[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 601859, member: 2486"]Thanks Pennywise for the comments. While I agree with some of what you said, I would like to point out that there are many different varieties of PM as well. There are Legal Tenders with Red Seals, Silvers with Blue Seals, Fed Bank Notes with Brown Seals, Gold notes with Gold seals. Light Green, Dark Green and even Blue Green Seals. The PM has changed quite a bit and I am sad to say that the quality has not kept up with past issues! There are Mules, many error varieties, inverse denoms, improper cuts, you name it, its out there. There were printing varities, Web Notes, dry and wet ink all sorts of things. While coins do have a greater variety to be found and I agree with you there, I just feel that most people do not know enough about paper money to incite the collection interest! Yes, the older notes in higher grades do cost a lot of $$$ but so don't coins as well. Knowledge is power and Paper seems to be in it's infancy still...perhaps one day it will emerge as a collecting powerhouse. Thanks again for your remarks, I appreciate them very much. By the way...please post your PM for us to see, I for one would love to see your collection. Regards, RickieB[/QUOTE]
