    This is pretty much the last of my "big" errors folks and figured I'd share it on New Year's Eve.
    I paid $50 for it.

    The cashier at the corner gas station showed this to me several years ago and asked me if I could believe it was real.
    I replied I did and asked what she intended to do with it. She was going to drop it in the safe!

    Believe me I RUSHED home for $50 to get rid of the silly looking bil.


    This is my last error on CoinTalk for the year. Rest assured I plan on making many more what with typing and the occasional very umpopular opinion. :D

    I've really enjoyed my first year.

    Have a safe and Happy New Year!

    Bottom reverse, under "olla" of "dollars," is that an artifact of the scan or is that ink from the front oval around Grant?

    (Great pick up for face, btw. Lucky stiff.)


    Quoth: "and the occasional very umpopular opinion."
    What umpopular opinion?

    Cheers.

    It's from the oval around Grant's head.

    As for what upopular opinion it's not like I plan them. ;)
    They just happen from time to time as I do voice my opinion and not everyone agrees here. That's half the fun to me sharing opinions that differ.

    That's funny - It was the second thing I noticed after the error :). You have me looking for a B on every note I look at now - Oh god - I've been brain washed :D...

    Great note!!! Keep the controversy coming!!! It makes people use there heads before they respond - nothing like good thought provoking conversation!!!
