Today's Haul From The Annual Baystate Coin Show

Well, shut my mouth.

Sweet Acquisitions,

LOVE the Educational Three, The $5.00 is Awesome....




Thanks for Sharing , Many Here are Slab or Graded Currency Lovers, I Appreciate Raw........

Glad you like it! That was actually the one note I brought to the show hoping for an upgrade that I wasn't able to replace. No big surprise, really, since I bought it from the same dealer a few years back and it was the only one he has ever had for sale there.

I know this is an old thread but I have just started noticing older US currency. I find the variety simply amazing and I wish I could afford it. I spent 30 minutes in my LCS looking at the currency cases yesterday. My goals are very modest when it comes to what I want. I am a history buff and my favorite era is WWII so I am hoping to eventually get a set of the North Africa and Hawaii notes. I think that is 7 bills total. It won't stop me from looking though. These notes are incredible. If these are the upgrades I can only imagine what the complete collection looks like.

@barry.g That's an impressive collection you put together. For your paper money notes, what year did you start seriously collecting? Sometimes we dabble in it and then start to buy more expensive notes.

WOW!! I can't think of a better, more well organized and informational website. Some sites have excellent photos, some have great information and some are well organized but you have hit every aspect and hit them out of the park.

I do have one question for you regarding the U.S. gold coins. I am looking to complete that same type set and I have 10 so far. I noticed that you have the type 1,2,3 of the $1.00 coins but you do not have the "No Motto" or Type 1,2 of the eagles or double eagles. Is that because you do not consider them types or have you just not acquired them yet? I don't have any of them yet but they are on my want list. I'm just not how realistic it will be for me on my budget. I have all of the ones you have pictured except for the $1.00 type 2 and the $3.00. I'd love the older ones of course but first things first.

Anyway, awesome collection and excellent website. I think my favorites are the Indian Chief and the Bison although that Porthole Lincoln is pretty sweet.

Thats very true. Gotta have priorities and if I had a more pressing wants (like your notes) I could skip them.
They were not originally in my plans but once I got my first Gold coin I was hooked. I've been able to keep my other coin collecting on the more inexpensive side so I can splurge on those.
