What a great assortment of Nationals....especially love that Bank of Italy San Francisco $50. My very first large size National from my hometown. I was very new to collecting and a little disappointed when I was told the signatures were stamped, not hand signed.  |

Steve...Your very first Tampa note looks better than a 15 in my opinion.
Nice notes everyone!

Steve - I think Connor is talking about the note in the F-15 holder, your lead note in this thread.

To be honest, I think PMG is all over the map at all grade levels, and I could put you to sleep with crossover stories and all sorts of nonsense, especially on lower-to-mid grade notes where the holder does not really mask the grade. PCGS is even worse. As I've said, it's just a crapshoot when you submit, and I basically just prefer PMG because they will not grade a note 65 unless it merits a PQ paper rating, thankfully.

I don't normally grade small-size readily available Nationals, but Greg over at Superior gave me a special deal on a ten note submission so I had several Nationals graded. This Colorado small town is where one of my younger brother and his family lives. He has been out there for almost 20 years, so I guess he likes the high plains life.   A lovely Otero County Type-2 note with original paper and nice embossing. |

Awesome eye appeal on Mr.Frogs 1902 $5 Fall River Red Seal. Would love to own this type one day. I apologize in advance for posting a note NOT in my collection. Imagine owning a serial #1 $5 1882 Brown Back on your hometown. This is my dream note.   This I do own;  This is the Heritage description Smillie Die Proof - Florida State Seal. Another Smillie die proof printed on India paper and mounted on die-sunk card stock. The seal features a shoreline on which a Seminole woman is spreading hibiscus flowers. Florida's state tree, the Sabal palm, is growing. In the background, a steamboat sails before a sun breaking the horizon, with rays of sunlight extending into the sky. The seal is encircled with the words "Florida," and "In God we Trust." This seal is seen on 1882 Brown Back national bank notes from the state. Edited by SteveInTampa

Stever - Boy that #1 note is a killer. I never owned one until recently, but must admit that even a small size #1 note from a gigantic bank has a special appeal. You guys have seen this before, still haven't sent it to PMG -  |
