My only apprehension on the grade is compared to “all other VF20s” for this note I can’t find any on the reverse that aren’t either visibly covered in creases all over or severely faded (or both). I personally like it as a 25+.

It has significantly better eye appeal than the typical vf20 i see for sale. At first glance on my phone I thought it was a higher grade until i zoomed in and could see what look like folds and some wrinkling on the paper.
Regardless, I'd take a lower graded note with nice color and eye appeal over a higher graded note that's got less eye appeal any day of the week. I like it.
The technical grade from the front resembles VF 20. However the back side color is superior to most all VF 20s I've seen. I guessed VF 25 due to the back looking so good. The folds are flattened but they are not super harsh like you sometimes see on VF 20 notes.

It's a really nice collection. I see a 15c Columbia and 3c Washington tucked in there too. Fractional currency sometimes gets overlooked on these boards.

The $20 is an error for missing the serial on the top right??
Not only the missing upper right serial number, but also the center note having the seal and remaining serial number at an angle. If you look at the first and second notes you’ll also notice that there is missing ink on the black district B seal of New York, but is all there on the 3rd note.> @Steve_in_Tampa said:
Yep. I'm a native Texan, so when I first started dabbling in notes several years ago I started playing around with them, and then once I had a nice $500 i figured I might as well work on a full set.

VF20 it is.

Fitting notes and adjusting around in my corner display cabinet.

The display cabinet needs an upper level. I’ll try and create a way to add a secondary level so you can see all the notes at once.
A few interesting small size notes.
Great post @jfriedm56 .
Agree the eight 5’s in a row is wild!! Very cool.

Thanks Steve
I like the $20 @jfriedm56, really cool with the added bookends too!
For my fellow Texans in the thread...
Wow, another awesome post.

@humanssuck
Wow these are all yours?
Yep. I'm a native Texan, so when I first started dabbling in notes several years ago I started playing around with them, and then once I had a nice $500 i figured I might as well work on a full set.
If I cant find any of the coins I need....might as well get banknotes with coins on them. lol
