Yea me too. My dad at one time had at least 1 of each $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, and $500 Red seal note, Blue seal note, Silver certificate,and Gold Certificate. Some of them he had multiple. He also had a 3 $1,000 notes, but I am not sure which ones. All of the bills were in excellent condition. All of them he got at face value by going to old banks throughout the country in very rural areas. He would go in when they were not busy and speak with the manager. Then he would exchange a couple of thousand dollars for specific items he was looking for. He would ask them to go to the back of the vault and only give him the oldest items. Most of the old banks do not cycle money. He also had at least 1 bill of each denomination of Confederate money.
