Wheat...that is pretty cool. I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like that for sale before.

amrys - at the rate you're going, you must be at least thinking about the $5K and $10K notes, even in circulated condition. coinfrog: I'm afraid you overestimate my goals. I've started with just a LGS type set three years ago. Then I decided to try something "impossible" (so called by some dealers) and began to build a $1000 1934 LGS set back in 2014. I thought to buy first the most rare and expensive notes could be a task for several years. After I was able - with much luck and intensively searching - to get as near as possible to complete that set I started to build the lower denomination 1934 LGS sets. That was just three or four months ago. So it's no surprise that I can find and buy the many notes right now, but when I will be nearly complete (some sets are now already advanced, but the $500 notes will take surely a few years) this will come to an end... Then I can only hope to find a note to fill the remaining gaps from time to time. Maybe some sets will never be complete... Of course it would be a point to turn to other collection goals, but I'm afraid to try to collect the 5k and 10k notes, so great and nice they are, won't make sense. One aspect is I would always prefer a note in unc, because all other notes I have in my collection are CU or GEM. But another problem is that I won't have enough money for these ultra high denoms. And even I would have: There are only a few nice notes offered at all, especially in unc they are too expensive. Finally: Even if I was a millionaire a district set won't be possible, because some districts aren't available (for example: There is no Cleveland 5k and 10k note!). But as I said: These notes are out of my range, I could only dream of them, but I'm happy with the "normal" LGS notes I already have.  |

No, such distinctions appear on different denominations from different series, and their "tells" vary considerably. Thanks Coinfrog. I've can't seem to find the Standard Guide to Small-Size Notes on Wizard, but I found it on Amazon. Will be placing an order soon. |

amrys - I was just joshing. We all love your unique collection and can only imagine the effort it has taken.  |

Wheat - nice. Not many around, and all seem to be well worn.

Just picked this up for my $50 FRBN district set. Getting there - only one to go (the tough one, Dallas). Great S/N, but these don't mean much on a note like this.  Edited by Coinfrog
