I've just started and have about a dozen of the lower priced early commemoratives. Since it's a "fun" collection for me, I look for the XF/AU...
No, but then I don't actively collect currency. One comment: From what little I do know about currency, this sounds suspiciously like a note...
My insurance is essentially the same. But the value of the contents plus the collection goes way pass the calculated percentage.
OPEN QUESTION: I've got a 2002 Red Book with a broken binding that I'm willing to donate to the OP. How can I get his address without having him...
