Hello Guy's.... Well I am at it again. I just added this note to the 4th Issue Fractionals. It is the watermarked Fr1267 in Gem. Just two more notes in the 15 cent denomination to go and 1 more Washington 25cent note to completion! The Fr 1271 "Watermarked" variety will be big $$$ if I can find it and will be the pinnacle of the 4th Issue Series. This denomination has the Bust of Columbia as all 4 of the 15 cent notes of the 4th Issue. I am excited because I am getting so close to finishing... Also have two other Obsolete Railroad notes out on Bid....if I get them then..well let's say that I have never seen such artistic engraving before! Hope to show you guy's two more notes by next Friday... RickieB
this is one of my favorites fractionals. Yours, is a few grades higher then mine Lol another beautiful addition to your collection RickieB
Good day Daggerjohn... I feel for your wife getting put on notice on her new job. That blows for sure. When I said I was trying to catch up with you and Steve....it was a pun for the posting you made "I hate you" :smile...which I got a great kick out of that one. I hope she recovers very soon and I am sure things will get better.As for the quality of notes, well I tend to go over board but that is how I was taught from some old dealer friends....buy the best you can afford and then go 1 step over that! As crazy as it sounds, the notes and coins are really a long term investment for my Son. I will never see the gains from them and I accept that. With things getting tighter and the economy in a tail spin...well I will be cutting back as well. I just have my eye on a few notes that I would like to have....this winter I will be working on my website as a filler to buying notes....lets all hope for better things to happen in 2008! God Bless... RickieB
no worries mate! I fully expected some friendly backlash with the comment i made and i got some My family will make it through the storm, it will just be tough. I have my website to keep me busy, and have a ton of content to scan, post, and do write ups about. So i wont be totaly outside of my hobby! you MUST share the web addy when your site is up! I know alot of us will love to revisit some of the notes you have posted! Will you be designing the site yourself with a WYSIWYG app like Dreamweaver, or using a site like what De Orc uses?
Rickie that is a wonderful looking note :bow: And Daggerjon all the best to the Mrs and yourself mate, I hope things pick up for you.
Thanks DeOrc...I appreciate the comments. I just learned that this and a few other notes that I bought all came from the Boyd Ford Collection! Mr. Ford had accumulated the largest Fractional Currency ccollection known! The quality of this material is ...well you can see it. I am just thrilled to own part of this collection. I just wished it was graded! The information was told to be by the Renound, Mr. Don Kelly Regards, RickieB
Hey Daggerjohn... I will be using a free form template and just basic stuff since I do not really know what I am doing here...LOL I am not much of an HTML person..never sat down it before..but plan to. RickieB
Well, RickieB ... i barely knew how to spell HTML when i started! I just used trail and (alot of) error. I started using plain HTML, but had too many issues with navigation, so swicthed to using mostly PHP with some HTML in the background- and javascript for the fun stuff. It might not be the ebst site on the Net, but i think its turned out OK I will tell you what, as limited as my knowledge is, if you have any questions, im always a PM away
Just amazing artwork on those older notes! Spectacular Rickie! Two thumbs up! :thumb: :thumb: Phoenix
