<p>[QUOTE="SteveInTampa, post: 1255994, member: 27107"]Are we talking about circulation finds, or currency collecting ? Finding a particular district in circulation can have it's challenges, but if you're buying/purchasing notes, then it's been my experience to find all the districts fairly plentiful. To me, the fine line is condition first, and then date. We all see lots of VG, Fine, VF, XF, and even AU notes in circulation, but who is going to hang on to a 1999 San Francisco $1 Star note in fine or very fine condition when book value is only $5 in CH-CU, and in reality, you can buy the note in CH-CU for 2 or 3 bucks ? Collect and keep the nicest examples you can afford. Set goals and "want" lists, buy guides, subscribe to currency magazines, go to shows & auctions, develop relationships with dealers and other collectors, learn to grade and educate yourself by reading books and information on the internet. The smarter and better informed collector has a huge edge, and ultimately has more fun collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
