1973 Colombia 2 Pesos Oro Purchased: $0.33 Value: $0.00 This is a total roach. I had the option of purchasing an uncirculated example for $5, but opted to cheap out. I regret it because the details on this are almost nonexistent at this grade.
This would be a good "hand it to someone to hold and show piece". I kinda like the worn look but yeah, not worth anything. Just a cool piece to hand to someone.
I like worn notes too. I would usually much rather have a lightly circulated (F-XF) note than a GEM 68 or something. I find that there's little or no character to a crisp, unused note. However, a used one has decades of history, wear, and character in it. Sometimes, however, in the case of that Colombian note, the wear is so severe that it ends up detracting from the visual appearance. To be fair, though, it really shows something about the bill that it was able to be circulated to that condition!
1964 Greece 50 Drachmai Purchased: $0.33 Value: $0.25 This is one of my more favorite modern Greek issues. It has not one, but two ships and even a dry-dock! Plus the dolphins around the face are pretty cool.
1972 Colombia 20 Pesos Oro Purchased: $0.33 Value: $1.00 Curiously, Colombia Pesos Oro translate to "gold pesos." Even though the notes have not been exchangeable for gold pesos in many decades. It literally says "The Bank of the Republic of Colombia will Pay to the Bearer 20 Gold Pesos" This is the equivalent of having American money still say "Silver Certificate" on them.
This is a ND 10 Dirhams from United Arab Emirates. Purchased: $0.33 Value: $1.00 Obverse has a really nice ceremonial dagger. Overall it has a very nice wintergreen sort of minty color to it.
1962-75 Cambodia 10 Riels Purchased: $0.33 Value: $0.00 This is a complete roach, but I like Cambodian notes.
1975 Peru 100 Soles de Oro Purchased: $0.33 Value: $1.00 Peru, like Colombia, kept "oro" in their money name for quite a while even after dropping first the gold and then the silver standard.
Series 1996 $50 was a complete redesign. First of the big heads, first of the 2 letter prefixes and several other changes. It also has tons of eye appeal, good registration and even margins both front and back. Tight note.
Brazil 1 Cruzeiro Purchased: $0.33 Value: $0.25 Brazilian notes from the 1960s and 1970s are AMAZING with their gorgeous colors and nice portraits. This one is a roach but if it was in somewhat better condition it's a very nice note.
1980-85 Brazil 100 Cruzeiros Purchased:$0.33 Value: $0.05 Worth absolutely nothing, this is one of only a very few banknotes wordwide that are exactly the same thing upside down or rightside up. Wild
1969 Mexico 10 Pesos Purchased: $0.33 Value: $0.15 These older pesos are still legal tender. Just knock two zeros off the end, giving this a 0.1 peso face value
I don’t think my matrix too far off (at least on this one lol)- a Pmg 66 Switzerland 1000 Franken P52a sold for $3229 (Krs CV raw $1500). Data provided by eBay seller brochure. Time to invest in graded WPM?
