<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Honolulu Dick, post: 1021752, member: 24745&quot;]That&#039;s one mighty gorgeous $20 lady you acquired.&nbsp; Seeing that she has not been used, abused, neglected or otherwise disparaged, and comes with an established pedigree, she is worth more than plenty.&nbsp; As the saying goes, &quot;A good woman is hard to find&quot; and you did a whole lot better than just good.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, as we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.&nbsp; Also, that it is highly subjective.&nbsp; Every time I saw one, I thought those retro-boxy Sycions were as ugly as they come.&nbsp; Now that I&#039;ve seen how wretched looking the Tata is, I&#039;m reevaluating appearances.</p><p><br /></p><p>This weekend, the 47th Hawaiian Coin Show is being held for 3-days in the Hawaiian Convention Center, in Honolulu.&nbsp; Over a hundred dealers were offering their wares.&nbsp; While talking to one of the officials, it was learned that space limitations had resulted in over 40 dealers being refused attendance.&nbsp; This is being mentioned only to highlight that our hobby continues to show its penchant for growth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every one of the many dealers displaying paper was asked if they had any MPC with him/her.&nbsp; Only one thought he had one stuck away in his paper junk box.&nbsp; After searching, he pulled out a crisp, non-circulated, no folds and sharp cornered Series 541, 25-cent note that was sheltered in a clear note protector.&nbsp; I would love to believe my find to be a Gem New 65 or higher.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the white borders are showing the signs of slight discoloration.&nbsp; Therefore, I&#039;m probably the proud owner of a Choice About New 55 to 58 grade note.&nbsp; With luck, it may grade a Choice New 64.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was my intention to start a new thread to announce my precious find, however, the perfect $20 lady, the subject of this thread, certainly causes my paltry 25-cent note to take a back-of-the-bus seat.&nbsp; Oh well, life continues.&nbsp; I&#039;m well pleased with my new find and, more importantly, I&#039;m thrilled to see a perfect $20 lady.&nbsp; Had no idea that perfect ones existed [I&#039;m not quite certain if this is a pun or not].</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing.&nbsp; Good on you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
