One Dollar Series Of 1928

WOW,
That's bad, but if you don't have one it's better than nothing. I don't think most adult collectors would want to put something that bad in their collection.

When I find notes like that I usually give them to a kid thinking that maybe it will get them started in currency collecting.

Value ?, well it can still be spent as a dollar, and being it's different than what we have today, that may be worth another dollar.

If you enlarge those photos you can really see how bad it is. It may have been unusual to "find" it but I still think it would be more useful as a gift to some kid just starting out.

The lowest pricing on the site you linked to is only
$ 10.00, and that's for one in Fine, it looks like that note is way below fine, maybe it's in good but like I've always said, it's just about impossible to grade a note from a photo on a computer. It still looks bad to me and if I had it I would gift it to some young collector just starting out.

Like I said in my first post:
"That's bad, but if you don't have one it's better than nothing".

And I still believe it's better than not having one but,
not much better, kids love them because most have never seen one, and just to see the look on a kids face when you hand it to them is worth the 2 or 3 dollars that it may be worth.

I've seen dealers that wont even buy notes in that condition because there so hard to sell unless there rare, and that one is not even close to being rare. It's a nice note, to give to some deserving young kid that has never seen one

I'm not a rich guy, but I am serious about my currency collecting, and I'm proud of it. So instead of me wasting money buying things in bad or poor condition I save up an try to buy notes in at least clean VF or better condition.

Some of the notes I still need for my collection are very pricey in VF or better condition but I wont lower my standards. I'm still saving my penny's and sooner of later I'll buy a nice note that I'm proud of and will fit nicely in the collection.

Nickelman,
I believe your correct, the more post I read here about "What grade is this and how much is it worth" it's sounding like a bunch of young school kids that are only interested in the "what's it worth". When I first joined this forum it seemed that it was more about coin and currency collecting but now it seems to be getting overrun with the "what's it worth" thing or grade this for me thing.

I must have said it a hundred times, no one can really grade a note by a photo on their computer screen, they would only be guessing, and as far as pricing there are so many "guides" on the Internet it's unbelievable. John1 has many, many, times linked those "kid" questions to a price guide site.

It seems that the only interest some of these kids have in currency is "how much can I get for it" they are finding newer wrinkled up currency in change or at a bank and think that they can cash it in for more than it's worth.

For most currency Collectors that's not what currency collecting is all about. To bad the moderators cant put some kind of rules in place to limit this type of "look what I found, what's it worth" type postings.

It's obvious that these post are not about currency collecting or building a collection. Hope no one takes my comments as bashing or snobbish as I don't mean it that way but it seems that these type of questions are getting out of hand.

I realize that I'm only a guest here, but it's starting to get annoying and frustrating

Maybe the moderators could give us a kiddie section or a beginners section on the CCF forum, I know a few other forums that have a section like that.

I'm going to try an take some time off from these type of post and only comment on the post that are really about currency collecting.

There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site that repeatable answer the same questions over and over. As you read through the post it is your option to skip the ones that you are so knowledgeable about. Or not interested in.
These people are doing their best and it is the best.

BC,
I had suggested a LONG while back to the mods / admins a Sticky TOPIC be created with GENERIC links....

At that time I was told not many posts on the currency side

Ergo, post away continues...

It's very unfortunate some of the knowledgeable folks DO NOT post anymore....


Edit Below

Here is the suggestion (see link) I had made (9/26/2010) a while back and the ANSWER was e-mailed back to me by one of the Mods.

nikola, there is a wealth of INFO on this forum. Read and read again (which is what I DO).

Sorry James4444,
And others that feel the way he does.
I guess you didn't read this part of my post:

"It's obvious that these post are not about currency collecting or building a collection. Hope no one takes my comments as bashing or snobbish as I don't mean it that way but it seems that these type of questions are getting out of hand"

Sorry you did not like what I wrote, but that's the way I see it.

Please read again what Ceylon62 said, he's been here a long time and has seen how things have been changing.

He also said:
"It's very unfortunate some of the knowledgeable folks DO NOT post anymore"

James4444, Ever wonder why ?.

Also please read what Nickelman had to say he's also been here a long time.

When I said:
"When I first joined this forum it seemed that it was more about coin and currency collecting but now it seems to be getting overrun with the "what's it worth" thing or grade this for me thing"

James4444,
This is what he said:
"Most of the serious collectors that belonged to this forum when I joined have moved on, some by their choice, some not. You can see that change by exactly what you just said.
I belong to other forums that have serious collectors and I can tell you there is a WORLD of difference between those forums and here"

Again James4444, wonder why ?.

This is one of the first forums I joined, I like it, so much in fact that I was thinking of becoming a CCF supporter, and now that I have done the over 250 post thing I was thinking of passing on my duplicate notes to the members here before I put them anywhere else.

But the way things have been going I don't think there are many that would be interested because there not all wrinkled up and of low grade. Only kidding, but I hope you get my point.

And of course I also notice that the more knowledgeable members like zeewool and many other knowledgeable collectors don't post or try and help here any longer, again wonder why ?.

Like I said, I was going to give this some time off but your post about me and my truthful "sarcastic" post pushed me to write this reply.

Sorry you did not like what I had to say but again that's the way I see things going. This can be a very helpful forum and hopefully the Mods can help in some way so that the knowledgeable collectors will start posting again.
Regards
Bill Collector
