This one has been professionally restored at the top and bottom edges, but none of the design elements have been touched by the restoration. The colors, particularly the sensitive red and green inks, are amazingly bright, imparting the look of a higher-grade example to this very rare note. Only two of the other known notes grade higher than this piece, with only one uncirculated note known. The only known unc. auctioned in Memphis 2000 for $176,000. We sold this note in May of 2000 for $10,450, a number that should be easily eclipsed tonight.

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.</TR></TBODY></TABLE>
