A Few Additional Pickups

looks great!

barryg....that hawaii is a special note...needs to be well kept....Like the other two also!....You gotta love a $1 frb note....What is crazy though,is how it looks like two differrent notes in the picture...?.....Very Nice

I think it's just the way it was folded. I suspect it was folded only once and only in one direction (as opposed to back and forth), so the fold only shows up when viewing the reverse.

That makes us 2!

I like the Boston bill myself. The flying eagle.

I know what you're referring to, Ceylon62, but the folds actually are visible on the obverse as well. Due to the way it was folded, though, the folds are not as obvious on the front and the scanner just didn't pick them up very well.

Those are some pretty nice notes. What condition is the Hawaii note in? If it is AU+ that looks like a pretty good deal!

On the Gold certificate I think I would have passed on that note. Does it have a tear on the bottom? I think you might have over paid for that one.

All right, I decided to go back and pick up the $10 Hawaii Note the dealer had for $100:




$100 was probably a bit too much for it in that condition, but hopefully not too much. I've got a $20 Hawaii Note on its way to me in the mail, and that only leaves the $5 Hawaii Note that I need to find to complete my set of WWII Emergency Currency Notes.

While I was there, I also picked up a Series 1899 $2 Silver Certificate for $100:




The condition is a bit on the rough side, but still decent enough for my needs. I now own both the $1 and the $2 in this series. All I need now is the $5 (the so-called "Indian Chief" note, but that might be out of my price range for awhile, even in lower grades.
