[QUOTE="MEC2, post: 1473717, member: 38692"]Depends on how picky you are on grade. To me, a Buffalo, Chief, and a $5 Educational are the top 3 gets. The Battleship is #4 and maybe the Black Eagle and other Educationals next. You can get a high VF Chief, a VF Buffalo, or a VG-F $5 Educational for $1k. If you go for a common district, you can get a nice VF Battleship and have enough left over for a high VF Black Eagle of a more common vintage. Since the Battleship speaks to you, go for it. Richmond is not one of the easier gets. Not alot of them out there, you may have to be patient and bide your time. I agree with your dealer by the way, too much of the value of the $500 and $1000 are tied up in the denomination, and not the collectible value. I don't think these notes are going to appreciate that much simply because as the value of the dollar shrinks, so does the large component of their pricing. Others may differ, but that's kept me from going after a $500. If you don't care about District, get one of the more common ones and pocket the savings for other notes.
