I'm just getting started in this, collecting colonial currency. I wanted to start of with a "bang" to me:

John Hart was one of the signers of the declaration of independence. So there you go! Next up, a Ben Franklin printed note...

I've been looking for 'Franklin and Hall' printed note. The Delaware issues look great, but in decent condition they will cost you. Same with the Pennsylvania issues. Maybe one day I'll come across someone desperate for cash and is willing to let one go on the cheap.

 

 

I recently purchased this inexpensive piece just to have a tiny piece of colonial history in my collection.

Mailman just delivered these two bills.

 

I really like the Martha note. The 1886 is much more expensive (at this grade) but I actually like the 1891 because it has Martha's name under her picture. I like where the two dates are placed as well. Matter of personal preference.

Both notes have wonderful eye appeal, and face up nicely...CONGRATS.

 

I was able to pick this up for face value from a young lady named Iguana Girl at the Where's George website. I collect serial #12 and different variations. My friend Bert, (grimreaper) was kind enough to PM me when he saw it.

Got this one yesterday, nothing too special, but I got it from a coworker for face since she was going to spend it!

Hi there, I am completely new to this section of the boards. I know nothing about collectible currency.

 

Question: At an estate sale this morning, I bought (for almost nothing) a small envelope of old foreign currency. I just thought it looked cool. Now I'm wondering: Is it worth anything (other than face value)? Are any of these notes rare, or are they fairly common among those who collect this sort of thing? Here is a pic:

Currencies include the Phillipines, Mexico, Canada, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and "Military Payment Certificates" for a whopping 5 cents. Many have no dates, but I saw 1949 on a few of them. I'm curious for any light you might shed on 'em. Thank you!

I couldn't tell you a thing about foriegn currency.

 

Probably best to start a thread and ask people that know about this sort of thing.

 

Even though most of the notes look pretty beat up, they do look cool.

my wife gave me the $2 bill below as a valentine days gift.

i always ask her for new crisp bills from the bank.

she said this is the only crisp bill they had.

lately i have not been able to get any new crisp bills at the bank.

they always say to come back at christmas time.

(the frog is on the holder, not the note, that would cost extra.)

Here are a few notes I got as a gift for helping a friend's grandfather sell some of his coins, a very thoughtful gift.

found a 2006 L series star note. reg # is 03743462. fairly well worn. not sure if it's worth much. cool tho.

Posted

bought my wife one of these at CPMX.

 

Speaked of Disney - I picked up what I think is rare a 2006 $5 Star from the L12 San Francisco District in my change from one of the food vendors at the Magic Kingdom last month. PMG is showing 0/0 for this series and district.

 

This is my 4th star note I have picked up at the Disney Parks in the last two years. A funny find but at the same time it's not so funny trying to keep the note clean the rest of the day.

 

Any ways, the 9th Ed. of the Standard Guide to Small Sized U.S. Paper Money shows a printing of 640,000 in "sheets" only. I checked the BEP store and they're not selling 2006 $5 star sheets for L12, any ideas? Did someone cut up some sheets? Should I send to PMG with my next batch of 50 notes - $15 worth it? Book value in UC is $75.

I would give the note a VF+/XF - still has some crispy feel w/ the edges not too bad.

great find, i can't find any new crisp bills, low numbers or stars in circulation.

 

from the websites, it looks like its from a sheet note.

just like you said. 20,000 sheets. printed in September 2008

i would hold on to it for awhile, before having it graded.

maybe you will find a better one. i'll be looking too.
