Paper Money: New Acquisitions

Great star! I can check track & price for the lowest serial number later today.

While scanning the $1 red seal, it I noticed a very small edge split that will void it of any pq grade. Too bad.

I have newps but work has ground my energy out of me. I am mustering strength though to post this new pickup, a great Chester note from a bank I have not had an example from before. This makes three out of the four Chester banks in Pennsylvania...

 

I found C00157344* and C00160140* in Track & Price. Sorry.

 

Mec: Should we assume your real name is Chester? Someone near and dear? I like the sigs on the note, they are interesting...


Funkee: Thanks for checking that out for me. I knew it would be a lower serial but I doubted it was the lowest. I am still happy!




This is not something I usually buy but I am an OK native and this one is top quality and inexpensive so I had to buy it :

 

I will give you a guess as to what the initials stand for. I think one letter ought to make alot of sense...

But enough about my last new pickup, what about my newest pickup? Well, I have acquired some more obsoletes, I do like the Canal Bank notes, alot of engraving, affordable, and colorful backs which are not common at all on obsoletes, those one sided wonders...

 

Another uncirculated Peoria note. This isn't going to come back 67 or 68 like the other one, but very clean. Slightly rounded corners will probably bring it down to 63. Still gorgeous and a great price. (Warning huge image)

 

1872 $1 STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA (REVENUE BOND SCRIP) PMG 64 EPQ

Picked this up on I-collector for about $100 less than I have seen a PMG64 sell. Don't know much about the note though.

 

Today's new pickup is a bit of a gear change, a modern era Costa Rica 10 Colones note, in mint condition. I really liked the engraving of the reverse, and of course the quality shows when it's an ABNCo note, as this one is. And I am a sucker for vivid color, blue in particular. One of the few later year Central American notes that I like, and glad I got it. The front is sort of a Hispanic Oscar Goldman...

 

Today's new get is another new obsolete pickup, from the always popular Canal Bank - great designs and the mere presence of a reverse makes these great notes, and their abundance makes them affordable. Great front design here with the Washington and Franklin, and the eagle on the reverse is a bonus to be sure...

 

Are there any collectors for old obsolete paper food stamps? I have some that I found in a storage unit.

 

There are a couple collectors here but I suggest you start a new thread.

 

And let's keep the obsolete them going with today's new pickup. While it doesn't have a reverse, it has enough engraving on the front for two sides... this has more findable cherubs than a puzzle in Highlights magazine...

 

I am back to continue THREAD DOMINATION with another new get, and let's keep the obsoletes rolling with this $5 Citizens' Bank. I really like this design, the paper is thin so the scan tends to grab the opposite side design through but in hand it happens less, alot of fine engraving and I really like the subtle, delicate FIVE in red script on the front. And a reverse on an obsolete is a bonus, a blue one is doubly so. Real nice, and not hard to get, obsolete...

 

Today's new pickup is a roughy but a toughy - Burke Glass is a rarer sig combination, and on Dallas that's definitely true. This note is a bit rough but has that special sig combo. I got this note as part of a group so I actually will likely end up turning it over (have a nicer BG) but I still like to show it...

 

Today's new get is one of the more well known notes from Mexico, the Gypsy (though it is actually an engraving of an Algerian girl) with the Victory statue in Mexico City on the reverse. Another great engraving design, and pop of color from the nice folks at ABNCo... and in great condition to boot.

 

Today's new get is another new obsolete, and yet another from the Canal Bank, and yet another with a reverse, cause when I guy a note, I like to get printing on both sides... makes me feel like I got my money's worth.

 

MEC I really liked the obsoletes with the hiding Cherubs...


Today I found a couple interesting obsolete pieces (notice the low serials):




and I scored a great deal on this Colonial piece: (I may sell this one)

 

Well if you didnt like my new obsolete/fractionals or my colonial, maybe you will enjoy my new 50 Cent Lincoln Fractional. A solid VF example that I am happy to have!!!

 

Awesome! King of fractionals in my book. Unfortunately I have yet to find one reasonably priced.

 

Damn this thread is on life support AGAIN. I just haven't had the gusto to post... but it looks like post I must. Oh and I do like your colonial there TT... got me one to post soon to, though I am still stuck two colonies away for my 1776 collection...

We talked about this note a few pages back, and mentioned it was high on my get list due to it's spectacular design. Well, I got it... Fifty Korun, designed by Alfons Mucha, and it's in real nice condition too, which I really wanted for this note. Love the beautiful, vivde red and I really do like his artwork, it has a definite style that is identifiable as his own. Of course, the workers paradise reverse betrays a little bit of misplaced idealism about certain forms of government, which would eventually come home to roost in Czechoslovakia, but we'll overlook that in the name of art...
