    here are some more of my recent re-scans. These note are some of my absolute favorites!!!

    I apologize to anyone who is on dial-up!! The file sizes are quite large at around 3-4 megs each, but IMHO certainly worth it! Each pic is 600 dpi. For those who are on dial-up, each of these scans will be on my site hopefully tommorrow. Pm me, or post a thread here, and i will let you know when they are posted.

    1896 Chief - obverse
    1896 Chief - reverse

    1901 Bison - obverse
    1901 Bison - reverse

    This last note, is one of my most rare, and the most expensive note i own.
    1886 Tombstone - obverse
    1886 Tombstone - reverse

    I hope you all like them as much as i do :D

    If you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay for the Bison Note.

    The Speelman-White Bison was the first large size note I ever bought and was the note that got me going on Large Size notes when I was real young.

    I love the other 2 notes also.

    as shabby as the Bison note is, it still sold for alot. well, alot when compared to my yearly budget! My budget is a bit larger now then back then :) maybe only because of inflation :D

    Anyway, i paid about $150 for it about 7 years ago i think it was. Im not sure if it would sell for more or less now, but i wanted an example since i was a kid, so i picked one up when the price was right.

    I would be willing to bet that it would go for much more than that today.

    Back in around 1995, I picked up a Bison in F to VF condition for around $400, so I would say that you got a pretty good buy.

    Now the Bison seems to be one of the most popular large size notes.
