What is your collection or most expensive coin worth?

Do bears live in the woods...LOL

Indeed it is, you see all4U, Paper Money unlike coins have a much less a chance of survival. A rare piece of paper can cost thousands of not 10's of thousands....

Here are a few examples from my collection for you to research...
Also please feel free to join in on the Paper Money forum at anytime...

Hope you enjoy these...

These are known as Large Size Legal Tenders "Brown Seals"
Not the most expensive but reasonable in certain terms:










This is a Legal Tender $20:




A $10 Jackass Note:



And a Type Set of Large Size Blue Seals:











Just a few to wet your interest's.

These are some of the really special notes out there..but not top notch as they are very expensive.

Geeze, RickieB.... everytime you post your bills I see my budget fly out the window!:crying:

Those bills are gorgeous!

 

The bills are nice but, I'd kill to own some of the plates made to print them and to meet the steady hand that engraved them.

 

Thanks folks for the kind remarks..I appreciate it very much.

So all4u, there is another side of currency as well. Many folks here specialize in Fed Bank Notes...the small size notes are more affordable but yet some are just as difficult to find...for me I collect notes from the NY District...

Here is a set that took 4 years to assemble: Series 1934 C Star Notes all in CHCU condition. The 2 different $20's represent plate changes on the reverse of the notes..old back and new back, you can see the differences.
The key note here is the $50 and the 2 different $20's. In this case, the new back $20 is the highest recorded SN listed in the S/L Small Size Paper Money Edition #8

Careful mon ami......Hercule Peroit is watching. :smile

 

"... I have made enough money to satisfy both my needs and my caprices. I take only such cases now as interest me, and to be frank, my interest in your case is, uh... dwindling."

 

It's funny because I just realized that some of those bills look familiar, and then I remembered, my father has some of those in his collection in Puerto Rico! I completely forgot about those, but they are more of a collection than an investment.

 

I can't say how much it's worth, b/c I really don't want the whole world wide web to know. That said, I have coins in my collection that are total garbage to another collector but family jewels to me.

I guess you could say I'm "reticent to divulge such information". thanks physics fan, nice way to put it.

 

Well I have massed a great collection of coins.
As of today I have 256 graded (NGC or PCGS) coins in my collection.
Plus more dansco albums and proof set than I can count.
I don't know the value of my whole collection but the value of my graded coins is 30K+.

 

30K?!?! PM me what you do for a living and how I can get in to it. Just kidding, but darn, that has got to be a huge collection.

 

Rickie, you evil evil man!! To so willingly lure some poor new collector into the bottomless pit of currency. I was once a coin man, then this place got me into paper and now I'm forever in search of new notes to collect. I think crack is less addicting!

"Murder on the Orient express". Oh thank God for google......:smile

 

Guy...
LOL

Now that is one of the better compliments I have gotten recently..
So answer this for me...why do we not see you in the Security Engravers Group? What a great place to learn and discuss any type of Art work or Vignetts concerning Banknotes.
We would love to have you join in, all you have to do is commit to doing a Presentation on any Art work, Vignette, Engraving or Banknote to the group.

Your evil evil friend...

RickieB

 

I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to give a proper presentation on any note yet. I have read a few from other members and have learned a lot. Maybe I'll try to put something together, as it looks like fun.
Guy~

 

Well you have to join..come on..it'll be fun and exciting..at least you do not have to stand up in front of us right?

Am I really that evil...LOL :smile :smile

Be happy to have ya...

mine is a 1880-s morgan dollar ms66 star dmpl

 

Currency is too confusing for me. Some notes are worth more than others but some are completely worthless. I got a zimbabwe 100 trillion dollar bill for $3.00 and then was told by my brother that it isn't worth the paper it is written on. I put it in my photo album and put it in my attic. I thought I was going to be a trillion-aire! :headbang:

 

And you would (could) be. If you lived in Zimbabwe....:smile Along with the countless other trillionaires.

 

I think a cup of coffee was 1/2 a Trillion or so..at least you get change back... LOL
