GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 03/27/2015 2:24 pm I try to use CDN green sheet as a start point 1935 Hawaii CU 60 bid $95 ask $105. These are dealer to dealer prices. Most cases a dealer will sell to the public a percentage over CDN. So $110 is right there at a fair price. Also ... Good to know a dealer might pay $60 to $70 for the note. If your in a position to make a offer, $90 to $95 would be a good start Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 03/27/2015 4:12 pm Thanks guys. This looks like a pretty decent note. I was debating whether or not to dive right in to CU/AU notes or go for lesser-grade cheaper ones to start off with, but I have the feeling that eventually I'll upgrade anyway, so why not spend the money now? And... I have to get over the mental hurdle of paying over $100 for $1. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 11:54 pm Ok, I have my fist HAWAII note in hand. Overall I'm pretty pleased. There was one condition issue that wasn't obvious from the seller's photos (but seller DID mention in the listing) and that is it's rippled somewhat. Seller's description was "natural paper waves". Below are the photos I took tonight (close-up, with flash). You can make out the rippling a bit: Compare to seller's photos: So was $110 (including shipping) a good deal on this?

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5862 Posts	Posted 04/05/2015 06:34 am For the sake of comparison, here is what I have put together for $1 notes: $1 Note Collection My original goal was to collect all major varieties from 1900-2000, but I did eventually add a few earlier examples along the way. I believe now have achieved my original goal with regard to major varieties, although there are plenty of minor variations I could add if I so chose.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 05/10/2015 02:40 am Ok, I'm beginning to realize that this $1 small note set is going to be an obsession for a while I have started to put together a checklist and it's wonderfully huge. ~60 distinct notes from 1928-present. Being the moron I am, I will have to include a star note for each as well, doubling the challenge. Fortunately most of the FRNs are easy and inexpensive in CU. The silver certs are going to be a bit of a challenge and the USN is going to require some conniving! This is a FUN set to research and put together, ladies and gentlemen. I highly recommend it... learn a lot, spend a little. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 03:45 am I have some $1 notes in transit... pictures forthcoming when they arrive...it will be time to give GR58 a run for his money at some point (yeah right - a guy can dream...) I've also decided to concurrently work on a small $2 USN/FRN collection, since most of those guys are relatively cheap in CU and the list is relatively short compared to the $1 checklist. If you can't tell, I'm really having a good time with this. I think my next step is to grab another 7001 and some more 3-pocket pages. Also some more currency holders to hold the AU/CU bills that don't make it into the folder or are cycled out. Report this Post to the Staff
