Saor Alba Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Got this one 2 days ago: Yugoslavia P67a 1,000 Dinara 1946 - ornament paper, without security thread (AU) (scans are from Ron Wise's gallery, haven't had time to scan my banknote) Eww, I need to get one of those for my girly note collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Well, I finally broke down and bought one of these. Morocco 100 Francs issued in 1943. I love this note, but I was hoping to get it in UNC. This is the best condition I've seen it offered in years, and the price was good, so I bought it. I am not sorry. It is even better than I hoped for in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave M Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 That is really a neat note, Dave. I've chased a couple nice ones around with no buying luck. Nice to see you picked up a good one. I spent my latest wad of cash on a nice Algeria note, can't wait for it to arrive. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Jtryka, what motivated you to get two of the same design but of different banks? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Deadpoint, there are some of us that collect Nationals by the bank, the type, the signatures, the dates issued etc. For me I collect specifically three locations in the USA. I have most of the known notes from a small Missouri city. Here is my most recent acquisition from the FUN Auction the other night: The post Civil War era state, municipal and especially commercially issued notes are becoming quite a little specialist pursuit of mine lately. I have numerous examples from the South now, and one very rare and elusive one from deep in the North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMMM Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get into the earlier series with many many banks, I'm going to focus on the Richmond or Chicago banks... probably for similar reasons you chose yours.

Saor Alba Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 The simple answer is that I bid too aggressively and won both when I would have been happy with either one! I hate it when that happens, because knowing me, I will find a reason to keep them both. Stuff checks in but not out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 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.

Saor Alba Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yes, as Jeff is pointing out the charter number being 64 denotes the bank as an original charter bank from the Civil War era - curiously there were not a whole lot of banks that survived deep into the 20th century with their original charter number. Any sort of reorganisation etc would result in a new charter number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 That's correct, and this note in particular is quite late with the Speelman-White signature combo and dated 1922. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saor Alba Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 That's correct, and this note in particular is quite late with the Speelman-White signature combo and dated 1922. JT, at one point in a hoard acquisition I had a Series 1902 with the issue date in late 1926 or 1927 - I think it was from Battle Creek or Grand Rapids Michigan - but it didn't otherwise fit any themes in my collection and I did sell it to another collector. Just going on what I have seen it was fairly unusual for a bank to get a charter in the late 1920's. It wasn't so unusual in the early 1930's, but most of those were reorganisational charters for banks that were sequestered after the financial meltdowns then. The Series 1902 and 1902-1908 Nationals were the last notes that were handsigned in the USA, at least in small institutions. Other banks issuing more used rubber stamp signatures, and in the case of the largest banks they had printed signatures. It really is a fascinating area to collect and research.
