Krispy... Thanks.. It's in a CGA Holder and I bought it 3years ago...I think?? The reverse margins on the lower right are askew and I do not think it will cross grade to PMG at a 66 but more than likely a 65. It is the highest graded note thus far (in this holder ) for this Bank. RickieB
A note in this condition would be very super nice in most collections in either holder and respective grade, but I know that you are shooting for something else in a pedigree TPG holder as an end goal and the considerations of grades that go with that. :smile I am really impressed by those nationals that survived the conditions that the vast majority appear to be in when I come across them in auction listings.
What a beautiful National Rickie and the grade,color is fantastic,the back vignette is so detailed ++++++ bob
Yep the double T is nice U...there's more then Utah then you think but still not easy. Even Utah is a harder state then most.
Nice "S"! Interesting how the face has discoloration but the back is less discolored, paper is whiter.
Just acquirred these (3) in the past two weeks. Sorry I'm late but here's (2) M's and (1) "P" Type II
Some Early Birdies: Forgot about The Beaver's prurient desires to see nationals with bared bosoms. So you will have to wait until Beaver is 21 to see them.
Like This Thread!!! Everyones National Currency Notes I saw so far are nice. I find these notes are not as common and a little harder to come across. Here's one from dads old collection. This Note looks like it was cut by hand.
The notes were shipped out from the BEP to the banks in sheets, and they were cut in the bank, usually after they were signed by the cashier and the president of the bank. They could have been cut with razor blades, knives, scissors or a paper cutter. Most of the larger banks would have had the large paper cutters, but smaller banks might have relied on whatever they had on hand to cut the notes. Sometimes in the latter instances, the person doing the cutting could be fairly sloppy when separating the notes.
That's what I was told when I questioned this years ago. The sheets were cut as needed by whatever means available. I think it makes the note a bit unique. But so does the s/n.
Okay, okay -- this is not my note. Although it could be if I chose to drop $2K in order to own it so I could post it here. But I need some closure on that "Q." And to take a little pressure off in advance, here's an "X" -- yeah, it's also in someone else's collection. But if I had an "X" NBN, this would be the one. Now, how about that "U" ?!
Oh that Quincy looks great!! I've been there and would love that one. NICE As for the U someone has to have a Utah lying around.
