my very first 2 purchased notes. what do you think?

The least expensive one I purchased was a common, with cannons at $40.00. I have 3 notes that are rare and I paid over $1500.00. I have a CSA Radar note, so then can be had for a little or a lot of money, just depends what you want/like.

well I definitely won't be getting the $1500 ones. is it $40 in a nice grade? or is it problem note? if a nice grade common one can purchased relatively cheap than it would be a nice addition

 

You can pick a common note up for under $100.00. The cannons are extremely common, therefore inexpensive. You can get a nice well centered note for about $40.00. Stains, pin holes, writing, tears, un-centered are a few of the most common problems that will lower the value. The notes are hand cut and most of them are hand numbered. A few are stamped numbers. 2 signatures by hand are required on each note. Happy hunting.

 

sounds good enough for me. maybe that will be next. thanks for the heads up

 

You're welcome. Let me know what you get.

 

Don't worry about focusing on anything, just buy what you like! Spoken by a true ADHD collector lol...

I have a nice certified 50ppq 1864 $10 CSA note I paid $50 for and have enjoyed owning so much history for such a small price. Also, I recently sold a somewhat low end VF25 Black Eagle and upgraded to a 50EPQ. If I could do it over I would have gone for the higher grade first.

There are classic coins that have lots of eye appeal even in grades as low as G-VG. When it comes to currency, however, I've found that I can't get much enjoyment out of a note unless it's at least a good clean VF. So you were right to start with the high grades. I don't care how beautiful the design is, a dirty worn out wadded up rag just doesn't do much for me.

 

Cool
