Peacesilver Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 10/15/2014 01:57 am I've been always fascinated with how beautiful educational notes are. Given that GEM are out of my budget, I was looking for bit less condition to put in my collection. Which one would be better ? 1) http://www.ebay.com/itm/FR-224-1896...em3a992544db What condition do you think this note is in ? Is this fair price ? 2) http://www.ebay.com/itm/FR-224-1896...em4188c2e584 What condition do you think this note is in ? Is this fair price ? Report this Post to the Staff

hajduk Pillar of the Community Germany 645 Posts	Posted 10/15/2014 10:11 am Hi Peacesilver, I think that the better way is, you wait. The first bill is to expensive for this bad condition. I'm sure that the second bill was washed and bleached. The 1896, $1 SC bills are not rare, you have a real chance for a better deal. I have many PMG or PCGS graduate bills. The people there look nothing what I could not see. I do not need them. You live in the USA, you can visit Paper Money Shows. Touch, feel and smell the bills, I think that is the best way to buy good old bills. Report this Post to the Staff
Peacesilver Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 10/15/2014 10:14 pm Thanks jimbucks & hajduk. Will have to see if next Long Beach show have reasonably priced $1 Educational notes. Last show, they had a lot of nice ones at pretty high prices... Report this Post to the Staff
brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 11:46 am I agree with buying at shows. I understand that it can be tough to find a nice lower grade example, but it is worth the wait over buying something in a rush and being unhappy later. I have been looking for a nice low grade 1918 FRBN $2 (Battleship) for a long while and I keep either finding ones out of my price range due to being a higher grade then I am after or them looking way worst then I want. I know one is out there for me though and when I find it the wait will be worth it. Report this Post to the Staff
