I squinted ,but could not read ,(or rather, comprehend) for sure what they are redeemable for. (Lawful money?)Are those demand notes as dates would suggest?

I won't ask how you acquired cash in hand. (Note to self ,watch the news later.)

They are, "National Currency."
Series of 1929.
"Secured By United States Bonds Deposited With The Treasurer Of The United States of America or by Like Deposit of Other Securities."
Whatever the hell that means....
Regardless, all US currency is worth at least face value.
I always ask the tellers at my bank if they have any $500 notes or anything out of the ordinary.
I then say that I'll pay a "Finder's Fee" to call me with anything unusual.
--------------------------


And,
I got a $500 bill yesterday!


"Series of 1934"
"Federal Reserve Note"

Bought from a Fellow who has a booth at Pendergrass Flea Market.
My Friend and I have done much business in the past....
I told him to call me when he gets another high denomination bill....
He knows that I'm a serious buyer.
I told him that I could probably open a booth next to him and we would both become famous for coins and currency!
As long as we didn't buy and sell from each other!

Now then, where's that affordable $1000 note?

Best,

Scott

ADDED:
"Cash In Hand" comes from a Full House in New Orleans and "wheeling and dealing" other coins and currency.

Reminds me of a time when a Friend and I went to a "Sporting Goods" store for him to get new line on his reel.
The guy there looked like John Mellencamp.
As the line was being put on my Friend's reel,
I was looking around and saw some jars labelled, "Carp Bait."
I commented, "That must be some nasty crap."

Well, "John Mellencamp" dude came over, picked up a jar, opened it,
took a swipe of the contents with a finger and put it in his mouth!

I thought I might throw up, but he said, "All it is is puffed sugar, just like circus peanuts that you get on Halloween.
It's good for carp and to keep children away from the bait!"

Best,

Scott

The $50 note lists at $150.
The $100 note lists at $500.
And, the $500 note lists at $1250.
Of course I have considered the conditions and I have conservatively graded each....

I have less than a grand in all 3 notes.
I also picked up 3 $20 "star" notes and 33 $1 "star" notes. I paid a 10% premium. I did well!
Also got 5 rolls of buffalo nickels without dates for $10 a roll.
I have a bottle of Ferric-Chloride that can restore the dates....
Again, I did well.
In fact, VERY WELL!
In the first roll, I found a 1921-S!
Worth $22.00!

However, some collectors do not want Buffaloes that have been "Acid Treated."
Yet, some don't mind.
I knew that I couldn't go wrong at twenty five cents per nickel.....
Of course, there were several that were damaged and had no value other than 5 cents.
Those, I will release into the wild or throw in the yard of an old house for someone to find later with a metal detector.
I still have 3 rolls to go through....


Right now, I've got about 4-5 coin swaps in the works with folks in France, Canada, Germany and the US.

Wheeling and dealing!
Like Stealers Wheel!"



Best,

Scott

Uncle Bill I like calamari but can’t eat spicy......

 

[AU24K]

Feeling satisfied with my weekend's activities, including the usual laundry and dishes, I'll now fire up a cigar from New Orleans,
And wish everybody a fine week ahead!

Just remember,
What you do today will be known tomorrow.
So, ALWAYS do good today!

Always my Best Wishes,

Scott


Of course, those whom are familiar with fine cigars know of my following comments and photos....

A GOOD cigar will require one to open a smoking passage way.


I have a method of such....




The results of such an application....



And, all that is left is to apply a flame and enjoy the smoke from whence it came and the memories there of...

I may never again enjoy such a cigar as this, therefore, I will savor every puff.....
A $20 cigar?
Personally rolled in front of me?
Worth every penny!

2GF,

No problem then just skip the harissa sauce added to the mayo dipping sauce.

Belly up to the bar, Friends!
I'm in a generous mood.

Play your hand at the mints question and win an additional prize....
Silver?
Why, Yes!

But, know that there is a curve in the correct answer.
Do you know the answer?
I don't really think so....

(Sheesh! What do I have to offer for you guys to win?)

Don't let me down, Friends!



Who's gonna be a winner?



Scott

I have a treasure buried and have given clues.
I offer a prize and no one wants it.
Perhaps my efforts are for naught....
Perhaps no one takes me seriously....

Tell Y'all what...
If no one replies to the question that I ask about the mints, the whole deal is over.
Forget any prize offered.
Forget the opportunity even existed, because you were a slacker.
I really don't have time for slackers....

Now then, have you any questions or comments?
Do you want to claim the prize?
I don't care 'cause I'm comfortable in my finances....
I only work because I hate boredom.....
Play me....
You will lose....

DRAW~
"Skin that smoke wagon and see what it brings..."

And, when objects or items of value are offered to Friends or Family, that is a sign of a potential suicide.

I have seen these signs and reacted accordingly.

I have saved many from their attempts,
But, it is those I failed to save that haunt my dreams....

2GF,

No problem then just skip the harissa sauce added to the mayo dipping sauce.

Many thousand centuries ago, when I was a young E-6, I was on a trip and blah, blah, blah. So my Lt Col takes us to a Japanese Restaurant. He says to me” that green stuff tastes like guacamole. To get the right affect throw a big spoon in the back of your mouth and swish it around a bit”. I did........... it was Wasabi..........I drank my water......his water..... the Colonels water, the other E-6’s water, the E-8’s water, 4 tables around us their water.......I’m crying because I can’t see, I can’t hear, my heart is in my throat..........

Lt Colonel I haven’t killed any officers lately, but you just went to the top of my list! They too were crying......... because they were watching me......... and laughing so hard!And that my friends was my intro to WASABI!!!!!!!

2GF,

Thanks for the chuckles....me and my wife were on vacation in Vancouver many years ago and dining in a Japanese restaurant.

There was a young couple of Japanese descent at the next table obviously born in Canada. We'll the gals' boyfriend must have been in a mischievous mood because he got here to eat the wasabi (guessing she didn't know what it was at the time...lol). I had a nice chuckle watching her reaction.....
