<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1358592, member: 19065&quot;]Thanks for the new thread Rick. :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my active list:</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><span style="color: #006400">• Small-size FRN District Currency set --&gt; St. Louis district (Symbols: 8 and H).

I&#039;m not particularly after mules and varieties, but welcome them when I find one for particular Series. DGS and LGS will be represented. Grades? There is no limit, the finest I can stretch my budget as notes become available. </p><p><br /></p><p><b> <span style="color: #006400">• A d<font size="2">enomination set of </font>small size gold certificates<font size="2">: $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes.</font></span> <font size="2"></font></b></p><p><b><font size="2"></font></b>I haven&#039;t acquired any notes yet.

I&#039;m not sure where I will go with these notes yet, but I&#039;d like to be the care taker of a few more of them. </p><p><span style="color: #006400"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #006400"><b> • Large Size Legal Tenders.</b> </span></p><p>I have a very special pair of $2 Series 1917 LTs. I am actively looking (and have been bidding, but loosing) on my next acquisition in this area, a $1 Series 1917 note (Fr 36-39). Just one will do. Must be graded, 53 to 63 is my estimated range, lower if it&#039;s a star and bright EPQ/PPQ paper. I can dream about adding the large size LT $5, $10 and so on... one of each denomination, but their prices, even in lower grades, start to get pretty scarey, real fast.</p><p><br /></p><p>Exercising restraint in the va$tne$$ of U.S. Paper Money is difficult to do, even if one&#039;s budget forces you to into fewer areas of collecting. As always I appreciate the help and suggestions you have given through this forum, Rick. I have learned to search for and seek premium quality notes, or at the very least the best I can afford so that I can enjoy my collection to the utmost. :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
