gtathreeguy Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum, this is my 1st post. I joined a membership with PMG a few months ago primarily so that I could send off a couple notes to be graded. 1 of my notes is just fine ($500 grover cleveland) & I have all the info I need (Friedberg #). The other 4 notes, however, I have discovered to be a little more difficult. I'm hoping that someone can help me out with the info I need, or let me know if I'm stressing over nothing. The other 4 notes, are obsolete bank notes. I will attach pix. So I need some sort of "catalog number" or serial number for the grading form. From what I've gathered, obsolete bank notes are tracked with the "haxby numbering" system....but I can't seem to find anything online about it. Or how i would come up with the numbers for my notes. The only thing I can find, is a book for like $300-$400 to purchase online. But that's obviously quite a lot of $$$ that hopefully I can avoid if possible. So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the numbers would be for my notes, or if I would be able to just send the notes for grading, without a catalog number. Any help is much appreciated, -- Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtathreeguy Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Ok I couldn't get the pix to attach to my post, forum said that they are too large. But here are a couple links to them: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/55871351.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/85/22310086.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/807/32146179.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/525/93084740.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/20120108182510749.jpg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM F. Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Save your money on the grading fees. These Augusta notes are common even in high grades with a value around $20-30 (each) in AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintcollector Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Welcome to the boards. That being said, I love $500 and $1000 notes. Unfortunately I do not know anything about obsoletes. Hopefully, someone else can chime in on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM F. Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 The one thing about obsoletes is that many have pretty neat designs and they are not very expensive. However, one may want to concentrate on a specific area (geographic, theme or otherwise) otherwise it would be pretty much impossible to put together a cohesive collection. Another area to consider might be confederate as most are affordable and they are an interesting part of our history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtathreeguy Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ok thanks for the info. Guess I will prob. need to just focus on something else that would be easier/more profitable to try & pursue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
