25 rubles 1876, Pick-A25a. Very Fine. This is an intriguing uniface note that was unlisted in the Krause reference, but will be listed in the upcoming edition. The serial number is partially comprised of the date of issue, in this case the year 1876. The edges show some wear with an occasional nick or tear and the note has been folded several times, but the watermarked paper remains crisp and bright. The rarely used gray and purple-brown inks add to the eye appeal of this note from the reign of Czar Alexander II. Also, a possible notation for 25 rubles is in blue on the back and there is also an inconsequential written mark on the face that is noted for accuracy. This Russian rarity brought $3500 in an earlier Ponterio & Associates sale, and we would not be surprised for it to exceed that level tonight. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
