A Mile Stone in my Collection...

Many of you know that I hold a special regard for the Large Size Red Serial Number Series 1880 Brown Seal Notes..($10 JackAss)
Well tonight I worked out a deal with a friend who had the much needed Fr 102 a former note of the xxx Collection in a 64 PPQ PMG Holder. It may take a little time to finish, but hey it's secure.

I now have the 1880 Red Serial Number- Brown Seal Series Set- Fr 100, Fr 101 and Fr 102 all in a nice Grade for the Large Size Collection...I am going to pop the cork on a nice bottle to celebrate!!

Since I have not taken physical possession of the note yet, I have asked the current owner if I can use the image..(approval granted)
Big smiles all over the place here..
Here they are all together..







I just posted the 100 and 101 in a different thread..so please forgive me for the redundant images..

A truly remarkable set there my friend!!

 

Congrats Rickie, great note!

 

Beautiful note Rick!

 

Bee-yoo-tee-full jackasses, Rickie! I love those things and you picked up some nice ones! Congrats!

 

Incredible achievement! Thanks for sharing here with CT! Congrats!

 

Congrats on the mile stone Rick! It must be nice to complete one of your big goals! Good luck with the rest and beautiful notes I might add!

 

That's a wonderful note and a great find for your collection. Congratulations.

 

So nice! It would be hard to put that one into the safe.. I would just want to stair at it all day!! Cheers to you!

 

Rick, fantastic looking note. I really like the designs!

Since I'm just getting started, maybe you could provide a little info for the newb. Why are these referred to as "jackass" notes?

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words... It has taken 5 years to put these 3 together.. (Finding the right ones)


TCore:

Feel free to copy an image of the $10 and simply rotate it 180 degrees..look at the eagle inverted and you will see the wings look like the neck of a Jackass and once you see this you will make out the rest of it. The head is the nose portion of the animal.

Ah, yes... I DO remember seeing this a while ago. It's funny how much it actually does look like a jackass. Thanks Rick! Again, beautiful collection. I see the census numbers for these notes are quite low. You should be very proud to be the current owner of these.

 

TCore..

Thank you again..yes the census numbers on 2 of them are under 100 and 1 is above this mark slightly...108 I think.
I am very happy to have these and I am sure AJ (my son) will be one day as well.

Regards,

Rick
