<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1745775, member: 19065&quot;]The paper money market is a strong one, and collectors do pay strong premiums for notes. Serious money changes hands for rare notes and we can understand the fragility of paper money to that of coins, for how precious some notes are that remain in existence. Think of all the things that conspire against notes remaining in good condition or which would cause them to deteriorate or be unattractive to collectors. PM collectors certainly appreciate the pleasure you precisely noted about populations and scarcity of notes out there. It&#039;s amazing that paper money can be so neglected by so many coin oriented numismatic hobbyists and that coin mintages so bewilderingly high are accepted as rarities when notes really are rare in many instances.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A lot of currency is dealt on individual dealers websites, and if you have only been sifting through eBay auctions, you might really like to delve into the dealer inventory. At the very least, if you haven&#039;t, check out Heritage Auctions, too, if for nothing other than the auction archives you can do your research on notes, compare different types within series and take advantage of the population in formation they share for free in their listing from TPGs like PMG and PCGS Currency who have graded notes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If National Currency is your thing, check out the site: <a href="http://nationalcurrencyfoundation.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://nationalcurrencyfoundation.com" rel="nofollow">nationalcurrencyfoundation.com</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For an example of a good dealer with online inventories to peruse, try <a href="http://www.denlys.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.denlys.com/" rel="nofollow">Denly&#039;s of Boston</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are other resources out there, but you may already know of ones you prefer or have fun searching for others on your own. If not, let the PM folks here know what you are looking for to get some direction, if you need any more help. Regards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
