    Today's new pickup is a pretty tough Confederate to get, the 1861 Twenty T-17. The green overprint is very interesting on this note, unlike most overprints, this includes alot of design elements in the overprint, not just a valuation text and such...

    Today's new pickup is a sharp looking obsolete, this ABNCo designed $1 from Maryland's Somerset and Worcester Savings Bank. You can always tell that quality ABNCo engraving, and that green back makes me positively hyp-no-tizeeeeed.

    Awesome obsolete MEC2, especially the back.

    Today's new pickup is another obsolete, this one a big money $100 from the State of Georgia in 1864. A somewhat harder note to get, it's similar in style to it's other denominations from the same year. Ceres at the center I think and the red overprint which only came on the higher denominations... gotta save that red ink.

    Thanks for the pic's frog. Are these "keepers" to you, or just cool finds you'll spend later ?

    That's a sweet example MEC. I am a little curious, where is the green protector that these usually have? Here's my example with the protector. You might have an error on this one!

    here is some funny money can you can you spot the counterfeit? well nevermind the black mark on the note gives it away interesting though. the 20 came from my friends shop that he owns. Someone shrunk the one dollar note and tried spending it. It's real, still legal tender or would it be considered altered?

    Hey kook - I've seen this with green, red, and no protector. I think the no protector is much rarer and perhaps an earlier issue, most of them (of the few I've seen) are heavily circ'd. The red and green are more common.

    Today's new pickup is a New York Loan Company $10, a great looking design. Love the design on the left, great color, that ink gall, just looks perfectly aged and like a typical old bank note...

    Today's new pickup is from that topically newsworthy country of Greece, home to over a century of monetary shenanigans. This 1922 (says 1917 but wasn't released until 1922) Two Drachma note is a snazzy little design, I really like the crimson and subtle rainbow coloring of the front of this note. A smaller note in hand, considered something of a fractional currency (even though it is a ordinal number of drachma), the back also has a nice color shifting design. Still, it's the front that I love, great design by the quality workmen at Bradbury Wilkinson... and in a nice condition to boot.

    A new day, a new pickup, this one an obsolete $1 from the Augusta Insurance and Banking Co... Pat Lyon at the forge in this famous scene, and several dimensional cameos in the design, which I also always love...

    Today's new pickup is a nice looking dual color obsolete, this Merchants and Planters $5 with a nice face-wide center engraving and loads of color. Always like a red overprint and this Georgia obsolete incorporates it everywhere. This note foreshadows Luke in the cockpit with it's numerous red 5's standing by...

    Great notes MEC. I think 150 pages of the 188 so far are your notes alone.

    picked up some good ones today. this is nicest. the tiny corner tear is less than 1mm wide...but enough for PMG to stick a "net" grade on it. 10c fractional obverse.jpg 10c fractional reverse.jpg 10c fractional corner.jpg
