Clembo said he turned away someone with a bunch of 1934 $10's and $20's, well, they must have taken them to my bank because I just picked up almost $3000 in mostly Series 1934A $10's and $20's. I'm sorting it out, but most of them are 1934A Chicago District, but I have found a few 1928B and one 1928 $20 bill. I'm hoping that I may find a mule in there. Another thing I'm noticing is that it appears that the serials tend to impede upon the signature or district seal, so I'm wondering just how far off it has to be in order to be considered an error note. As it is now, I've run out of mylar holders. I've also discovered that I will never buy holders from the last place I bought from. I've gotten 5 now that were sealed on all 4 edges. This is bigger than the last jackpot of 1950-1960 $20's that I found. The image with the stack is only the Series 1934A Chicago notes (which is only about 60-70% of the notes I got). ====== PS title is a reference to this thread http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=36490
Nope, Still ain't crying but nice haul Gatzdon! I'll see more and hopefully the stack I saw the other day will return. clembo
When I rescued these notes, they were already strapped in as 100 note straps (1 $10 strap and 1 $20 strap) in the unfit pile. It was a fluke they didn't get sent out yesterday and were definitely going to be shipped off to the Fed next Tuesday. These notes came extremely close to being shredded. The teller didn't want to get them at first because they were ready to ship out. Once I told her I would buy the entire straps without prejudice, she gladly got them and sold them to me. There was about $300 in regular modern $10's and $20's in there, but I'm still in disbelief of just how many 1934A (and older) notes were in there. Now I think I may be able to put together an exhibit showing the changes in serial number color for the series 1934-1934A at least.
