Here's one I posted 4 years ago when I first registered & joined CCF. I still have a few of these kicking about & will list some on ebay soon. Stay tuned:   and the front of the $2.00 with the first signature:  Anyone else care to share? Edited by walk2dwater

Here's the back Of a different $2.00:  And here's the $5.00:   The above note is AU+ with a light centre fold. I bought it about 45 years ago at a Sears Coin shop. I cannot remember how much I paid for it (only that it was my 2nd numismatic purchase & the most expensive note purchased for several years/but that I was glad I bought it). |

Beautiful notes in great condition Bill! Thanks for sharing  Quote:
That is some nice looking notes, congrats. -Thanks @mcshilling. They look nice in person too. Here's the Z/D signature change over with the Gordon-Towers signature combination. Only half a million (500,000) of these notes were released making them 13X more scarce than the more famous Osborne-Towers notes. However, the "Ozzie" notes are nearly twice as expensive in high grade (not low grade- in low grade- these are more expensive). It's very odd but translates in being a very undervalued rarity.  and here is the much more common Osborne first prefix (6,400,000):   This, once again, proves that the Book Value ( BV) & Fair Market Value ( FMV or what collectors will pay plus other factors) is NOT necessarily related just to how scarce a note is but rather more a function of the DEMAND for said note. World demand is very high for first prefixes & the lack of details/info in the SCWPM doesn't help. |

Here's a well circulated $20. Its an H/E signature change-over but on the wrong side of the count (better if it were Gordon-Towers):   |

When you say well circulated my mind envisions a note near tatters limp and soiled, this still seems like a very nice note looking at your photo's.
Cheers, Bill

You're right, it isn't that circulated. Its from my original collection when I first started, most of which were VF to EF, but decent eye appeal. Here's a Narrow Panel H/A $1.00 which I posted a few years back (a note from the pre-EPQ designation on the front, with the #, era):   [I spent 2-3 years looking for an UNC H/A with Q designation & was quite happy when this one came up for auction). Not nearly as tough as the J/A prefix but tough to get in higher grades (with the Q). |

I bought this several years ago at a show from a dealer, he didn't know what it was worth so I offered him $40 and he said okay.  |

Just received my shipment back from BCS
My 2nd J/A note was given a VF30 original grade.
Very happy with that!
I'll post a picture sometime soon.
