Fr. 1903-C* $1 1969 Federal Reserve Note. Gem Crisp Uncirculated.A beautiful example of this scarce special printing. The following description of this issue comes from the Oakes and Schwartz reference: "After completion of the printing of Series 1969A, 13,000 sheets of Series 1969 without third printing were found. Rather than waste these notes, the Bureau decided to overprint them as star notes. The production schedule called for star notes for Philadelphia, so the 13,000 sheets were assigned to this district. Serial numbers up to 05120000 had already been used for 1969A Philadelphia star notes, so the first serial number set up for this production was 05120001. This special run was not realized by collectors until 15 to 18 months after the notes had been issued, and locating even circulated examples of these high numbered 1969 Philly stars has been very difficult."

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.
