Wheat - Congrats, don't see many of those. Personally, I have never cared for this design, along with the Martha and the Stanton. The tombstone device seems like such a contrivance. But it must feel great to own one, especially with the ornate back.  Edited by Coinfrog

Picked up these today, sort of on a whim...   I may have started collecting $2 notes... I was more of a coin guy, but I just think these are "nifty". |

Picked this one up early this year. I don't know much on paper currency and still a novice on coins, but this had no folds, tears, stains, or pinholes. There are a couple of the silk threads that go off the bill. Is that common ? Is it worth getting graded ? Thanks, AG   |

Nicely-centered example of the second-to-last issued large size note, printed in 1927/1928. Looks to be at least AU (retail around $100) or possibly even CU (retail $175+}.
These are comparatively common; decide for yourself whether you want to spend the grading fee.

Thanks coinfrog. This is one of two bills in this condition that are the best I have. Only 2 to get graded may not be worth it. Auction = $110. AG

Probably right. This note is likely a high AU even though it shows no folds. Is the other note the same signature combination? Yes, the threads were a standard counterfeiting device on large size notes of the period which disappeared with the issuance of small size notes.

The other bill in this condition is a 1929 national currency 100. I am lacking the $5 dollar. They are super pricy. AG

Sorry, There is one partial stamp on the reverse, but beautiful to me.   |

AG - This is the most common of the 12-district Federal Reserve Bank Notes first issued in 1929 (Chicago). Assuming it is in high AU condition, the retail value is probably only around $175+ given the reverse stamp. All of the districts are usually available in most grades (excluding the stars), and so given their high face value, they are not widely collected.

Just do a "Save Search" on ebay for "1929 $100 Federal Reserve Bank Notes" and you should find other districts available on a regular basis. These are not expensive relative to face value. Edited by Coinfrog
