Paper Money: New Acquisitions

Is it my eyes, or is that note just about perfect? Are you considering sending it out for grading?

Thank you, there are some very light folds, and a few other minor issues but all-in-all it is in really nice shape. The value is not worth the cost of grading. They are easy to get in higher grades at very reasonable prices. I paid less than $10 for this note.

 

Darryl:

Nice Peso Note....these were printed by the USA if I am not mistaken.
Should be the same ink as the Gold Notes ..if not mistaken as well.

I am not up much on these but it sure looks like it to me.

 

Face to Back Offset... This one is pretty light, probably midway before the ink is gone on the impression cylinder...
So far I like the PMG slabs over the PCGS, well at least the PCGS slab I got on that Back to Face error.
Hey anyone thought of doing a Currency Slab evolution website, and assign revisions? That would be cool! I know the coin slabs have a cult following. It would be supper nice to know if certain latter revisions would be worth getting a note reslabbed cause it's sealed better.
I can tell you that this PMG slab is 100% sealed, and the card is sealed in it's own area inside. That PCGS slab looked like it was not sealed at the top, and the card is on the outside and glued over the top. However I like what PCGS does on the sides. Feels very rough, and would make it tough for someone to cut it open and reseal it. You know how I am with these counterfeiters! You give-em an inch, and they'll take a mile, and we have to nip these guys and their shenanigans in the BUTT!
Because you can buy professional plastic sealer online for a very reasonable cost, I would like to see the PMG logo etched into the sealed area. That's of course if they are listening? Again I freaking digress LOL
Here you go;

 

Yea Rickie, I think a lot of these early 1900 Philippine notes where printed over here, and they are gorgeous! They take a lot of the lathe work from our notes. Freaking gorgeous and affordable to boot! Heck there is a chapter in the 'Standard Catalog of U.S. Paper Money 30th'! A lot of their early ones look like they use the same inks as our Technicolor Gold Certs! They even have some pre WW2 issues where they used blues instead of gold inks.
I would be all over them, if I wasn't trying to keep up with US notes! I did buy a bunch of those 1917 Costa Rica a little while ago. I think only paid a couple bucks each...


Hmmm, I might buy a bunch more, and give them to Internet friends for Christmas... You would think the Costa Rica note would be worth hundred it not thousands!

 

This note arrived yesterday.

 

Here is another note that arrived in the mail yesterday:



This is:

Thailand 1942-1945 [No Date] Second Issue, 5th Series 1 Baht
Serial Number: C/69 11882
Front: King Rama VIII full face at right, entrance to Wat Phumintr in Nan (Northern Thailand) at right, Garuda at upper center,
Back: Royal Palace, penalty for forgery printed at lower center
Printer: Misui Trading Company
Signature: 17 - Single signature of General Pao Pienlert Boripanyuthakit
Size: 123 x 65 mm

 

Clay, What is in the open dome-shaped space above the text of penalty for forgery on the reverse? I can see that the signature from the face falls in this region, but it looks open on the back for a watermark, is there a watermark in there? It's pretty intrusive to the design of the back if it hasn't some function.

 

Thanks for the observation — Yes, there is a watermark there. The watermark is the Constitution of Thailand on a tray resting on a pedestal.

 

Thanks for the detail. It's a nice looking note with both interesting architecture depicted and the note's design itself being rather appealing.

 

Just got these yesterday from Zach24 as part of the secret santa from last month.

 

My newest from one of my regular sellers on THE bAY!

 

Centerfold? It looks like it, but then it doesn't. Nice X block though.

 

Nice note, Ron. I agree, some of the ABNCo notes printed for other countries are very nice, with designs very similar to some of the US large size notes. At a fraction of the cost!

Dave

 

yes, oh so slight too

 

In today's mail is something unusual — Series 1976 $2 FRN with underinking of a single digit in the serial number:



In this enlargement of the serial numbers, a small amount of ink is seen in the upper right serial number:

 

A couple more acquisitions today, nothing major but I don't have either of these in my small notes type set. Love the older 28 series funny backs, the 28-A is an XF note (two folds, four sharp corners, and crisp).

 

Okay, that's got me a bit confused. What's the logic for both 7's to be underinked? Are they somehow connected in the printing process? It can't be a coincidence....

Nice note, by the way.
Dave

 

That is a very good question. I was also perplexed by that. In US Error Note Encyclopedia by Stephen M. Sullivan, the example of the error also affects the same digit in both serial numbers:



I hope someone can shed some light on this error.
