One more that came today:

_{Here is another one I picked up from the post office today, this one is interesting in that it's a common die marriage, but early enough that the key diagnostic (a die defect on the N in United on the reverse) was not yet present when this one was stuck, which potentially makes this the O-107 "Prime" variety, which is considerably rarer. It was also struck about 5% off center, which after looking at a number of this marriage, is not uncommon.}

Got a couple few more over the last couple weeks!

Sweet National Dave!

I think I have one or two of them, and I'm pretty sure my 1926 Saint is in one, but that's hardly a rare coin.

I got this one in the mail today for my type set (bought off eBay). Pretty cool legend on the back which states:

This note is a legal tender at its face value in payment of all debts public and private except when otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract

Excellent thread!

A couple more today!

Don't worry, I have one more package to pick up tomorrow!

I got these three in the mail today!

And I think I might have to get the Star Spangled Banner silver dollars, don't care much for the gold design though.

These ones came in the mail last week:

And I got this one as a prize for the Omnicoin contest a few weeks back!

I got a 1940-S nickel yesterday!

Got another one last week from Thailand! A prize for the contest of guessing when omnicoin would reach 102,000 coins, it's a commemorative 50-baht coin for the Thai mint! Very cool, but I haven't had a chance to post it to Omnicoin yet, mayby next weekend!

I think they are all on my omnicoin, but I'm not proficient enough on omnicoin to know how to separate them into albums or groups or anything like that.

I pretty much paid full redbook value for an AU-50 specimen, but I think it was a fair price.

The mailman was good to me today!

I always thought the $10 was harder than the $20

That's correct, and this note in particular is quite late with the Speelman-White signature combo and dated 1922.

Great notes everyone!

 

jtryka, I noticed that the first note has serial number "64". That is pretty low number. Do you know how many were printed?

Actually, that is not the serial number, but the charter number of the issuing bank, and it's something to get charter numbers less than 100, and for this particular one, that is the lowest charter number for the state of Wisconsin, so an added bonus. The serial numbers are located below the image of President Harrison and up to the right of "United States of America" so for that note, the serial number is pretty high, 115860, while the other note had a lower number of 92686, but both are still high enough not to add much to the value.

Jtryka, what motivated you to get two of the same design but of different banks? Just curious

The simple answer is that I bid too aggressively and won both when I would have been happy with either one!

picked these two up from the post office this morning:

Very nice Art! I love the MacArthur coins, I have a BU set of the peso and 50-centavo myself!

Nice Hawaii Dave!

Well, not from the mail man, but I got all my Christmas and Birthday presents for myself at the coin show today!

This one is a die marriage I already had (and before you ask, I had my book with me and attributed it before I bought it, but these early dates don't show up too often, so I jumped on it while I had the chance!):

This second one is an overdate, 1817/13 and the more common of the two die marriages (actually, it's the same marriage, just a later die state with the die crack on the reverse going through the ME in American and down towards the wing, I really like this one!):

And here is the last, this one has some cool die cracks and it's an R-4 die marriage!

I have a complete set of those which were sold by a stamp and coin company after the war, purporting to be notes for a planned invasion of the United States. Interesting designs though!
