Very nice Beef!

 

Nice Beef...picking up some tougher ones eh? Congrat3s.

 

Quick general question. What are you all doing with the 2003 $2 bills. Where they just printed as collector items or where they actually released? Are you including them in the set?

 

I went through the Schwartz Lindquist book and made a spreadsheet of all the notes for $1 - $20 including stars and it is 264 notes in total!!! Quite daunting, that includes the large size federal reserve notes too. So two more pickups for Richmond, which means I only have 259 to go!

 

I feel your pain with the realization of how big a challenge this collection will be once you've put together a spreadsheet.

Nice ★ notes! And a great grade on the $20★ too!

 

Nice start Beef!!
Rome wan't built in a day.
And this isn't a sprint...just take your time and you'll have 25% before you know it.

 

So... Three more notes down.

2003A $1 radar:


1999 $5 * from run of 384,000

 

1999 $10 * run of 640,000, total number of E* 675,200


I hope you all can help me a little. This batch of notes are relatively recent prints and were bought raw, can you all help a little with grading as I don't fully understand it?

All of these notes are uncirculated fresh from packs, but I want some idea of how the grades are based on the front and back and margins. I think the $1 and the $5 are at least gem, but the back of the $5 has a larger margin on the bottom. I think the $10 is probably choice based on the bottom margin on the front. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated, please be critical.

 

Picked up the following recently, a little older then I said I was going to collect but still SF.

Here is where I stand,

Small bills
$1 23 of 24, missing 1981A

$2* 1 of 1

$10 10 of 34

large bills FR

Very nice pickups!

 

ditto that! I love Nationals!!!

 

Guys,
I have a $100.00 that's has a lower # that's not listed in the "Small-Size U.S. Paper Money", 6th edition by Oakes and Schwartz. It's # is AE00048615*/E5/A1/A304/145 in F condition. The book list on p. 300 as the low # starting at AE00885531*, High as AE03200000*.
My question is how to let the authors know that the low is lower? -O)

 

Well it is now Schwartz/Lindquist...9th Edition

Simply drop Scott an email...scott@scottlindquist.com

I have bought a few smaller notes as well but was too lazy to take pictures. I think the last one was a $1 1985 star.

 

got my first philly star note today!! it's been used, but i got it in change, so i'm excited!! $1, series 2003A, sn C06870486*... from a run of 608,000 i believe!!

Next up... My first large size FRN for my district set:


F-874 1914 $5 FRN St. Louis (8-H) Blue Seal






I would like to aim higher for stain-free notes and bright paper, but the stains (mainly around the margins) didn't bother me too much since the portrait is free of stains, severe creases and no pin-holes. Heritage says this note is a F to VF. This note is also (finally!) my first HA win. :smile
