Very nice

And my older mexican coins....lots of silver!

Wow to all.

BIG WOW to the uncut sheet of notes.

Just got a bunch of Mexican silver from Kuhli. It's very nice stuff. Your's are in fantastic shape.

I love the stack of German notes.

nice, nice, nice!

Ok now I'm droolin'.

You're across the pond, too...
Glad they arrived, enjoy them, if you look for some other German "Kaiserreich" (~ German Empire) pm me, there are very nice silver coins too.. just take a look into my Omnicoin.

My pile of marks, I have 52 more coming next week!

So many wonderful colors and designs. You must sure love your Marks. Really don't see many of those at local shows or shops. I like them.

I'm about 1/4 Austrian so German money not only really interests me, it also has something to do with my families heritage. The designs on these note, for the most part are just wonderful, I have to say I really enjoy looking at them, I am thinking of framing some too.

Also (Burks, you can appreciate this) I am in college and have little money to spend on coins right now, and it just so happens that most of these cost me around a dollar, some less, the most was maybe 2 dollars. So having something as nifty as these, at these prices, sure makes it nice!

I understand that one!

A huge percentage of my family is German. I can trace my dad's family directly back to Germany and almost all of my mom's side as well. Just even better that German coinage/notes really attracts me too!

Some new note purchases.....lots of 300 russian notes, 100 zambian notes, 100 korean notes. I got the russian stuff for like $0.08 each note, and the zambian and korean for $0.23 each note. So like 6-8 for Russian and roughly $23.00 for the others. It's over the exchange rates, but I just love buying nice notes in bulk! When I get more money, expect about 400-1200 more lol.


On a side note, if anyone knows their Russian notes, can you tell me anything about these? I think they have something to do with a pyramid scheme in Russia and weren't actually meant for general use, but that could have been others, I dno. I got them because I like Russian stuff, and it was cheap!

Wow, so you're wallpapering a room in the theme of banknotes eh?

Nice actually, one fun thing you can do is give a friend a 10,000 (rouble?) note and watch their eyes...

If I was allowed to, I would!

Me too!

Some coins from Jeff

Hi!

Oh, very nice banknotes

Thanks Marvin, I'm actually bidding on some more russian notes as we speak! Also, do you know a place that has cheaply priced german currency from pre WWII? Especially the series 1910 mark notes I think they are beauties

Not really, but if you want I can take a look at the local antique shops (I hope it's the right word). Just give me some time to visit all of them, because they're all in other parts of the town. By the way, my father has got some more banknotes from the Weimar Republic, but I don't know what he wants for them.


I scanned them, but I can't add those here. Send me your Emailadress and I will send you them

Been a while since I've updated this!

Lets see here, I got all kinds of stuff, I'll have to take some pics tonight.

Anyway, for xmas I got 2 old newspapers from 1820 and 1863, a russian coin set, last of the cccp, a few rolls of unc jeffies from the 70's, and an unc roll of 56 (I think lol) wheaties. I got 2 nice new mexican notes, a 100 peso, and the new polymer 50 peso notes from a friend who went there. I got more german notes, another set of notes that includes the envelope from 1923 too! All kinds of stuff, pictures comin soon!

ok here is some stuff finally lol.








and the notes that came in it

had this for a while but never posted a pic

Dad gave me this




out of a till tonight


thanks art, you too

Lots and lots of nice coins & notes. The 83CC is my favorite out of this group - I think. It is really beautiful.

All eye-poppers. The foreign notes makes me impatient for the next Popular Banknote Idol.

Thanks guys!

Finally got myself a key date mercury......paid $12 for this one LOL! And a bunch of great notes including my first N African $1 note.

Nice one Vfox. If you noticed Vfox, the so called 10,000 rubles aren't really rubles but instead called "billets" or a ridicious name like "tokens". There was a time when the Soviet Union broke up and the rubles were very unstable, forcing people to buy either US dollars which is pretty much illegal but it happened or a scammer, (can't remember his name) just advertised that his "stocks" are worth a lot. Obviously people bought his story, bought plenty of his paper money and tada. It crashed one day.

Yeah, I was told something like that about them, although I didn't know any history on them, so thank you for that bit of info! I was surprised at how many people actually purchased those stocks, and how the people who issued them basically sent the companies into HUGE debt before running with the money. I guess like any good pyramid scheme, you gatta have something people want.

I think a few peeps are catching up to my former mass collecting.

Haha, I have a LONG way to go before that.

Great Unc 1895 Red Indian just walked into (and promptly out of) my coin dealers shop today. I'll get some better pics later, my camera died lol.

wow!

A real beauty!

Beautiful Indian Head Cent!

Some better shots of the indian head cent, and a off-center 1795 large cent I just got, an interesting silver bullion engelhard set, 1/10. 1/4. 1/2, and 1 ounce rounds, a Colorado state quarter from change with a nice rim cud, and finally a 1927-S quarter I found in change, but for some reason never looked it up....and now I know it's one of the key dates!!!

WOW to all of those!

1) The indian head is gorgeous
2) I wish I could hold that '95 in my hand
3) I never find anything interesting in change : (
4) See no. 3

Thanks muchly!
Actually I got all of those pretty cheap (especially the two I found at work lol). I only paid $30 for the indian head, which there is one on eBay for around $80 now in Red 64+ (which I feel this coin is), which will most likely hit around 100 by the time the auctions over.

Obviously $0.25 cent for a key date standing liberty is just rediculous lol, and same for a nice cud error like that state quarter. Cool thing about the 25-S is that it is a strike-through. The pillars of freedom (or whatever they are called) show onto the reverse at the tops of the eagles wings!

As for the 1795, I paid $56 for it, which is actually more than I should have, but I really wanted a off center large cent, and I figured, "eh, why not". Ones in that condition can normally be had for less than $50, sometimes in the $30 range if you're lucky.

Great stuff.

This is by far the best large note I've ever owned! I couldn't pass it up for the price, it's a great crisp, never folded au/unc. The corners are not super crisp, but heck, for what I paid I could care less. 1899 Black eagle.

WARNING||LARGE PHOTOS||

If I could only use the following smiley once in my life, here is the time to use it.

Great stuff Vfox.

My one dollar bill collection! I just got most of these out of an old timers collection, some (35 star note and later) found in change. But anyway, I'm going to finish up a 1900's currency $1 collection. All I need is the national currency 1918, and a 1928 red seal small size. (At least I think that's the only ones I'm missing from 1900 on.)

great stuff

Holy! Those are some neat bills you got there! Thanks for showing.

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with the Hawaii note, has a rather low serial number. It's the first one I've ever owned.....come to think of it....other than the black eagle, and 35 silver certificate to current, I never owned any of the others! The 1880 is a hard to get note, at least at a reasonable price, this one obviously has seen better days, but oddly the paper is crisp, just brown and kinda brittle, hence the tape. Must have been store in an envelope or something.

Well the black eagle is an FR. 228, which I think it pretty common but still an interesting signature combination. The 1880 Legal Tender is an FR. 30, also a pretty common one but any note that old is just plain cool! The 1917 is an FR. 36 and the 1923 is an FR. 40. The 1923 silver cert is an FR. 237, a very common signature combo. All told, an awesome set of $1 notes!

To be honest I know NOTHING about notes other than dates/value. Signatures are beyond me, besides a barr note lol, and the FR (im not sure what that is lol) I'm a bit lost.

Thanks for the info though Jeff, you seem to know your stuff on those!

Thanks for the kind words. The Fr. # is the Friedberg number, from the Friedbergs' book on currency. Every US note has one, and it's an easy way to identify the notes and whether it might be a rare variety. Signature combinations are less important on modern notes, since all the same series have the same signature combinations (i.e. all series 2003 $1 FRNs have Marin and Snow, etc.). On earlier issues, the signatures could change even though the series remained the same, such as the series 1899 $1 silver cert, which were actually issued into the teens I believe. Coin World's Paper Money Values has a neat resource for getting Friedberg numbers here: Coin World's Paper Money Values. This will not help much with the rarity of the notes, so for that I generally look at the PMG population reports or the Heritage auction archives. Hope this helps!
