    The Fr 100 came in today and just wanted to image them (Jack-A**es) together..
    Hope you like them as much as I do..They all have the common back.

    Beautiful banknotes, Rickie! Why are they called jackasses?

    Guy's.. if you invert the notes the Eagle takes the apperance of a Jack-A**. The Eagles wings become the Jack-A**es Ears..LOL

    Feel free to copy the image and rotate it 180 degrees and you will see it..

    Thanks for stopping by...I have such a long way to go...

    I just picked up another Large Size Blue Seal NY that I needed for the NY set Series 1914..that will be here in a few days..

    2 more to complete the 1914 New York $5 Blue Seal Issues.

    I forgot to add that at current, there are just over 50 pieces of the Fr 100 known. I would like to thank a special friend for helping me obtain this rare note.

    Very nice! I really like the last one with the bright red seal and blue serial numbers. That note (any jackass) is probably in my top 3 large size notes I'd like to add to the collection someday.

    btw: I was checking to see which note had the highest population on PMG and FR107 had 269. They have a population of 61 for FR100 so it seems like there would have to be well over 50 known on that one.

    As for why it's called a jackass note, if you turn the eagle...

    The Population report I was going by was a little aged..thanks for the update. I no longer have access to PCGS reports..
    I am currently inquiring about the Fr 102 as wll in a PMG 64EPQ.
    This will complete the Series 1880 Large Size Brown Seals and Red Serial Numbers for the $10 Legal Tender Notes for me..one of my favorite notes and most favorite seal.

    Regards,

    Nice Notes, RickieB!

    Do you happen to know if the JackA** was created out of coincidence or is there are back story to them?

    Pretty sure it was totally unintentional....and why does everyone type Jacka** instead of Jackass? I doubt anyone is offended by that term and if they are, they really shouldn't be on the internet at all. ;)

    Probably has a lot to do with Rule #1 of CT

    Not that I mind it either way, the stars just coyly point out a 'curse'-like word that anyone of any age who can read can probably figure out for themselves.

    FWIT: We never see stuff like: A**a**ination, a**ociation nor a*inine spelled with self-censored type, but if we do, we still get the point. :smile
