In some ways I felt bad for the seller Been there. More than once I have actually felt guilty when paying for a note, but what goes around comes around. I have sold some things that I lost money on as well. I did exactly what they did... I stuck it in a protected package put postage and insurance on it and sent it on its way. |

zeewool,
I realize that it's worth nothing but $ 10., but I collect notes by year and type, at this time I have a complete Small Size year set of $ 10. FRN's from the first year, 1928, to 2006. The only reason I bought it was because I did not have a 2003. I don't doubt that most any post 1995 FRN isn't worth much of anything other than face value, but it fills the hole in the album and it's looks nicer in the album than setting in the bank account.

OH NO, I make an effort to try an never make that kind of mistake, you mean zee is a, I mean, damn, ok I apologize for making such a dumb mistake, I should have caught on when I said that wheezy and zee are very smart men and zee came back with, "That may be true of wheezy....but I am far from it ( I assure you )". I gotta start using the word PEOPLE.

Don't give it a second thought Bill, it really shouldn't matter to anyone here anyway.

Trying to determine which notes to grade can be somewhat confusing - but if you are looking at this from an investment perspective, IMO, this is my preference:
(1) United States Demand notes of 1864
(2) Any Legal Tender "First Issue" notes.
(3) Compound Interest Notes.
(4) One-Year Interest Bearing Notes (rarest of all issues of American currency).
(5) National Bank Notes of the First Charter Period.
These are pricey, but sometimes you can come across these. Best suggstion I would offer is to get very familiar with paper currency and do some serious research. Who knows-you may have a blessing and inadvertenly come across one at a great price. Good Luck.

Interesting preferences Numiseye..... I like them all too, (but really) the Demand Notes that you refer to are a one year issue, and that year was 1861 (not 1864).... also, the one-year Interest Bearing Notes that you refer to are not anywhere near the rarest of all issues of American currency....they would not even rate in the top ten.....If you have questions about large size notes, feel free to ask, I might have answers.

So what was the aftermath Bill? Is it now in the album or still in the holder?

It's in the album zee. As far as I'm concerned it's only worth $ 10.00, I have $ 15.00 into it but I don't mind as it completes my small size $ 10.00 FRN collection and was worth the $ 5.00 just so I could complete the collection.

People do things like that Bill because usually, they do not know what they are doing there is other reasons people send in stuff like that. The TPG's sometimes run a special and you can get them graded free. Another reason would be to get the cheaper grading fee's they sometimes have a minimum amount of items you can send in on one submission slip so if they need one more note they just grab one and it could be one out of the wallet or pocket and send it in with the others so they can save on grading fee's |

Excellent.... good for you Bill.... (I realize that your name probably isn't Bill), so if you would prefer that I call you something else, like Ricky-Bobby (for instance), just lemme know.

Bill is fine, it's a lot better than some of the names I've been called.

The bill looks to be centered which is very important in grading. Also the currency looks to be very crisp with no folds also important in grading. To determine why only a CU63 need to view it under a loop.
