kbsig106 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 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 http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f2006qq.html http://www.moneyfactory.gov/images/BOSRFRNP_Sep2008.pdf i would hold on to it for awhile, before having it graded. maybe you will find a better one. i'll be looking too. Thank you for the links - I wonder why someone would cut the sheets and then circulate the notes. Who the sheets sold to and so one.... Being from Disney, it could have very well come from a West Coast visitor... hmmm Going to keep an look out as well. Thanks again!
StrangeTones-migration Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Found a $100 1963 A series star note in very nice shape at the restaurant I work at on Saturday.
kbsig106 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 WoW - wish the mailman would bring nice notes like this to my house.
GW Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 jonruns those $500's are really nice. my are just VF.
HiHoAudio Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 That $500 note is a real beauty. I recall a summer day in 2002, I was at a coin shop near my house just chatting with the owner (I was in a band with him at the time) when a gentleman that he knew well walked in and sold him twenty consecutive $500 bills, all in mint condition. He paid the man a fair price and then sold 15 of them to a buyer in Florida on the phone. AFAIK he still has the other five. I would be more than happy with just one.
Steve in Tampa Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Jonruns, your 1934$500 LGS is GORGEOUS !! Got these earlier in the week. I've been looking for CH-CU examples of these for over a year now, and the prices have been soaring. The paper is totally original, and bright. They look to have 64 centering.
jonruns-migration Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 Steve -- Those experimental notes are super nice. I just don't see many out there. There are supposedly star versions too but I have never seen one.
jtryka Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Posted April 16, 2011 I usually save all the old small head notes I get, and today helping out at the coin club show I bought the top 2 from the cash box, a 1993 $20 and a 1995 $10. Then I bought something for $15 from one of the dealers, handed him a $20 bill and my change was the bottom one! Probably not worth any more than I paid for it, but still not bad for face!
Steve in Tampa Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 My latest purchase from Scott Lindquist. I've been looking for a decent one of these for over 2 years.
123cents Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 Nice notes everyone! I had a Lincoln "Porthole" note but sold it because I needed the money about 3 years ago. Just bought this replacement.
GW Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 great lincoln note. Hope to add one myself someday.
dean1345 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Looks like a clean VF-20 note. Love the portholes.
dean1345 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Looks like a clean & crisp VF-20 note. Nice pickup! Edited May 15, 2011 by dean1345
Steve in Tampa Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Found in circulation by a member of CoinTalk, and made him an offer. This note is a hard find in any condition. PMG shows a total of 14 graded.
Steve in Tampa Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 I collect serial #12 in all forms, and this star deuce caught my eye;
JIM F. Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 Here's my recent purchase http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae317/jimbucks/1882_gold_100_obv.jpg
jtryka Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Posted September 11, 2011 I just got this one in the mail yesterday, a gift from a friend in Germany:
mtnstyne Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Nice allied currency! working on a set myself. Picked up these MPC's at a show on Saturday. and I got 5 silver certificates as change from one dealer.... Nothing special but was surprised when I looked a them. Edited September 12, 2011 by mtnstyne
TheWatcher Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 This is my first foray into currency of any kind, so I'm like a little kid at Xmas time. I've spent almost all of my life collecting comics, dabbling in a few other hobbies along the way. I've always been fascinated by the design of things, whether it be Art Deco posters or 1896 Silver Certificates. That's why notgelds struck a chord. Simply wonderful images and designs and they're incredibly cheap What's not to love? 1922 Attendorn 2 Marks 1922 Attendorn 3 Marks 1922 Attendorn 4 Marks 1922 Attendorn 5 Marks
Steve in Tampa Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 Just arrived yesterday. It's an upgrade from two P-C notes (55EPQ & 58EPQ) that are already in my collection. This example is CH-CU
