6 $1 Silver Certificates up for grabs 1 is a star note.

I would like the notes, as I currently have a note I purchased from the R.D. Bradley collection, and would like to assemble more of them thanks to his contributions to cointalk. Honestly, you should give them to your son, so kids can take into perspective what it was like before clad coinage.

Have your son spend them strategically one at a time. Put them in the right hands and watch the people glow. It would be so much fun for you and your son.

 

Hmmmmm, Pretty much all the angles have been covered from kissing up to the nine year old to playing on the old heart strings. That really doesn't leave much room for me here. If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all so I don't expect to win. And if you ever heard of "Murphys Law" it states "That if it could it would happen" well I have discovered a new one it's called "COLESLAW" I haven't really figured out if it works to my advantage or not but I hope your son sees the humor in it. Anything to do with coins or currency really excites me and anything I can get for free or by winning is just that much better. And last but not least remember nothing ventured nothing gained. Thanks for postiong the contest and giving us something to be excited about.

 

Very generous Rickie. I've seen you do this before, and I'm sure I'll see it again.

I would love to see these notes go to the "Young Notables". It's a numismatic after-school class taught by Frank Renberg. It exists with donations from generous collectors, and with the help of PCGS. I've won some contest's here myself, and had the prizes forwarded directly to Frank and his class. If anyone would like to get a sample of what Frank is doing to promote numismatics for the next generation, you can view it here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFO3Lj1hfik.

Thanks again for your ongoing generosity Rickie.

 

I would love to have these silver certificates, because they are from a very special time in U.S. history, the depression era, wartime, and peacetime. These would be a great addition to my small note collection, as I don't have a silver certificate yet, and I have a limited budget. I am learning more and more about notes every day, and these would help me with learning about the numismatic history of the US. The fact that these notes are circulated heavily doesn't deter me, as it is even more special because it was held by many people. If I don't win them, well, thanks for being generous with this opportunity RickieB, and good luck to whoever gets them.

 

When I was 9 months old my mom met a man named Bill who would go on to adopt me as his child a few years later. He put some silver certificates in my baby album. I now know my real dad which is the reason I started collecting but adore Bill who is my daddy. When I was 16, (young and stupid) I spent the silver certificates not realizing they meant anything. They were just money to me. It broke my moms heart when she found them missing and I have been trying for the last 12 years to get and send her a couple to put where they belong. Although they won't be the same ones my daddy gave me I think it would make my mom know that I care enough to try and replace what I messed up.

Good morning Rickie B.,

Your offer for 6 $1 Silver Certificates is so generous! I have a small collection of silver certificates and would love to add more if I had the resources to do so. The collection I've started are mostly handed down from members of my family who have passed away. My Mother gave me 4 of them a few years ago that were given to her as a young girl. I keep a card with each certificate, that describes it's origin and how it made it's way into my collection. One day, I hope to have a complete collection. Your silver certificates would have a good home in California, an excellent climate. The mild dry climate is perfect for preserving antiques, coins, and currency.

Hope to hear from you!

My Best, J.
