Paper Money: New Acquisitions

Just liked the name, plus it fits right into my "small change" collection.

Historical note from Georgia Historical Society:
"10 cent scrip issued by the Walker Iron and Coal Company of Rising Fawn, Georgia dated January 1, 1883 and signed by l. S. Colyan, General Manager. Scrip is secured between two pieces of acrylic for display. The Walker Iron and Coal Company, a producer of pig-iron, was located in Dade County, Georgia and owned by Joseph E. Brown. Company scrip could either be issued as an advance on a miners salary or in rural areas where cash was scarce used instead, all company scrip could only be used or exchanged at the company store. Many coal companies in the south utilized convict labor after the Civil War."

Today's new pickup is this nice obsolete New Jersey $10 remainder from the State Bank of New Brunswick. A pleasing design with nice green overprint protector, and a colorful printed reverse as a bonus...

 

Let's follow up that last New Jersey obsolete with another on the same bank, this one a well worn $1 that I believe also shares a similar design in at least the $2 denomination as well. I just recall seeing this layout elsewhere at least with the same girl and dog engravings...

 

The girl engraving was used in a lot of notes, including the one below. I don't remember seeing the dog, though:

 

I checked, the $2 and $3 of the same series have the same dog and girl in slightly different layouts, I knew they had them on more notes on that series...

Enough about that new pickup, let us talk about this new pickup. This sharp New Jersey remainder is a $3 from The Sussex Bank. Sharp note with alot of great design features, big engraved center vignette, denom protector is fancy across the bottom too. I do love me some $3 notes (probably my favorite, I love $4's too but they are too rare, and the $2's a little too common, so the $3 fits in my Goldilocks zone...) so this example pleases me...

 

Picked up at a local coin show... 2 sequential 100 mark notes from the state of Bayern 1922.

Haven't picked up anything new lately but came across this one and just couldn't resist...

 

Skippy, yep it is difficult to resist; don't feel too bad unless you spent the grocery money. LOL
Very nice note, Very nice!!

 

I can eat next week but today ....Obsolete!!!!

 

Always had it in the back of my mind to get one since I first saw them and finally did this week...

 

Congrats on your new addition and great note!

 

Congrats my wife and I had our first son yesterday. I hoping that I can share this hobby with him one day like my dad was able to with me.

 

My first currency purchase ever. I really dig $2 bills, especially the FRNs with the red seal. Nothing to write home about, but I'm excited.
