5 Notes for the holidays

[MMMM]

What five banknotes would you most like to receive for the holidays?

[klark]

I like to receive a hybrid banknote from Bermuda, 2 dollars - 2009.

North Korea - 1 won 1992, Uzbekistan - 1,000 Som 2001, Somalia - 1,000 Shilling 1996 and Zambia - 10,000 Kwacha 2008

I'd like Santa to bring me five $10,000. bills.

I would like just one item, a complete collection of the Union Bank of Scotland bank notes.

EASY:

 

1928 C *star* - $1 silver certificate - Fr. 1603*

- Heritage has only sold 9 in the last decade, only about a dozen are known in any grade. $5K+ probably.

 

1928 D *star* - $1 silver certificate - Fr. 1604*

- Only 10 sold by Heritage since 2003. About a dozen known. Probably $3K+ starting in VG

 

1928 E *star* - $1 silver certificate - Fr. 1605*

- Called the "King of the $1 Silver Certificate Series." Only 6 sold by Heritage since 2003. Less than a dozen known. Looks to start at $13K.

 

1935 A - R experimental note *star* - $1 silver certificate - Fr. 1609*

- Only 12 sold by Heritage since 2003. Print run of only 12,000. Probably $2.5K and up.

 

1935 A - S experimental note *star* - $1 silver certificate - Fr. 1610*

- Just about 15 sold by Heritage. Again, only 12,000 printed. I'm expecting $3-4K and higher.

 

 

Those are some of the only notes I need for my entry-level currency series. That's what I love about the $1 silver cert. series. There are common notes, experimental notes, WWII notes, different signatures, colors, designs, mottos, sizes, and stars with rarities too!

 

I'm actually surprised by the low prices. I try to buy my notes in person - the thrill of the hunt - but I might make an exception and pay a premium if I find one on Heritage.
