Very common and in poor condition. The associated history is not a good period for America.

 

Please explain.

 

Well, it is a low denomination note, of which large numbers were issued and found their way home with pocket junk, wheras a $1 might have been more worth digging out and spending, so it is common, and the dirt and folding make it poor condition.

 

It was a gift and not everything is in crisp condition, to its special to me. I thought it other members might look past condition and just enjoy it that's all.

 

It was an era of US history that brought a lot of change and the era that defined my generation , overall it was a very positive time in some areas . It was also the 1st war that was broadcast live every night in the US . It showed the valor of the soldiers and the realities of war at their best and worst like all wars .

 

That is why I like this hobby it's the history and stories that makes it fun and interesting. Thank You.

 

I also love a note that was used by our vets , I have a few that are MS and some used , I like them all . Great note from a very interesting time .

 

We all like to see whatever you have to post. I still have my Dad's national Defense Medal which he gave to me, never opened or used/worn.

 

I posted some war medals and this and it gives me a feeling inside more than any other normal coin, medal or money does when I look at them. Some are modern and I still have that feeling inside. It's respect.

 

It IS respect. I would never sell this medal anymore than I would sell my 1923 Peace dollar my grandmother gave me when I was 12 (48 years ago).

 

Do you get a feeling inside when you look at medals or see a vet at any age. I don't have to even know them it just happens to me. I posted some medals from my moms brother who was killed in WW II. He served on a ship and I have his purple heart. That I did not post.

 

I'm feeling so strong and proud inside for our vets and this country it gives me chills.

 

I love our VETS and all of our history. I also metal detect during good weather and when I find something, a coin, an old farm implement, or a old bottle, I sit down for a moment and relish the history. Who lost that coin, could they have been famous or just a poor farmer? Who threw out that old brush grubber and how long did they toil in the fields each day? And who threw away that old whiskey bottle and how drunk did they get sitting under that old oak tree where I found it? Lot of history everywhere you go. It IS an amazing feeling.

 

I agree .

 

I love metal detecting, treasure hunting it's in my blood and I did all the time and used to belong to the Yankee Territory Coin Shooters Metal Detecting Club. Then I developed a very bad case of Parkinson's disease that put me in a wheelchair and my metal detecting days and driving got cut short. I posted my best find in US thread a New Jersey Colonial copper, it's so worn but I dug it up across the street from my house about 8" in the ground. Look it up. Your friend Steve

 

This is a good club and some fine folks.

 

Here's some more World money. Enjoy

 

I wish the US would start using some color and anything but dead Presidents like these notes .

 

All the current US notes are colorized except the $1 and the $2.......and only five of the current seven US denominations are dead Presidents, Franklin ($100) and Hamilton ($10) were never President.
