If you're ill and you go to a doctor, but your illness is so unique that the doctor can't make a diagnosis, do you refuse to pay them because they...
Wow. [IMG] [IMG]
You are correct. Paper is easily damaged by heat; it reacts with oxygen (combusts) at high temperatures. However, US currency is not made from...
Pardon me, I was not referring to an iron. By "pressing" a note, I was referring to the use of a weighted object to flatten the note, with the...
A co-worker of mine worked at a well known bank. The $5 dispensing ATMs in their particular neighborhood were a strong selling point for new...
Only 128,000 of the 1966* were printed. So yes quite scarce. And MEC2; I know you buy these notes from your secret fishing hole, but you are...
Nice find. Sounds like a good deal. Be careful pressing notes. You will likely cost them a potential EPQ/PPQ rating if you were to have them...
There are many machines out there that dispense other denominations. Some dispense 10s, some 5s, and a small number will even dispense 1s. BoA,...
Here is my opinion: The 2006 $1 star is face value. The 1934D $5 with the purple mark on it might fetch $10 to $12. The 1953 $2 star is...

Numbers has it right. This is a legitimate error and is called a Misaligned overprint of one color. If the note is uncirculated, I would put it...
If you must send it without a sleeve or holder... do what I did. Grab a DVD case, preferably to a game so it comes with a booklet. Put the note...
Congrats to Kasia! It's a shame I only caught the tail end of the contest. I would support having more contests like these.
I have this note listed in Uncirculated-60 at $35. I would say you might be looking at $15 to $20 in Very Fine.
I must say I'm loving these unissued designs. Where did you pick these up?
The $500 and $1000 notes are relatively common. You can buy one for a little more than face value, in low to mid grade (Good to Very Fine). It...
Don't iron your notes. Pressing the notes is frequently frowned upon, but I think it's perfectly acceptable in some situations. If you plan on...
NGC and PCGS are both well known and reputable 3rd party graders. You can shop around and find some smaller companies that charge less, but their...
Separate names with a comma.
