Well good morning everyone, it's 2010. Happy New Year!! What is your New Years Resolution Note for 2010? Post it if you will... While a Big Dream of mine is the Fr.164 in XF-40 or above it is a note that I will save for to obtain this year. It would become the #1 Note in my collection, the pinnacle of all notes that I own in XF..
two to three new large size notes (examples I don't already own) in xf or better. This is easily obtainable ~ so no excuses. Your image didn't show up but I am sure it is another incredible note!
That's a great note and keep it mind when you see others for sale as your "saving" yourself for that one
Let's see... I'm going to complete my collection of Thai notes for the 60+ year reign of King Rama IX (with the exception of two or three notes that are almost unattainable -- One is a 500,000 Baht commemorative note with 9,999 printed. The other two are also commemorative notes with a printing of 6,000 - 7,000). Thailand Paper Money Collection http://www.panix.com/~clay/currency/Thailand.html Cambodia, Lao, Viet Nam, and Bhutan are not far behind: Asia Paper Money Collection http://www.panix.com/~clay/currency/Asia.html After that, I would like to work on collecting the incredibly beautiful notes from French Indo-China.
I have so many notes I'd like to have in my collection, it's ridiculous. I shop more on the model of "if something shows up that I need, I better grab it" philosophy, though. So there isn't a list of specific notes I can plan to get in 2010. Good luck to everyone in 2010, I hope you find what you want! Dave
I have already accomplished mine. I said I would wake up to clean dishes when I crawled out of bed on Jan 1st so I washed the dishes before I went to bed. I feel really good about myself now.
Rickie, I'm not that knowledgable on notes. Is it just a $50 note from 1880? Was curious in case I happen to spot one at one of the dealers around here. Chuck
I don't really have one, but if pressed for an answer, it would be a $5 North Africa Emergency note. Eventually I want to get all the denominations of the North Aftrica Emergency, I think it was only the 1, 5 and 10? I have not looked through my reference books in a while. I actually know where there is one that I can afford and I am thinking about...it would be the most I've ever spent on a note but it is a nice condition one, perhaps too nice. Not that it's been messed with, just that it would outclass the $1 I have that was brought home from WWII by one of my 4 relatives who served! Right now my dream note would be a USN (red seal) $100. I could do it but it would probably triple, or more, the most I've ever spent on any numismatic item, face value is double the most I've ever spent.
I got one of those in change a few years ago...not real nice condition but it was a keeper! Not that S/N of course!! Wow great note btw
