4033ryan Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 11/04/2015 02:19 am I have always wanted to purchase a 1907 $5 Woodchopper and I finally pulled the trigger. Definitely one of my favorite bills. Contemplated getting a lower grade in the past but I am happy I waited for this one! What're some of your "dream" paper currency purchases? (Note: of course my scanner broke after taking the front scan of this bill ) Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 11/04/2015 05:09 am I just got one of those too ^^ yours is probably slightly better than mine but I was happy to have a clean one, no tears, no pinholes and just a couple of slight fold lines. I agree it is a super type. There are two types that answer your question... the first is a note that though expensive is a possibility to obtain one day. This is the $10 bison note. The second is a note that although I admire I definitely will never own, it is simple too much money to have tied up to one piece... it is the $1000 eagle note of 1918. Report this Post to the Staff

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5839 Posts	Posted 11/04/2015 08:52 am Super nice looking note! I'm always torn between wanting to complete my "type" collection of U.S. notes and wanting to wait until I can afford some really nice examples instead of settling for rags. Every year I go to a big coin show that includes some dealers who specialize in currency and recently I have been making one or two large purchases per year, which either means a semi-rare note in really nice condition or a very rare note in passable condition. I'm still hoping to someday pick up a Series 1923 $10 "Pokerchip" Legal Tender Note, a Series 1914 $20 Federal Reserve Note (Red Seal) and perhaps even a Series 1905 $20 "Technicolor" Gold Certificate, but I suspect those will remain outside my budget for the foreseeable future. Here are some of the notes I have been able to cross off my "dream" list in recent years, each one costing somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000: --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- The only one of these that I'm not 100% satisfied with is the $5 "Educational" note, but I just wasn't willing to pay a couple of thousand dollars for a nicer example. Maybe someday after I've finished all my other collecting goals I'll see if I can trade up to a nicer example.

WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 11/04/2015 10:05 pm A couple of completed goals pictured below. I'm still looking for a 1923 $10 "Pokerchip" note, 1891 $20 "Manning" silver certificate, and a 1905 $20 Technicolor gold certificate. A very rough example, but I got one. Got this for $50 over face. Goal completed cheap! AND finally this one. Very hard note to get, but since I don't have several thousand at my disposal, this one will suffice.

kenny_1745 Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 11/05/2015 02:24 am The optimist in me would love to own a $100,000 gold certificate but the realist would settle for a $5 Indian Chief note Report this Post to the Staff
davec13 Pillar of the Community United States 757 Posts	Posted 11/05/2015 06:58 am Nice tombstone wheatback. I've been looking for a nice one recently, and every person I ask usually just kind of laughs and says good luck. It's hard to believe how tough some of these older notes in any grade can be to find. I've passed on a couple of lower grade Technicolor notes, just for the simple fact that with all the color in the note you really need a nice example to see the real beauty of the note. I have never even seen a pokerchip being offered for sale locally, but definitely on my want list. Coinfrog yes it is the hoard picture again. The guy I bought those from actually called me last night and said he needs to get some cash for a project and he pulled out more notes and coins for me to come and take a look at. The coins are big dollar, 1892 PROOF Columbian expo half for example, So I can only imagine what notes he may pull out. Report this Post to the Staff

torpedo Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 11/05/2015 10:40 pm those educational notes are awesome, it would be cool if modern currency would use some of those classical style scenes. Report this Post to the Staff
