About word for word my opinion.
I always read the 2.5s never circulated really. The only demand for them was annual Christmas gifts. The $5s were the workhorses, as seen on...
I would be careful. The owner of CNG was actually on here and explained how a lot of this you see on auctions is dealer-buyers, where the dealers...
