    I thought that this $20 is in very good condition - so when my friend came across it, I bought it off of him for face value and saved it from further circulation and an untimely death at the hands of a member of the federal reserve system. :hammer:

    The color of this bill is much deeper than the $20s from the 80s or 90s - it really looks sharp.

    The scan came out a little weird (crooked).

    So, what do you think? Comments? :hail:

    what do i think? a very nice note for face value!!! Its tough to tell a grade with all the borders clipped from the scan. but io would guess it would grade higher that about good :D :D

    Thar be godless dollars you heathen, ARRRRR!!!

    It's funny when I see all these chain e-mails about godless dollars and think about how these people
    don't realize that the motto was only added to paper currency 50 years ago.

    thats a sweet note for face value. Congrats.

    Thanks! It seems like these types of bills make their way into circulation around the holidays. I guess people's budgets get a little tighter and they dig deep and pull gems like this one out :)

    nice find!:kewl: i'd keep that and not spend it. its worth a couple bucks over face value but the value can always go up on this kind of stuff.

    withous pics wheatman21, no one can assign any value to a note. like coins, the notes grade is the highest determining item for value.
