Paper Money: New Acquisitions

Rarity is but one variable in calculating a coin's or a bill's value to the collector. I've paid more than the going price for coins and bills because I wanted that coin or bill. Besides, other than in collections the $2 bill is very scarce.

It's probably no secret that I'm a big fan of most everything collectible pumped out by the BEP Money Store. Everything including Intaglio prints, Anniversary Editions, Generations sets, Designs in Motion sets, Double & Triple Deuce sets, and especially Lucky Money and Prosperity notes. I finally completed my set of 4-subject sheets of the 1995 $5 Prosperity notes. Blocks only available in sheet form were H-D, H-E, H-F, H-G, H-I, H-J, and H-K. Most of the sheets were readily available 2-3 years ago except H-F and H-G. I found the H-F sheet back in 2011, and finally found the H-G sheet last week.

 

1934 $5 Star Note
I don't know if it is a wide or narrow or if it is a mule.

 

Just a regular 1934. Not a mule, back number needs to be 939 or higher. Wide/Narrow varieties started with '34C and D.

 

Thanks Timewarp for the info. ~ its still a nice 1934 $5 Star. I just bought it and do not have it in hand yet.

 

I have a slight backlog of notes to scan before I can post my new pickups...



That's about 7 inches of stack to scan...

 

Show me that Dayton national.

More currency porn please.

 

Fancy serial numbers

This lime green 4-digit serial 1934 $50 star should be easy on the eyes, as far as currency porn is considered!

This one caught my eye and I am very pleased to now welcome it into my collection. I never thought walking into a very small coin and currency show, that was set up in a Denny's restaurant banquet room, that I would find this.

I didn't want to leave without it and I'm glad I didn't.

 

A new Obsolete, love the green and the boat!

 

Great note! Looks to be extremely high grade. It might be worth submitting it.

 

Thanks funkee, very wavy! My only concern is the bend pointing 10 o'clock directly left of the 2 on the reverse. You can see it in the pic.

 

Just got these two. The gold one is a little beat but I liked it anyway.

Oh yeah. I missed that at first. It might knock the grade down to 63 at most, maybe as low as 60. Wouldn't be worth grading it then.

 

Those are a fairly common hand cut remainder (ask me how I know...) so I'd probably not bother with grading, even in choice condition, you'll just end up underwater based on the notes worth. It is a nice design - big, quality engraving (ABNCo of course), a color overprint, a vignette of a boat (or a train/eagle/flag/cannon), those hit several of my obsolete want markers...

 

Picked these up for really, really cheap at an auction the other night. Nothing special, but I like WWII stuff and I am pretty these are all from that time period and mostly Japanese replacement notes.

 

Many of you have probably seen the thread on bank checks -- https://www.cointalk.com/threads/19th-century-intaglio-checks.108341/?highlight=bank+checks

I thought I'd post my latest catch here, from the First National Bank of Hopkinton, Rhode Island. Love the engraved vignettes on this one -- I know I've seen that eagle on several other obsolete bank notes.

 

Got hold of the complete notes catalog of Chile with colour pics and prices. Turns out to be a rather popular thing here. Will see how far I can get with it before I leave. Added a odd 50 notes last week in Santiago. Will make for a nice discussion up North.

 

Here are my most recent currency purchases:

[1st and 2nd pictures]
-1914 $5 that has been torn and taped, unfortunately.
-1934 $1 "Funnyback"
(I got those 2 together for $25)
-1874 10 Cents Fractional Currency with the green seal. Not in the greatest condition, but it's my first of that type with the green seal.

[3rd and 4th pictures]
-2009 CU $1 and 1935 $1 with matching serial numbers. The 1935 is a short snorter! Again, not in the greatest condition, but I thought it was an interesting set and bought them.
