Message:: [QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 341731, member: 12789"]These and the others on my site in the USA banknotes section were all part of a collection of 46 notes that a bank official bought from over the counter receipts in a Grand Rapids Michigan bank over a period of approximately 40-45 years beginning in the 1930's through the 1970's.  Incredibly the estate sold these to a dealer for a fixed price and I then snapped them up before they made it to one of the auction houses.  There are 4 Legal Tender $10's from 1862-3 in the lot, one $5, and a $20 from 1862, as well as the "Rainbow" $20 from 1869, Legal Tender $20s' and $50's from 1880, several Nationals etc.  A couple of the Nationals are previously unknown.  I think the $50 from 1909 is my all time favourite note of all, not my most expensive ever, but just a lovely vignette on the reverse, large denomination.  I will have fun owning them for a bit, then I think they need to find homes with people that specialise in that field, not myself.[/QUOTE]
