NewB....Unless I'm shooting macro on a note vignette ,I find a scanner does a nice job .

 

Conner1 and NewB...NICE notes. They both face up nicely, and I love the big blue seal on the funnyback.

 

Scanner is much cheaper than the SLR

Thanks Conner, I honestly never thought about the scanner, I sure will give it a shot and maybe crop it after.

 

The scanner works great.......Same note, better details....I may start saving all of the notes electronicly...get them ready for ebay.

 

Wow - Star web notes, mules, funnybacks, gold certs.... all great notes!!! what's next?

yeah looking at it after I rec'd it, looks a lot better the AU - certainly not Gem, but closer to Unc

 

NewB, much better.... nice notes you posted . you don't buy like a new b to paper. nice !

 

Fractional Notes

Thanks everyone for your comments and Conner, NewB to this forum for me and I'll grade myself as apprentice to collecting. I'm just the owner of this collection, not the creator.....it belonged to my deceased father inlaw and I'm learning out of necessity. The notes I'm displaying are for sale and in order to find their value to a collector I must become one. I wish I had the time to enjoy them more, unfortunatly my real job is much more demanding. Retirement is growing close though if the Lord is willing.

Well more eye candy.......Fractional notes......Well circulated ones at that.

 

I didn't know I could only post 5 pics a post.......Here's the 50c reverse.

 

Foreign Note Eye Candy

Here is a couple of his foreign notes...very diverse collection.

 

Now I Can Retire

I can't even find this one in the "Red" book.....It don't matter, face value is good enough for me............I wish it was real.

JUST FOR FUN!!!!



More to come........Stay Tuned

 

Only problem is that if it were true anytime soon, it would probably mean our economy was suffering hyper-inflation and we'd have even more varieties of notes to try to collect, plus they'd rapidly become obsolete as well!

 

I can see it now.......Bubble Gum 1,000,000+tax....Sugar free so not to offend Health Care. Actually the government will have already forced everyone to implant the ID chip and currency will be totally obsolete. We'll be collecting old I-phones and I-pads.....LOL.

 

I will refuse to collect them haha
