I have quite a lot of CGA material, some of which I have posted here in the past. I will try to show some of my favorites (plus new additions) on a regular basis if there is interest. Here is a $2 '28-F star with bright cherry embossing. This would have been printed just after the war, between mid-1946 and mid-1949.  Edited by Coinfrog

Sorry, Broken-Coin, what do you mean by "Boarders Trimmed" here? They had trimmed as small amount as possible from the edge/edges to have the Top & Bottom Margins equal + same for the left Margin equal to the Right Margin.. You would be surprised what a 1/16" difference makes. Edited by Broken-Coin

Thanks for clarification. No, I would not be surprised!

I bought this last year and it is a favorite among CGA notes. Boy, how I wish we still had notes like this today (though I'm sure it would end up looking something like the Franklin, virtually a cartoon character).  |

Hi all - Not sure this thread has legs, but if there is interest, I will continue to show some of my better CGA notes. Here is an early generation Battleship which I can find no fault with on either side - bright embossing and perfect registry.   |

Awesome notes Mr.Frog. These two say Panama Run, which may or may not have any importance. Maybe just a marketing tool...  |

A bit of research yields little of value - a bunch of these notes were sent to Panama for general use and those not needed were returned. Apparently PCGS also uses this sidebar description. The S/Ns are very low, which looks like good pickings for specialty S/N collectors.

I like the notation on the holder mentioning it's the 65th note of the block.  |

tech - That's a beauty! Steve - Admire your far-flung interests!  The Hawaii note designation is something I have not seen before. |

Here is a first-generation note (star) with bright color and paper wave visible through the thin early holder.  |
