    ikandiggit Currency Error Collector

    I went to the local, monthly coin show this morning and bought nothing that I had on my shopping list[​IMG]. So, instead I wound up looking for bargains and I think I did okay. A friend who sells there showed me some stuff that he wanted clear out and I bought all the remaining U.S. bills he had. Nothing fantastic but I didn't have any in my collection. What I got was a nicely framed set of three bills that includes a 1935 One Dollar Silver Certifcate (blue seal), a 1953 U.S. Note two dollar bill (red seal), and a 2003 Federal Reserve Note Two Dollar bill(green seal); "The Many Faces of Jefferson" from the American Heritage Mint that includes two Jefferson nickels (1942 and 2003D), a 1953 two dollar U.S. Note (red seal) and a 2003 two dollar Federal Reserve Note (green seal); a Motto / No Motto Silver Certificate Set with two very circulated one dollar bills- 1935 and 1957 (blue seals). I paid $16.00 Canadian for the works.

    Before today, the only U.S. bill I owed was a five dollar one I found at work.

    Sorry about the pics...I was in a hurry to post.

    What a great way to start a collection off, super buy's and you can display them on the wall :smile If you do remember to keep them out of direct sunlight or they will fade (Badly)
