GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/23/2012 8:52 pm A couple months ago I started a project to give me a break from chasing coins. I decided to put together a set of small one dollar notes, from 1928 to date. For me I decided my collection would be based on just series/signature. With a few exception, I would include a Hawaii and North Africa note and the experimental 1935 A notes. I know there are other varieties and different district banks, but I do not want to get into every possible note. For the album I purchased two Dansco albums and combined them so that I would have enough pages. Once it is complete it will have at least 1 - U. S. Note red seal 1928 24 - Silver certificate 24 - Federal Reserve Note There will be more because in some slots I have more than one bill. Some slots have Stars and some consecutive serial number notes. I have 8 more bills coming in from ebay this week, so I think I will have 7 more to complete every slot. One of my better notes Harder to find note that I need to up grade Barr note my favorite FRN's I call these Barr stars Report this Post to the Staff

kenscott Pillar of the Community United States 787 Posts	Posted 06/23/2012 9:03 pm Interesting thing to do. I have had a few silver certificates in my life, and I understand some are quite valuable. Did you know that at one time the US had to deliver a dollars worth of physical silver for a silver certificate? Imagine if they had to do that today. Report this Post to the Staff
Dave L Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 06/23/2012 10:29 pm That's great! I did a type set of my own but I did mine was from 1900 to present. However my set doesn't have all the series/dates and stars, just the design types. I really enjoy my set and am glad I did it. Keep us posted on your progress - it will be nice to see it completed.

COMET Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 06/24/2012 01:42 am Nice looking set. Does the pages offer good protection for the bills? I'm always wary of soft currency holders. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm always wary of soft currency holders That is a good question, Dansco does say they are safe. I bought the first album about 18 months ago and have had bills in it with no ill effects. Quote: Awesome set but were did you get the dansco currency and what do you mean about combine? You can take pages out and put them in another one? I want one~! The Dansco currency albums and additional pages are getting harder to find. One site says they are out of stock because " I was told there is an issue getting the right quality vinyl used to make these pages." But yes you can add pages when I combined the two albums I have 18 three pocket pages and one (one pocket) page that I use to put my printed index page (from spredsheet) Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 06/24/2012 1:24 pm A lot of your notes have interesting "cuts" and off-center issues. Like the silver certificate underneath the United States Note has a "T" in the top-left corner and a bar in the top center. Are those cutting guides? Or...? That United States Note: if it's scarse I would leave it as it is in the collection so that its value doesn't get blended in with the rest and it's obvious that it was harder to come by. Great presentation, by the way. I need to get a currency album like that. Report this Post to the Staff

Good question, maybe some of the experts will post a answer I have noticed some of my notes are off center. I am not sure if the marks you mention are alignment marks for the printing or cutting .. or neither Report this Post to the Staff
COMET Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 06/25/2012 01:00 am A lot of the early notes are off centered since the printing technology was not advanced. And I think (don't quote me on this) that many notes were printed on a large block with cutting guides. Very much like stamps, there are letters to indicate which position the bills are from. Of course these were not supposed to be on the bill itself but they may have been cut by hand. Which leads to miscut and off centered bills. Report this Post to the Staff

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 06/26/2012 3:33 pm Great idea for a collection and it is very nice! Please keep us posted. So how did you come up with the 24 each for the SC and FR notes? I'm looking for ideas on how to collect a currency set myself. Especially something that won't break my bank account. I put mine in currency pages and store them in a loose leaf binder. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm looking for ideas on how to collect a currency set myself. Especially something that won't break my bank account I am pretty sure I started my list from a list another member posted here on CCF. Then I bought a book Guide to small U.S. currency and modified my list. My list basically is one of each series. for example 1928 1928A 1928B I did include four additional 1935A notes Two 1935A experimental notes (red R and Red S notes) also a Hawaii and North Africa note. To make this set more basic, a person could drop these four notes above. Or even drop the 1928 red seal and just make it Silver certificates and Federal Reserve notes. Once I get my E bay notes in this week, I will need 6 more notes. Of course those 6 notes will be the the ones I feel will cost me the most. Here is the list I am working on Series Type Seal Signature 1928 USN Red Woods/Woodin 1928 SC Blue Tate/Mellon 1928A SC Blue Woods/Mellon 1928B SC Blue Woods/Mills 1928C SC Blue Woods/Woodin 1928D SC Blue Julian/Woodin 1928E SC Blue Julian/Morgenthau 1934 SC Blue Julian/Morgenthau 1935 SC Blue Julian/Morgenthau 1935A SC Blue Julian/Morgenthau 1935A SC Blue/Red Letter "R" Julian/Morgenthau 1935A SC Blue/Red Letter "S" Julian/Morgenthau 1935A SC Yellow/N.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/09/2012 08:21 am I did change this album. There will be 20 Silver certificates and 24 Federal Reserve notes. The new changes makes this album much easier to put together. Now I only need four more notes to complete it. I moved the red seal one and the Hawaii and North Africa notes to my second album Report this Post to the Staff
