I picked up a few FRBN Stars and other selected treasures. Sorry I am late posting these. My focus has been directed to obtaining collector rarities besides notes that are just darn good looking. I have been on a mission with the small FRBN Stars for a couple years now. Along those lines, I wanted to add that for the Large Legal Tenders shown above, for type set collectors there are other Fr. #s that are more plentiful and are not considered as rare. The signiture combinations for these are more rare.... As far as "bang for the buck" I considered these note to be much more worthy than buying a Large Silver Certifcate 1923 Fr. 239. ie.... Fr. 143 $20 1880 Legal Tender PMG Choice Very Fine 35. Track & Price lists 81 known pieces for this Friedberg number. PMG has seen 13 of them, four at this level and above, and nine below. The highest seen by PMG is an About Uncirculated 55. Fr. 145 $20 1880 Legal Tender PMG Very Fine 25. This is a scarce Friedberg number with a census population in the low 60's and with this being the second highest of only six pieces graded by PMG. This scarcity is further borne out by the fact that we have never had more than one example in any of our 51 floor auctions going back to 1990. Jeff Jeff
Wow - very nice - I really-really like the VF35 1880 $20 and the 1918 $2 - I'd love to see the reverse of both... Congrats!
Thanks guys, Here are 2 other "battleships" I have, they are a bit more tough to get. The 64 is one of the top 10 graded for that Fr. # Jeff FYI - I now have 4 1850-J*s. (FRBN $5 KC Star) and 2 complete denomination sets of FRBN Stars from KC. I am working on a Chicago - $20 is tough...almost had one last week....and just about finsihed with a NY and Cleveland denomination set.
Jeff... I know for a fact that at a 64 Grade that note goes for around 4K plus change! I bet ya Urban is lickin his chops about now...LOL... When I bought mine I paid $3200.00 WOW and the price is still going up!! RickieB
lol yeah that is an understament. gimme gimme. those are way out of my ballpark anyways. i will have to stick with small sized notes for now:headbang:
Very Nice Notes. Personally I like the $20 stars- very low serials and still in pretty good condition!
