Condition of this piece doesn't even matter, it's a rare note and I've always wanted one. I'll settle for a tattered example. Report this Post to the Staff

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 2:37 pm Thanks, MV. I wish more people here were more into currency. It's a great way to break up coin collecting and a lot of fun collecting types. Report this Post to the Staff
CSOTUS Pillar of the Community 1153 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 4:47 pm I have a 1922 $10 gold certificate in similar condition. I would like to dabble in currency more, but the prices seem more expensive than coins, at least for what I want to collect. Report this Post to the Staff

I would like to dabble in currency more, but the prices seem more expensive than coins, at least for what I want to collect. Currency, in my opinion, is incredibly undervalued. For example, you might have 15 examples of a national note known and it might be worth in the hundreds, but if that many of a certain coin was known you'd be talking about prices in the thousands. I do agree that currency is a bit more pricier; I found that out once I got into it a bit more. I just find currency many times more fascinating than coins. A big silver coin surviving 150 years is awesome, but something about a piece of paper surviving that many years is many times more amazing and fascinating at the same time.

Dave L Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 11:00 pm That is indeed a cool note! It's odd how there are those straight edged, stepped, edges. Makes me wonder if there was some type of machinery that was involved with it's mutilation at one time. Anyway's congrat's on getting a great note... I agree, even in that condition, it's well worth having. Report this Post to the Staff
NickelCollector Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 03/03/2015 10:11 pm I find circulated notes from the 1800s better than uncirculated ones. It goes through my mind when looking at these: People from the 19th century touched this bill, and used it in transactions. It's absoleutly incredible. Report this Post to the Staff
