Well Payton, what gives ?

 

Overwhelmed by good tastes I guess...

 

Is there a millionaire among us? :whistle:

 

I knew that there was a record one sold but I assumed if he owned one that it wasn't that one

 

Thanks all. I have given my consent to many to post several of my notes. You likie!!

 

So you are saying the cat did it...?

 

Not sure if we're on the same channel Krisp. I have given my consent to "show" some of my notes on other web sites. Hope that clarifies.

 

So you're saying you are the new owner of a $2 million dollar note? OR the former owner who sold a $2 million dollar note?

 

Are you honestly saying that you own that note? Do you have any other proof to assuage my doubt?

Can you provide an image of yourself holding that note? Or produce an image of the note with say a quarter or dime scanned together alongside the note and post the image here for us?

 

2M I wish...Try 700K....best estimate.

 

I think you're avoiding our questions :whistle: ?

The note you posted, with the serial posted, is one that sold for $2 million. So there's no "try $700,000", because that note did sell for $2 million. If you posted that note and it isn't yours, just say it, it's ok, everyone here would love to own a note like that.

BUT, if that note IS yours, or if you have one like it, then it would get you a lot of credit to post your own image of it, or produce a scan with a dime or quarter or even a piece of paper with your username on it right next to the note.

 

Payton,how about ending the guessing game and make it crystal clear and stop beating around the bush ,are you the owner or not .

 

I never thought I would own one of these but it came my way about a year ago.

 

Good job guys. I tried my best to go along without telling an out an out lie! Well ya got me cornered and it didn't take quite as long as I thought. I searched the interent for the most elusive and valuable note I could find, with a scan and this guy was the one. I'm sure there are more valuable notes out there but this one was the best I could do! I considered stretching this one out by printing out a copy and holding it in hand as recommended but................enough fun for now!

 

Okay...

 

What was the point of that? You did lie, I mean you even thought about printing one on paper... ?

Whatever. Let's see some more notes everyone. Notes that you own

 

Interesting!:thumb: Tell us about it. I've never seen one before.

 

It is the 500 rupien note from German East Africa. This and the 50 rupien and 100 rupien notes are the only notes with a portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II.

German East Africa is modern-day Tanzania (minus the island of Zanzibar). The notes issued during WWI, particularly the one rupie notes, are more commonly known to collectors. The earlier notes consist of a 5 rupien, 10 rupien, 50 rupien, 100 rupien and the 500 rupien. The 5 rupien has a vignette of a lion and the 10 has a vignette of the port of Dar-Es-Salaam.

The war in East Africa is an interesting tale and one that I have studied since I first ran across an account while I was in the US Army. My Cointalk name is a shortened version of the name of the German commander, Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck.

I took a flyer on a German token collection that a colleague had acquired. He was not interested in it but thought I might be. The collection had some pretty scarce German naval tokens and I was able to trade some of them for this note with a token collector in Germany.

 

Actually I don't think he/she did lie. I rather enjoyed that portion of the posts and was downright fun. A little chill music please!
