Thanks Ben!

Now that should be an easy way for the Treasury/BEP to actually do something that doesn't affect design, security etc. GREAT recommendation Ben!

Really good insight and I agree and will always check both. But I'm seeing a trend with notes that are $300 plus (keep in mind my ceiling does not exceed $1000) that the "all in" cost with Heritage is cheaper. I've recently been looking for a $10 National Bank Note 1882 Brown Back - nothing special just a note for my type set - no rare banks, names, etc. I spent 3 months researching what I believe is a fair market price using the book Paper Money of the U.S. as a guide along with eBay and other auction results. A month ago I identified a note to watch (track) on Heritage. During that time the cheapest note was around $750. The Auction was Nov 5th on Heritage and I was tracking a $10 from Portland, Maine. I got the PMG VF 20 note for $384 (including premium) plus about $40 in "service/tax" charges. That's about half of what the "book" value guide is - which I think is high. The same category notes and grade on eBay couldn't touch that price. But I have gotten some fair prices on eBay. End of the day I highly suggest that you utilize every seller type out there to get the best value for what you want. Thanks for the thoughts and appreciate the comment.

That is funny!

@@PolarCurrency The last note I found was listed for $2199 on eBay and it sold for about $1850 on HA 2yrs ago. If you factor in the eBay fees they're probably taking a loss (breaking even) if the original buyer is seller. Paper money of the US has it valued at $375 for a 63 this is a 65 maybe there is that large of a gap in price I'm not really sure. There are only 2 at that grade looking at PMG's population. PCGS population has none at 65 and two at 64. So maybe it is really worth that much 😨 not a mule or fancy serial number either.

@@Meow_Ag47 It always surprises me to find a better "deal" on Heritage over eBay especially on notes getting over $300-500 price range. But you can find some good prices on eBay you just have to be trolling eBay everyday! Yeah the price gap between 63/65 can be a jump - all depends on the note and what is out there for known population. It could be worth "that much" - don't know until someone actually pays the price!

I know you just laugh 😂 but I have money date 1934 red seal legal tenders notes 20 50 100 that never reales this gonna change a history contact me if you want to I send it to a proff

No Legal Tender Red Seal (United States Notes) were issued for series 1934. Only Silver Certificates (Blue Seal) and Federal Reserve Notes (Green Seal) and technically Gold Certificates (Gold Seal not available for public use, had 1934 Issues. Small Size Legal Tenders were only issued in Series 1928, 1953 and 1963.

Yes - a sad story and basically happened three times or more. Thanks for stopping by.

Yep - Kind and trusting. In a very - extremely small way, that can never compare to the total loss of life, there was justice for Capt. Cook.

Hah! I had to make the purchase! As for the Sheldon scale, yes, very different from 50 down. Thanks Pierre!

I think the answer, especially for Type collectors is to be consistently inconsistent - especially when there's a budget. And there's always a budget. Thank you sir!

Thanks Roman - hope all is well!

I know! What!?

Thanks Gunny and just remember...most likely I'm your bet low grade option!

@PolarCurrency are you saying you're cheap?

@@gunnysquarterdeck8550 Yes, yes I am.

@@PolarCurrency and we love ya for it.

Appreciate that and thanks for the support.

Thanks!

Chamtstar9669 first off thanks for the comment and appreciate where you are coming from. Probably not shocking to you is that I disagree. You have to go a lot deeper than dates before and after 1776. The Revolutionary War did not began on July 4, 1776. (The First Continental Congress met from September 5 to October 26, 1774.) There is no lie or concealment as to when did our current form of government was adopted but a lack of remembering that the first form of government was the Articles of Confederation (November 1777 until 1789). A better question to ask is who, exactly, gave the original members of the First Continental Congress the power? (That's a sidebar.) The Constitution was approved by the individual states - requiring 9 of the 13 for formal ratification. This fact was celebrated with the 50 States coins in order of states joining the Union with the first nine quarters being the states that ratified the Constitution "first, second, third, etc". This is all taught in basic middle and high school Civics class but no one cares to remember. The proof you ask about? It's in the Congressional legislative bills that were passed making FIAT currency legal. The proof is in the 3 Supreme Court cases challenging FIAT currency as being Constitutionally legal tender (#1 was in favor, #2 overruled and case #3 in favor and it has been addressed since the 1880s. Those documents are the proof. Again, no one cares to even do a simple Google search anymore that provide numerous sources. Don't believe that go to the Library of Congress and read the actual documents. The history isn't a lie - just no one wants to do their own homework anymore. You call FIAT/paper money a Ponzi scheme, and I understand that point of view - don't agree with the Ponzi scheme aspect. My question back to that is how do you back currency (and I mean all currency in the entire world) when there isn't enough gold or silver to do so? But that's a very minor point. The truth is the USA would not exist today without FIAT currency and for that matter the accumulation of debt. Did you pay 100% cash for your home or car? If you did you are part of the .000000001 percent in the world that can do so. Without Continental paper money the "American Rebellion" would not have been successful. Without incurring debt - primarily to France - the Revolution would not have been successful. Without FIAT/paper money for both the Confederate and Union - a Civil War would not have been fought. Neither side had the hard specie to pay for war. So the CSA would have left the Union without a shot and history would have been very different. If you agree that the Union should have prevailed in the Civil War debt had to be accrued. Within the first year of the Civil War both sides were almost bankrupt as forms of government. The truth is since 1933 by far most of U.S. currency issued has been FIAT/paper currency. Only $1, $5, and $10 bills were backed by silver - yet Federal Reserve Notes were by far the dominant form of circulating currency. The U.S. made it through the Great Depression and WWII becoming the greatest country on earth with FIAT currency as it's main form of cash. There simply isn't enough silver or gold to back every dollar. Post WWII until today? You can argue that the U.S. isn't what it was 100 years ago or that the last 50 years the U.S. has become a different country, not the most powerful country or politically strayed to far in one direction or the other. But one thing is clear? That is fact. The U.S. is by far the most financially stable and affluent country in the past 100 years and it's not even close. Was this because in 1968 silver certificates (a very small percentage of circulating currency) were not backed by silver anymore? What bridges the gap? History and the love for collecting paper currency. For without FIAT currency there is no way that the USA could have grown, expanded to become the world economic power by the end of WW1. That power didn't come from gold and silver. It came from the capitalist who formed the companies that made our country. It came from the workers mining that gold and silver, inventors, service providers, farmers, and the labor force that developed into the middle class that is the backbone of our country. The U.S. FIAT dollar has been successful not because it's backed by hard specie but it's backed by the faith of the United States of America and it's citizens. Why else would the dollar continue to be so strong int he world's economy? Yes it goes up and down - but so do the rest of the world currencies. And if there is a new BRICS currency - bring it on. Competition is a good thing. So as a paper money collector, yes I am a fan of the establishment. It's called the U.S. Constitution which in my opinion, is not status quo but a living document that can be changed and/or interpreted by the courts - good or bad. And a good question is is there a better form of government? Certainly it's not perfect but nothing is. Hell! I even believe in the Electoral College! At the end of the day the video was about can numismatists collect both coin and currency? Even if you hate FIAT currency the old Silver and Gold Certificates, National Bank Notes and Treasury Notes were not FIAT currency. And to have a $20 Double Eagle and a 1922 $20 Gold Certificate or an 1899 $1 Black Eagle and a Morgan Dollar together as part of your collection is pretty cool. (Sidebar to debt: It has gotten out of control but blame the elected officials, no matter what party controlled Congress, who have never voted to have a balanced budget every year like all U.S. states? Both sides of the aisle are to blame for our current amount of debt. All so they can keep giving promises - liberal and conservative ones - to the voters and preserve their own re-election. Term limits would be a good start to that conversation - but that's another sidebar...)

Preparation is never foolish. But we’re talking about a hobby not investments.

As of today 1 US Dollar equals 7.73 Guatemalan Quetzals

Morgan Backs are awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks champstarr - and yeah the Morgan Back is one of the coolest banknotes out there and can be spendy. But eBay is by far not the cheapest place to purchase. Heritage has sold about 10 Graded F12/15 notes this year for less than $1,500 and have pretty good eye appeal. That's even with the "premium" fee. Don't know why but once prices get up there with eBay they get overpriced and your much better off on Heritage, a Coin Show or your LCS. Is that true with coins that get up to $1,000?

That topic went on the list! That will mix large and small size and I would want to bring the price point down.

Thanks for watching and the kind words!

Thank you Tyler - it’s great having g you part of the panel. You add a lot to the discussion and this topic, which was your idea, shows that. Appreciate you!

Thanks HY! organize away!

Cool that you collect both ways. It's strange from the currency side to see coin collectors need every year/mint mark but when they start collecting currency it's nope, just need one example. Thanks Joe!

@PolarCurrency If I were collecting all the currency you showed in the video, I would definitely be the guy that would want 1 of each "noticeable" design change, like vignette differences. Although honestly, I wouldn't care to collect different years or series (the letters before the numbers?), I would just want 1 of everyone different design.

Thanks Shawn - was sorry to miss the show last month. Was out of town with the family. How did it go?

@@PolarCurrency Overall, very strong show, no safety/security issues, good attendance. Markedly more bullion buyers/sellers. I picked up an 1854 $3 gold piece to finish my gold type set. Still looking for the Hawaiian $5, $10, and $20 in MS64.

Thanks and understand completely! Time and budget - two things that get in everyone's way no matter how much money you have!

Thanks for the comment. Good idea! Check out the document now - far right column I added links with grades. Best I can do for now. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19COqcEqfuOc3uQI37cc2PdjqByRpmSKrxOk2qQDXkNs/edit?gid=1480971358#gid=1480971358

I get it! Large size notes were a gateway drug to Obsoletes for me! Good luck with the search!

Appreciate it and thank you.

I am with you! So many more options and variations to consider than coins - but fun to look!

Thank you RNR!

That could be an answer!

Thanks Stu! You guys provide the information I just put pictures up!

Thanks Emanuel and you are welcome. Maybe I need to do a large size Canadian list?

Nice note - worth a bit more today!

Thank you sir! This one took a few meetings before hand with a "small group" but fun!

That is awesome trivia - William Windom who is from my home state. I did a video on just that note!

@PolarCurrency Thanks for replying. I'll be starting my own currency videos soon. It will be MrT currency. I've been watching your videos since day 1.....they are awesome!!!

@@tonyfoster950 MrT! Fantastic - there needs to be more currency channels out there. Keep me posted please.

@@PolarCurrency I will

Yes I do and I use Google Sheets - used to use Exel but always worried about loosing it, etc. Many ways to do it but I just use columns with categories of denomination, series/date, serial #, Catalog #, condition, est. value, what I paid, purchase date, miscl.notes, and where I store/keep the note. I separate tabs by large, small, obsolete, world, Canada, Mexico etc. It takes some time to start it but worth it and easy once you have your notes "registered"/

@ Thank you, sir! A buddy that I go to coin shows with suggested excel but I like how you set your list up.

I know - it's been a while - too much things going on.

Thanks for watching and the support Jeff!

Thanks BA! Had to give some eye candy for you Morgan lovers!

Thanks for the kind words - just lucky to be able to be a part of the Roundtable and have the support. And you are correct! Of course with a little PhotoShop help! Love it that you notice!

Thanks Mark - great hindsight going forward! There is always another episode and we can refine and divide into multiple tabs on the doc!

I saw on your "- Small Size " currency for the 2004A $10 the s.n.# is all 2s and all the others are generic #000000000 (I thank). Is that yours? 😊

Next is a basic confederate note collection 😊 There's a confederate note book that list twenty four notes. But I do not have a copy.

Ontario thank you for all the work and help you put into this. Fun having the before small group meetings.

Thanks GenX - every time we got consistent we through it out the window!

Thank you! And great point on Nationals. They are such a big category and complicated.

Well, to start off I already hate you! And not being a coin guy...I don't care! Just kidding good information Dean and thanks for clarifying. I need to stop doing anything with coins.

@ nah you don’t need to stop with coins. I think it’s fun and adds to the conversation. Like I said great video leading to awesome discussion on a very cool topic. Like we’ve talked before there is too much emphasis on coins in “numismatics”. Keep the awesome content coming my friend! Thank you.

Great points Timothy. Great idea with small size to add each District. My thoughts are that R & S and WWII, based on our logic that we ignored a lot, is not a type but like you said is a must for historical collection.
