grants. With the exception of Fr-1200, these are incredibly low populations! And finding these $50's in better than PCGS, PMG 50 is really difficult (unless the 1922 Fr-1200) So buying a quality 30 or above with no NET or Apparent and especially if you can get EPQ/PPQ, I

Investment Focus

What notes are the best investment? One might say any note you can buy low and sell high! Since this Journal is useless in that I am talking to myself (no one ever replies) here is my take. GO to Track and Price. It is surprising some notes perceived as rare, BILLIONS were printed. Small silver certificates after 1934 are just about all worth a few dollars. Some make money by selling hundreds of these graded at 65 or 66's bought for 20 bucks ans selling for 50 to 100. Even the star notes are w

More Genius 2

After a real grader does the job!! It's "gem like" because someone, I have no idea who would do this, sprays shellack on the note. "Gemlike" turns to NET!! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Technicolor! Queen of Notes....King of Pain

More genius on my part I am a genius. I buy notes graded high and have them regraded, cut their value in half and effectively throw money into the wind. I am clearly a currency genius. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
