Owner's Description

This is a pretty rare note, and does not come up for auction very often. It can be very expensive in higher grades. This note sold at Heritage in January 2013, and then turned up for sale on eBay in April 2013 at a 25% premium. No bids and several re-listings prompted the seller to reduce the price three or four times. By the time I bought it, I got it for a $700 discount from the January Heritage sale price, or about 20% less. It is not a net note, but has mention of closed pinholes on the holder. For the right price, I don't mind taking a net grade or a notation of a problem.

This note design is similar to the note ranked number 70 in the book 100 Greatest American Currency Notes. The signature of Spinner is a real work of art in itself.

Another milestone reached - the addition of this note put me over the 100,000 point mark in the PMG Registry.
