Black Eagle Question

Thanks, that's close to what I was thinking too.

*edit* Well after 2 offers, a counter-offer, and a counter-counter-offer I just purchased my 3rd large sized note.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful....Far much nicer condition than anything I own.

Collecting notes in this condition is always a smart idea, and is how most folks should and would if they could.

I definitely think that you are on the right track David. Uncirculated notes are in a class of their own and always will be.

Or you could spend almost twice as much and end up with something like this. (Not too pretty, but only four known to exist of this variety).

Often it is a hard choice between condition and rarity. I usually go with rarity because I figure that I can always get a nice note later, and I should get the rare note now, because the rare ones are drying up fast.

Most folks do as you do though, and go for the nice ones, knowing that they will only appreciate in value over time. Rare notes are more of a gamble, they may stagnate or they may skyrocket, it is hard to tell.

Zee, the notes you have are in an elite class by themselves regardless of condition and collected by some savvy folks. Personally, I cannot venture into that arena as it is beyond my means. Yes those notes will be volatile as all it would take is for a large collection to hit the market all at once.
