    GoldFinger1969 reacted to Walter Haug in PLACEMENT OF SIGNATURES ON $2 BILL   
    Going through some red seal 1953 two dollar bills, noticed a few have the Secretary's signature beginning right under the red seal, but most have the Secretary's signature beginning under the "T" in "TWO".
    Is there any significance to the placement of the Secretary's signature?? Or is it part of an overprint on the basic Obverse print?

    GoldFinger1969 reacted to Lance A D in Radar & Repeater $1 FRN Pricing   
    I was going through my junk pile and I came across a bunch of radar and repeater $1 FRNs from the last 25 years or so (all crisp uncirculated, maybe 63-65s). I’m curious as to what these things are going for today. What does a typical radar go for? What does a typical super radar go for? What does a typical 4-digit [ABCD ABCD] repeater go for?  Appreciate your input.

    Check sold listings on ebay, Heritage Auctions and Stack's Bowers archives, etc., to determine FMV.

    Did a quick search over at HA and I'd estimate $30 - $50 if graded 65/66. Try searching by the Friedberg number, Fr. 2075-B, that should pull up a bunch of examples.

    Yeah I thought there would be more people over on this chat too  Thank you for the info! I will try to view with side lighting to further inspect. 
    How much do you think this bill would be valued at 65/66 out of curiosity? Also if this was graded 67 or up what would that range? I didn't have much luck looking up values..regardless it was a neat find and I will keep it with my other notes.

    Welcome to the other side NEC. Don't get much crossover here for some reason, you would think more coin collectors would have some interest in notes as well. 
    The note and sig combo is pretty common so the note would have to grade astronomically high to recoup the grading fees. The note has average centering and the ink appears light or faded in the images, I have a hard time imagining the note going over 65-66 which is not high enough to justify grading. 
    While it's basically impossible to grade a note from images as there are several factors to consider which require that the note be in hand such as paper quality, embossing, etc., but it is possible to guestimate a general range in which one thinks the note might land. It's also necessary to view the note with side lighting as that will reveal hidden creases and folds that may not be visible in an image or in hand under normal lighting.

    I don't go out of my way for notes but I do collect if I find something. Found this basically and I say "basically" because I don't know much about alignment of bills, paper quality etc pristine crisp 1985 $20
    Was just curious if it is worth grading or not. What the value could be since it doesn't have any fancy serial numbers etc. just amazing condition. Thank you for your information and or opinions.

    GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike in I want to check if a Note was previously Graded.   
    What you're looking for doesn't exist as far as I know and if it did it is definitely not available to the general public. You can try contacting PMG directly to see if they can provide the information you're looking for but if I remember correctly I believe I read that PMG does not keep a record of serial numbers that have been graded. Let us know if PMG was able to help you. Good luck.

    GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike in Selling of collection   
    To get top dollar your best bet is to probably sell through an auction house depending on what the collection consists of. Auction houses will charge a fee per item to sell them but the fee is probably less than the discount you would have to take to sell them to a dealer. Of course some people don't want to go through the long process of selling a collection via auction and even though they sell the collection at a discount to a dealer the seller still comes out way ahead sometimes due to the prices they paid when purchasing the notes and the length of time they held them.

    Hello, welcome to the forum.
    I see what looks like blotchiness on the note, makes me wonder if the seal and serial numbers weren't removed on purpose or due to other factors. The other odd thing is that both seals and serial numbers are applied at the same time during the third printing, that you have the left seal and four "5's" makes me suspicious as well. This is not a note that I would purchase site unseen, online, unless it was authenticated by a TPG or it was a screaming deal with little to no risk.
    If it was authenticated as a missing or obstructed print error the value would be around a few hundred dollars.

    I'm not seeing anything worth over $100 imo, or at least right around there. They all seem to be fairly common notes, well, notes from FRB's that come up for sale with some frequency, and are in heavily circulated condition, and that paper clip stain really puts a hurting on their value.

    GoldFinger1969 reacted to Lance A D in Any Good Currency Books That Combine Inventory/Pricing with good stories ?   
    There are only two publications that I subscribe to that touch on paper currency. One is Bank Note Reporter. I only collect small-size currency, so that's the pricing I look at. Unfortunately, pricing on small-size notes hasn't been updated in five or six years - it's pretty ancient. The articles are pretty interesting, so you might consider this magazine.
    The second publication is the monthly issue of Coin World. Prices of large- and small-size currency are listed on a revolving basis. It's current, but I'm not qualified to say whether the prices are accurate. They seen to sync pretty much with eBay items. Currency articles are sparse, but interesting.

    GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike in 2 dollar bills with unique serial numbers   
    As GoldFinger has said, the best place to determine the note's value would be to check recent sales of the same note in the same grade. Based on a quick search I'd estimate the value to be around $20USD, if you're luck you'll find someone who falls in love with the serial number and pays a bit more.

    Generally true but sometimes you can find uncirculated bills in an ATM, albeit in lower grades like 62-64 usually.
