I will take the note at $100, thank you.  Quote:
What happened historically on March 9th 1849? Not much, apparently. However, on this date... Quote:
Carl Nikolai's opera "Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor" premiered. ...and this is special, because... Quote:
All of Nicolai's operas were originally written in Italian, the sole exception being his last and best known opera, The Merry Wives of Windsor (translated from the above), written in German. To give a bit more of a timeline... Quote:
On 11 May 1849, two months after the premiere of The Merry Wives of Windsor, and only two days after his appointment as Hofkapellmeister at the Berlin Staatsoper, he collapsed and died from a stroke. On the very same day of his death, he was elected a member of the Royal Prussian Academy of Arts. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

spruuuuu I saw that too while I was lookin at pages of a Mar 9 1849 New Orleans newspaper last night and it was interesting to read. People were headed to California for gold and supplies were being sold in classifieds. I think that a lot of Beaver felt tophats were for sale at the time and used clothing. Hats being let go by owners, and used clothes being bought for the trips. A lot of ships inventory becoming available and where was posted. There was a reward for a couple runaway slaves and a bit of a write-up for the inauguration of Zachary Taylor a few days beforehand. But this post is for the New York National Currency note so I better post something about that. I would guess that your note might be worth $130.00 or a little more by the looks of others at this time on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...cy+%24100.00 |

Cashing in happens all the time. I have an aunt in her 70's in poor health, my mother brought her coin/bill collection over for me to go over. Lots of $1 silver certs, Ikes, etc...I kept the silver and gave away/spent the Ikes and certs as I found no buyers over face value. When I was roll hunting, I came across hundreds of Ike dollars, I like to use 'em for tips, I gave a lot to a buddy for his over seas vacations, they love those coins. " A Couple Nice Bank Teller Finds" I've found a lot of nice bank tellers, I liked one so much that I married her! When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

So there, who says coin collecting is an idle pursuit?

Very nice! Best part is that they're always worth face. The banks around me never have anything good.

I'm keeping some of the nicer ones, gonna spend some of the ordinary ones. There is a nice lady at my work that I will sometimes give halves to for ones. I think her family uses them at poker games, so I may do the same with some of the Ikes. No rare varieties or anything in the stack (that I could see).

Do you ever try to spend the Ikes in stores? I bet a lot of cashiers don't know what they are.

I see a lot of 72's in there. I do believe there are different type reverses you might want to be familiar with?

I checked the 72s for the varieties. Unless I'm not seeing them right, I did not find any of the different reverse types.

Those older bills are very cool. And even though they are often not worth a huge premium now, that could change as more and more are cashed in and pulled from circulation.
