It's Not Pretty But It's Mine

I'm putting together a Small-Size $1 set.
Here's my latest addition.
$1 1928-E Silver Certificate, PMG VG-08
Not the greatest but it fills the hole.

I’m also shopping for a 1928E Ace....

Something in the XF and up range though.

 

Wow.
Catalog says $1000+ for something like that.

 

That number is my budget, and I’m in no hurry.

Your note has all the hallmarks of a survivor “wallet” piece.
The name explains how the note was technically still in circulation without actually being circulated and the leather brown staining. Most of the Fr.1605’s I see are typically lower grade and higher grade notes, with mid grade notes with original paper being hard to find.

 

when building a collection any collection you will have difficult notes or
Expensive notes that are tough so fillers even though not in the best condition
Are always ok in my book

 

I have most of the early varieties.
Still missing:
-- 1928-A Experimental X-B block
-- 1935 Mule
-- 1935 Experimental A-B block
-- 1935 Experimental B-B block
-- 1935 Experimental C-B block

 

I envy you! I don't have the necessary patience for doing justice to notes like this.

 

One of my favorites

 

Oooooo, star note. Nice!
I decided way back that I'd ignore them.
I'm spending enough just for the regular bills.

 

I've recently become a fan of paper when I found a stash in my attic, but I still know zip about them. So you're telling me that the toning premiums don't apply to paper money as well? I think it's a lovely shade of leather "toning", it gives it that "yep, I survived suckas" look.
