Only four notes are known from here, with the Loegler example, also a $10 Brown Back, selling for $11,500 against a pre-sale estimate of $6000-9000. This example, which we sold to Frank Kennedy in our January, 2001 sale, is even nicer than the Loegler note (which we sold as well.) It is a lovely Brown Back which exudes eye appeal, with bright paper and ink and wonderful two color pen signatures. It's cut a bit close at the bottom right, as are all of the notes we've seen from here, but this is the most minor of defects on an example of this quality. <B>Extremely Fine,</B></I> a note fit for the finest of Alabama collections.

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.
