<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 412881, member: 2098"]Yeah, I think someone slipped something into the OPs drink, what has been done here is the equivalent of cleaning a coin or drilling a hole in it, all in one. Except these were not some common date Mercury Dimes, the $1s and $5s were very rare. Thats see here, a mint CU 1981 08080808 note with modern stamps and 2008 postal marks. I could <u>kind of</u> understand if this were done in 1988, that would have been more fitting and contemporary. Next we have some $2s, what ever floats your boat on those I suppose. Lastly we have some $5 1995 H-H notes, there were what, less than 9,000 of these printed? These nifty notes are now adorned with Mowgli, his bear friend, an old chair and a dragonfly just to name a few. To summarize, just like with putting a hole in a coin, I estimate that these notes have lost 75% of their value, if not more because their designs are covered up in places. I would have expected to see this kind of arts and crafts project bragged about on the <a href="http://www.wheresgeorge.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wheresgeorge.com" rel="nofollow">www.wheresgeorge.com</a> forums, what with someone boasting about getting a "hit" from a dismayed collector who found a "wheresgeorge" stamped nearly CU 1988 $5 with 7 six's in the serial number and all, but on here I was a little surprised. Well, anyways enjoy <u>your</u> newly reinvigorated notes, I'm sure that the future generations who <u>will</u>(or would have) eventually own them will applaud your hard efforts for this endeavor and will enjoy looking at Mowgli and his bear friend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
