Paper Money: New Acquisitions

May be the brightest red seal I have ever seen. Awesome.

I was happily surprised when opening up the envelopes today. Would anyone happen to know why one could be larger than the other? Not just the paper, but the plates were a bit larger as well.

 

Paper shrinkage caused by the wet printing process used prior to the 1963 Series.

 

Are these North Africa notes from WW2?
Miscut on that one margin?

 

Yes....but I've seen worse. Probably within BEP tolerances

 

Series 2013 Atlanta District $1 star notes had two runs. Run #1 had 6,400,000 printed and are fairly easy to obtain. Run #2 are replacement sheets and the BEP only printed 250,000 total. Much, much harder to find and not distributed in packs of 100 star notes. These are usually found in pairs, included in packs of non-star notes.

 

Nice finds! I didn't know the second run was that short. I found 2 from the first run in fed straps so far

 

A couple of recent (very) circulated notes. I just set up a real cheap all in one scanner / printer and tested the scan function with these.

For $59.00 it works fine for me.

 

About to squeeze on one from Amazon because it's mobile ready but read no reviews on scanning. Which one did you pick up?
Nice finds btw.

 

HP Envy 5540

 

Here are a couple of East Indies picked up within the last couple of weeks.

Netherlands East Indies, 1933 - 1939.




Netherlands New Guinea, 1950.

I didn't know these even existed until a few weeks ago because I primarily focus on coins. There were no coins issued for this period designated as Netherlands New Guinea.

Today's pick ups.

 

I like the five and the funny back Ace...not too crazy about the Deuce

 

Super nice SC Ace @Endeavor. The one dollar Silvers are such a pretty note with the deep blue seal and serial numbers. These notes were being printed alongside the newer 1963 $1 FRN's with the Granahan/Dillon signatures.

 

Fantasy note

 

Thank you Steve. Always nice to get your input and info.

Super cool! Kinda reminds me of the red seal hundred (Series 1966 & 1966A). Would have been cool if they made these for circulation. Nice piece.

 

Some Indo-China notes that arrived this afternoon. I'm a sucker for elephants.

 

Always like surprises, "found" this $10 among some $5s; and then also noticed the oddity in the left margin of the face. Not a major issue but nice nonetheless.
