<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 1408346, member: 13307&quot;]To both of you, I just want to say a quick thank you.&nbsp; I realize that my not having excellent photos (relying on the seller to provide...) and not having a vast knowledge base in regards to paper money, I am putting you in a difficult position of trying to provide advice without full information.&nbsp; I realize this, and as such I am happy with more generalized information at this point.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d say I have a fair grasp of situations like these when it comes to coins.&nbsp; Paper, however...I just haven&#039;t really been that into it until recently.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a couple pretty beautiful notes - but nothing special.&nbsp; I save stars, and any cool serials.&nbsp; That&#039;s about it...</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an opportunity to buy this note as well as 3 others.&nbsp; These three other notes would be ones I want to keep...a 1928 and 1928A blue seal silver cert $1 in decent shape (by this I mean well circulated, but no tears or discolorations...) and a $10 1934 A gold seal North Africa note.&nbsp; The seller has quoted a price of $150 for all four notes - now, I can look up prices in my paper money books with the best of them...but I&#039;d be realistic and say that my paper grading skills are rudimentary at best.&nbsp; It will be one of the first things I do this summer, collecting-wise...but until then...I need to ask friends.&nbsp; I&#039;m interested...but I don&#039;t want to lose my shirt.&nbsp; At present, I&#039;m leaning far in the direction of &quot;don&#039;t buy&quot; unless told otherwise.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From what it sounds like here, I was right that the seller has overvalued their $20 gold cert (thinks it&#039;s worth $150, selling for $100.)&nbsp; I don&#039;t want to take the guy to the cleaners, nor do I want to lose a lot of money on the deal.&nbsp; I&#039;d prefer a happy medium where we both get treated fairly.&nbsp; However, if he&#039;s got a false opinion of what his stuff is worth...then it&#039;s time to move on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, thank you all for your comments - and feel free to add any (if needed) because I&#039;m here to learn, enjoy, and converse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
