Silver certificates all around at Larry's place, I love it  Seriously though Rick, if you are interested in joining a bid board*, come to Midwest Money on Hampton Ave(Hampton and Holly Hills). $5/year membership and it happens Monday evenings, about 6pm or so until the bell goes off at 7pm closing time. * If you are not familar with the concept of a bid board, it is basically an informal auction. Members can submit lots for sale(10% commission to the store) and the store supplies the rest. There are usually 75 or so lots per week, everything from $1 cheapies to $100-200 coins.Edited by biokemist6

When I was a teller at a bank this elderly lady came in and deposited a ton of silver certificates. I told her to take them to a coin shop and she'd get much more than just the face.
She said that she needed to make the deposit and it was fine.
I was a poor college student at the time (summer job), so I took all the 5's and singles. About $50 worth. The bank manager took the rest, which were obviously higher denominations.
Now I regret selling them to a coin shop that night for beer money. I don't remember exactly what I had, but some had blue on them and some had red.
They were pretty cool.

Crosslet 4 with stems. I believe it's the 4th of 4 versions listed in the RedBook. A very nice example of the type. |

MrRick, please don't apologize for posting pics. I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say that we like pics. It's interesting to see things that I don't have, or even have access to.

Not a bad set. The 1916 would probably run you about $90 or so in Fine. The 1916 S would be around $140 in VG and $250 in Fine. The 1921 would be $220 in VG and around $325 in F. And finally, the 1921 S would be $80 in VG and around $250 in fine. He definitely left the expensive ones for you to fill in haha

MrRick- well, despite my typos, you know what I mean. haha
SO do you think that you will actually try to complete the set despite how expensive it will be?

Slowly but surely. What category of condition do most of those pictured (if you can tell) fall under? Fair?

MrRick- well, no. "Fair" is more or less the same thing as About good, which is the bottom of the grading scale. Many of your earlier dates are Very Good- Fine. But Many of yours from the 1930s-40s are Fine- Extra Fine.

Yeah, sorry I couldn't get better pics in the album. Check out this close-up of this 1923S. In the head it seems like it's missing some of the metal in the face. It looks like a screw up when they made it, not damage after the fact. Have you seen that before? & if so, what causes it?  |
