Re: Does anyone know anywhere I can get a $50 devil face note?

It will depend on a lot of factors including minimum grade acceptable (which you haven't stated), eye appeal, original (or not), etc. The higher/stricter your requirements could make your pursuit either easy or or more difficult. Since the pandemic, everything has become a bit more dear but a lot of...

Re: 2 dollar bird series prefix

Catalogues only single out prefixes that are more collectible/sought after rather than regular prefixes. Here's the scoop on the AUG to AUN $2.00 according to my 2019 Charlton: The Thiessen-Crow signature combination was intended to begin with $2 note AUK1640000. However, notes with the Thiessen-Cro...

Re: 2 questions about banknote collecting.

I have a fairly small rural library. It’s possible but I will also check eBay. One of the hardest parts of being a collector is I don’t have a lcs :( The nearest LCS to me is over 1 hour drive from where I live. I went 2 years ago to get some large currency sleeves. If I buy the sleeves by bulk, I ...

Re: 2 questions about banknote collecting.

You might want to consider registering & entering your notes on Numista. Once you've done that & have participated on their forum for a while, you may also wish to swap notes (which the site allows) with fellow members.

Re: $2 Devil Face Notes

It's hard to say because you are not framing your question in a specific manner. Do you mean Choice UNC $2.00 compared to Choice UNC $20 from the first or 2nd signature combo? If you are talking about short prefixes (or change-overs), they're a different story (as are replacements). The BV's for the...

Re: Storing Banknotes

I was at a workshop on the storage/proper care of coin/banknote collections at the RCNA a few years ago. What was really surprising was that just about all the participants had experienced some damage to their collections & had stored their collections in their basements (or other problem spots). Wh...

Re: Bank Searching

I used to "recycle" cash at a few of my favourite branches but have really backed off in the last couple of years (mainly due to Covid & also due to the high # of new staff in training). Many of the new staff take forever to change up (or down) small amounts (like $2000 or 100X $20.00). It tends to ...
