There is nothing wrong in funding collecting etc from selling what you find. I do that and 1000's of others do it.

What I "think" Billcollector is trying to convey is that NOT many are "TRUE" collectors of currency and are into it for the wrong reasons.

Edit below
I collect fancy sn's, short run stars, errors and $2's. In most cases I "have" to go and pay a premium and buy it for my collection mostly from trading with others or even selling something that does NOT fit my collection anymore.

That's about what I was trying to say, there's nothing wrong with doing what Ceylon62 and a lot of others do, including myself, but some seem to think, and I've said this more than once, it's all about the currency you fold and put in your pocket and that's not what I think currency collecting is all about.

Ceylon62,
Did you receive my want list of the modern small size notes I'm looking for.

"I collect U.S. cents and nickels as well as Canadian cents and am always looking for Canadian Silver Maples for my mother's collection"

Sorry unholyroller cant help, all I collect is US Paper Money and any silver I have goes towards the buying of it.

I call these a "savings" account note. It would take more effort than it's worth to get a decent premium.

Put it back until one of two things happen:

1) Someone offers a premium.

2) You run across a great deal, like a silver dollar for 20 bucks, and lucky you, you just happen to have $20 cash that you'd otherwise have frittered away.

You wouldn't save a 1963 A series $20 note near CU grade that you got for face value? I would definitely save it. I wish I was that lucky. That is quite old for getting one at a bank in that condition. That is really amazing!
Rest in Peace

not everyone can afford to just squirrel back all sorts of money
I realize that, which is why my suggestion.

If all you have have handy is a $20 you really don't want to spend, maybe you'll hold off on a borderline purchase. Then you'll have that $20 later, either for a necessary buy, or a coin/paper purchase you'll make quick money on.
Rest in Peace

I wouldn't, because I see stuff like that all the time when we buy collections. I'm not saying you shouldn't, but I'd rather wait for a CU.

I just checked where a similar AU sold for $24.39 del on ebay (which means the seller lost money).

Meanwhile, I can buy silver for $20, sell it for $25, and I have $25 instead of $20 tied up I don't want to spend, and couldn't get $25 for if I wanted to sell.
