Nice addition Dave & Steve.

 

Got a $100 series 2009 crisp from the casino today with a low serial number How low is considered low and worth something to a collector

It's
LB 00003313 D

 

Yeah, that's a low enough number to carry a small premium. If it's uncirculated, you can probably make some profit.

Unfortunately, the high face value means high fees when you sell on eBay. 10% goes to eBay and 2.9% to PayPal. That means you need to sell it for at least $114.81 to break even.

 

Yeah, So not really sure if its worth the time. I could put it on ebay at 115$ and just see what happens I guess. Don't know if its worth it yet or not.

 

I just got back to the US last week and finally got my new notes scanned in. I gotta say, We are doing something wrong here...Hope you all enjoy.

 

Here is one piece for my actual Type Collection I am working on:


And here are a couple of fun checks i picked up. Probably like $15 for all 4, or somewhere around that price.





This one was just too fun not to buy, especially for the price

 

Lovely notes furryfrog02.

 

Thanks!

 

The time has come. The scanning is done. And my newps will be unleashed unto this thread... let us begin.

Continuing my march toward having a 1776 note from the original 13 colonies, this VF South Carolina is pretty snazzy.

 

Visited the BEP in Fort Worth recently and picked this up.

 

Here's a new bunch of notes coming my way. Thought they were interesting.

 

I'm going to count my last note as being from yesterday, which means I need to post a new pickup today...

Here's another of the popular and ornately engraved Canal Bank series, any time you get a fancy printed back on an obsolete it's a bonus, and the CB notes never disappoint. The faces are not slouches either...

 

Today's new pickup is a neat Brazilian item that is really a circulating bond - it paid 7% interest. Alas, inflation well outpaced that and hence, there are alot of remainders of this note. Great front design elements and color, which we expect from ABNCo...

 

Nice ones, MEC2

 

Does anyone know of any holders to protect these large checks?

They are bigger than standard large currency

 

Denly's has holders big enough for almost anything.

 

I've had the same issue with some of my checks and stock certificates. I have some old stock pages for stamps that work pretty well, but I haven't bought any lately. I haven't worked on my stamp collection in ages.

 

Today's new pickup is an early 1919 Czechoslovakia note, so early in face that it's really a reissued Austria-Hungary note with a validation stamp attached. Notice the date, 1913. Hmmm, trying to think, what happened in Austria-Hungary around that time...

 

My next new get, is this $50 obsolete remainder from the Bank of Augusta. Anytime you throw a great big eagle on a note, you'll get my attention. These obsoletes are often on very fine, very thin paper, and that's led me to try to do some scans using a white background to get the paper contrast to really show and not look mottled.
