Woodford Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 3:14 pm hajduk, after seeing jersey, you might end up wishing you never left Germany in the first place. Beautiful nationals though, I love the reverse greenback of those $20s nationals much more than the front. Report this Post to the Staff
bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 3:15 pm BisonMatt, those could be fighting words for the two people who run this site "Mom & Dad of CCF" Maybe a couple of days off for you! LOL Hajduk, nice historical notes all the way from Germany! Report this Post to the Staff
kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 3:37 pm Where did you find your Dover $20? I've been looking for one like that for a while. Congrats on the pickups! Report this Post to the Staff
hajduk Pillar of the Community Germany 645 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 3:53 pm These Bills I bought in Switzerland on an Internet auction. They were not very expensive, about $50. :-) I knew that these Notes are quite special and have contacted several dealers in the US to learn more about it. A dealer offered $ 800. After that, I was even happier and knew that I will not sell. Then I wanted more Nationals. So far I've only been in Miami and from Florida I still have no National Bill. :-( But like all collectors, I'm on the hunt. There are not many Nationals in Europe. I buy the most of them in the United States. This is not always easy. Some do not want to export to Europe and the German customs works for the Ministry of Finance. Sometimes I have to pay + 19% tax. But they give me pleasure ..... ( Sorry for my bad English! ) Report this Post to the Staff
bumma Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 04/03/2013 08:55 am There's nothing wrong with your english. You're doing just fine. Thanks for sharing your Nationals. They are beautiful notes! Report this Post to the Staff
nationals Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 04/03/2013 09:52 am Those are awesome. The grade is better than average and the banks are far from easy to find. Report this Post to the Staff

Woodford Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 11:08 am Hajduk, you must have one heck of a nationals collection if you are posting all of these different notes all day long. I don't mind it one bit as I could look at them all day long. Have any NY nationals? Report this Post to the Staff
hajduk Pillar of the Community Germany 645 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 11:43 am Hi Woodford, No, I do not have many but I'm glad to show my "children" for the people which are interested in it. For sure, there are people here in Europe which like my american Bills. But if I show my Bills in this Community, that is like back to the roots. When I pick a new beautiful American there is no one who shares my joy or really able to appreciate the bills. I have no New York Charter Note. The reason is New York is not always but mostly very common. So I am waiting for a really good XF-UNC Large Size Bill for a good price. OK, I have naturally this one; Perhaps the most common charter note. Edited by hajduk 04/04/2013 11:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
BisonMatt Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 2:54 pm Well played, you got me I do have a big mouth and occasionally I also stick my foot in Report this Post to the Staff
nationals Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 5:22 pm It is hard to believe that "common" national bank notes are still available at will for under $100. What a great hobby. Report this Post to the Staff
hajduk Pillar of the Community Germany 645 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 7:01 pm Usually there is no chance to buy large size nationals in mid condition for less than $100. Not in Europe and even less in the US. I think so. The best prices could I find in Europe but there is only a small selection. I also think that $ 200+ for a common large Size $5 3. Charter Note in VF conditon is completely OK. These are old bills, what means common there? The charter Bills are always in small editions. Sometimes more, sometimes less. The US bills can be extremely expensive. But if you observe the market and you do not buy anything you have a good chance that the value will rise. Do not buy anything, wait, watch and take. Collecting is like hunting, stalking slowly and strike with good opportunity. But the Nationals, that is so crazy. I always think, a small State, States with little industry,not so much charter banks, Towns which have not so much population, that is always special. Sometimes that is true, sometimes not. I'm not a profi for the Nationals, I buy by feel. The Nationals are my favorites. When I come next time in the US I go for hunt nationals. Sorry, only the Bills! I want a Bill from the First National Bank of Hamburg Pennsylvania Charter 9028 because The First National Bank of Hamburg Iowa Charta 2364 is for sure to expensive. One day I get one.. Again sorry for my very, very special english. Edited by hajduk 04/04/2013 7:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
