It's a different size than any other Continental with a wholly different layout, as well as being printed on a whiter, weaker paper. It also features a multi-colored left end as an anti-counterfeiting device. The paper for the notes was furnished by Benjamin Franklin. This note is difficult to grade as it has the look of a perfect XF but it has considerable well-done restorations. Rounded corners at the left have been squared off and the marbling has had about 1/8 inch added. At the right edge a 1/2 by 1 inch piece has been replaced, apparently with parts of a matching note. The overall effect is excellent and the note appears perfect unless examined with great care. The fairest overall net grade is <B>Very Fine.</B></I> (1,750--up) </FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" bgColor=#000000 border=0><TBODY><TR> 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.
