I have gotten these in a collection that I just purchased along with a bunch of Silver Certs, But the picture is what I am curious about at this time. Here is the fun part of this.. I have 6 serial numbers in a row of these things.. Any value? Sorry, not a paper collector and dont profess to know anything about this stuff. I took a picture of the worst condition of the 6. Be nice now.. I am a rookie in this world.
Well what you have there is a Fr 106 with a Large Red Spiked Seal known as a Jackass Note... These $10 Large Size are one of my favorites. If this is the worst condition, you have scored big time..(well depending on what you paid I suppose). Please post them all together as I am excited to see these. I have this note in an Uncirculated Grade and they are pretty costly. RickieB
Small Pictures but I am sure you get the idea. Not Uncs.. But not bad either I Dont think? Rick, what is the best way (venue) to sell things like this. NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT to sell, only trying to find the location best suited for that purpose.
If I were you.. I would contact Heritage and have them certified and listed in an Auction...Memphis is coming up as well as other shows. Or you could send them in yourself and have them graded and then submit for auction, or thru dealers. Your best bet for maximum $$ is the Auction. These notes in XF run anywhere from $1200 up to $1400 In CHCU 63 upward toward 2K ea...again depending on grade. The $$$ get's higher as the grade goes up. They look to fit that grade (XF to AU) but the images are small as you say...Consectutive numbers will help as well...With notes like these I really suggest you get them graded. On notes 302, 303 and 304 you can see handling, some corner cuts and roundness..the other 3 look a little better. Please make sure you can see 2 silk threads one red one blue (maybe 2 blue) going across the note..one on top and one on the bottom portion of the note. It's a security thread that validates it as real. Usually the pass through-under or very close to the SN#'s. Use the note I post as an example.. Good luck. RB
WOW! From the 2009 Whitman Paper Money book: Au=1600, 60=2000, 63=2500 65=4000 six sequential in that condition have to drive those numbers up! Would be interested to see what RickieB thinks on value as a group. (too slow ) These are Sacks and I shop JCPenny. Thanks for sharing the group!!!! Very cool!
Group value?? Its hard to say until they are graded.. but it could be a very nice price due to consecutive SN's and of course collector interest. BallPark.. I will guess 1600 to 1750 for the last 3 and 1900 to 2100 for the top 3. Add a little premium for consec SN#s a few hunderd each note and there ya go...again, it just a guess..grade will help it alot. RB
Interesting.. Thanks Rick.. OK what about 1957 $1.00 Silver Certificates. All CU, 10 consecutive numbers.G39666361A-G39666370A These look like they were minted yesterday. No bends, no tears nothing. Any value? Also have a run of 5 $2.00 1963A Red stamped and numbers. Again CU... Any Value in this? There was also some run of the mill Silver Certs. $1.00 1935F Folded, beat to heck $1.00 1957 $1.00 1957A And a $100.00 bill that caught my eye. 1934 K 01397117A Don't know why but it looks different. Rough shape though.. Spender?
Jim.. The 57's are pretty common. In Unc they bring a premium maybe $25 to $28 per note..consec numbers again helps. Graded notes get more attention at times..some folks do not like graded notes. Go to www.donckelly.com to get a general idea of pricing..he is a very well known dealer and honest. The 63 A's are about the same as the 57's in Unc.. The 34 $100..yes it looks different..depends on how bad it is..just over 1.5 MM printed...not much premium for beat up notes though. Good luck and let us know what happens. RB
Interesting: RickieB's note is fewer than 50 serials away from the OP's notes. Is this a case where a long run of consecutive serials is known to have survived, or is this just some kind of freak coincidence?
Where's the missing note? Without it, you don't have a cut sheet. Cut sheets are worth (a little) more.
Texas. I havent a clue what a cut sheet is. what I have is what I posted. Where the "rest" of whatever your talking about is.. Who knows.. I am assuming based on this question that there are 7 notes in a sheet? Seems odd..
Jim.. in my source manuals there is no mention of how many notes were in a sheet at that time. I have sent an email to Mr. Gene Hessler asking this question of this particular Series of Note. Let's see what he has to say, after all, he wrote the book. Regards, RB
Can you give some more info on getting the notes graded? How much does it cost? How do you decide on if you should get a note graded? Do you send them off in the mail?
Large size notes were printed in sheets of four, so a cut sheet would be four notes with plate positions A, B, C, D. I certainly didn't mean to diminish your find, which is extraordinary and beautiful. I just meant if you could find the missing note, you'd be sure to have a cut sheet.
Rickie, they are being sent to PCGS on Wednesday. Once I get them back I will determine the best course to sell, but will probably contact heritage. Thanks for all your advice, as always its nice to know a few friends with some specialized knowledge. I have made a few phone calls and sent some emails and they seem to be getting alot of interest because of the serial numbers like they are. Who knows where this will end up, but I know one thing.. homey gonna be happy... : ) Thanks buddy..
I remember something similar when I did stamps back in the 70's. How do you determine where the note was placed in a sheet on these? I have read a little. (I know, dangerous) and see on new notes there are numbers. Might as well learn a little here while I have the cake pan out so to speak..
Thanks Jim and Good luck to you. This particular Note was the last group printing of this Series..as noted by the "Blue Serial Numbers". The Plate positions TJ posted seem correct to me but I think during this time a new printing method was being looked at as well so I am not 100% sure. This is why I email Gene.. Heck I cant recall every detail but Gene will know for sure. RB
Here's a note similar to yours. Look to the right of Webster's face, above the lower serial number scroll. You'll see D11. This tells you this note was printed using face plate 11 for this series, and was the bottom note from a sheet of four. You can find something similar on every large size note, although the position varies.
