Very nice indeed, thanks for sharing

 

One more for the binder

 

Found on the Bay; serial number is higher than reported observed in 10th edition of Small-Size Paper Money page 111; I think I keep it

=== backplate 1681

 

Nice find @techwriter

 

Hands down, my favorite thread on this forum. Some really nice, interesting eye candy from everyone. Great job.

These arrived today from a fellow member over at Coin Community Forum. He got a pack of interesting serials on non-star $5's with four leading zeros, and this pair was also in the pack. These are sheet replacement star notes and they usually show up in pairs in packs of non-star notes. GEM centering and pack fresh from a short run of 320,000

 

@SteveInTampa i agree. I do the CRH but find strap searching, and this thread, to be the best. Sweet Lincolns btw. You seem to target the bills that will be what people are asking for down the road. Nice/smart work! I've been sticking to fed straps of singles but am tempted to move into higher denominations to see what I find in those straps. HH!

 

Got this at the local coin shop today for 2 bucks. I got home and realized it was a radar.

 

Morocco, 1943

Saw this one about a week ago. I wasn't looking for one but really liked it. In hand within the last 30 minutes...

 

Nice detail on the front especially like the ship coming in to port

 

I don't really collect $2 notes, but this one was a star red seal for a decent price so I got it.

 

I really like the backs of these older $2 LT's....Monticello

 

Funny that you mention that cause until recently I had no idea the reverse was this view of Monticello. Someone posted it on Instagram and I was perplexed. I always thought the reverse of all $2 small-size notes were the Signing of Declaration of Independence.

The Monticello reverse is now my favorite part of any $2 note design, lol.

 

New acquisition for my Large Size Nationals radar collection (now have 3 of them)

I like the note very much. I have prob asked this before, but what is the number in the upper right? B412928E

 

Upper right is the treasury serial number and was numbered/incremented across all banks for a given denomination sheet format. The lower left is the bank serial number and was numbered only within a given bank (and denomination format). So this is from the 62,826th sheet of $10s issued to the bank. The use of treasury serials on nationals ceased after August 22, 1925 and the bank serial number appeared in both positions.
