Thanks Harvey! As for purchasing, I've found a lot of good stuff at local shows, as it's easier to find things where folks may not know the details about what they are selling (signature combinations etc.). I bought these last two off eBay, but that's not the best place. I've purchased a few from Heritage as well, but unlike their coins, their photos of currency tend to look a little better than the notes once you get them in hand, so you should expect something less than the photos you see when buying from them.

Got this one in the mail yesterday:

I got this one in the mail on Monday, it's pretty worn out, but you would be too if you were 120!

Well, this was my first attempt at scanning rather than a photo, so I have my work cut out for me!

I got this one last week from my dealer friend down in Indy, a nice upgrade for my woodchopper, this one is a very choice AU.

Excellent notes!

Yes, the bargain of the year so far! This tops my $5 FRN Fr. 869 that graded 64 EPQ that I bought for $135, so there are still bargains to be found in currency!

Well, I just checked and Heritage sold a pair in PCGS 63 just 3 days ago for $1,380 with the juice, so a 64 EPQ might bring a slight premium. It seems that these pairs in this design are the most common as they had pairs of Black eagles that went for like $14K! I have no plans on selling them at this point since they are the only unc. series 1923 silver certs I own!

Well then I guess I'll do that!

I thought PMG offered a multi-holder similar to NGC, but I could be wrong.

Yes, I hope to have them graded in a multi-holder.

Picked these two up today, reverse changeover pair, FR 237 and 238:

Nice one Zach! I'm like you, I think I only have one fractional and I believe it's the same one!

I think it was about $135 for the note originally.

This one is a crisp unc. series 1914 $5 FRN that I bought from a board member. He had two and asked a very reasonable price for a common note, but when I received it I looked up the signature combination and this is a rather uncommon FR. 869! What a pleasant Christmas surprise!

 

Got the grade on this one from PMG today, 64 EPQ! From their pop report, I think there was only one higher at 65!

Once again spectacular boiler!

Ha! Actually there are 19, but I couldn't get them all in the picture. They are my first consecutive unc silver certs.

I got these today in the mail, not much but I like them!

I just got these two in the mail today to complete my large size FRN type set:

I can't see the photo.

I picked this one up at a local show today:

WOW!

Since I'm still a newb at notes, Boiler is there any significance to the names listed on the front of the $1? At first I thought they might be the signers of the Declaration of Independence, but then there was Grant and Fulton and Lincoln and others who lived well after 1776. Are they just a listing of great Americans in history?

Well, the mail lady was good to me today! This first one is just a common series 1929 Federal Reserve Banknote that I bought off eBay. I had a $20 off code for Paypal, so with that discount I only paid $21.74 for this one delivered, so I figured that's pretty good!

This one is a crisp unc. series 1914 $5 FRN that I bought from a board member. He had two and asked a very reasonable price for a common note, but when I received it I looked up the signature combination and this is a rather uncommon FR. 869! What a pleasant Christmas surprise!

What a nice educational note! They are so hard to find in nice shape and that one is certainly a nice looking one despite the issues along the edge.

Very cool fractional note! In my opinion they are quite underrated at the moment.
