[@BanknoteDen]

Great video - quite enjoyed the interview with Mr. Huff.

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks BanknoteDen! He will be back!

[@robintraina217]

Always enjoying discussions on numismatics and paper currency, Thanks guys

[@PolarCurrency]

As Ontario 100 would say "thanks for stopping by". They are fun and there's not enough paper currency conversation out there.

[@roostercogburn1984]

Thanks guys

[@PolarCurrency]

Thank you for watching and the comment!

[@bettyfeliciano7322]

Wow!!!! What an amazing discussion with Dennis!? I’m just amazed at all of the things he has collected over the years & I’m happy for him. Thanks to all of you gentlemen of the round table for sharing your experiences and asking Dennis questions on our behalf. What a great group of wise collectors who all have a great sense of humor!! Thank you gentlemen for all that you do!! Blessings always to each of you!! ❤️😊✝️

[@PolarCurrency]

Thank you Betty for the support. Dennis is an amazing individual and we were very blessed to have him with us.

Great discussion with Dennis. Being a Dallas collector, loved seeing those rare Dallas notes from his collection. Just amazing that 1914 error $20 and red seal 1914 $100. My problem I encounter is buying a note that I somewhat want, then a note I would of rather had shows up an hour later. If I just would have waited a few hours. This seems to happen often. Love the show guys. About the stupid errors trying to be sold on Ebay, the one that ticks me off the most are the miss cut $2's. It is easy for someone to buy an uncut sheet and create plenty of these purposely miss cutting them.

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks for the great comments - Big "D" and he had some great ones! I think I have the same purchasing issue that you do. (Or is that an opportunity?) And Stu does a great job of going after the scammers - ran into a guy at a small show selling them, twos, as "high denominations". I let him know that I may drive a turnip truck but I did not just fall of it.

[@EmanuelsWorkbench]

What a great first guest! Dennis had great stories of the "good old days" and also gave some great tips, too!

[@PolarCurrency]

Thank you sir! Really cool to hear him tell his story.

[@RobertoGonzalez-rz1gx]

New collector here. Thanks for all the wisdom gentlemen

[@PolarCurrency]

Welcome! Appreciate the view and the comment.

[@jeffshaw4039]

Dennis has some great notes with a lot of history. Great interview.

[@PolarCurrency]

Seriously unbelievable the variety and breadth of his collection and note one graded note.

[@billhetland8070]

Hi Dan, and the crew, Great round table. Dennis was an awesome guest with so much knowledge in collecting currency at such a young age. And what a great time to start in 1969. I was only 11 then. He sure had some beautiful currency notes throughout the years. Just a couple of things from the round table I like to mention. 1st I been subscribing to Coin World Magazine the last few years. They always have a chapter about currency. And I just subscribed to the Bank Note Reporter last year. And that is a must magazine to have when you are checking prices on all currency notes when you are ready to buy. Thanks again all and especially Dennis for all you do for the hobby of collecting currency notes. Wish I started a lot earlier. Hope to see Dennis soon again on the round table. Take care and God Bless!🙏 Bill

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks Bill for the update. Have to give Coin World credit for the one chapter (no sarcasm). That's so much more than the ANA does for paper currency collectors. You will see Dennis again.

[@billhetland8070]

@@PolarCurrency You’re welcome and looking forward to seeing Dennis in the future on your round tables. Bill 😎👍

[@TengriWorldwideCollectib-rj2fm]

Another amazing video you all put together! So happy I watched this!! Great guest Dennis!! Nice to hear his collecting story!!!

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks Roman & Nikolai. You have not heard the last of Dennis on the Roundtable.

[@TengriWorldwideCollectib-rj2fm]

@@PolarCurrencyThat is really great!!!

[@scottculiver7584]

wow what a great video. I love Dennis's insight. So many of those notes you shared in videos are very rare and a collectors dream.

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks for the comment! And we only just got started with Dennis.

[@jeffdavis9687]

This was a great stream. I am learning so much from these videos. Thank you for taking the time to do these. Please continue, your hard work is very much appreciated.

[@PolarCurrency]

Appreciate the kind words and support. As long as we have something to talk about they will keep coming - and there's me and Stu so I don't think there's too much to worry about!

[@junksilverman]

This was great! Such an interesting and kind person. Also loved seeing the notes that are or were in his collection.

[@PolarCurrency]

He really is that kind and yes AMAZING notes and that just scratched the surface - although he never got into Obsoletes so Dennis is not perfect!

[@4Kollector]

Another homerun 😀 fun from start to end!

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks 4Kollector - Dennis is unbelievable. A privilege to be able to even talk to him!

[@4Kollector]

@@PolarCurrency indeed…learn from the past and pass on the knowledge to the future. 👍

[@silversurfer1986]

Very nice interview! Good ole fashion collector right there. You imagine hunting back in the when he started! I bet there were all kinds of goodies! Hope to join you all sometime! Be well bud!

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks Surfer! We definitely ARE having you on!

[@markjohnson9445]

Enjoyable video. I started collecting coins in the late. 1950s , didn't know about currency. Started currency a little in the 1980s and big time note collecting 4 years ago.

[@PolarCurrency]

Mark - never knew you converted from the round side! Appreciate the support as always.

[@massabesicgoldandsilver]

Great interview and fantastic collection! Thank you all for doing these round tables and thank you Dennis for sharing your knowledge and collection.

[@PolarCurrency]

Isn't Dennis awesome! He's almost as good as his collection! Well, OK...that might be saying too much. But such a great time having him on. He'll be back.

[@GinaR]

Dennis was a fantastic choice as a first guest. I really enjoyed hearing about his background and collection. Thank you, gentlemen, for another great roundtable video.

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks Gina! It was great to have Dennis and Stu got to talk strap searching! (Was very happy for them both.)

[@Jfix694]

Loved this video, and all the knowledge you gentlemen so willingly share with us. Thank you!

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks for stopping by and glad you enjoyed it!

[@gunnysquarterdeck8550]

WOW what an amazing round table. Dennis defininitely put a smile on my face. Great history lesson and even more information for that currency hunt we all love to do.

[@PolarCurrency]

Thanks Gunny and Dennis is just a gem. Scary smart and not just about currency!

[@david_1214]

Great video. Loved the imterview with Dennis. What a great living history!

[@PolarCurrency]

He is a walking encyclopedia - amazing person, amazing collection.

[@AdamVelie]

As someone who knows Dennis personally, I can attest to the fact he is as kind, smart, and intelligent as he is accomplished as a collector....a true gentleman. Thank you so much for letting us hear from him. Amazing!

[@PolarCurrency]

That is great to hear. I sincerely hope he is reading this. You are correct on all counts - and it didn't take me long to realize all of that. It was our distinct honor.

[@dennishuff4838]

I am deeply humbled by such kind words. The honor was all mine. Dennis

What a fantastic video. Dennis was amazing. I love listening to stories from people and learning about their history, what got them started, etc. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

[@PolarCurrency]

Seriously Dennis is one of the best people I have met through collecting - thanks for the support!

[@bw8349]

the judges give this episode, 9.9/10, The russian judge is the usual suspect. Great show.

[@PolarCurrency]

Thank you and I'll take the Russian score for that - we're just trying to figure S*%! out!

[@Ontario100]

Happy to be a part of this group. Learned so much. Dennis is awesome!

[@PolarCurrency]

He really is - how lucky were we?!

[@shawnangie1]

Speaking of Ontario's question about how paper money manages to survive for over 100 years, I had the thought that in the late 19th century / early 20th - especially in rural parts of our still-developing country - many people who had the opportunity to even see a paper bill might have held onto it as a novelty and placed it in a drawer or in a Bible or storage chest. People still did a lot of bartering and payment in kind rather than payment in cash.

[@PolarCurrency]

Great theory - and have to agree. There certainly has been thousands of notes found in the family Bible or a random book. You keep your cash trade you goods if you could. Thanks for the insight!

[@Ontario100]

Very True. Thanks!

[@markjohnson9445]

true

[@alanhykes8777]

Thanks Everyone! That was one very entertaining hour.

[@PolarCurrency]

Appreciate that and appreciate you stopping by.

[@collectingonthecheap56353]

That was a fun episode with Dennis. Definitely agree with his perspective on the hunt can be the best part, and sometimes just having a note is more important than condition (if one really just wants to have the note). I also have managed to pull some Minneapolis notes from circulation with suffix letters above B, with I being the highest Minneapolis suffix I have found so far, although the vast majority are A suffix. Knew about how they didn't really use number grades back then, as it was the same with coins except the highest for coins replaced crisp with brilliant.

[@PolarCurrency]

Crisp! This may be me - but his scale is how I like my bacon! And yes to the Mpls. suffix letter - I have an Mpls.1995 H that also as a wet ink transfer on it. I got for the H! But an I - how cool is that! An I-I note! That can not be very common at all. Get the note for what you can afford. Grade be damned.

[@collectingonthecheap56353]

I rewatched Stu's video about the $1 Hawaii Overprint, and in his search results, he happened to produce an IJ note. But, definitely, I am all about going with the notes in affordable condition, including one that is on its way to my mailbox soon.

[@maakjar]

Wow @StuplubakCurrency has a face 😮🙃

[@PolarCurrency]

Yes, yes he does!
