<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1445935, member: 37925&quot;]I chatted up some bank tellers that were into collecting coins and didn&#039;t know much about paper money. I came in to make a withdrawal to buy a $10 gold cert, and then returned to show them my most recent acquisition:</p><p><br /></p><p>A $1907 $10 Gold Cert in EF40 (my grade):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]178840.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>See <a href="http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/twidgetfitch/Money/9aa597c4.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/twidgetfitch/Money/9aa597c4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu286/twidgetfitch/Money/9aa597c4.jpg</a> for high res shot. </p><p><br /></p><p>I paid $525 for this bad boy, and I grade it an EF40 because the colors a bit faded. Did I get taken? In retrospect I thought $525 was high for a 1907 Teehee/Burke, but I did buy it in a dealer store and got the price down from $645.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the most amazing part was that another collector came in to the bank before I did to make a withdrawal and he asked if they had and unique old bills. They gave him a 1928 legal tender note in &quot;good&quot; condition (their words). I assumed that would be a VF+ to EF grade. This is the bill the lucky fella got... for $1!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]178839.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t believe them, and whipped out my guide book. I made sure it wasn&#039;t a Hawaii note, or a large size 1923. They pointed it&nbsp; out as the bill that they gave the gentleman. I let them know it&#039;s worth&nbsp; and they were shocked. I felt like crap that I didn&#039;t come in earlier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
