Hi All, I've been collecting paper for about 25 years now, mostly type and Nationals. Lately, I've been drawn to Obsoletes. Give me some ideas on some of the most beautiful Obsoletes that you've ever seen. I'll check them out and consider them. I know the South Carolina State issues are pretty and I notice some Michigan and Rhode Island notes are pretty cool. Oh, and some Tennessee notes are really nice. I'm in NJ and most from my state are just ok. lol! Give me some eye candy! Thanks! Gary

    How about a pretty pink note:

    Or not quite as pink, but New Jersey related:

    I like this Texas note.

    How about some blue notes, I've been told these notes are referred to as the "Morristown Blues":

    I like how the "3" is incorporated into the vignettes in this Iowa note:

    Nice $3 notes from New Jersey and Iowa....and I like that the names of the "individually liable" stockholders are listed on the back of the Dubuque note...

    The female figures on the note are quite attractive and overall it is quite appealing - plus it has a ladder serial number. It is interesting that a note issued in Georgia in Oct. 1861 would not specify that it was payable in Confederate funds - or maybe this was before private bank notes had that wording on them.

    Given that the printer was in New York, I would wager that the note was printed before secession. Nice note regardless.

    SPMC LM #405 - Collector of Ohio obsoletes. And other stuff, that I'm not going to tell you, so you don't buy it before I do.

    The first sheet is the June 1862 printing run. Most notes I see from that date are in bad shape. This sheet is in excellent condition. The second sheet is from the Feb. 1863 printing run. The top 15 cent note on the left is the FRB. 1863 error
