Paper Money: New Acquisitions

The North African notes are very attractive, I own a $1 note in a higher grade but you can pick these up in middle grades 30 to 45 range at decent prices. I really like buying currency in the middle grades that most collectors can afford including me !

Yes, you can get a nice looking high quality north african note like that for a reasonable price and you can't beat the way it looks with the yellow and blue seals.

 

1922 $20 Gold Certificate ~

 

1934-A $5 Mule Star Silver Certificate

 

Some sheets:

 

Nice $20.00 gold certificate would like to see the reverse side.

Nice un-cut sheets funkee, I alway's have liked them.

 

Here's another 1922 $20 Gold that I picked up. Lower Grade but what the heck! Probably a note graded in the 20 range.

 

And another $20 Gold in a lower grade, but right in my price range ~ . This note don't have any pinholes or rips, I just had to add it to my collection. Probably a note grading in the 15 range.

 

Curious as to why you keep buying the same note, even if in slightly different grades.

 

I have a soft spot for all Gold Certificates, and the last one was just way to cheap to pass up. These are the only $20 gold certs that I have, just 3 of them. You know how it is as a collector, you go to a show intending on buying 1 note and end up finding a few good bargains ~ .

At some point I will probably sell the 2 lower graded notes thus reducing the price for the 1 graded 25 note that I will keep.

 

My first fractional - nothing major but cool anyway.
Traded a with a co-worker...

 

We call these notes "The Grumpy" because of the look on Meredith's face. I have 10+ at our shop.

 

What can you tell me about it?

 

Fractional notes came up during the Civil War, "The Grumpy" is the face of Secretary of Treasury William M. Meredith, 5th issue Fractional Currency dated February 26, 1874 to February 15, 1876 in denominations of 10 cent,25 cent and 50 cent.

 

Here's some info on Meredith if you're interested:

Nice gold certificates. Still dont own a single one :/

 

The first time I got: Seven-Of-A-Kind - New 100$ bill - Looks great !
Seven-Of-A-Kind - In a seven-of-a-kind serial number, seven digits are all the same

.

 

Thanks - that's great info!
I may have to get more in to them...

 

I received a new note today — A star note with a misalignment of the green over-print.
