OK, here it is. I liked it because of the strong sigs and the low charter number (29) - I think this is today's Citibank, not sure. It's in a CGA holder, but believe me, you can see the paper wave and punch-through embossing clearly. I'm sure it's not a scarce note, but for type, it is perfect for me.  |

Remarkable national! That's got to be a Top-Pop. I'm becoming more interested in these by the minute  I'd love to collect notes from my hometown. Unfortunately, another collector in my area has hoarded up almost every one that has ever come up for sale. Woe is me... |

I'm angling for this next: (I was reading about this in Schwartz/Lindquist and learned that this note was not printed until 1933, and then not released until 1948-1949 - in Puerto Rico of all places. This was to avoid the sorting problems in banks on the mainland that this odd single-issue note would have created. Thought that was interesting.)  Edited by Coinfrog

Great note. Uncirculated 1928 $1 legal tender notes with high serials are more commonly seen and their prices are a bit inflated when compared to their actual rarity. Any $1 legal tender in serial number ranges A00005001A to A00009999A are scarce to rare in ALL grades. Notes lower than A00005000A are commonly seen in uncirculated condition due to being hoarded, but circulated notes in this serial range are not seen too often. The exception are notes in the A00002000A to A00003000A range -- these are very rare. Just a little bit of extra info.  |

Started my currency collection today! I bought 2 silver certificates from the Pawn shop for, gasp, $6 each Good start! I'd try a LCS if possible or hit some shows for your next purchase. $6 each is high for these notes in this conditiong. I'm not trying to beat you up; I'm just looking out for you!  |

WheatBack - that's great input, thanks! The high price these fetch no doubt reflects their status as a one-year type note, much like it's big brother, the large size 1923 red seal USN. The two look just great side-by-side! Edited by Coinfrog

Great error, wheatback! It's very interesting how you can still see the serial numbers and the signature, since the printing mechanism embossed them into the paper through the obstruction! |

@childofthewheat, nice start. Good that both of them are from different years and series.
I may be unloading some of my spare silver certs, red seals, and other small bills soon. If I do, want me to give you a heads up? I'll undercut the pawn shop price, promise!
