barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 1:47 pm Just picked these up over lunch from my local coin dealer. These are my first pre-1900 notes, so I'm chuffed. For the same price I paid for the pair I could have picked up a $1 Education Note in the same condition from him, but I decided I wanted to wait until I could to get one in nice condition.

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 10/05/2012 07:33 am Too much, probably.... I paid $300 for the pair. [Edit: That was actually $200 for the 1886 and $100 for the 1899. The seller originally wanted $250 and $120 but agreed to take $300 for the pair.] Expanded Digital U.S. Type Set Album \| Dansco 8100 (Lincon Cents) Album \| Digital Proof Type Set \| Digital U.S. Currency Type Set \| Foreign Bullion Coins Edited by barryg 10/05/2012 11:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 10/06/2012 08:18 am Really? Cool. This particular dealer has ridiculously high prices for his coins, but I've found his prices on currency to be pretty reasonable. Report this Post to the Staff
