One last question. . .

I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times, but I'm being lazy.

I've always used PCGS for grading, but I'm considering using PMG for these. I have 2 other Black Eagle sets graded by PCGS.

Any recommendations?

 

PM sent.

 

Those are some very pretty Black Eagles...

 

Another coin show pickup this weekend. Dealer friend of mine who used to live in New Orleans but migrated North after Katrina. Well, he found this one for me to go along with my other Katrina survivor.
== Katrina survivor, 1928 $10 FRN

 

A few nice $5 Legal Tender acquisitions from coin show this weekend.

Another coin show pickup this weekend:
== 1934 $5 FRN, Fr. 1956Fm (mule), backplate=1336

 

Just got these two

 

mikep, nice pickups!
And I certainly like the Star note.

 

Thank you. I would love to believe that $20 would grade a vf but I have a feeling a 'net' or 'apparent' could be included. I've been wanting one of them for awhile. There seems to have only been 792,000 of the $5's printed, which I thought was cool.


Although this one I posted awhile ago only had 512,000 printed.

 

New acquisition thanks to a good friend:
== Croatia replacement note, 500,000,000 Dinara
== SCWPM S16; MWR RT3 (2 digit serial number)

Have a soft spot for "territorial" stuff so couldn't pass on these: couple of merchant scrip notes from Indian Territory, today's Oklahoma:

This is another one of those notes that just caught my attention. Can't exactly put my finger on what it is I like about it, I just really like it

 

Skippy Topaz, your attention was caught by the beauty of the note itself. Skippy, examine your note for a watermark and you'll be able to determine rarity.
watermark "TEN" = rarity 3, 50-100 notes known
watermark "FIVE" = rarity 4, 25-50 notes known
watermark "T.C.C. & Co." = rarity 4, 25-50 notes known
watermark "J. GREEN & SONS" = rarity 6, 5-10 notes known (Series A and D)

Reference--The Obsolete Paper Money of Virginia, Volume 1, pg. 15; Charles J. Affleck author; published by the Virginia Numismatic Association 1968

Updated version of the book published in 1992 lists the note thus:
1. no green overprint ('X' and 'TEN') = rarity 7, 2-4 notes known
2. "TEN" = rarity 3
3. "FIVE" = rarity 4
4. "T.C.C. & Co." = rarity 1, 200 or more notes known
5. "J. GREEN & SONS" = rarity 4

Notice change in rarity of the "T.C.C. & Co.", it is of note to remember that discovery of a hoard or the loss of a collection can change rarity drastically. I would have to do some research but I believe quite a few of them were found. Same basically with "J. GREEN & SONS"
Sorry to be so long-winded. Hope this helps.

Oh, the note you acquired is VERY NICE and the condition is great.

 

Very cool, thanks for the reply It's obvious I may need to invest in an Obsolete Currency Guide soon... As far as the watermark, I can see the word "TEN" backwards on the reverse

 

Needed a District 7 note and just sort of "found" this one:

Here's a real surprise for me; $5 FRN 1934A L-A block, did not have one and this block is not real easy to find. This is NOT a mule note, backplate greater than 938.

Just picked up these two large size notes.

 

Needed a 10 for my District Numeral Set and this was "just there" in Heritage auction, so I pulled the trigger.

 

A very nice $10 LGS from recent Heritage auction:
