<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 1631147, member: 38692&quot;]Funkee - I can see that note going for anywhere from $125-$160, New York is pretty common but it&#039;s a nice VF example, seems to have nice centering and solid paper tone. Even if you split the difference, that&#039;s till a tidy gain. Heck, selling it in here for $135 is like selling it for $150 on theBay...</p><p><br /></p><p>Ephyfe - That is a Greek 1000 Drachma note from 1939, and you&#039;re right it&#039;s a beauty! The best part is it&#039;s supremely affordable, you should have no problem picking up a prime uncirculated example for $15. I love the Acropolis in the background on the high cliff, just an all around winner of a note. </p><p><br /></p><p>I mentioned I&#039;d be posting a monstrous Egyptian note and I am not going to disappoint, this 20 Egyptian Pound note is HUGE, as wide as a large US issue and another half inch again as tall, it&#039;s also got one of my favorite reverse designs, with just a ton of detail on the hieroglyphs, a spectacular image of an Egyptian chariot archer, and a great image of Isis. The front has the Muhammad Ali mosque. I really like this modern egyptian note, it along with the Five EP note I posted recently, I think are by far the best post 60&#039;s designed notes. Too bad Egypt is in terminal decline, there is some great historical heritage to be found there, if we can keep them from tearing it all down as that country falls apart. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Egypt/20EPf_zps554d2497.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Egypt/20EPb_zpsc17acb1e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
