Thanks for sharing Dean, neat finds. For me the treasure hunting aspects of more modern issues is a lot of the fun I have in collecting.

August 8th finds:

I went to one of my regular banks and for the first time in a long time, they had paper money for me!

I picked the following notes out of the mutilated pile today:

Five birds $2s
Three journey $20s
Three birds $10s
And one journey $10.

I turned down a lot of journey $20s and $50s and they didn’t look like anything special.  I even turned down three 1975 $100s, but they too were circulated and not worth a premium.

Enjoy!

Not sure if this is of help to anyone, but I was using the high/low charts but they end at the Journey series.

Our August meeting has been bumped up by one week to avoid scheduling conflicts with the ANA Convention and  member's preplanned vacations.

The topic for the evening will be mythical creatures on banknotes and should prove quite interesting.

See you on the 25th!  Log in details and information on the society is in the March 13 announcement.

August 4th finds:

Well, after waiting for what seemed like forever, my regular bank had something for me!
I got to search through the mutilated notes and this is what I kept:

A pair of nicer sequential birds 50s,
A journey $10 with a serial number under 100,000.
A 1975 $50
And a journey $50 with slight misalignment.

Oh, and I also picked up
3 rolls of pennies…

Enjoy!
Dean

Penny roll update:  In the three rolls, there were 11 American cents, 49 copper Canadian cents and the rest were all worthless steel or zinc cents, 1997 or newer.  The oldest Canadian cent I found was dated 1964 with a bit of red on the obverse.

August 4th:

A new, cool (digital) find!

I was browsing the NumisBids website (2019 RCNA auction, lot #371) and found the companion note to an out of register cut journey $20 that I found at a bank on December 15th, 2020.

This is my note:  AZW3543048; it's in better condition than the one for auction.

And this is the note posted on the auction site:  AZW3351047

The asking bid of $175 was not met and this note went unsold. 

Not earth shattering, but an interesting coincidence.

Dean

docstrange - wow! - nice note.
I think VF 35's are great notes to collect.

Sweet pair!
