  1. 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! :ninja:

  2. 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.

  3. 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.)

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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!!!

  7. 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.

  8. All recently from your cash drawers?! wow.

     

    Yep, every once in a while we get a nice flow coming in. About a year ago I found nearly $8.00 face in silver quarters mixed in about 18 rolls of quarters and 6 registers. Someone must've given a roll or two to the bank. Best thing I found still is that civil war token a few months ago though, here are some pics from my old post! I still am waiting to find a liberty head (V) nickel, or a indian head.
