Thanks for your input. I had suspected as much, but was curious what others might have to say on the issue. Thanks again for your response ☺
Ok first of all, please note this is not in any way an area of expertise for me. That being said, here is my best shot at an answer. I would say...
I try to never post anything that could be perceived as demeaning or as a verbal attack. We're all hobbyists in the same field and we're all...
Honestly grading is one of my weak suits but I'll give it a shot.
I seriously doubt I would ever part with these, but I'm curious what sort of premium, if any these two star notes might carry. I have a few more...
Pretty neat. I wouldn't consider myself a paper collector either, as I never go out of my way to buy bills. However I find it impossible to bring...

Certainly. Any die can deteriorate, including doubled dies.
Looks like it could possibly be a very late die state of this vaiety:...

Definitely interesting. No idea if it's worth anything though.
Thats normal for any penny 1918-date. So no premium based on the initials anyway.
I found it looking through my jar of zincs. I started buying boxes of cents and sorting out the wheats and copper memorials from the zinc...
What grade do you think it would get? I was thinking maybe anywhere in the 55-62 range myself, but I'm not very good at grading so I'm not sure.
