Continuing with the Gold Certificate theme. The $10 GC. I wish they had done the backs in Orange Gold like the Large Size. Nice example!  |

Jbuck, I gave the coin shop one more chance as they have all the notes I need, but after today I'm done. Guy gave me a price and when I get there it's $30 more than what he gave me. He said he priced it wrong (I thought the price was low, but since he quoted it, I would expect him to honor it, well nope). This one was I felt a fair price so I picked up this one. But I just don't feel loved as a customer. I don't think we are a good fit for each other. Time to look for a new place. Any one have a $5 Hawaii note at a good price  |

Building a relationship with a dealer takes time, and if you are a small player, you shouldn't expect many discounts or "gimmes" until you start spending real money, consistently, over a period of time. Mis-quotes happen, but stay focused on the opportunities and not perceived personality conflicts, especially if you are unwilling to buy raw notes online.  |

@coinfrog, actually a majority of my raw notes are purchased online. I have 4 dealers that I purchase from locally. 3 I have no qualms about giving them my business. I have spent lots of money at each, but the last dealer I just don't get a warm and fuzzy, he has every note I want and it's painful to shop at his dealer. In the end I would rather give my money to people that appreciate it. Ask Allen's Coin Ship in Ohio, they have no problem taking my money and I have no problem giving it to them. There are a few things Allen's doesn't have and this has been the issue. So the few missing notes I want will just have to wait.

Any plans for 1928 star notes? If you are staying at the 20 and lower demons they are available without a lot of effort. The gold cert stars will be somewhat more money but attainable.

I never cared for serial numbers or star notes or even varieties on coins or "fancy" serial numbers (which star notes are to me). Just not something that I have an interest in getting. A lot of people do, but I don't understand the fascination. Next I'm looking to get the missing fractionals and a few other large notes that are in my price range. |

I have been reading this wonderful post. I have been collecting off, and on the past ten years. I collect Morgans, and Peace dollars. I always drift over to the paper currency at my local coin shop. I am always tempted to buy, but it's not within my shopping budget the time. But I would like to dip my toe into currency stream. I have a $150 a month budget to start, but where would a man start. I like the large printed currency, but maybe the smaller notes are the better way to go? |

Before you start get one of the books I purchased. I recommend this one: A Guide Book of United States... https://www.amazon.com/dp/079484635...mob_ap_shareI can't tell you what to get you have to decide, there are many notes in your price range. The large notes there are only a few for $150 and under. My budget is $240 a month. I also sell some prints that I do as a side hobby and use that money also. The most expensive note I purchased was $140 and that was ordered today. Most small notes you can get from $75 and cheaper. Good luck and start a thread so we can live vicariously through your purchases! |
