In the final analysis all paper monies intrinsic value, will revert to the value of the paper its written on. I hope they paid in gold coin for it. :devil:

 

I find it funny that Voltaire was featured on this note: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_francs_Voltaire

 

I wouldn't buy it at all..

 

id take the 10k and buy a house..

 

It looks very circulated.

 

Condition isn't much of an issue when this is pretty tough bank note to find and a serial #1 to boot.

 

That's probably a nice trophy in someone's Strait Settlements collection. Interesting that the seller doesn't mention the serial #1 - or did I miss it?

 

I don't think the seller really knew what they had other than what they could read on the note: Date, Country, Denomination

 

Good return on $1Buck
