This note is absolutely gorgeous, with a vivid red overprint, bright paper, and bold pen signatures between four margins that are more than adequate to carry the Gem grade. The reverse is simply extraordinary, with the heaviest inking we have ever seen on any note of this type, making the green virtually iridescent and allowing the central vignette of the Baptism of Pocahontas to take on an almost three dimensional appearance. If you are searching for a truly exceptional First Charter $20 for your type set, this is a note you should bring home this evening. <B>Gem Crisp Uncirculated.</B></I> (9,000-12,000 ) </FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" bgColor=#000000 border=0><TBODY><TR> Important notice: 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. 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>
