@coinfrog yes lol, a buffalo star note that somehow got mixed in a little group of US bills in Canada. it's at my LCS and likely being sent off to certification. i'll try getting some pics or scans if they let me next time I'm there.
Feel free to call me Will.

Thanks for the info coin frog! Going to try to get that book ordered today. I would also love to see your buffalo star, dollarman. Congrats on your finds!

Buffalo stars are notes that most collectors would not even imagine owning. They are worth 4 figures and up in any grade. Do keep us informed!

A few notes to fill in the dwindling gaps of my $1 FRN collection.

CK - Tell us again about the scope and and goal of your $1 FRN collection - if I knew, I have forgotten.

Quote: CK - Tell us again about the scope and and goal of your $1 FRN collection - if I knew, I have forgotten. Coinfrog, the current goal/scope of my $1 FRN collection is 1 CU example of each series, BEP location (where applicable) and a star of each of those. E.g., for 2013, that would be 4 notes (2013 DC, 2013 DC *, 2013 FW, 2013 FW *). For pre-FW notes, that would only be 2 per series, of course. If my math is correct that adds up to 72 notes. I'm not currently seeking graded notes, or the rarest districts/runs. Just a solid, good-looking, CU example. However I will happily upgrade any notes with better/more scarce examples I have the opportunity to purchase. Again, I say this is my current scope, which is likely to change in the future. At some point I may decide to go for a graded set of the above, but I must balance this potential with my other collections however, as well as other monetary commitments in my life.  For instance, I'm also collecting similarly for Silver Certs and USNs for $1 notes as well as FRN, USN, and Silver Certs for other denominations too. So many things to collect, so little money!

Wait - you have other monetary commitments?

My latest is from our southernmost city, Key West. These don't show up too often, and when they do, I'm usually the under bidder. Finally snagged one from the Heritage Long Beach auction. One of my new favorites in my Florida Nationals collection. Photo courtesy of Heritage. I will have a better photo/scan when I get it home.

I bought this for face value $2, on an ebay auction. It was shipped in a padded bubble wrap envelope with tracking.

First class tracking costs more than $2! Someone lost money.

Amazing! Steve - Splendid note, must be pretty scarce, haven't checked. Surprised it didn't get an EPQ designation!

I'm not buying many raw notes these days, mainly because I have too many that need grading and it's going to cost me a ton. But I couldn't pass up this nice $10 gold star - nice AU with two faint bends (not folds) and bright color.
