Beautiful Notes Old Bucks... I really like the Black Eagle and the Canadian currency! :thumb::thumb: Thanks for sharing with us!! RickieB
the colonial currency is amazing! i don't know much about "notaphily," so i'm not sure -- what does something like that cost, and how hard is it to come by? you don't have to answer, of course. at any rate, nice notes all. v.
those are stunning notes, just breath taking!!! i must admit though, i dont think i have ever seen that fractional before ... i just doesnt look familiar lol you know the first thing i am going to do tomorrow is crack open my firedberg book and wonder how i missed it VERY NICE :thumb: thanks for showing us!!!
Thank you all for your kind words. It is appreciated. I will post some more. I have plenty. Vercingetorix The RI-300 is worth about $225. Considering rarity compared to coins, undervalued and under-appreciated. Thats why I am constantly buying more. I find them by talking with other dealers in my network, going to shows and research. Seek and ye will find. luc87 You bet the Canadian currency is great looking. Much better than the US currency in the last 80 years. I like them because they are readily available, have a strong community of collectors and they are appreciating in value. You can put a nice type collection together without spending a fortune. It all depends on what group you want. Here is one of several red back Justice Fractional 3rd issues I have. This one is autographed, not printed signatures. It is graded XF and is a Fr.1355. (I have an AU but it isnt scanned in.) Jeff This is a Fr 1291spnmb (specimen narrow margin back) of a Fessedon $.25. The bronze overprint is bright and gold looking. This is spectacular.!!!

Once again I am in awe of the some of the things that get shown on this forum, Old Buck many Thanks for sharing these with us :bow: And I would also like to thank DJ for my 1st ever Fractional Note :thumb:
That silver certificate is really making me miss the notes I sold off awhile back. I also love that 40 shillings note and the fractionals.
