Paper Money: New Acquisitions

Just received this 1917 $1 Note. Some obvious folds and rubs in the seals. Decent crispness remaining.

Yes I thought so, thanks. I think I got it for a steal too

 

Yes that's a sharp $1 Educational...

Today's new pickup is one I got on a whim, I am a sucker for colored overprints on notes, this note has both green and red overprint, a Faith of the State Mississippi $10. Earlier notes were Cotton Pledged, that went by the wayside and they decided to issue based on trust the State would make good. Let me tell you how all that worked out...

 

Today's new get is a tasty lime $5 New York star note. Lime, and a star? Someone hold me, I have the vapors...

 

PCGS 25 Apparent w/ Semen Stains. We'll soon be able to establish provenance of LGS notes by your DNA.

 

Well if that's my reputation it would explain the slowdown in my currency sales... everything would be graded NUT instead of NET.

Speaking of, this note does look like it got the money shot, but the price was pretty low so I said why not. Might end up selling it eventually, but another 1923 $1 SC star doesn't hurt the collection...

 

2 new notes, I have not bought much lately. Both are 67 PPQ too ~ nice

 

Nice. Where are 34 and 35? : )

BEP "Lone Star" note issued in 2002...I think.

 

Here are a couple recent purchases I got from a coin shop during a trip to Georgia:

 

Got a new 5-er today.

 

Tonight's new pickup is a great example of this all around great note, a Five Pound note from The British Linen Bank. Slowly filling in my Scotland notes, can be expensive but once in a while a great design in great shape comes at a great price, and well, this is it... just great design elements. While normally not one for the hacks at TDLR, I think this is a winner.

 

Tonight's new pickup is this Hungarian One Forint note, issued in the US on behalf of a shadow government in exile. Nothing much became of it, except for an awesome note with friggin' cannon balls on it...

 

I'm not really much of a currency collector but I wanted to drop in and say I love this thread. Thanks to everyone who has shared!

 

Plucked this one out of circulation.

 

Today's new pickup is a nice and rare 887b Dallas $5. The B variant is far rarer than the A, on Dallas it is 10 times rarer... this one is slabbed at VF-25 Apparent, for Apparently AwesomeZOMG...

 

Got these recently also

 

Recently found some neat Confederate notes ... these are from the (rather common) 1864 era when the rebels were printing bills out as fast as the presses could handle. The quality is notably bad. The paper is super thin and the engraving is not nearly as detailed as ABNC notes made in the contemporary period. It shows what shape the rebels were in during those final days.

 

Actually, on those Confederates, I consider those issues to be a notable step up from the previous single printing on white or pink paper. These notes had two distinct printings, black and then red overprint. The $10 is the most common CSA note printed, but popular due to the design with the flying cannon. The $5 is the so called assassination note and I really like the net effect of the quality engraving, the way the statehouse stands out against the white paper surrounded by the red overprint. Also remember the original reverses for these notes never arrived from Europe to be used, so these were sort of ad hoc.

But enough about your notes, let's talk about MY notes...

Today's new pickup again reminds us you sometimes get what you can get. This 1934-C $20 Minneapolis star is a new back design and not common in any grade... so I'll take a VF apparent all day long...

 

Today's new get, one of my favorite remainder notes from the always popular and ubiquitous Canal Bank. This $10 combines the impressive eagle vignette with a fancy eye popping red overprint - a real winner of a design.
