There are simply no uncirculated pieces known, with a single About New and three Extra Fines at the top of the census. This piece is solid, with none of the repairs and restorations that plague these larger size notes. The ink colors are excellent and the paper is bright, save for the normal circulation soil. The note's very well margined and it has plenty of eye appeal. The last time this note was auctioned, in 1998, it realized over $10,000, a figure that should be handily exceeded this evening.

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>
