Subject: PAPER MONEY: Getting Rid of Duplicates
Date: Fri, 25 Dec 92 07:47:07 PST
Organization: The Portal System (TM)
Distribution: world

I have accumulated a lot of duplicates
in my paper money collection. I'm in-
terested in getting rid of them so I'm
holding a "sort-of-auction":
Since I am more interested in building
up my collection than in making lots of
money out of it, anyone offering a
foreign banknote in trade can count
it as 10% over Pick value as a bid on
whatever you want in exchange. If I
don't have it already, I will rate it
at 50% over Pick, but since you don't
know what I already have I can only
guarantee I'll count it at 10% over.
In other words, for a note rated at
$5, I will count it as $5.50 if I al-
ready have it and as $7.50 if I don't.
I am attempting to grade the notes I
offer accurately, but since some deal-
ers offer as AU notes I'd swear were
uncirculated, you can take my Unc's as
AU/Unc if you are really picky. For
lower grades I am trying to conform to
the descriptions in Pick.
All bids/trading offers must be sent
by postal mail, not E-mail, so I can
evaluate them comparatively. I do not
want to have to print them out myself
to look at hard copy. Therefore, bids
and offers that are E-mailed will be
ignored.
Send all bids/offers to Bruce R.
Gilson, 8304 16th St., Apt. 108,
Silver Spring, Md. 20910.

duplicate bin that I am offering.
