tryppyr-migration Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I've recently developed an interest in obsolete currency and broken banknotes. A quick scan of the Paper Money forum on this site shows no topics that hit on those subjects. Am I missing something? Here's an example of the sort of thing that appeals to me: Does PMG offer a grading service for this sort of note? Or am I forever doomed to carry my notes in "raw" condition? Does anyone else share an interest in broken banknotes and obsolete currency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignatureSelect Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I collect. Obsoletes aswell. I find them to be interesting and unless they are in extremely high grade they are reasonable to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryppyr-migration Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Do you have a particular focus? Or are you all over the map? In my case, I'm currently focused in two areas... places of interest (i.e. places I have lived or have family in) and "recycled" obsolete currency from the Civil War. Here's an example of the "recycled" currency: - Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryppyr-migration Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 For anyone that is interested, I've set up a web site and message board focused on obsolete currency and broken banknotes You can find it at http://brokenbanknotes.com/bbnmb. I've been collecting information there, and welcome anyone who wants to join. I'm trying to add new content regularly, and invite any discussion on the subjects.

Conder101 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I like the obsoletes and I would imagine tht some day I will start collecting them, but not right now. I do believe PMG grades obsoletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryppyr-migration Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Yes, I've noticed PMG-graded obsoletes on eBay... I just didn't see it listed as one of the categories of currency on the population report, or on the list of categories that could be graded.
