<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1445391, member: 37925&quot;]Hey all,</p><p><br /></p><p>So I am a beginning collector. I got started by finding star notes, and reading about them. They sounded neat. Then one day I pulled an uncirculated $20 from an ATM with serial number GF 00066600*, and subsequently sold it on ebay for $101. Unfortunately, I don&#039;t have any more photos of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my collection is growing and today I purchased a 1907 $10 Teehee/Burke Gold Certificate. I would grade it conservatively an EF40 because of the pale color seal and serial. If it was brighter, a definite 45 in my book. I talked the guy down from $645 sticker to about $525. But I still feel I over paid a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s some shots of it:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/twidgetfitch/Money/9aa597c4.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/twidgetfitch/Money/9aa597c4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/twidgetfitch/Money/9aa597c4.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/twidgetfitch/Money/c8101b83.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/twidgetfitch/Money/c8101b83.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/twidgetfitch/Money/c8101b83.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the photos of my collection: <a href="http://photobucket.com/funkeemoney" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://photobucket.com/funkeemoney" rel="nofollow">http://photobucket.com/funkeemoney</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I got a steal on some of them on eBay:</p><p><br /></p><p>$1 1935A Hawaii note, my grade EF 40 at $25</p><p>$5 1934A North Africa note, my grade AU 50 at $40</p><p>$5 1934A Silver Certificate, my grade EF 45 at $17</p><p><br /></p><p>The rest of my collection:</p><p><br /></p><p>$1 1928A Silver Certificate, their grade EF 40 at $40</p><p>$1 1957 Silver Certificate, my grade GU 63 at $5</p><p>$1 1957B Star Silver Certificate, my grade VG 15 at $5</p><p>$2 1963 Legal Tender Star Note, my grade AU 50 at $35</p><p>5x $2 1953,A,C ranging from VF 25 to EF 40 at $4-$5 each</p><p>$5 1963 Star Legal Tender Note SN *01001100A, my grade VG 15 at $25</p><p>$10 1995 Star Federal Reserve Note, my grade GU 63, $20</p><p><br /></p><p>$1 Large Size 1923 Silver Certificate, my grade VF $20 for $36</p><p>$10 Large Size 1907 Gold Certificate Teehee/Burke FR 1172 at $525</p><p><br /></p><p>There are 2 2003 $2 FRNs from a bank teller, and a 1995 $2 FRN as a free gift, all with ink smears. Plus a random 1993 $20 FRN in VF. I needed something to put in the spare bill holder I had!</p><p><br /></p><p>Two additional questions: </p><p><br /></p><p>1. There was some conflicting from my book to the owner&#039;s on the 1922&nbsp; notes. Which ones are worth more, the small serial numbers or the large&nbsp; ones? </p><p>2. Are the semi-rigid holders - the ones the bills are in, bad for long term storage? I heard they are, but I prefer the rigid ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
