[QUOTE="clembo, post: 298159, member: 8033"]Coinlover, You have some good points and apparently you have learned a lot. You just can't keep everything when it comes to currency. It DOES get expensive real fast. Now, you may or may not make money on your coins but you're using your head here. I've parted with notes to buy a good coin at the right price on several occasions myself. Once again though, knowing your subject is key. For starters I doubt the guy held on to a 1928 note for, let's say 50 years, to make $8. More likely happened upon it or paid someone $22 or so recently and made $6. If he pulled it in the 20s it would most likely be CU or darn near and worth a lot more. Plus, who knew back then that an 09SVDB would be at what it is today? You could find THOSE in circulation back then. No one has a crystal ball and we're not all billionaires with tons of disposable income. This is why we read and research. Educated currency collectors know what to keep without tying up more money than they can afford to. Like I said earlier. You're learning - keep learning.[/QUOTE]
