:thumb: i agree 100% a nice note too! Just how did you get it to float in mid-air while you took the picture?
Nice! Can't beat $50 for one of those. Doesn't look too damaged either, apart from those stains on Martha's face. I don't see any tears or anything. It's just well-worn. Very cool. I'm always amazed at how well some of these old notes have held up... that one was obviously circulated and used all over the place, and yet here it is over 110 years later, still in one piece. I picked up a few things in Baltimore last weekend, I'll see if I can get them in the scanner tonight.
Cool Here are pics of some of mine I got. Wondering if these first couple are even worth keeping? high run but interesting serial number. Worth keeping? run of 320 k...worth it? interesting serial number but not really a radar? worth it? and my for sure keepers cause they have to be worth at least a couple bucks!
the $5, yes - its a star The $100's - i would keep the star if i could affiord it, the other is a spender the $1's can still be obtained from most any bank. Unless they are from a small print run - spend them The $10 i would keep - its a star Edit - just read the $100 star is a small print run - i wuld keep it.
Sorry for what might be an obvious question to the rest of you. Can someone tell me what the category of notes this is. Would it just be considered an early issue from a private back? If I were to search for more of this general type, what would I put in the search space? Thanks.
If I know who you were, I would send you some sleeves to protect those notes in. Or did you take them out of their protective sleeve for photographing?
right now they are just in a money holder from my bank. I have some sleeves for the singles I'll get them in in a little bit but not sure how to store the pack?
I ended up setting my pack of 80 consecutive two dollar bills in a red box currency holder. (My consecutives are just regular 2003 - no stars).
Yeah, "National Bank Notes". ("Merchants National Bank" is the name of the bank that issued that one that I posted.) There are multiple types, both large-size and small-size. The one I posted is from the "third charter period", series 1902.
