I've been gone from this thread for a while, but here's 1 of 2 new acquisitions. The 2nd one is on its way and even better than this. My first...
Unless you've got a star note, they're not worth anything over face. The only reason people are buying them for $115+ on eBay, is because they're...
Sandwiched between cardboard and placed in a rigid photo mailer: [IMG] Don't buy them in brick-n-mortar stores, where they sell for $1 to $2 a...
Don't forget the 1886 silver certificates and the 1890 treasury notes: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Very interesting find. I have never encountered this before. You're going to need to find an advanced error collector or dealer for something...
Doesn't look like it. A note with the Speelman/White signature combination (or Elliot/White) is considered a mule because it uses a back plate...
Educationals, bisons, and chiefs are all over-priced when you only consider scarcity. But demand plays a really big role. They are popular notes....

Sadly no, but don't give up hope. I was actually looking for the inverted W 1957 at the time I found it. I had recently read the article of the...

A google search for George F.C. Smillie led me to this find. I was researching engravers for the educational series from a different thread.
Do not cut the sheet up! You'll never be able to reassemble it. It's a piece of history that you are cutting up. There are a ton of single notes...
Maybe $3 on eBay in its current condition. But with shipping and fees, you'll probably lose money. It's a low serial number but from a large...
I thought this was an interesting read. In a hearing before the "Committee on Printing", which discussed the merits of hand presses and power...
This is what I found on wikipedia: $1 "History instructing Youth" Front Face Designer: Will H. Low Engraver: Charles Schlecht Rear Back Designer:...
There was a revised "draped" 1897 $5 and proposed $10: [IMG] [IMG] Some info at the bottom of this article:...
I like educationals too. Fantastic stuff.
The ornamental 1890 treasury notes are my favorite. The $50 version was never released, but is one of the most beautifully designed. I feel...
Impressive! I can say I'm thoroughly jealous.
