Nice haul! Love those old notes! Hard to tell from the photo, but some of them look to be in pretty good condition. What series is that short snorter? Any currency holders sold by a reputable online coin supply dealer (such as Wizard Coin Supply) should be PVC-free. Oh, and  to CCF! |

The short snorter has to be a 35-A as the 34 $1 silver certificates had the funny back (1928) design.

To be 100% sure of PVC-free holders search for Mylar-d holders. I used to get them from Denly's of Boston.

Unfortunately I got rid of most of the 1934 FRNs !! I kept only some of the best ones for myself! Couldnt have that much money invested in them and they barely carry a small premium over fv. None were that great..

Thanks for posting the photos. I was just looking for any uncommon mule notes that you may have had. Looks like most of them are fairly common. Best one out the the bunch is the 1934 LGS (Light Green seal), and they are always desirable.

Random question here, but what is a short snorter?

It's a term for a note that's been signed by people traveling together on an airplane. I think the practice predates WWII but most of the ones I hear/read about these days are from the WWII era. Basically the name came from pilots not drinking a full shot/drink/snort knowing that alcohol adversely affects one's ability to pilot an aircraft. They would drink short snorts (mixed alcoholic beverages) and thus were called "short snorters". Or something like that. Wiki is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_snorter |

I dont know how to quote anyone using these forums.. it's different. Anyways I went through most of the 1934 FDR notes before getting rid of them, no stars, no interesting serial numbers either! Couldnt find a buyer at even $1 over FV!! Would these cases work? http://www.amazon.com/Museum-Curren...lar+currency The ones I accidentally bought have pvc and are really hard, cant even put these bills into them because they're so hard P.S. I like the ones that open on the long side Edited by Spartcom5

I dont know how to quote anyone using these forums.. Simply enclose the text you want to quote in: [ quote ]text here[ /quote ] (remove the spaces around "quote" and "/quote" though). jbuck explains this much better than I can but I can't quickly locate his explanation of it. Also, you'll want to put [ url ]websiteURL[ /url ] (again, minus the spaces) around any links you want to share. As for those sleeves... sure, I guess they look ok. They say "mylar" so that's good. Just remember that PVC isn't necessarily the culprit, it's plasticizers in PVC that makes PVC flexible that can cause damage in the long term as it leaches out of the plastic. Not shipped by Amazon so I'd be confident about the seller before buying. |
