I'm a bit late to the party, but whenever I see a Russian note posted I try to jump in with a little extra info you wouldn't find in references like the SCWPM.

Based on your serial number, your note has an added "twist"... so even though the note is dated "1910", that's the date that this design was first created. Notes that looked like this were first released to the public in 1911. But going back to your serial number, your note was printed by the RSFSR (Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) sometime between end of 1917 and 1920. When the communists overthrew the Provisional Government (which itself took over after the Czar was overthrown), they weren't ready to print their own money. So they used the Imperial plates. The clue is in the serial number, which Russian-language references use to differentiate the printing authority in a way that SCWPM doesn't. These notes were considered legal tender until October 1st, 1922.

 

Well my submissions are back ! just logged in to my account and they
were shipped out on Friday, this was an amazing group of 10 (5)
Top Pops !!!

Heres the first two:

Series 2002 $10 (Tinker Bell ) A - A Block (68EPQ)

These two sequential notes are the only 68,s in population more then
a Home run but a grand slam !! these will easily fetch a minimum of
$500 a piece, will probably only sell one, and use the other for my
daughters registry set

 

Next two up are also Sequential, and these to are both top pops !

Series 2001 $1 ( El Capitan Theater ) A -Z Block ( 67EPQ )

 

Third one in order,

Series 2005 $1 ( Chicken Little) T - A Block ( 68EPQ )

 

Moving down to the next one, i new the margins weren't great on this one
but still got a quality grade.

Series 1989 $5 ( Goofy ) D - A Block ( 58EPQ )

 

The next one is also a goofy,

Series 1991 ( Goofy ) A - A Block ( 65EPQ )

 

And then the always famous Recreation Dollar, this is my only disappointment
of the group, was looking for a 66EPQ but fell a bit short at 65, still a high
quality note though.

1972A Recreation Dollar ( Walt Disney World) (65EPQ)

 

Next up on the list are the Iconic "E" Tickets this 1959 is in amazing shape

 

Heres one from 1973

What's the story with those National Bank Notes ? Why did private sector banks endorse government currency AFTER the Fed was created ???

 

How often do you guys participate in and/or look at the weekly (or bi-weekly) Heritage Currency Auctions ?

 

Constantly, have alerts set up on my phone, with about 50 items on my want list
the other day I got an alert on some wine...LOL , not part of my want list...LOL

 

Weekly.

 

National bank notes were notes issued by private banks that had a national charter. They were not government currency. Legal Tender Notes and Silver Certificates were the circulating government currency.

The FED was originally created to allow the supply of currency to expand and contract as the economy required to avoid the problems that created the Panics of 1893 and 1907.

Except for the emergency issues of 1914 and 1933, notes issued by the Federal Reserve Banks made up a small portion of note circulation.

The collapse of national banks in the depression brought an end to national bank notes as a circulating medium in favor of the centralized issue of Federal Reserve Notes.

 

Hoped to have something for this thread, but I got way outbid last night at HA for some 68 and 69 modern Repeater and Radars.

The final bids were way over the top of the range. Somewhat surprised, given that they aren't especially rare and show up at most every auction or every other auction.

 

When I click on the X it will open the photo in Photobucket, but that's a lot of work to go through to see your posts.
