Paper Money: New Acquisitions

Book value for VF is $75, so you did not do too bad.

I think you got a good deal for a note that sounds to be in VF condition.

Hey guys, wanted to display my oldest note to date. Looks to be in Fine cond. maybe VF. It's a lot cleaner in person and not a "rag". 1917 series dollar Legal note Speelman/White. Love the reverse, probably a top favorite design of mine.

 

lovely!

 

Well that's one of the notes I have on my actively seeking list this year... but I'm shooting for something graded and a bit higher at that. Very nice to see your note. I have the LT $2 Series 1917, in both a raw low grade and high graded example myself, so I want the $1 now too. Thanks for sharing your note. Since this is a New Acquisitions thread, does this mean you recently came to own this note?

 

Yes sir, just picked it up today. The dealer only had the raw, ungraded samples. He had a couple of these, this was the pick of the litter. I was aiming for something XF or AU, but he only had this. I have my 1914 $20 fed reserve note coming in the next day or so. I'm hooked on these large notes. Glad to inspire your desire to seek one of these legal tenders krispy.

 

I finally got a new note — It's getting increasingly difficult to find notes that I want. Anyway, I present a Series 1995 $1 FRN with a Complete Face-to-Back (F2B) Offset Error.



For the adventurous who want to example the back in detail, I have a 600 DPI, 3747 X 1591 Pixel, 2.5 MB image of the back.

 

Yea offsets are hot right now! Saw a couple fetch over $100 raw this weekend in maybe VF20-25. Hard to find high grade - high denomination under two bills!

Here is last week purchases showing up in the mail.
A pretty neat Radar/Repeater combo.

 

Here are some of mine that I got from a friend today.

 

It's like five dollar bills week for me?
A couple of consecutive 1995 $5 FRN G/7 UNC STAR
Nothing spectacular about the printage, but '95 was a great year for the fives.

 

Just to follow up since posting this link for the conversation topic on SN inking errors..., This $50 error note auction closed at $120 [$138 w/ BP]. I didn't try to guess where the price would go but this seems fair as I may have estimated a bit higher were I serious about the note.

 

Yea! New in today's mail are more error notes.

 

Clay, love the missing district seal note!

 

This thread reminded me of a question that I've had for awhile. Last year, my husband and I took out $500 from an ATM machine. The bills that came out were brand new and were in perfect sequence with each other. They were dated 2007 (even though it was 2011 at the time). Neither one of us collects paper money, so we just spent them, but my question is whether there was any collector value in newer, sequential $.

 

I know you like the error notes as much as I do. :smile

 

had a pretty good day today as far as collecting goes. got a handful of various old coins for about double face value, and i picked a few bills out of my teller drawer today, including a couple newer $1 stars, a series 1963 chicago district $1 star in amazing condition, and a series 1969 $10 san fran note.

 

There's no such thing as Series 2007. You're probably thinking of Series 2006 in which case they most likely aren't unless they are star notes, errors, fancy serial numbers, etc in which case you would need to examine them to find out.

 

Thank you! We always wondered.

 

I wonder how many people have spent new, sequential # bills at a coin show or auction.... :scratch:
