Paper Money: New Acquisitions

I can't scan it right now but I will a little later. You've given me the info I need but I still want to post these. They're in pretty good shape for 30 year old circulated 20s.

Here they are

 

Quantity printed is spot on. I have values of $30 in VF-20 to $110 in Unc-63 for the '81 New York, and $35 in VF-20 to $90 in Unc-63 for the '77 Boston.

VACookey: Your notes appear to be anywhere from Extra Fine to Uncirculated. I can't offer a better opinion as to grade from the small photos. But I'd say you're probably near the upper end of the gamut in terms of value.

 

More coming soon.

 

Nice notes, like that Eagle alot...

 

This was my big purchase at the WFoM. a GC was high on my want list and there was no better place to shop them!

 

Thank you for the info!

 

If you all remember from my "Best note under $1000" thread, I really wanted a Richmond Battleship, finally got a great example with no issues. Some other recent additions below as well.

 

You sunk my (Boston) battleship. Nice additions.

 

Thanks Funkee, nice pun as well :thumb:

I think I'm going to send the battleship and Hawaii note off to get slabbed. I got incredible prices on both, $425/$125 and had my trusted paper money dealer examine both carefully. I'm thinking they will come back VF25/30 maybe EPQ? and 65/66 EPQ respectively. I realized I didn't include the reverse scan of the Hawaii, but the centering looks perfect to the naked eye.

 

Insanely nice battleship for that price.

 

I'm seeing stars! Some new pickups of 28-34 stars that I am voraciously collecting...

 

i want it!! if you ever sell it, hit me up!!!!

 

Very nice mec keep'em comin!

 

Another new lime green pickup, this one is a nice Kansas City...

 

Don't have anything new .......yet. I'm currently saving up for a crazy auction coming up in October, as well as a coin show. But needed to say that we hit 100 pages on this thread! WOO- HOO!!

 

Can you guys give any advice for a new time auction bidder participating in one for the 1st time?

 

With the provided details, (none) research is my only suggestion. Learn the recent price ranges of what you are looking for, factor in the Buyers Premium, (except eBay) and shipping charges, and depending on the note, keep in mind that if you don't win this one, another one will come along again. For instance, I'm currently looking for an AU or CU 1907 $5 Woodchopper, and these are everywhere, so I can take my time, look at a lot of different choices, and make a bid (low) knowing that more are just around the corner. If you're looking at an expensive note auctioned at a major show then I recommend an auction rep for usually about 5% commission.

 

Yea i was just speaking in terms of general getting started in an auction of which you said well.i know general price ranges for what iam interested in just alittle head shy about jumping into one.In addition some of these auction prices realized are far cheaper then dealer website prices but doesnt mean any auction is always the best bet.Just depends on the note and how bad someone wants it i suppose.

 

Wow, just acquired the rarest item I have encountered in 21 years of
professional full time numismatics! A 1902 plain back $20 note from
First National Bank of Danville, VA. It's in a new CGA holder graded
30. The searches through auction catalogs and online turn up only my note and
one other, which is a rag.
