    Down to one note - the 1934b $5 FRN...
    The rare 1928D has joined the set - how fitting in 2009 with all this depression/recession talk. The 1928d's were issued around 1933 and quickly removed from circulation when the "Gold Clause" was removed on the 1934 series after the New Deal.
     
    Now off to find the final note, a 1934b $5 FRN. Not just any old 1934b, I want to take my time to find a nice ungraded example of the series so I can have the fun of sending the note in for grading.
     
    Have a great Autumn!

    The elusive 1928C has joined the set - how fitting in 2009, the 200th Lincoln Annv.
    Working hard and a great find in this economy - I picked up a ungraded 1928c $5 FRN for lowest amount in 2 years of searching. Passed up the first four and scored with this one - there is truth to the advice of being paitent for a nice coin or note that is a must for whatever you're collecting.
     
    Now off to find the 1928d $5 FRN...
    Have a great February!

    A $5 dollar bill as a kid was like the holy grail...
    Growing up in the late 70's and early 80's as a kid I would get mixed change and dollar bills for various things and on a rare occasion the elusive $5 dollar bill. You see a $5 dollar bill could buy you 19 packs of Garbage Pail Kids or Topps baseball - you could get a icee, candy and a beef stick w/ change to take home for the next run. To me the $5 dolar bill was like the holy grail. Yeah, I might get a $10 or a $20 at Christmas or my birthday - but usually for some strage reason my parnets said that money needs to go to the bank. It's a good as gone from my outlook as a kid, even if I'm spending it now. But, the $5 dollar bill seemed to be exempt along with the lesser $1 -so it beacame the big bill in my spending.
    So here I am trying to build a set - by chance really initally buying variuous star notes through the BEP. Come to find out, they were wise purchases and a good start in the right direction of a collection.
    I guess my collection is more of a reach out to my youth and the joy a $5 dollar bill would bring me as a kid. Too bad my kids will ask for a $20 in a few years due to inflation...
