why is this Silver Cert. worth so much?
"Frog" wrote in message
... Here's the link: http://www.trustedtraditions.com/tru...ial=F72000281B And in case the link dies, here's the text: "Serial # F72000281B, signatures of Julian/Morgenthau, Friedberg # 1605. What the Fr 1605 1928-E Silver Certificate is to the 1928 Silver Certificate type series is similar to what the Thumb is to the hand...it is the key component...The most important part...This note is a CGA 68 , only one of 3 known and very rare. Research has revealed just four notes have been certified Mint State 67. With only just a few grading 66...Serial numbered printing began starting with F72000001, see this early printed specimen with just three digits F72000281B...We would not mind considering taking your lesser graded 1928-E towards this potential upgrade. This note is amazing to view featuring the sharpest corners, the brightest inks with fat racetrack type margins...We are confident the current healthy Hobby Market will clamor for this Unique and Rare note. For any additional questions do not hesitate to email us or call... Feeling Proud to bring to market the "Best of the Best". With features such as bright paper, razor sharp corners, perfect margins, and deep dark blue ink on the seal, this note surpasses all others in its class. Very bright and crisp with deep punch through embossing. High quality CGA 68 GEM. A rare and great conversational piece." Currently priced at $9850! Why is this worth so much, when my series 1928A in the same condition is only worth $25? And what does this mean, "is similar to what the Thumb is to the hand...it is the key component...The most important part..." Is this hogwash or what? It is one of only 3, according to them. I've got the price of a 67 graded one at $4950. Seems like the extra point wouldn't be worth an EXTRA $4900. Then again, it is a low serial number, I mean it is virtually #281. My price sheet doesnt go to 68, though, but if you look back at the general trend, I think that about $6500-7500 is what a normal 68 would get. The low number certainly would help boost it up a little more, but I don't know about the extra $2000 for the lower number, so.....then again, how many of those other two 68s are for sale? Then again, are the 3 known ones only known by CGA, or would they be taking into account all the other known companies that grade currency? |

The coin market has been doing that stuff for years. Who can really tell the difference between an MS67 and an MS68? A fool and his money..... |

I suppose if you collect as an investment, which is a *very* dumb thing to do, a 68 would be better than a 67, but first you have to find someone as dumb as you to buy it again.... For me, personally, XF is the most I need. I don't collect for rare pieces, for money, or anything, just to have something that isn't available now....and an XF example of something is good enough for me.....I just like the designs of old.......currency & coins. |
