Paper Money: New Acquisitions

I really don't like them — They aren't as thick and stiff as the more contemporary holders and they're wider (9½ inches wide versus 8½ inches for the contemporary holders). I'll probably send them in to PCGS and have them re-holdered.

I tend to favor PMG over PCGS due to holder issues you and Steve just mentioned. I also like that they are smaller overall, so for me it is easier to store them.

 

I like the second generation PMG holders, but the blueish tint of the film bothers me a little.

 

I picked this up at a currency show on Friday of this week. I finally have taken some pictures.

 

Another Light Green Seal.

 

very nice notes

 

Here's something different! I picked it up from the Post Office this morning.



It has the "Apparent" designation for the minor rust stain:

 

Cool error note Clay. Were you expecting the "Apparent" designation, or are you surprised ?

 

I was expecting it. The minor stain bothers me less than the poor registration — The front has a narrow bottom margin, but the back is almost centered with even margins.

I've seen plenty of mismatched digits in serial numbers, but this is the first time I ever saw mismatched prefixes.

 

I do know that the 1976 'B' to 'H' is a well known scarce error. Nice error note!

 

I bought the $10s and $5 off craigslist for $50. I got the $1 in change. I'm not a bill collector, by any measure, but I figured if someone needed the money, I could try to help them out. One of the $10s has a mark on it, which I'd guess makes it worth... $10. Maybe I overpaid, but I look at it this way: I paid $35 for a VG/F $10 Hawaii note and got a PR $10 Hawaii note and a $5 silver cert for face.

 

IMO, you got a good deal... Either that, or I got totally ripped off last time I purchased a HA note... Nice face finds on the $1 and $5 though!!

 

That's an incredible note Saltysam! IMO some of the best southern obsoletes came out of Louisiana...

How about a '34A Silver Cert

 

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay and what condition was your note?

 

I think this error is amazing Clay! Little surprised at the apparent grade for the minute rust stain, but it shouldn't hinder re-sale value too much.

 

Steve, what is it we have here?

 

I'm not Steve, but it is a Fort Worth Face Plate 106 Error — The "106" is much larger than other plate numbers.

 

Oh okay. Thanks for the info. Is is a more common type error or is it more on the scarcer side?

 

Thanks Clay....you're right.
You can find it on the internet, or another good reason to own/read currency guides. :dead-horse:
