Is this so wrong?

Whenever I see a topic that says post a certain note it always has high quality notes in it. For me I just do not find these captivating, not to say I do not like looking at them but to me bills are printed and to be spent and used so when I look for bills to buy I generally will stay with the ones that are worn, folded, creased, stained, soiled, torn, taped and used. If you put 2 of the same bills in front of me one in great condition and one in used condition I will go for the one in used condition. I know people collect different things so I am not worried about if it looks bad that I would rather have a ratty bill then a new one. So I ask this of you guys will you please post bills that I would like.

    It's a series 2009. Really nice color but with some crinkles and a bad crease I'd call it VF.

    Very nice find. From what I am seeing, I would call it an XF all day.


    I wish I could. That crease on the right-hand side probably disallows that though.

    The 99996 note also came in with it, but I didn't keep that one. Either way, the notes hadn't been circulating for long.

    Thanks for the comments, everyone. Any possible estimates on value, or maybe similar bills that sold recentlyu? I'd probably keep it for now anyway, although I'm not really a serial number person myself.

    Earthy notes, as I often lovingly call them, are awesome! Imagine the history of commerce. What a journey these notes had!



    I have a bunch, but here are some favorites!

    An advantage of NBN collectors is that sometimes the only note available shows evidence that it did its duty. Not really in my area but in my trading stock since someday I still think it might bring me a good STL metro note. Better yet it was cheap (at the time), is the only pre 1902 series note reported on the bank and (best of all) is from the last sheet of 1875s issued to the bank. With great sigs and good color on the seal and charter % overprint, what's not to love:

    This note was probably artificially "distressed" before being passed. Looks like it received a lot of circulation, which only adds to its story.

    Sounds like you have a lot in common with a certain collector on here that specializes in low ball notes.... hmm... who could that be? image

    It doesn't get much earthier than this, and it doesn't get much rarer than this. This is one of two known 1934 E* BGS $10's.

    About 6,000 CB block series 1928C $1 silver certificates were printed. The rest were a mix of 1928A and 1928B. So far all of the 1928C CB notes begin with 7553.

    Only seven recorded so far. IMO this is a VF20 at best. Either way, a well used and rare star.
