snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 7:54 pm A little while back I picked up a collection on ebay. Included were several notes. Since I know nothing about banknotes, I figured that I would double check with the pros to make sure I don't have anything significant here. 1) The first I think is Russian: 2) A German note with only half the date? 3) I believe this is Finnish. It is beat up and has no date: Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 05:05 am #1: Russia, Civil War period, White Russian faction. Issued by the High COmmand of the Armed Forces, South Russia, issued in Rostov. "South Russia" is the strip of Russia wedged in between Ukraine and Kazakstan. It's listed in the Pick "specialized" volume, PS# 413. Listed at $5 in Unc back in 1995. #2: The banknote is dated 1919; I think the "19" that's legible is the last 19. Pick #66, $2.50 in Unc in my 1986 edition. #3: Yes, it's Finnish, and there is a series date on it: "1939", in the border on the back, directly below the shield (the fold makes it hard to read). The notes were produced until 1948. Pick# 69, $10 in Unc in 1986. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
