Quote: I would rather save up extra cash and buy one note of real interest and appreciation potential than save a bunch of old notes that will unlikely ever be worth more than face.
Case in point. Five years ago, I bought this nice raw 1923 horseblanket from a major
ebay dealer as Gem 65, original paper, from an original pack for $87. It is certainly all of this - the paper wave is clear through the holder. I could sell it on
ebay today (raw with full return) for no less than $130. Is this not a better use of your old notes than saving them?
I assume this is directed at me for what I posted.
Unlike what you have shown I do not go after crisp uncirculated bills. I am perfectly happy with circulated bills as long as they do not look like they are going to fall apart if I hold them. Are there bills I have on my list I want in better condition certainly there are. But for most of my bills I can have a circulated example and be okay with it. The way I see it is that ugly bills need love too.
And since I do not see either small headed bills or older 1s and 2s but a few times a year I can afford to save them all.
