[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 24673812, member: 73266"]Steve, I really have no plans, for now they are trophys for taking a gamble on collecting these notes when their existence was only a rumor and a lot of spare time spent looking for mates. I don’t look as much now as I used to because I have been working on a bigger dream of mine but still do search every so often. I searched for a match for a long time just wondering if someone else was doing the same. Then health issues caused me to stop for nearly 3 years. If it had not been for Mr Winograd and Mr. Zegers I may have stopped all together. I have a little over a thousand of the notes within the duplicate range with over 700 of them uncirculated. The first pair I matched over 2 years ago (closer to three now) with another collector who was the very first to make a match of these notes. I don't know him personally, but he is a very generous guy who I would like to meet in person sometime. I have an uncirculated 100 pack of these notes that I acquired in 2017. I made three matches that all came from that same pack. Two of those are pictured above, the third I'm negotiating for. The pack I bought off of a guy in Pennsylvania. The first match to those notes, came from Washington State, the second match came from South Carolina, and the third is in Indiana. Just that bit of history is kinda cool. For the third pair, i had bought a 100 pack of these notes from a bank teller, again in 2017, and matched one of those with a person in Illinois last fall. I have met a great deal of very nice people who collect currency on this journey, and have also met a couple not so nice but it has been fun in either case.[/QUOTE]
