Here is something you dont see every day!

I just bought this from an estate sale today. Its amazing what you can find among all the typical household items. These were hanging on a wall in a frame for 80 years. This sheet is uncut and uncirculated.

That's pretty cool!
Does PMG Grade uncut sheets? :devil:

Absolutely beautiful. Bravo. Mind telling us what you payed?

 

That's pretty awesome. Worth a pretty penny as well.... Hopefully they mounted it correctly... Fingers crossed.

 

These were mounted perfectly. Museum quality as the notes are well preserved.

 

Very kool

 

Thats the best estate find Ive seen posted here. I wouldve been all over that too! Only other place Ive seen sheets of those was an ANA exhibit.

Are you sure they are genuine thought, being in a frame and all. If so nice find :thumb:

 

Wonder why a twentie is on the same sheet as the tens, never seen that before.

 

how much did you but them for?

 

I am not a paper person, so why the same serial number ( 2182) on all? I don't recall the Nationals being printed like that.

 

When you spend enough time in this hobby it is difficult to miss special items if you are educated and passionate. I suspect that 99.9% of the people who laid eyes on this had no idea of what it was. Having been in this hobby since 12 years old (YOB 1967) I have educated myself and could never miss a genuine piece of american banking history.

 

That was a pretty common sheet combination for Nationals. Some banks did order sheets of 10-10-10-10, but 10-10-10-20 was more widely used. Likewise, 1-1-1-2 and 50-50-50-100 were the most common combinations involving those denominations. But $5's always and only came in 5-5-5-5 sheets....

Serials on large-size Nationals are sheet numbers, not note numbers. So all the notes on a sheet will have the same serial, and you need to look at plate positions to distinguish individual notes. Small-size Nationals used a couple of variations on this scheme: the 1929 Type I sheets had the same number on every note but with different prefix letters, and the 1929 Type II sheets finally switched to different numbers on each note just like all other classes of currency had used all along.

 

Great job on the aquisition Brian. I'll bet several people who looked at those, passed on them thinking the weren't real either. You would need to be an experienced collector not to be mislead by the repetitive serial numbers and different denominations on the sheet of bills.

 

OMG! I have about six dozen colorful metaphors that would effectively ban me from the internet for life.

ummm ummm awww ummm I'm trying ummm wait for it ummm ummm NICE!!!!

 

Why have it graded? It is likely a unique item. Whether it is EF or AU or UNC is going to be immaterial as to value.

 

Those are great, thanks for sharing. I never seem to find anything at tag sales and estate sales but things like this are what make me take some time to look.

 

Fantastic! What a find...

 

That is one hellava find!!!

 

Beautiful Sheet Brian... really nice find. Hope they are mounted correctly w/o glue.
Just a really nice site to see. Congrats to you.

You officially have my vote for "Best Out of Nowhere Find of the Year"! If it was museum mounted, then they didn't use glue to adhere the notes onto the boarded surface. I deal in the art industry quite often, so I know how these things are put together, it's a novel design actually.
