== The story of the Emden will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, you can't turn the pages of the story fast enough. Think about it, a German World War I cruiser detached from the fleet in the Pacific, campaigns ferociously in the Indian Ocean, finally sunk by the Australian cruiser Sydney. Part of the crew escapes, makes their way in a sailing craft across the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, up the Red Sea, by camel to Damascus and Constantinople, and then finally home to Germany.

Great notes, great ship and great story behind that ship!
Wonderful!
Not a big $ item (well under $100), and "just" one of many purchases, but no question on this. Here's why: linky and here: all of 'em
I'm afraid it's no surprise that MY most thrilling purchases in 2015 were these five notes for my $1000 1934 LGS set!

1. Any The Zanzibar Government note in any condition.
I had a really tough time deciding what my most thrilling was. That was a perfect way to state the topic, it made me take some extra time to think about it. There are so many incredible small size US notes I picked up this year that it is impossible for me to choose.
So instead, I went world and it was no question my Mexican Poker Chip notes! Both were from this year's Memphis. A few years ago, I saw this design in the mega thick world catalog. It jumped right off the page and just blew my mind! I hoped to own an example one day and ended up with a killer pair instead!!!

This was thrilling for me to find...the only counterfeit example of the 4th issue 25C note....up until several months ago, not known to exist and one of a kind!
Great find Dave!
I don't play favorites... my most thrilling purchase is the one I just made until the next one comes along...
That's sort of the way it is with me too! Hard to single out favorites over a year's time.

Nice notes everyone! Congratulations Dave on a SUPER find!! For me NOTHING trumps rarity when it comes to collecting anything and is one of the greatest drawing card to currency collecting. At least that is my humble opinion.

Over the course of the year, I purged out a lot of lower end material for better material, and upgraded several notes.
My best upgrade was the $10 1934 C*. I had a ratty VG, and upgraded to a solid VF.
I was able to pay off the 1934 $10 K* LGS.
I was able to trade off a bunch of circulated funnybacks and a couple other notes for this.
I was able to make a few other small acquisitions over the past year.
Two more I cant believe i forgot:
nice everyone!

waiting to board a flight to Tampa from Newark. While everybody here for the most
part was watching the Manifest Auction on Oct 24th. I was interested in Heritage's
Eric P. Newman collection with several nice NJ obsoletes. 2 I had, another 2 I lost out to insane prices
but I was able to win this one with a proxy bid. I was the underbidder to one on an LK auction.
US Obsoletes esp NJ, WEB Notes,
National Iron Bank of Morristown (#1113) and Irish Currency
