Series 001 Number 83 Aug 10, 2000

Another exciting day. I am exhausted. I did not do much business throughout the day, but talked to a lot of people and saw some wonderful things. I hope that I can remember half of the things to relate in the next few weeks/days.
I received my BEP submarine souvenir card. They are nicer than I expected. I will buy a quantity of the "regular ones" that you can buy at the issue price of $5 plus post. Just let me know if you want one/some. You can also wait till you want to buy something else and save the postage because these "regulars" will not run out soon. Like I said, the hand-pulled items are nicer than I expected too, and I am happy to have one (of the 100 made). If you want one of these, order them now and you can have one of them for $175. Probably will ask $200 if they make it home from the show.
I bought a very minor MPC error today. It was so minor that I considered not buying it, but it does have several important aspects.
The note is a Series 541 $1 with the serial number of the next note transferred (in part) to the back. These are nice errors if you can make out the next number in the last digit. This proves that it is a transfer instead of a "soak through." In this case, it is questionable if it is possible to make out the next number. However, otherwise it is fairly clear so I bought it.
This is an example of how important it is too look at the back of notes. Too often there is something significant that we miss by just not looking! Notice the backs.
Here is a tip that has not yet been published. Series 541 is particularly prone to errors! Give them special attention when you see them.
Man, chat was terrible Wed night. No, that is not exactly correct, MPCKid and I had a nice chat, but did not see anyone else so I was disapointed. It is not likely that I will be on chat till midnight Thursday, sorry. If I am just too tired, I will not even log on.
Some of you will appreciate this story about Judy the condo inspector and cat lover. We had dinner tonight in a nice place in the center of China town (right next to the hotel). She probably was not surprised to see the lobsters in the tank inside the door. However, she was decidedly unhappy with the turtles, frogs, snails, and other "pets" that were also in tanks! Still, she was not willing to go vegiterraian for even this one meal!
Have a great day!

Calendar
In this section we will highlight MPC chat, MPC Fest, and MPC gram events. Other events will be mentioned as they get close. For planning purposes see the papermoneyworld.com calendar of events.
The next major show is the American Numismatic Association Convention (August 9-13). This year the convention will be in Philadelphia. 25 years ago the ANA convention was one of the major events for paper money. Now with the development of so many successful paper money shows (and of course the MPC Fest), its importance has diminished, but it is still an important show. Because it is such a big and important show, you cannot help but find some good paper there. Marv Mericle's great MPC collection will NOT be on display as promissed because of family and administration problems. We are certainly sorry to hear about that, but hope that all goes well with Marv and that we will see the exhibit again soon.
I will be there the entire time and will be pleased to chat MPC with you!

Beautiful Konversionskasse notes for sale. These are the notes used as part of the Nazi plan to get control of their foreign exchange problems. These are listed in Pick, but if you want to really learn something about them, see 484 of the bible (World War II Remembered). I have a pair of the 5 mark notes for only $100. If you want one or the other they are $60. These are S/B 201 and 211. They are exceptionally nice uncirculated examples. You will like them. Please note also that I am studying the series letters indicated on these notes and having some good results. Please email me with the particulars of any notes that you have. Also email me to reserve the above notes and for other particulars: mpckid@papermoneyworld.com. Thanks.
