    Today's new note is this dynamite obsolete $20 from the Phoenix Bank in Georgia. This represents an upgrade of an existing note for me, loved the design so grabbed the first I could find, then watched for a really nice version. This note series seems really common to find with serious ink gall, guess a combination of this paper and the ink they used to sign just made it really likely. Who cares cause I just love the design...

    I'm sorry, what is ink gall?

    Iron gall ink is a purple-black ink, that turns a rusty-brown color over time.

    Is there a reverse (or is it blank) ?

    I'm not an obsolete note collector per se, but when I see one of these with a low price I just sort of pull the trigger.

    No back on that note - the front is enough...

    Today's new pickup, one of the last for a month (I know...), is this cut up sheet remainder $1 obsolete note from Citizens' Bank in Louisiana. A very common note, and yet still sought after due to the fine engraving of those chaps at ABNCo., the Louisiana remainders are very popular and collectible, such as techwriters note above...

    Came today.... but Its a gift for a friend. Might get one for me. One of the coolest notes under ultra violet light, I've seen. I think if no one else wants to, I am going to start a thread on UV lighted pics of world banknotes.
