Nice JIM guys! Thanks for the background info @SensibleSal66. Personally, I would like to add a Victory series note to my world collection (one...
LOL nice pun! I like the 100 Pengos (P-111) & picked one up a few years ago. It reminds me of the Danube River & viewing the parliament buildings...
I gotta answer this because I've always stated that my "holy grail" note was the Bank of Canada $25.00 commemorative banknote from 1935 (French or...
+1 The wrinkles show up on both the front & back, but especially on the back. These notes were in a wallet. My point is not to assume the notes...
- That could be a very costly assumption. Just b/c serial numbers are consecutive does not mean they're "uncirculated." Many consecutive notes...
I used to go to shows with notes like that (actually, they were in better shape) & then buy a collectible note (smaller tough change over, radar...
If I were you, I would reach out to other forum members b/c most just wish to break even & buy something else. Some of my best deals came from...

+1 -I would take them into your LCS & ask the dealer there what he/she thinks. They can settle the matter quickly.
+1 If you'd like to fully understand the BEP's Federal Reserve Banks, Serial numbers & Block system then I would encourage you to check out this...
Part2 (page 4) The 3rd note down looks to be P-99a(3) 1 Peso Oro from the Dominican Republic 1970. It has quite a bit of graffiti but other than...
Wow, those are very respectable nice grades. Probably just a bit of minor handling. Congrats!
I wouldn't be patronizing that auction again. To me, repairs & issues should be stated before any auction & most of the top tier auction houses...
They're specimens & typically have serial number 000000 with the same initial prefix. Nothing special & super overpriced IMO. Not sure why...
