Paper Money: New Acquisitions

Appreciate the sentiment @Michael K; I certainly have a weakness for 1914 Red Seal FRNs.

With regard to the courtesy autographed 1977 $1 FRN, I believe what you're describing is a result of scanning my notes as opposed to more traditional means of photography.

I just got this today from a monthly club ... 2 Honduran lempira (L) (< 9¢ USD).

Marco Aurelio Soto (13 November 1846 – 25 February 1908) was President of Honduras from 27 August 1876 until 19 October 1883. He was known as a liberal. He was a reforming President and had a great impact on the Honduras of his time, including the establishment of the Biblioteca Nacional de Honduras in 1880, Marco Aurelio Soto was an important Mining business man.

Amapala is a municipality in the Honduran department of Valle.
It is formed by El Tigre Island and its satellite islets and rocks in the Gulf of Fonseca. It has an area of 75.2 km2 (29.0 sq mi) and a population of 2,482 as of the census of 2001 (of which 4 people were living on Isla Comandante). Thanks to a natural deep channel, and despite lacking modern infrastructure, Amapala long served as the main Honduran port in the Pacific Ocean.

Thanks lettow

 

This one came in from a small auction deal we bought.....Knew it was good, but actually a little rarer than we realized!

 

New pickup today... love the centr al vignette

 

A new national.. I've been trying to find something with an unusual bank name and this one popped up recently.. Not a rare or scarce bank I don't believe.. Add to that, the bank president was Milton Tootle Jr. who signed the note...

 

How low will you go?

Here's a rather ratty National from Welch, West Virginia, that I picked up from the PCGS forums quite recently for $15. Save for the apparent condition faults; this is one of the highest Charter Nos. I've seen for a type 1 National, in addition to being the only Type 1 I've seen on this particular charter (census notwithstanding).

A new pickup of Fr#18 1869 $1 "Rainbow" note.

Of note, though it says "Treasury Note" under the bust of Washington, this was technically a Legal Tender issue (United States Note). The updated type issued in 1874 was marked as a United States Note with some other design changes.

 

Beautiful condition for its age

 

-I agree. I love rainbows & that Treasury note is a stunner!

I felt pretty happy to acquire this $2 from the British Honduras (now Belize):

 

The Two has a inverted back.

 

I love the Educational Series!

 

A couple of my Thai error notes. First one is a double signature on the left side over the King's picture. The other mismatched serial number.
