Paper Money: New Acquisitions

New purchase this evening.... A question for everyone here...
Guess the grade on this particular note...... These are the sellers photos...
Personally, I think it's under-graded and incorrectly identified. This is actually a mule but wasn't stated on the holder... Perhaps it's just me that feels it's not graded correctly...

I'll reveal the actual grade Sunday evening...

It’s a VF25 in a washed-out photo. Some overpaid for this one…

 

Here's the first (and only) silver certificate I have, and a star note too! but not in the best shape:



(Sorry for the bad pics)

 

Having recently acquired a note with a Block number rather than a serial number I now have one with a serial number problem!

 

Nice note.
Nice problem to have

 

So, this note arrived and while I don't think it was "under-graded" it's seems a nice mule VF25 fr236 .
This sold on heritage back in 2005 as a very fine. I've attached their images versus what the seller posted for the auction...

 

New pickup this week...

 

New addition today...
Not horrible shape but a large star note non the less...

 

I just added these 4 modern pieces. I'm particularly fond of the Thailand note for some reason.

 

Beautiful examples

 

I just thought the engraving was great, and I love notes that show coins on them.

 

New purchase... my first and only hometown national... have only seen 2 of these a type 1 and type 2 $10... this was the nicer of the two..

 

-Very impressive set of notes featured on your Thai page. I love the background info too. Those early year-long series & the 1942-1945 (5th) series with the dodgy printing production (remainders) must be very tough & scarce. I will have to bookmark this for future reference. Thanks for sharing @clayirving !

 

Here's a pair of recent purchases courtesy of a local show, the first of these being a 1914 Red Seal $10 FRN from Dallas. Interestingly enough, PMG erroneously attributed my example as a Fr. 902a instead of a Fr. 902b, which is slightly rarer overall, with an estimated 20 pieces enumerated in the Track & Price census.

On the other hand, my second purchase was a 1977 $1 FRN bearing the dual courtesy autographs of Azie Taylor Morton and G. William Miller. They respectively served as Treasurer and Secretary of the Treasury during the Carter Administration.

New obsoletes this week...
South Carolina $10 notes 1861 and 1873 plus die proof of the central vignette..

 

I jumped on this one because it is a very difficult note to find in any kind of collectible condition, much less in certified in a problem free holder. There were two series that followed this one, in 1934 and 1938, and the next monetary reform wasn’t until 1947. That probably explains it’s rarity.

 

Several more obsolete notes.. I love the central vignette's on these notes...

 

Bradley besides the autographs that note looks as if there is a reverse ink transfer on the obverse from touching the inking bed? Or is it the photo and the light is shining through as there is similar on the reverse as well?
Both very nice notes.
