Bought A Small Note Collection

I think you probably did okay, but keep your day job.

The two SCs look to be in the VF range, but the large 1923 issue appears discolored at the top. The '28A small note is a Funny Back but common, and this example has a tight left margin, which holds it back. Together, these two would probably not make $60 on our local bid board.

It comes down to the Fractionals, not my field - hopefully another member can comment.

I agree with @Coinfrog, you did OK.

Most of the notes would be considered fairly common problem notes.....meaning, that if you have the note in hand and describe it to someone you might say "The note shows even circulation, BUT it has some staining and hard folds, or it has a small tear, or it's poorly centered."

Kinda reminds me of my mom when she would get home after going to garage sales. I'd say, Mom this is broken and she would say, but I got it really cheap.

On a positive note, you can probably recoup your investment if you decide to sell them.

Yea pretty much figured I paid about half the retail value of these notes and went into the purchase knowing such. I do have a pretty good understanding of how to buy/sell just about anything. Was looking for some accurate grades from people who specifically collect these types of notes, not generalized statements about collecting.
