    Ugh, keep missing days to post notes, just puts me further behind... today's new pickup is this $2 obsolete from the North Western Bank. Well done design by those fine folks at NBNCo soon to merge with ABNCo, and the 2 emblems in the corners should look familiar as they are used on other notes. Though you'd think with the deer engraving and this denomination they'd put another stag, so it'd be two bucks on two bucks...

    MEC2, actually there are a couple more male deer in the vignette, in the South we call them "spikes", ones with the two small horns, can't legally hunt them at that age, however.

    Well that's why I said stag, since only adults usually get called bucks... speaking of bucks, here's a ten buck note, this brown seal jackass note. Now I have a nice red seal and a brown seal. Another seal and we can command a side ring at Ringling Brothers...

    Well, I hate to break up all the great notes that MEC2 is sharing with us, but I wanted to share my latest; it's not so much an acquisition as it was a gift from a friend: nice up and down ladder note from Korea:

    Today's new pickup is this sharp as get out $20 from the Bank of Augusta. Nice big engraving here, you get it all - an eagle, a train, a ship, a president, another train, large center engraving really stands out on this design...

    Another day, another pickup, another obsolete, another $20... this one from the sought after Monticello Bank. Always well bid on, as my underbidding can attest, these notes have a big engraving of Monticello and other nice features that make them highly collectible. This one is well worn and might have been in a PVC holder that really colored the hell out of it. But, I'll take it...

    Is it worth getting these remainder notes? See a lot of them but I passed on them even though some of the notes were awesome looking. I like the signatures

    I picked these up on my last trip. Just got them today in the box that I mailed myself. I doubt they are seen too often outside of their home countries. :)

    Today's new pickup is this sharp $5 remainder from the Bank of New England. And not just any Bank of New England, but the one at Goodspeed's Landing. Just so you don't confuse it with Knots Landing...

    Nice obsolete design from the talented chaps at ABNCo, really like the shipbuilding engraving on the left. The green overprint helps the girl at center say "hey sailor" with a wink and a nod...

    Today's new pickup was something I decided to get once I heard there was a big olde dragon on a note... this 5 mark note from Germany does indeed have a big olde dragon on it. I like it... and the front is pretty nice too!
