Art1.2 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I like the Brown & White note. Simple and pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I got in two more 5's today. A 1969 FRN that heralded in the new design of the FRN seal, with the motto in English instead of Latin. and a 1929 FRBN from New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks. I'm not working on a particular series. Rather, I'm going for a type set of sorts. I say 'of sorts' as there will be some I will likely not be able to get, due to the large price tags that they command. For the $5 set, I have yet to get the following: 1914 Large Size Red seal (came *THIS* close to getting one last week, but thought twice and am waiting) 1918 Large Size Blue seal 1923 Silver Certificate - Porthole (likely one I will not get) 1929 National Type 2 1902 Large Size National Plain Back 1902 Large Size National Date Back 1902 Large Size National Red Seal (might never get this one either) I'm simultaneously working on a set of 10's as well, so whatever comes my way first.

thedeadpoint Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Very nice. I couldn't get to the local shop this morning - usually one of the only times of the year I get to add a new note to my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Got in a new Iceland note - blue version this time. Pretty basic notes, wartime issue on very thin paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Interesting note Dave. I recall seeing these a few times but have never actually had one or even held one. Is the paper very thin like tissue paper or onion skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I wish there were notes today that were that beautifully simple (but still counterfeit protected). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 The paper is more like tissue paper - not the Kleenex type, but the type that clothes are sometimes wrapped in when placed in a gift box. The paper seems stronger (though I haven't tried to experiment with it) but it's very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMMM Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Been in the hospital most of the year. Slowing down in getting new notes, it is probably time to get rid of my zoo. But for now, here is a cancelled Congo Democratic Republic 100 Francs 1964. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 MMMM sorry to hear you've been having health issues. Hope that 2015 proves to be a much healthier year for you. Very nice Congo note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 In the hospital ? Sorry to hear that. I hope you're getting better at least. I Hope the new year brings better health. I've always enjoyed seeing your posts with new additions for your zoo. if you let them run wild again, I'd understand, but would miss seeing the new ones added. You've actually inspired me to get several notes for my own collection. It's more important to Take care of yourself first though and stay well. I agree with Art: That is a cool Congo note.
