In the past few weeks I've purchased 4 pieces of currency that are not tied to each other to form a coherent collection in any fashion.

1: 1963 series red seal US note that the dealer has apparently graded as VF. Serial number: A60613247A

2: 1963 series red seal US note that the dealer has apparently graded as F. I is a star note with the final numerals following the star is 0272219A

3: series 1929 $10 national currency note issued by the Federal bank of Cleveland Ohio and bears the notation that the currency is "secured by U.S. bonds with the treasurer of the USA". Serial # D01528905A.

4: 3 Consecutively 1935a numbered $1 Silver certificates starting the S/N# W39259633c.

After talking to the LCS owner, I began to wonder if I would be better off trying to put together a coherent collection, or just collecting what I can afford and then the question is what?

While talking to the owner, we came on the subject of early currency whose s/n #'s began with a number (1-13(?)) I don't know when these notes were issued and in what denomination, and if it is at all feasible to but a set of say 5's together.

On the other hand I'm also thinking of putting together a collection of 1 each of 1929 series starting with the example that I have.

From our conversation, I do feel that there are a whole host bills that would make an interesting collection.

But again - is a collection of notes that I like or a somewhat unified collection better. Right now I just learning so any comments would be appreciated.

Collect what interests you. Read about large size, small size, Nationals, silver certificates, Federal Reserve Notes, gold certificates, etc. There are jillions of ways to format a collection.

Do not spend serious money till you know which direction you want to go.

I just collect what I like. I'm also, albeit slowly, completing series sets too -- i.e. Series 1928, 1928A, 1928B and so on. Sometimes I look for the more uncommon and unique pieces that make people stop and look.

Perhaps for someone who seems to like somewhat random purchases, maybe a type set of small size notes would interest you. Just get one example of each currency type for each denomination.

For example:
$1: United States Note, Silver Certificate, Hawaii note, North Africa note, Federal Reserve Note
$2: United States Note, Federal Reserve Note
$5: United States Note, Silver Certificate, North Africa Note, Federal Reserve Note, Hawaii Note, National Bank Note, Federal Reserve Bank Note
and so on.
