wth? first sentence in his description AND A FEW SENTENCES LATER LOL! derekg i dont think you can lose on this one.
1929 $20 Mellon National Bank Of Pittsburgh Pennsylania.
RETURNS: A full refunded will be given only if the item is incorrectly listed.

 

LOL! Really, how can you go wrong?

 

Can only be returned if improperly listed, i guess that means no....LOL

 

Wow. That's all i have to say. Wow.

 

thats an amazing price,

 

Looking past the error in the listing...

I would say you would be very lucky to find any 1929 national currency note in the $10-15 range (that isn't missing part of the bill).
This particular bill has a value of $35 in the latest Kelly National Currency book in fine condition, this note is much nicer then that and will likely end up higher then that price.
From the picture the bill seems extremely crisp, I don't see many National currency bills like that.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see this note auction for anywhere between $75-$100

 

sold for $92

 

About a year or so ago that same bill was selling for around 32 to 50 dollars. I guess ebay bidding gets into people and they have to have it for any price. Sorry not me.

In that condition? I think this was probably a higher condition bill that you don't see as often.
