FRN District Sets by trading $1 notes

FrankM

I’ m looking for trading partners. Thought I would work on building district sets for starters. Just getting back into collecting currency, I used to collect block sets and I had a group of traders on a yahoo group called block traders many moons ago. I’ve managed to collect about 10 groups of sequential $1’s at the bank in the past few months from the 2017A series but only a few different districts. It’s pretty cost effective’ just the price of a stamp to exchange a few notes. I’m on the east coast in NC and Richmond is our most common district. Let me know if anyone has an interest.

I thought for sure that I could find other modern note collectors on the forum. I currently have 3 different $1 2017A districts and 2 different districts for the 2017A $2 and 2013 $2.

Anything older that 2017?

FrankM

Yes, a few here and there. I am slowly working on an inventory. What did you have in mind?

FrankM

I got lucky yesterday at the bank and picked up some new notes including a partial strap of 2017A EA block up for trade too.

I would have to check the safe deposit box. My father was an avid FRN $1 collector.

FrankM

I've picked up several more sequential CU notes in the past couple of weeks, both $1s and $2s. If anyone is interested in making a trade for series 2017A I can share an inventory list.

FrankM

I just picked up a strap of 2017A $2s LA block from the bank. I’m now up to 7 districts with some spare notes to trade if anyone has an interest.

So at this point in my goal to collect a CU district set which kind of morphed into a CU block set I have collected about 20 different blocks for the 2017A series $1 FRN. Not too bad out of about 40 blocks printed, but a long way to go. I also began collecting a CU 2017A $2 district set and now have 7 districts. I’m always trying to get extra notes for trades should I find some collectors to trade with but it looks like there are barely any others working on the current 2017A series. I am visiting family this summer in New England so I will be hitting the banks for new money and in the mean time I’ll still try locally but it’s been dry. Maybe my trade lists will generate some interest.

I got a mixed strap of CU $2s today. Not sure how that happens but first half of the strap is BAs and 2nd half of the strap is EAs. Just happens to be what I have gotten before so nothing new here. Also found out my favorite teller at the bank is leaving, too bad she always kept an eye out for me. Just a shout out for anyone collecting series 2017A either $1s or $2s looking to make a trade of a few notes.

FrankM

I’m still looking to make trades. I’m almost done with the 2017A $1 block set, still need about 6 more blocks to finish. I’m still working on the 2017A $2 district set. I’m looking for the $2 Philadelphia and Atlanta districts to finish. Next I guess I’ll start on a 2021 district set although I have yet to see this series in circulation. Anyone that wants to trade CU notes just shoot me a message.

FrankM

Update! The $2 2017A district set is completed. I am also almost done with the $2 2013 district set, still need the C,G and J districts. The difficult set is the 2017A block set. I only need 3 more blocks to complete the set. They are the FI, KC and LG. I haven't seen any of these blocks in CU condition and not even in circulated condition. I have extra notes so please reach out if you would like to make any trades.
