    I see so many eBay auctions where the seller calls a coin (or in this case, a banknote) an "error" when it is no such thing... such as the so-called upside-down edge letter on president dollars, random location of a mintmark, post-mint damage, a perfectly normal aspect of the coin, etc... The normal response when someone points out that it is not in fact, an error, is either to ignore the person or angrily insist that it is.

    Then I see this:

    1935 Silver Certificate

    Someone pointed out that the location of the date is not in fact an error (On Series 1935 silver certificates the date was intentionally placed to the left of the seal... it was moved to the right on Series 1935A and all subsequent issues). The person admitted that he was mistaken about it being an error, and corrected the auction listing!

    Breath of fresh air, isn't it? Why do so many sellers find this so hard to do?

    nice: "The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing."

    And he seems pretty honest in his listings, look at the $5 Indina chief, he notes that it was trimmed.

    That's such a nice note you almost wouldn't mind that too much... especially if it puts it within the realm of affordibility it otherwise wouldn't be.
