Value
GoldFinger1969 and one other reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
Pretty rare if authentic. I'm having trouble matching up the President's sig, the cashier is Ernst H. Meyer. There are only two different sigs pair with Meyer's, Nieman which this is not, and A. R. Dolph, the sig on your doesn't appear to be either. Doesn't mean it's not real, just that it's not matching up with known records from what I can tell. If authentic it could go for a big number.2 points -

I don't recall what I paid for this and why I even bought it !! I remember at the time I didn't know about National Bank Notes...never knew that private banks names were on currency in the last 100 years or so (figured maybe after/during the chaos of the Civil War for a few years something like that may have existed). So a bit intriuqued by them and I bought this one in decent grade. FRB's and private banks both had the language attesting to treasury bonds on deposit.2 points -

True Radar Note
TheGrailCollector and one other reacted to GoldFinger1969 for a topic
The good thing is that the specialization (marketing) of all these differentiated "fancy numbers" are limited by the laws of mathematics and the digits 0-9, right ? I do see how the "super" annotation could come into play if you want the same letters buttressing the serial numbers on both sides. I see more specialization and more varieties with coins -- and the descriptions (PL, DMPL, etc.) and grades -- are more in dispute there than with currency/bill grading and "fancy" stuff. We can disagree if a coin is PL on both sides but a bill either is or is not a radar or repeater or other fancy SN. I see where you are coming from on currency/bills but at the same time, I knew what I was doing when I bought a bunch. With coins (Saints and gold coins of various types/sizes) I make infrequent purchases because of the high costs. With these bills -- even "fake" fancies -- I can buy something at an auction, actually win something, and I'm out about $60 (sometimes less ! ). Like I said to Mike, I was active for a few months and bought maybe a dozen or so bills of different fancy types so nothing that will set me back lots of $$$. Later on, I bought a few (for me) premium notes like my Hawaii Note and my $10 Gold Certificate. To me, the fancy's are mostly harmless, inexpensive ways to buy high-graded moderns (the classics would cost too much $$$) if someone wants a few conversation pieces and/or doesn't have the $$$ for more prestigious bills. You can buy a dozen of these "fake fancies" instead of a single ungraded $500 or $1,000 bill in circulated condition. It all depends on what you want. But I don't think people will get burned on sub-$100 bills/currency which most of these costs.....OTOH, I saw a coinfomercial over the weekend with 5-ounce silvers going for $999 and Saint-Gaudens Winged Liberty commemoratives asking $5,500. I only hope anybody who can afford to pay those prices can also afford to lose the premium paid.2 points -

True Radar Note
TheGrailCollector and one other reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
Lots of people collect notes with numbers that have special meaning to them, birthday, anniversary, jersey number, etc.. None are fancy typically but are special to those who collect them. Asia goes gaga over luck numbers, 2, 6, 8, & 9 are the good ones I think and 4 is bad (death). No one is touching a solid 4 note over there unless they are saving one to give to an enemy or mother-in-law. I'd be tough to regulate what is and isn't an actual fancy number on sites like ebay, there is just so many, Everyone's best bet to avoid getting ripped off is to learn by attending a few shows, visiting their local coin shop, or coming to reputable sites like PMG and a few others.2 points -
True Radar Note
GoldFinger1969 and one other reacted to TheGrailCollector for a topic
I just read all of your guys replies and I agree with mike! a lot of people (especially) on eBay are just trying to sell you hot garbage. i can agree with you that there are such things as combinations. But I also think there should be a limit or gap between what passes as a TRUE fancy and what doesn't! This only hurts the new collectors/ beginners. I wish sites that are open to sell Banknotes let alone fancy notes, had someone or something regulating what can be posted and what cant. All these (what do we call them) fake Fancys. are making it to complicated (I personally think it is draining the fun out of it). I made a personal booklet with everything I think Qualifies as an actual Fancy note. I did excessive research to make sure I didn't miss anything. i suggest u guys make a sheet. both for fun notes you can say and as well for notes with actual value.2 points -
True Radar Note
TheGrailCollector and one other reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
Nice note! It seems that PMG's definition of a Super Radar does reference that the prefix and suffix, block numbers, are part of or add to the serial number making if fancy, or fancier (super). It seems that a Super radar is the same as a True radar in PMG's world. Super Pedigrees This is when the serial number prefix makes the complete serial something different – something super. Any of the above pedigrees can qualify for the ‘super’ addition excluding Million Serial Number. The only requirement is that the prefix adds to the original serial number. There are two different scenarios where super fancy pedigrees come into play: The serial number is already fancy and the prefix adds to the pedigree making it super. The serial number isn’t fancy at all until the prefix is added – most commonly seen with radar serial numbers. Another exception is when the serial number can qualify for more than one special pedigree. Such as in the case where the serial number is A1A0000001: PMG will only notate serial number 1 for free. Yes, this is also a Super Binary-Radar-Rotator as well. The customer would need to request the super pedigree on the submission form for a $5 charge in order to have both pedigrees. Below are two different types of super fancy serial numbers. Try emailing PMG or asking this question in the ASK PMG section of the forum.2 points -

Highly-Graded Bills -- Any Bill Type
Fenntucky Mike reacted to GoldFinger1969 for a topic
Got any highly-graded bills ? Could be a recent bill with no special attributes that is a 69 or even 70 (not sure I have seen many 70's !!)....or a somewhat older bill from the last 100 years that is in the high-60's....or maybe pre-1900 where "high" could be in the 50's or 40's. Here's a Silver Certificate that graded 68 from the 1957 Series.1 point -
1935-A Hawaii Silver Certificate Grade?
Fenntucky Mike reacted to GoldFinger1969 for a topic
My Hawaii note (I think it's my only one, have to check) is grade 67 and very low SN so that drove up the price. I think Hawaii notes aren't quite like SC's but in low-60's or lower grades with any SN they are pretty common so maybe only worth $10-$30 so not worth it to grade/holder as you said.1 point -
1935-A Hawaii Silver Certificate Grade?
GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
To me it depends on if you can recoup the grading fees and be money ahead when it comes time to sell, I don't use an arbitrary minimum dollar amount as a determining factor. Of course some people just want to have a note graded so it can be added to a registry set, regardless. The grading fee alone for this note would be $37, add shipping there and back, handling fee, insurance, etc., and your looking at a sizable sum. Tough to recoup that money on a note like this.1 point -

Nice one GF. Small size NBN's in circulated condition can be had for decent prices, I've been exploring them a little bit, might be a good area of the marked to dabble in undisturbed for not a lot of $'s. When I say circulated I'm talking in the 30-40 range with Quality paper, a 58 like that would bring a good price. Someone may want to try and crack it out if it looked good in hand.1 point -

Silver Certificate Glut -- no market for many bills
GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
There are some rare one's GF. Looks like for series 1928 notes Fr #'s 1603*, 1604* & 1605* are the one's to keep your eye out for and it seems that most from that series pull a modest premium. For 1934 & '35 SC's Fr # 1606*, 1606a, 1607m*, 1609, 1609*, 1610, & 1610* pull decent to big premiums in circulated condition. Doesn't look like there are any winners in the series 1957 SC group. Depends on what you have, I'd pick up a copy of Paper Money of the United states by Arthur and Ira Friedberg if you can, otherwise try to look up the Fr. #'s I gave you on HA or SB to see if you have any matches or post a few here and I'll look them up.1 point -
True Radar Note
GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
For National Bank Notes I see serial number 1's more often than you would expect and I don't really collect U.S. notes so I'm guessing the frequency at which they show up is even greater than I imagine. HA just had an auction a few months back where there were four serial number 1 NBN's in the auction, I only looked at the Michigan NBN's (4 of 17 were S# 1's) so I imagine there were several more in the auction for other regions. Based on what I've seen, yes. Not all, but more than you would think.1 point -

Nice note, I've only purchased a graded fancy number note twice if I remember correctly but I have gobs of raw fancy number notes. Most fancy numbers can be bought at reasonable prices, except for solid and low numbers (10 and lower), 100-11 S#'s bring strong prices for U.S. notes and 10000000, 20000000, 30000000, etc., numbers as well.1 point -
Average age of note collectors?
Fenntucky Mike reacted to GoldFinger1969 for a topic
I think they WOULD be interested -- IF they knew about their beauty, artistry, history. Ditto coins. The problem is that you are more likely to be exposed to videogames and useless hours spent posting on social media than being exposed to the beauty of what constitutes the words and images on our currency and bills. Ditto coins. I wish I had been exposed a long time ago, when I had more $$$ and more time.1 point -
1928 $10 Gold Certificate
GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
You could very well be right, and if fact probably are, with all of the soiling on the OP's note it could drop it down to around 30 depending on other condition factors. I must have been in a good mood that day. I will also say that your note appears to be in fabulous condition for a 45, under-graded perhaps? PMG didn't give it an EPQ designation so I'll assume that the note was pressed. Fabulous ink on the face of the note.1 point -
Hey, Now It's 'Bout Time To Set Things Straight
GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a journal entry
I have never seen a set of notes and Pick #'s be so mismanaged in all my years as the 100 & 50 Hryven notes of 1992. I recently viewed a 1992, 100 Hryven note up for auction and I was surprised to see the labeling on the note. It was a cancelled note with perforation and listed as Pick # 107B on the label which I agree with for the most part. The reason the labeling was a surprise to me is that TPG's have been calling perforated notes specimens for years now and this was the first time I had viewed a perforated note having not been labeled as a specimen. 'Bout time! I have tracked at a minimum five notes of both denominations having been incorrectly labeled IMO, either as a specimen or specimen with the notation "unissued". These are the facts as I see them. The last edition of the SCWPM only lists Pick #'s 107A & B for these denominations in this series, no specimen P#'s are listed. The SCWPM uses images of specimen notes with red overprint for P#'s 107A & B, this may or may not have lead to some confusion. Especially when showing an image of a specimen but not listing a P# for one. Notes with ЗРАЗОК (SPECIMEN) in red overprint on both sides of the note are specimens and should be labeled as Pick #'s 107As & 107Bs respectively, which they typically are. Notes perforated with "НЕПЛАТІЖНА" (NOT PAYABLE/NON-PAYMENT) are unissued notes that were canceled and sold in commemorative sets. These should be labeled Pick #'s 107A & 107B respectively and should be noted as being "CANCELLED" on the label. Notes that are not perforated and not a specimen are unissued notes that were not cancelled and somehow made it out of the NBU's vaults. These also should be labeled as Pick #'s 107A & 107B respectively. The TPG's are so close to getting the labeling correct, the last piece of the puzzle is for them to label the perforated notes as being Unissued - Canceled or Unissued - Perforated - Canceled, something along those lines, and the labeling would finally be correct IMO. Not much can be done about the notes currently out in the world with bad labels but I have probably one or two of each denomination and I think I'll see if PMG will agree to changing the labels due to a "Mechanical Error", if not I may just cut them out and resubmit. I've previously written about the 50 & 100 Hryven notes of 1992 here:1 point -
1 Dollar Binary Note
GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
Nice find! A true binary! The note is not worth having graded as the condition is too poor, condition is still the major factor in value despite the note having a fancy S#. It's definitely a keeper and worth a small premium above face, I'd say in the $10-$20 range.1 point -

I just picked up the middle note and it fits in with this group of notes, Pick #5a, in displaying the printing progression. First note missing second printing, second note missing third printing, third note complete. Now if I can only find a blank back note, or even a uniface specimen of the back, I would have a complete set of progressive printing notes. I'll probably look around for a complete AKII 207 block note as well to better match up with the missing print error notes.1 point -
Gold Back Grading
GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
Yes, they do. I don't know that it's worth having them graded though, I don't think you'd recoup the cost of grading if you ever sold. Especially if they didn't grade 70, which is all that I see available on ebay. I have several Utah goldbacks, they are nice pieces and enjoy them, but I wouldn't have them graded. Is there a registry set for them?1 point -

1928 $10 Gold Certificate
GoldFinger1969 reacted to Fenntucky Mike for a topic
It's really hard to say what this might grade based on those pics but I would guess in the 45 range. Best way to determine value would be to look up recent sales of these at auction, according to Paper Money of the United States it would be in the $300 range but that info is dated.1 point -

Ok I just was looking through their auction archives and one got a net grade for “Foreign substance” doesn't mine have a foreign substance?
