Hello banknote forum people, Here are a few of my recent pick-ups: 1916 5 Peso Star/Replacement Note 1903 2 Peso Silver Certificate (signature of President William Taft, 6 years before he was a US President!) 1937 10 Peso PNB Note (Washington RADAR Note) I would post more, but I don't want to take up too much room. These are some of the more interesting US/Philippine notes I have bought recently, and while I didn't intend for this to happen, each one has a US president on them! Thank you for looking!

Vfox, The main reason I have my better notes graded, is because I am mainly a collector. To me, I would much rather have a graded note than a raw, ungraded note. The cost is inconsequential really, because if I decide to sell (which happens alot since I attend many auctions/shows), then it is third-party graded, and fetches a much more handsome price than a raw note. I constantly stay on the lookout for the better note. If I find one that is better than one I have in my collection, I buy it, and send it to PMG. It's all a matter of preference really. At the end of the day, a nice note is a nice note, and a rag is a rag, even if it says PMG 4. Take care!

Here are the PMG graded notes: p11b 1912 100 Peso BPI Ch. Fine 15 p19 1928 50 Peso BPI Ch. Fine 15 p34e 1908 20 Peso Silver Certificate Very Fine 20 p60b 1918 1 Peso Treasury Certificate Ch. Extremely Fine 45 p100a 1944 100 Peso Treasury Certificate Ch. Extremely Fine 45 Well, I am fairly pleased with the grades, however, as stated before, I think the 1918 could have graded AU, but I knew that the faint middle fold would hold it back. PMG really does a great job of accurately grading notes! I have decided to sell all of these except the p11b 1912 100P. I will be listing them on eBay tonight. Thank you for looking, and enjoy your day!

Hello Scottishmoney, If you would like to do a post on Philippine banknote beauties, let me know and I'll provide hi-res scans of the notes you need. I can think of 4 notes off the top of my head that would qualify. Let me know! Brett

Hello Dave, Thank you for the very kind words! 2 of the notes I posted pics of are for my personal collection. The 1912 100 Peso, and the 1918 1 Peso (however, I have another 1918 that is PMG graded at AU, and depending on the grade, it may end up on eBay as well). The other two I will be selling on eBay. I currently have a few lots for sale on eBay, including a 1944 20 Peso Victory STAR Note, a 22 note lot that includes a 1944 1 Peso Victory STAR Note (low grade), and a 1949 Victory with Central Bank of the Philippines Overprint (THICK VARIETY). If you would like to view my auctions, please click here. Thanks again Dave!

Thank you vfox, I hope that PMG goes easy on me! The 50P I believe will grade VF20-25 (it has been trimmed and has a light pencil mark across the front) and the 100P should grade Choice Fine 15 - VF 20. I am really looking forward to seeing what the 1 Peso note grades. It only has a faint middle fold. I'm hoping for a AU53, but would be happy with a CH.EF45. I will update the scans when I get the notes back. Thank you for the compliment, and sorry for the story!

Hello all, First post! Allow myself......to introduce.......myself. My name is Brett (chiefpawpaw on eBay & banknotebank), and I collect, buy, sale, and trade US/Philippine Banknotes (1903-1949). Anyways, I just thought I would share my latest purchases with you kind folks. Please have a look at my US Administration Philippine Notes on banknotebank.com (ABSOLUTELY NO JIM's, or GUERILLA MONEY)! I am only interested in the US Printed Phlippine notes. Here are a few of my latest purchases: p19 1928 50 Peso BPI (Bank of the Philippine Islands) Low 3 Digit Serial p60b 1918 1 Peso Treasury Certificate (Greenback) p11b 1912 100 Peso BPI p34e 1908 20 Peso Silver Certificate This note is very similar to the infamous 1905 $20 Gold Certificate "Technicolor" note (although, not the LARGE size as the US $20 Technicolor). Two cool facts about Philippine paper money from the period is that 1) The USBEP printed all of these notes and 2) the Philippine paper money implemented the small size (current size) design from it's inception in 1903. I hope that you enjoy seeing these rare notes! Currently, all of these are at PMG being graded. The 1928 50P & 1908 20P will be on eBay very soon.If anyone has any questions regarding US/Philippine paper money, please contact me! I will do my best to be a help. Take care!
