Buffaloes And Indians

Droll humor Bobby & Rusty. I do like that very much.

(Or are you guys serious)?

Zeewool? We need more posts!

If we spoke Finnish, we could call them "saippuakivikauppias" notes. Although, I guess we would use the Finnish word for "notes", too, wouldn't we!

I love the Indian,buffalo and black eagle large notes. One day, I must add them to my collection. Unfortunately, they are rather expensive since I collect world note with solid serial number 555555.

Finding either note with solid 5s will be difficult enough, but prying them out of the hands of the owners will be virtually impossible unless you are willing to make the owners rich men.

These notes are no longer made, they are highly collectible, most of those printed no longer exist. They are not nearly as available as high denomination Indonesian notes (for instance) with solid numbers.

I would not wait too long to get one. Current economic conditions are favorable to the buyer in most commodities, I don't see why collectible currency would be any different.

Do not give up hope Emperor. Black eagles were printed for 24 years in 11 series, so there were many, many solid fives issued. Some were 5, some were 55, some 555 and so on up to eight digits. The number of solid 5s printed was nearly 1000.

The total number of black eagle printed was over 3.74 billion, but the problem is that only about 85,000 total notes exist today. I am sure that there are at least two or three solid 5s around. I think that ebay may be a place to keep looking. I have seen solid 7s in black eagles before, including 7 and 777.

The buffaloes and indians also exist I am sure in solid 5s, but would be even more difficult to locate as only about 12,000 of each type is estimated to exist today.

Yes, I totally agree with you numismo. Scenes depicting the American west are quite romantic.

The coinage too has lost much charm from Morgan to Ike dollars, Buffalo to Jefferson nickles, Standing Liberty to Washington quarters, and Indian head to Lincoln cents.

Let us be glad that we live today, rather than 100 years in the future, or we might be looking at those old Pelosi pennies and Obama dimes, and think to ourselves "Where did the good times go?"

One hundred years from now, it is not unimaginable to think that coins and currency will no longer be legal tender, but have been replaced by some sort of card or medical implant.
