<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 140483, member: 1910&quot;]My favorite is actually a note.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was visiting my paternal grandmother several years ago.&nbsp; She pulled out a framed note (the note was in a noteholder, which was itself taped to a cardboard background in a frame) to show me.&nbsp; It was a National Currency note from a bank in North Dakota of which her father (my great-grandfather) had been the President.&nbsp; As a result, one of the signatures on the note was his.&nbsp; I was very excited about that.&nbsp; Thought it was quite cool.&nbsp; She said, &quot;it&#039;s yours.&quot;&nbsp; My jaw, of course, hit the floor.&nbsp; Taking it through airport security on the way home, I wouldn&#039;t let them X-ray it.&nbsp; Made them inspect it by hand.&nbsp; Annoyed them no end.&nbsp; On the heirloom value alone, I would never sell this note, even if I was destitute or I owed the bank a boatload of money.&nbsp; Which is a bigger deal than it might sound at first hearing.&nbsp; According to what I&#039;ve been told by various currency dealers at various shows, it&#039;s a rather rare note.&nbsp; Easily the most valuable item in my collection (probably by a factor of 2.5 or so).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
