Another nice addition to my MPC collection

Just got this in the mail today and thought i would share it,s a Series 591 $10 in PMG 53EPQ, i have had one for years which i will post along with the new addition, i think
You will find in comical that a guy that has been collecting for over 20 years has waited
till now for a much upgrade truth is i have been concentrating on other sets and
havent really done much PMG until now, but this set is very collectable and very rare especially the $5 with graded A/U examples in the $3,500 range, and uncirculated versions $5,000-$8,000, here,s a little more info on the Series.

Series 591

as you can see by the populations, most in this series demand top dollars
surprisingly so even the $1 note is extremely hard to find in graded unc.
Condition, but for sure the $5 and $10.

this was my current Series 591 $10 up until today

 

and here,s the new one, another plus i got it for under $800, in this grade there
Typically in the $1,200 range

 

That's quite an upgrade! Cool score!

 

That's an upgraded upgrade. Very nice note congrats

 

i really liked the price point, many uncirculated examples like a 66 are several
Thousand dollars and that,s if you can even find them ! that,s the biggest challenge

 

This is what's at PMG for grading right now that I picked up on eBay awhile back.

 

The 50 cent and 10 cent look like strong candidates !!

Here,s my PCGS examples:

 

you can compare yours against mine below but usually PMG,S method of grading is
a little more hard core based on my experience would estimate the following grades
based on what i see:

5- 65 to 66

10- 66 to 67

25-65 to 66

50- 66 to 67

not full proof since i cant actually handle the note but it should be close to that
