$20 FRBN star - Minneapolis - should I buy it ??

[tmack-migration]

I found a VG - Fine (stains and a 3 mil hole) at a pawn shop. It's priced fairly I believe at $100.00 with 4 digit serial number (I'm sorry that I didn't retain it). How many are in the census ? Thoughts ??

What series is it from?

Fr. 1890-I* (star) 1929 $100 Brown Jones Woods

$20 FRBN star - Minneapolis

 

- How many are in the census ?

 

PMG Total Graded 1 , only one graded at PMG-20

CGA did not have any 1890-I* stars listed

PCGS, i donot have access to that information.

that a type 1 or type 2? inquiering minds ya know

[BRIAN339]

There was only one type. Its not a national banknote its national currency. I think the hole is the deal killer. It may be worth the $100 but most people shy away from problem currency.

This note is a Federal Reserve Bank note, not national currency or a national bank note. Circumstances of their circulation in 1932-33 caused them to be overprinted on unserialed national note sheet stock, hence the similarity, but the mechanics of their issue were completely different.

 

There exist numerous private censi on FRBNs, much more reliable than TPG population reports. You can get more information from members of the PCGS boards.

 

I do agree that you should stay clear of problem notes.

Thanks for all the great info. I will try to yet snag the note and provide pic if I am successful.

[tmack-migration]

I did it - I bought the $20 Star Mpls FRBN. I can't figure out how to post a pic or two. Help ??

The 2007 version of Jhon E Cash Census states 18 known. If you supply the serial number, I will let you know if it is this census or not, and if so the grade noted.

Use photobucket to post your note.

Serial # I00001901*

 

FYI - the "hole" I mentioned in my first post was in reality a small margin defect. With the margin defect and rust stains, I'd grade it a net VG.

 

Thank you,

[JIM F.]

This SN is not in the 2007 release of Jhon E Cash's Census which had 18 known at the time of release.
