Showed up on my desk this morning - from my favorite teller. She wasn't sure if I would want it or not and figured she would spend it if I didn't. Needless to say that for face - it has a new home. Not worth a bunch, but worth saving!
A bit better district than the usual Chicago or New York too. I have lots of early notes from 1934-1969 that I save as "emergency money" that are not worth tonnes, but can be spent in a pinch.
Mr. Parish.... You are not knocking us High print collectors are ya?? :smile hya: Have you tried to find any Gem NY notes of late that are not sky high in value? I really know the huge numbers printed from this district and thought to myself...hum this should be easy enough..:smile, yea right :headbang: I am having a very difficult time with high grade notes from any district, much less the nominal ones you would think so differently about! I bought a $100 Cleveland Numeral note a few months back and it cost me $800.00...a $20 NY Star series 1928 in Gem 65 sold for $2700.00 in a heritage auction that I got out bid on cuz I spent that much on the $20 Date Back NY National from Tom Flynns collection! So hey..take it easy on us high print district collectors...our notes are special to us too :smile :smile RickieB
Rickie, after looking at D. Kelly's site, it seems like most Western States are expensive, compared to their Eastern counterparts. So I don't know what the deal with NY is
Mag are you talking Nationals?? Also condition plays a large role in the notes cost. The notes I am speaking of are early Series 1928 and the Stars from that Series thru 1934 and 1950...these are very expensive. Western Issued Nationals are generally more scarce than Eastern. Population demographics palyed a huge role in that! RickieB
Curiously it seems as though there are a lot more PA notes than even NY in Nationals. Population out west was a factor, but so was the fact that often people didn't care a lot for paper out there either.
