CT Community, I just purchased this note today and believe I paid too much. I looked up a little information on large note blue seals but was more just itching to get my hands on something new. What is this worth? Here is the Ebay link to the note. Thanks and any info would be much appreciated. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=190808431951&view=all&tid=793013142009
Here is the same grade note that I bought today. I paid $130 for mine. I believe i paid too high. http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/inventory/248455/inm/Fr.847a-1914-$5-Blue-Seal-PMG-VF30-EPQ-%5BA76524470A%5D/snm/Federal-Reserve-Notes-Large/gnm/Large-Size-Notes/lotid/460489
well based upon the link you posted you might have over paid a little. i would think $10 either way isn't really bad. did the one your bought have the same exact grade with EPQ designation? if not then you did over pay. but if you got yours off of ebay and it was an auction not a BIN then you paid what you thought it was worth.
It was a BIN. Apparently the 2-B's are a little more valuable? Also it had Burke's signature, but lacked Glass signature which are the better ones. I'm a new large note fan so I lack knowledge on these. Knowledge is power
absolutely. there a lots of great books and references out there. this site is also great for info. there isn't as many paper currency collectors but we try to help out as much as possible. i don't have my large sized note books readily available at this moment so i can't give you a book value of the note. hopefully more will chime in. i can say i don't think that you are taking a huge loss on this note. many people go crazy when they first start and blow a large amount of money before they do any research at all.
