Fr. 18 $1 1869 Legal Tender Mismatched Serial
Fr. 18 $1 1869 Legal Tender Mismatched Serial Numbers Very Fine. An incredible new discovery bringing the total of large size notes with mismatched serial numbers to just eleven pieces, with this being the only known example of any Rainbow Series note in that group. This is a two digit mismatch, with the serial on the left reading Z9203467 and the serial on the right reading Z9203471. It is one of only four large size notes known of any kind with two or more digits mismatched. This specimen was recently discovered in the possession of an upstate New York collector, who has had it in his collection for over three decades, but never sought to publicize his long ago discovery. While price comparisons are obviously inexact for a note of this rarity, the only large size National with a mismatched serial number realized well over $30,000 when auctioned several years ago. In a stronger and more sophisticated market for truly rare items, expect this attractive and unique Rainbow Ace to likely surpass that record. <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
