barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5923 Posts	Posted 02/21/2014 11:25 am I'm really jealous of that $5 Educational Note, WheatBack! I recently spent $900 just for the $2, so it's gonna be awhile before I can afford the $5 version...

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5923 Posts	Posted 02/21/2014 2:03 pm Quote: Why are they called Educational? From Wikipedia: Quote: The Educational Series series of notes is the informal nickname given by numismatists to a series of United States Silver Certificates produced by the United States Treasury in 1896, after Bureau of Engraving and Printing chief Claude M. Johnson ordered a new currency design. The notes depict various allegorical motifs and are considered by some numismatists to be the most beautiful monetary designs ever produced by the United States. The term "Educational" is derived from the title of the vignette on the $1 note, "History Instructing Youth". Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18132 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 12:19 am Lovely selection for 1896 everyone! I have an early start today so I am starting off 1895. I've avoided posting US coins in this topic so far, but I thought today I'd make an exception and post a pic of my 1895 half-eagle - one of my favorite US coins: My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 6:32 pm Aargh! I missed 1896 because I was doing something very serious for a change. Gwalior, 1/4 anna, 1896 This is a weird country. Don't tell anyone I'm late to post it. Straits Settlements, 5 cents. 1895 A coin from the melt-value bucket. Not a bad purchase.
