Here's another for the group.:bigsmile:

Held out for a long time before I bought this one but when a 67 popped up for sale, well... The issued note is harder to find in UNC condition and more $$$.

These arrived today - a nice diversion while I wait a bit longer for my 15 newly-graded checks to arrive.

I saw the P-91e ending with no bids. It upgrades my old P-91 that is 66 EPQ in my competitive set and they're different sub-types so they now coexist in my signature set.

After I won that, since the seller combines shipping, I got this P-110b to go next to my P-110a in the sig set. I will likely try to have a 109a/b and 111a/b pair, just for fun. Getting 2-3 varieties is one thing but getting 8-10 varieties of each Fuertes note feels too intimating,

Forgot to mention this but with combined shipping I only paid $51.98. $25.99 each for 68 EPQs.

Even more excellent! Shipping costs make a difference and will influence my bidding and buying habits, $5 - $6+ off a note is enough to turn me into a frugal/compulsive shopper. hm

Now those are some words that don't normally go together, but I'm the same.

That was the main driver in me just biting the bullet and getting those 5 soberano notes all at once for $124. Getting them together cut the shipping by $16 vs getting them one at a time - almost paid for a note!

Hello. I'm new to pmg. Not new to collecting US paper or coins though. I just received this today. I am thinking about getting it professionally graded. The only distraction that I can see is the off center reverse. 2nd issue 10 cents #1244.

Hello and welcome to the Forum,

I'm not familiar with these but I did a quick search of sold listings and it looks like it would need to grade in the 63 - 64 range to offset the grading fees, assuming you paid a fair price for it, asking prices for these graded 63 - 64 are around the $120 - $170 range on ebay. I agree that the centering on the reverse is the biggest issue I see but the  picture of the front is a little blurry. It's tough to tell condition of a note based solely on pictures as lighting and the angle of the shot can hide things. That being said, overall it looks like a really clean note and one that might be worthy of grading. If the notes condition is actually as good as it seems in the pictures I don't think the reverse centering will hold the note back too much, maybe one grade level. Based on those pics I'd say it's right in that 62 - 64 range. If you get a chance, you should start a new thread for this note and post a few more pics. You'll get more feedback if you start a separate thread for this note otherwise It'll get buried in this one and people might not see it.

Seriously though, if you want to trade just let me know. (thumbsu

While I am distinctly disgusted with my luck :frustrated:I can't say it's something that overly concerns me or interests me enough to have both of us spending money on shipping over. Thanks for a very kind offer though.

I bought the note for the upgrade and I didn't really take note of the AB until after I ordered. 

Prior to this the highest note I'd seen an AB on was a 500 Million P-82. This had lead.me to think ABs didn't exist above this point. That note you have suggests they exist for P-83 through P-85 at least. I still doubt it on the Trillions but I'm willing to be proven wrong if I ever see an AB 10 Trillion.

Now go set a challenge for yourself of building an AB set while I just sit here with my matched set of AAs. :devil:

lol Pass.

Although with short sets like this one, consisting of only 5 notes, it's tempting to assemble sets by prefix.

I think the next thing I'd be inclined towards for building out "Gradually, then Suddenly," Would be adding more contemporary (2009-2018) notes from South Africa, Botswana and the other countries that made up the multi-currency period.
