Message:: [QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3305558, member: 99642"]Ok, I don't think that's called a transitional year.  That bill with the JFK stamp on it, is most likely called a First Day of Issue Bill with Stamp.  A lot of it is blurry and I can't read it all, but it most likely commemorates the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, in 1963. The bill is probably dated 1963 and so is the stamp. But again Rob, the bad news is the condition. Not only wear and stains, but somebody wrote on it.  If that handwritten note is by JFK and he also signed it, You're in the Money !  but sadly, it's not. That looks like a note from " mama ". There are guys who collect First Day Issues but they want them Pristine and Perfect, nothing can be on them or wrong with them. But Hey, you've got more stuff to add to your Oddities Show and Tell box. That's where you keep stuff that has no real marketable value but is different enough to keep.If I had those bills you have, I would keep them. Some of the other members have also said the same thing . You're getting there Rob and you're building up a nice little collection. Thanks for posting and remember, you're always Welcome at Coin Talk !![/QUOTE]
