    It is a Light Green Seal and says so on the label. LGS = Light Green Seal.

    Like we've talked about, you get some PMG 40-58 graded notes that APPEAR nicer at 1st glance than some of your notes in the low-60's.

    It's upon closer examination that you might find a slight fold or crease or other defect in the paper. Somebody here showed a bill lit at an angle and it showed like 10-12 wrinkles that you didn't see with light straight-on.

    I think my brain is fried from the market volatility and the Super Bowl. :D

    Thanks, Endeavor !

    I really like the 50 - 58 grade as i said before very few issues on the surface and great eye appeal :)

    For the money -- assuming money is an issue -- it might be the best bang for the buck.

    If you can pay up for PMG 64 or 65 (66 ?) bills that look nice margin-wise, then you can bypass the terrible margins you often see on low-60's notes.

    2017 $1 Radar: 6334....4336. Superb Gem Quality....you can pick these up for $30 or so. I notice that lately Heritage is pairing up modern Radar and Repeaters for sale together.

    For you newcomers to paper/currency collecting, HA does have some affordable and inexpensive nice modern bills with some unique serial numbers.

    I was recently gifted this huge 1914 Russia 100 Rubles note. It's in poor condition but it was free and still cool to add to the collection.

    $2017 $1 Repeater: Here's the other bill that came with the radar. 6334....6334. The 2 bills must have been produced in close proximity to one another and immediately grabbed/stored, but this bill "only" scored a 67.

    Just arrived today. An Fr.2306 in midgrade condition with original paper and no distractions. This note was the first place prize in a monthly contest on a different forum. I am blessed.

    I think they should switch around the 64 and 65 grade, as the 65,s are allot
    less desirable.

    $1970 MPC: I picked this up when I got outbid on a 1968 that had a nice-looking woman on the front. Still teed off I lost out, but you have to be disciplined. There will be more to bid on.

    Where did you find bills from Paraguay, End ?

    I saw 1 or 2 dealers at FUN selling currencies from South American countries.
