Fr. 1339SP 50c Third Issue Spinner Wide Margin
Fr. 1339SP 50c Third Issue Spinner Wide Margin Back About New, Repaired. This note, which we first offered as part of the Hoffman Collection, faces up very nicely. The note has been repaired at the edges by the replacement of a few missing pieces and a few small holes have been fixed, but the overall appearance is that of a complete note with some handling. When the Encyclopedia was printed, only six examples were known to exist of this Type II Spinner back. In the intervening years, that count has slightly more than doubled, but the total known population is still just a bit more than a dozen. Type II Spinner Backs were not included in the Specimen Sets sold at the Treasury and apparently were not prepared for the purpose of distribution, as all known examples lack the bronze "50" surcharge that appears on the regular-issue notes. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> 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. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. 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. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com
