Way to go, Art!

On PF 69 coins, can you usually tell what kept it from PF70?

Jeeeee whiz, guys.

Wow! I've been collecting these note for years and I never noticed the signature vs. series overlap! Even after reading the great links, it still doesn't make 100% sense to me.

How does acetone (even a light swab) affect luster?

Man, I love those French-African notes.

Only one from the Americas?! Wow!

Ohhh yes, I remember now. You're right. Fortunately/unfortunately, I do not collect with that kind of focus. That's my favorite banknote series and I've made lots and lots of progress, but I'm still cllecting by signature/star. Wow.

Are there more experimentals other than the R and S? I must know!

Wahoo!! Love those notes

jeeeeeeee whiz

Oh. Didn't see that part of your post earlier. I'll check it out. Thanks

I know it's out of the date range and it's a pattern, but does anyone have a 1856?

What I meant is that I thought they'd use the lyrics on the coin somehow.

I heard today (from someone who apparently saw it in coin world) that they're coming out with a silver bullion roujnd/dollar that features the Mercury Dime liberty on the obverse. Can't find any pics or news online though.

Oh I heard about this one. I like it but I thought they were going to do something about the Star Spangled Banner too.

Ahh Silly Me. I was expecting "alaska" not an acronym.

Hype?

Drought over here.

Wow. Two things about this statement are mind-blowing 7 years later... Highest savings rate a popular bank pays now is 0.9%. I don't even know how much gold has appreciated since then. Ok my ching (whatever that means): Most I paid for a coin for the first 10+ years I collected: $380 (at the time) for this 1941 PF66 Walking Liberty That was surpassed by this: http://omnicoin.com/coins/979194.jpg 1928 $1 - silver Peace dollar struck at the Philadelphia mint. This is one of two keys of the series at a mintage of 360,649, almost 500,000 less than the next rarest. I'd give it about MS-64. I think I paid about $450 or $500 (or maybe a bit more) for this. Worth it as I needed it and wanted it for years. And the most I've paid (that I can remember for sure) for a note: 1928 $1 silver certificate STAR note (good for one dollar of silver when redeemed) - signatures of Tate and Mellon - Friedberg # 1600*. Certified Choice New 63 by PCGS. Don't have the mintages nearby. Paid $500 for her. I was impressed that I didn't see higher figures listed by you guys. I've only been in this range a few times but always for coins/notes I have been searching for for years and need for my series collections. Also, I've been on this forum long enough to know a few of you are politely holding back

Unfortunately, I don't know off the top of my head what I was thinking about... Maybe I've seen that baby on the same medal but a different specimen

I recognize that naked baby. Is that used in many other medal designs?

Hurray! Thats a lot of faith.

Jeez! Oldie! On another note, have you ever had problems with coins being lost/damaged in the mail?
