All the more reason I'm impressed someone found it in time to save it!

So it circulated until someone noticd the solid digits? wow. lucky note to be saved.

Oh, Clive. You're really whetting my appetite for medieval and hammered coins!

Nice, See. Who are the fellas on those notes? I can't read them from 12,000 miles away.

I got all excited when I found a 1914 no mint mark and a 1922-D mint mark...

Those aren't hammered coins!!

haha.

GORGEOUS colors, Dave! Does anyone know the significance of those 3 legs. I saw them on some coins in PCI I think.

Creepy... the coin followed them!

for ages, say... since 1938?

I can't read arabic caligraphy very well. So I don't know what the top left blue one says. I can't see the other two left ones very well. The top right one I can kind of make out but still am not sure. The black one looks like "Al shamree" or some mix of Al - sh - m - r - ee. But I bet all of you can prove me wrong. I'll give you $75 for the note, Jos.

I'll give you $250 for the one on sale!

Cool, but why were you sitting on your dresser?

Register?

Nice catch with the $$ then, clive! And I kinda guessed double strike but I didn't catch the rotation between strikes.

No

Cool coin, YOC. Just curious, appx how much did that pretty penny cost you? I'd love to know how an ER sceat compares to a similar US coin rarity in price.

no!!!! I agree with your guess as to why there are unc-ish coins from the 1200s and fewer from later centuries

Glad someone else has the same logic i do!

Uncirculated coinaged from the 1200s, not bad... I guess the chances of UNC change from the 13th C are better than from the 18th C, eh? More people spending the money in the latter era.

Gorgeous.

See! You're back! I've been wondering if you've found all the super solids out there and had no more to post. That dong is one cool looking note. I can't tell if thats a yellow-green or a green-yellow or what color the note is.

From the Countryside, IL show: 1928 C $1 Silver Certificate. A key to the whole regularly-issued $1 cert. series starting 1923. Let's just say, I saw more 1928Es or 1790's cents or red UNC early 19th C copper or Hawaii/North Africa star notes than I did 1928Cs. Only one more note needed (1923 Woods-Tate) to finish the reg-issue series set I started.... The star notes on the other hand... those will be tough. I got it for an excellent price. I'm not happy with the condition but since they're so hard to come by, I took it anyway. If I find a nicer one, I can pawn this one off very easily to help pay for the nicer one. The nice thing about searching for the harder-to-find notes is that dealers always know if they have one or not. I don't have to sift through dozens of notes just to find it, I can usually just look for their featured notes or ask away. Makes searching the bourse easy and efficient. Also, I got a 1935 D narrow margins star note. I actually thought I had this one, then went through my collection realized one was mislabelled or something. Turns out I didn't have it. I got this for a good deal. It's nice and crisp and has good embossing. I got home to take it off my "need list" and I apparently already bought one at the last show... thats what happens when you don't wake up early to prepare your list. I also saw some awesome coins and notes I don't have. I was really really tempted by quite a selection: proof barber dimes, gorgeously toned half dimes and seated dimes, low-hundred dollar range early coppers (1790s and 1800s), trade dollars, 1923 Woods Tate in great condition, TWO Hawaii star silver certs! and... the one I was most tempted by Star North Africa note... Only $300 but I've got X-mas gifts to buy!!!!! GAH! So rare and hard to find, ESPECIALLY in an affordable condition!!! What a show. Thanks Carl.

From the Countryside, IL show: 1907 Barber dime in XF... not pretty but it was an OK price. The dealer got somewhat annoying... I need it for the set and these XF-AU graded barbers are harder to come by than their better graded counterparts. This monthly show will help boost the collection. 1928 C $1 Silver Certificate.

Exactly what I meant. I think one of the date/mint $20 issues is actually rarer than the 1933 issue (assuming there are a dozen or so as suspected) because of the melting during the depression. Looks like its the 1927-D that only has 6 or 7.
