<p>[QUOTE="MEC2, post: 1651969, member: 38692"]Okay, let's stay with Greece but go the other direction, from the largest note I own to the smallest - this is a 50 Lepta Greek Fractional note from 1920. This is an upgrade for me, I had a decent F but this came in slabbed and graded CU at a price not hugely different than the old note, so those are the kind of upgrades I like. Note the ragged top and bottom edges, I believe these notes might have been available in strips and then hand torn. Don't have a really good resource to back that up but it is my suspicion... oh and I love the blue, blue ink is what originally got me buying Confederate notes - and I ended up with over 40 varieties. Haven't gotten a new Confederate in a LONG time, only one new variety in the last year. That's why I never post any... sad face! I am on the lookout though...</p><p><br /></p><p>Will change things up tomorrow with a new obsolete pickup...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Greek%20Notes/50LepF_zpse9fe57b0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Greek%20Notes/50LepB_zps7b109ad8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
