Check out these old boards (copyright 1938). Morgan Quarters...I guess I'm not that old after all!

Collector of numeral seals.That's the 1928 and 1928A series of FRNs with a number rather than a letter in the district seal. Owner/operator of Bottom Line Currency

    I love those old boards, particularly when they have spots for the 1894-S dime or 1913 Liberty Nickel. I remember holding about a dozen old Whitman holders that each had a spot for the 1913 LN, and each book listed the mintage as "5 Only".

    I think I saw an old Hawaii Five-O episode where somebody stole from a coin show a 1913 Liberty nickel and hid it in a gumball machine or something... :smile:

    To take us terribly far off topic, there was an episode of the Sam Spade radio show where someone did that with a quarter eagle. https://oldradioworld.com/shows/Adventures_of_Sam_Spade.php#google_vignette

    If memory serves, it's an impossibly good date.

    Those are great old albums...I would love to come across some of those at a yard sale. Even without coins. Cheers, RickO

    Imagine finding these at a yard sale, some young kid selling stuff, "Yeah, my Grandpa had these in an old bureau, you can have 'em for ten bucks."

    @Onastone.... Things like that have happened. Had a friend out in WA state that got two old albums in that way... had some coins in them as well....No big treasures, but cool anyway. Cheers, RickO

    I think George T. Morgan would be rolling in his grave to have his work compared to Barber. Barber’s designs look like a collection of Victorian era drag queens.

    I guess I should start roaming tag sales and yard sales....you never know.
