I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING WHEN I CAME ACROSS SOME PAPER MONEY THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU..........THESE THREE BILLS ARE FROM WWII AND THEY WERE USED BY THE U.S. PROVENT COPIES.........SORRY ABOUT THE SIZE BUT I COULD NOT GET THEM CLEAR ENOUGH IN A SMALLER SIZE.......THANKS
THE FIRST IS A NORTH AFRICAN $5 BILL THE SEAL COLOR IS YELLOW AND THE OBVERSE IS THE SAME SO I DID NOT SCAN THAT ONE.....
I COLLECT THE PRESIDENTS IN THE MINT SETS INSTEAD OF INDIVIDUALLY......I DO HAVE SINGLES OF SOME IF ANYONE NEEDS A PARTICULAR ONE AND I CAN EASILY GET ANY ....JUST LET ME KNOW
LOOSE COUNT I HAVE 78 MORGANS.......A COMPLETE SET OF PEACE DOLLARS IN A DANSCO BOOK AND A FEW IN SLABS.......I HAVE USED THEM OFF AND ON TO TRADE FOR OTHER COINS OR PAPER NOTES......THEY USUALLY TRADE WELL IN MOST CONDITIONS AND WITH SILVER CLOSING AT ALMOST $20 AN OUNCE.....THEY ARE EVEN BETTER RIGHT NOW
I DON'T SEE ANY GOOD WAY TO DISPLAY THESE BEAUTIFUL COINS........HOLDING A FEW IN YOUR HANDS IS A GREAT FEELING OF THEIR POWER AND HISTORY.......SCANS AND PICTURES DON'T DO THEM JUSTICE AND SLABBING THEM REALLY PUTS THEM OUT OF THE FEELING PEOPLE MUST HAVE HAD CARRYING THEM AROUND IN THE 1800'S
WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BUFFALO NICKEL IS A TRUE AMERICAN ICON.......THE INDIAN AND BUFFALO ARE AN INTRGAL PART OF OUR HISTORY.........I KNOW I HAVE SHOWN SOME ALTERED BUFFALOES KNOWN AS "HOBO NICKELS" WHICH PLEASED SOME OF YOU AND UPSET OTHERS BECAUSE THEY DEFACED COINS.......BUT EVEN THE HOBO NICKELS ARE AN AMERICAN ADDITION TO THE COIN AND MEDAL COLLECTORS----THEY WERE MADE TO PROTEST THE HARD TIMES AND PASS THE TIME WHILE TRAVELING ACROSS THE U.S..WHAT SOME OF THESE ENGRAVERS HAVE DONE IS TRUELY A PART OF AMERICAN FOLKLORE.......I THOUGHT I WOULD SHOW A FEW DIFFERENT INDIANS AND BUFALOES........HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM
