Fr 138 $20 Legal Tender Large Brown Seal...I have waited so long for this note!!!

For years I have been on the look out for the Fr 138 Large Brown Seal $20 note. I had acquired the $1, $2, $5 and the $10 and really wanted the $20 note so bad.
In the top 2 TPGCs there are reported less than 30 of these notes and I am happy to say that today, my 57th Birthday I found and purchased this note.
These are very difficult to locate in high grade and I am pleased to have it in an AU55...

I would like to share it here with you today as I celebrate a tough recovery from the Big "C", a new job, this fantastic note and my friends.
I do hope you enjoy seeing this in all its Legal Tender Glory!!


pinch me..am I dreaming here?

Happy birthday man, and I don't know about the pinch, but good things have been happening with you in the real world. Congrats on the new addition!

 

happy b-day, and nice note.

One question, why is it called an Fr 138?

 

Koen:

Robert "Fr"iedberg devised the numbering system used bears the first 2 initials of his last name.
Here is a link for you to review.

Thank you for explaining it.
So the Fr number is a number corespondenting with a number in that book.

 

happy birthday and congrats on the new note. she's a bueaty

 

It's great to have you here, and to see you posting notes like the ones you used to post up, Rick. That's one cool note, and I hope to see many more!

Happy Birthday

Dave

 

Happy Birthday, Rick!
Congratulations on all of your accomplishments of late.
It's been a tough road for you, I'm glad you're making such great progress.
Keep it up!

 

Great looking note without any doubt. Congrats on your locating an example you are proud to own.

 

Whoah!! What a great looking note and in such a high grade! Congrats on the new note, your health and everything else that is going your way this year. Have to say that I'm jealous of the note though! :yes:

 

Ahhhhh, nice note! HB

 

happy b congrats on both fronts..

 

Happy (late Birthday) That is sure a looker of a note! :yes:

 

Thanks everyone for the nice comments....now I suppose I will have to put the $1-$20 set together again.
That will be an expensive proposition. When I sold the collection at FUN in 2011 it was very hard to let my Large Brown Seals go....it was an extreme pleasure to have found this and as mentioned, happy to have it.

Thanks again for your kind words.

 

WOW! That is PQ!
