Default Large Notes Rock!!!

Up to the recent past I have been primarily a collector of US coins.
Yesterday I received my first large US note, a 1923 $1 Silver certificate.
All I can say is WOW!! A new passion struck up.

I'm in big trouble now; last night I won a "Black Eagle" and a 1917 GW $1.
I may have to look at selling some of the coins in order to afford more
paper.

For those of you who collect both, which has the higher potential for
appreciation in values? Thanks in advance.

Large sized notes have appreciated considerably during the last 15 yrs or
so. I once had a collection of the 1914 series, but sold them to buy coins.
I wish I had them now, they were beautiful notes.

My daughter is the only one with a large size note, the 1917 SC.




Large size US notes have increased in value so much that the average
collector
is often priced out of that market. There are only a few of them in
circulated grade
that I would consider reasonably priced anymore.

The Indian chief, Bison and Educational series of 1896
are probably the most popular and have seen huge price increases in
just the
past few years. Prepare for sticker shock in these areas.
