<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pirata72, post: 239607, member: 7307&quot;]Even though I&#039;m new to collecting paper money, I do know that buying torn money isn&#039;t exactly a good idea. However, on my last trip to the coin shop I saw that the owner had a $5 Silver Certificate - Series 1899 &quot;Indian Chief Note&quot;. Great, except for a tear about 85% of the way from top to bottom on the right-hand side. Even worse, it had been taped back together. I purchased it as part of a package deal with a Series 1929 Federal Reserve Bank Note $50 and a Series 1928-B Federal Reserve Note $20. In my area I haven&#039;t seen any Indian Chief Notes before. I know most people would just keep looking, but this &quot;wounded warrior&quot; caught my eye. I&#039;m sure I paid too much for it but the fact is I kinda like it the way it is. I look at it and wonder the places it has been to end up in the shape that it is in. I&#039;ll try to get some pics scanned in of the whole group I purchased. I&#039;m sure most people will not feel the same way I do about my &quot;wounded warrior&quot; and I don&#039;t plan to make it a habit to buy torn money. However, I think it is just fine the way it is. Does anyone else ever make these type of purchases?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
