I try to use CDN green sheet as a start point
1935 Hawaii CU 60 bid $95 ask $105.

These are dealer to dealer prices. Most cases a dealer will sell
to the public a percentage over CDN.

So $110 is right there at a fair price.

Also ... Good to know a dealer might pay $60 to $70 for the note.
If your in a position to make a offer, $90 to $95 would be a good start

Thanks guys. This looks like a pretty decent note. I was debating whether or not to dive right in to CU/AU notes or go for lesser-grade cheaper ones to start off with, but I have the feeling that eventually I'll upgrade anyway, so why not spend the money now?

And... I have to get over the mental hurdle of paying over $100 for $1.

Ok, I have my fist HAWAII note in hand. Overall I'm pretty pleased.

There was one condition issue that wasn't obvious from the seller's photos (but seller *DID* mention in the listing) and that is it's rippled somewhat. Seller's description was "natural paper waves".

Below are the photos I took tonight (close-up, with flash). You can make out the rippling a bit:

Compare to seller's photos:

So was $110 (including shipping) a good deal on this?

For the sake of comparison, here is what I have put together for $1 notes:

$1 Note Collection

My original goal was to collect all major varieties from 1900-2000, but I did eventually add a few earlier examples along the way. I believe now have achieved my original goal with regard to major varieties, although there are plenty of minor variations I could add if I so chose.

Ok, I'm beginning to realize that this $1 small note set is going to be an obsession for a while I have started to put together a checklist and it's wonderfully huge. ~60 distinct notes from 1928-present. Being the moron I am, I will have to include a star note for each as well, doubling the challenge.

Fortunately most of the FRNs are easy and inexpensive in CU. The silver certs are going to be a bit of a challenge and the USN is going to require some conniving!

This is a FUN set to research and put together, ladies and gentlemen. I highly recommend it... learn a lot, spend a little.

I have some $1 notes in transit... pictures forthcoming when they arrive...it will be time to give GR58 a run for his money at some point (yeah right - a guy can dream...)

I've also decided to concurrently work on a small $2 USN/FRN collection, since most of those guys are relatively cheap in CU and the list is relatively short compared to the $1 checklist.

If you can't tell, I'm really having a good time with this. I think my next step is to grab another 7001 and some more 3-pocket pages. Also some more currency holders to hold the AU/CU bills that don't make it into the folder or are cycled out.
