see323 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 So their names were Stephen and Stitt. I shall work harder to complete a solid 5s type set. So far, these are the two pieces acquired for the type set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Nice solids See. The lions are not just prominent in HK, but also in China - even in jadeite, bronze, granite etc - they are regarded as good omen for business - like prosperity insurance in the form of integrity. I remember seeing them in various places like hotels, banks etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Yes - Very nice notes there See! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Woo Hoo! I'm pretty jazzed about this note: 1923 red seal note. This will complete my US $1 type set from 1899-present. Though I'd like to have the experimental R and S notes, they cost is pretty high, so I likely won't get them. A Barr note would be nice someday but as for types, this is the last one I need. I'm going on an extended weekend and when I get back it should be here waiting for me! ** Edit ** Updated photo ** Edit ** Updated dancing banana to show how red I am after hiking in the southwestern US Desert for a week. Sunscreen is your fiend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Congrats! The R&S notes for the silver Cs can be had pretty easily in my opinion. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Been through Hagerstown a few times, it is in a very lovely part of Maryland near the Appalachians. Back during the time those notes were being issued Hagerstown was the transit point for a lot of trade betwixt the east coast of the USA and the Ohio valley area. The city was also an important locale for staging battles of the Civil War, notably Antietam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Very nice notes everyone. I'm collecting some notes but only $1s and only from circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Very nice notes everyone. I'm collecting some notes but only $1s and only from circulation. Did you happen to find any of the 2009 series $1 notes yet? I see them from time to time at work but I'm waiting to get a couple sequential crisp UNCS when we get some packs in. We haven't gotten much in the way of new $1's lately; we will likely get some later in the year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 My earliest FRN, and first large sized FRN that I have owned since I was a kid. Talk about the colonialist imagery used on this note, the USA had "leased" the Panama Canal Zone when Panama was assisted in it's independence efforts from Colombia in 1903. By 1914 the Canal had been completed and the USA had it's colonial crown jewel, in the age of empires and colonial expansion, the Canal Zone was a strategic military and commercial prize that paled European powers colonial possessions in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
