If you were presented with these options..which would you choose?

Hello Friends,

I have 3 options and only enough $$$ for one of them....(one I will have to pay more)

Please let me know your choice, if you were faced with the same situation!
I know it is me who will make the final decision, but I just wanted to know your thoughts as well.
SN#s have been blurred out until a decision has been made.

The $1000 NY Note is a PMG 64 PPQ
The Hancock Note is a PMG 64
The Tombstone Note is an AU53

Thanks in advance!

RickieB, even though I like all 3 notes I would have to go with the NY note. That is if I was trying to put together a high quality NY note collection.

I collect primarily small size notes so it's a no brainer for me....the $1000 FRN. Always wanted one of those...hell, always wanted a $500 note too and haven't managed to get that one yet either!!

Anyway, imho a $1000 bill is more impressive than a $2 or a $10, especially if you don't already own a large denomination note.

 

Just as a reminder...I am putting together a Large Size Collection as well.
The Hancock Note and the Tombstone notes are quite rare.....

The FR# is 243 for the Hancock Rosecrans/Huston
Tobstone Note is FR# 301 Lyon/Roberts

Lou...now you see my delima..LOL

Thanks friend!

I am going to have to go with the $1000 to.

 

HOLY MOLY!!!!! What a decision.. I personally like the Hancock note.. What a BEAUTY.. Personally Rickie buy them all.....lol lol

 

those 2 large size notes are nice but you know how i feel about the small sized notes. especially a $1000 bill

 

if you have no 1000 in your small size NY collection, finish it off and then concentrate on the Large size

 

i have the tombstone, and the hancock is obtainable in the future.. i would go for the $1000 myself.. they are less available then the others, even in the grades listed.

 

I'd put a 1/2 deposit on the $1000 and the other half on the $2.

 

WOW!!!.. Really surprised with the responses!

The Tombstone note only has 123 Known (this variety)

The Hancock with these signatures is even fewer and only a handfull exist in higher grades (This FR#243 is scarce) The FR#242 is more abundant!

The $1000 Series 1934A was the second largets run of the 12 Districts with 139,200 printed, Chicago had the highest printing of ~355,800 and Minneapolis had the smallest of them all, 26,640.

Thanks for the imput guy's.

First off i did not know that but to speak for most i think we all are impressed and goggled eyed with how many numbers are on the bill and how much it is worth, and it also looks somewhat like todays currency even though it is 80 years old its your decision just make sure you are happy with it

 

All beautiful notes. What a dilemma ! Without seeing the statistics, I asked my wife to pick one. She picked the Hancock based on it's beauty. I would pick the Hancock also based on it's rarity. The Tombstone is killer too. I have never seen one. I've seen plenty of $1000's though. #1: Hancock, #2: Tombstone, #3: $1000. Good luck in choosing and I'm sure you'll be happy with whichever one you decide on.......................................John

 

I would go with the $1,000 bill.

 

As much as I would like the $1000 bill, I'd go for the two dollar note. It looks good.

 

You are a very rich man. Buy the $1000 note.

 

I would have to go with the $2 Hancock simply because I like the design and the sig

 

Thank you everyone for the responses....I am looking to make the decision within a few hours or perhaps tomorrow. As soon as I hear back from the Dealer on my proposal....

Stay tuned!!


Regards,

RickieB

 

I voted for the $10 Tombstone, because I love how it looks. The Hancock is beautiful too. Tough decision RickieB good luck, and either way you get a great note :thumb:.
