My father in law found the following dollar in circulation. When he said, "let me get this $1 for you that I found." I was kinda excited then I get this: When he handed it to me I thought he had a bill holder. I know he saw the expression on my face because he asked if he should not have done that. It was LAiMINATED!!!! Tried getting it off but no luck!
Just like friends who buff up the coins they want to give you so they're nice and shiny. "You should have seen how tarnished they were!"
Yep don't know anything about paper but for 53 years old it looked pretty good to me. I definitely would have nice new addition to my paper, but I guess I have to add to my plastic now! Lol
i would mark the date of lamination on it. that way in a hundred years from now, someone you passed it down to can say " this is what condition it was in back then" and of course it wont be pulp.
Lamination has no such authority, to remove the notes "legal tender status". A business or a bank may refuse to take it in a transaction. If a bank accepts the note, they will likely place it in a pile to return to the Federal Reserve for destruction.
Well it's a 1957 Silver Certificate so I will keep it. It is like a fossil now, preserved for prosperity! We all know how long plastic last on this earth.
Not quite preserved as much as damaged for posterity... I don't think you will be "prospering" from this one!
There are ways of removing lamination. The only drawback is it will also remove the ink on the note in the process. Guy
I bought a "courtesy autographed" note off of eBay a while back, with no mention of the lamination. I picked it up pretty cheap, and have others with Angela's autograph, so I don't worry about it much, but I did message the seller that he SHOULD have mentioned it in the description. here it is......
lol either way its a nice bill. I collect because i think back and say wow this coin/paper was here during WWI or WWII or great depression and has such a great history. Being at least 53 years old kinda great might not be worth anything now but maybe a dollar but it sure is a great piece to talk about with people.
In a recent CT contest held by ikandiggit, I won this PCGS graded Series 2006 $1 autographed note by John Markis of Trusted Traditions.com No lamination! :thumb:
