    It has taken 8.5 months for me to manage this note along with the others..
    I am very proud of this one and it remains the top money note in my collection so far. A Special thanks to J. Smith for making this possible.

    Jeff, you are a incredibile man, friend and mentor! My thanks to you Sir. :) :)

    Look at the striking color this note has...the images I posted before just did not do it justice..as you can see, it arrived here today.

    As a side note.. according to the Martin Gengerke census, this note once belonged in the Robert Schemerhorn Collection..(I hope I spelled that correctly)

    Rickie that is as nice a $1 rainbow as I can ever remember seeing. The margins are a little off but the color is incredible. The more I look at this bill I begin to think it may have been a test note of some sort. I believe it is why it has been saved to nicely.

    I think you got a good note here fella.

    Beautiful RickieB! Love that note and congrats on the pickup! Just curious, where does it rank among the other grades of that note? According to my books there are only an estimated 1000-4000 left in any grade so I can imagine there are very few in the grade yours is in.
