    I love these old notes and while this one isn't in very good shape, and might be given a thumbs down by serious collectors, I'd certainly be happy to have it in my collection. Did you acquire this note, or thinking about it?

    Very cool. I've never seen one of these notes before.
    I prefer coins and notes that have seen some circulation. I think it adds to the history.

    What is there to stop you? Overall, the 1914 $5, $10, $20 blue seal Federal Reserve Notes aren't all that cost-prohibitive. If I recall correctly I only paid $130 for both notes back in 2011.

    Back when I was 11 years old, that is where most of my accumulated birthday money went.

    When I was 11 I certainly wasn't thinking about coins/bills unfortunately. Now I have a wife, 2 dogs, 3 kids, 4 cats, and a house to worry about. My budget is pretty limited.

    I got this from my grandfather 25 years ago.

    That’s where the true value lies.

    I can certainly thank my grandfather for fostering my interest in numismatics at that age.

    Despite the wear that's a great bill and getting it from your grandfather makes it that much better!

    Wow. That is a great memory to have. If it were mine, I'd send it to PMG to be encapsulated, not caring about a grade, and then frame and hang it for all to see. When they asked me about it, I'd relate the story of how and why grandpa gave it to me.

    @Bradley Trotter, what are we seeing on your $10 note, just below Mellon’s signature ? Is that light spot on the note or the sleeve ?

    If I recall correctly @SteveInTampa, that would be the remains of a sticker the dealer had on the holder.

    Edit: These photos are rather old. A few months after I took these pictures, I sent these notes off to PCGS Currency as part of the membership voucher I received for my 16th birthday.
