I'd be interested in how PCGS determined it is a Proof planchet.
Who did the grading?
Thanks for your reply. If I read it correctly your valuation is for the F/P bill. I assume the 1867-1967 bill is worth some small amount ($5)?
I have limited resources for non-US currency (can you spell "krause") They appear to be 1954 design but are special issues for 1867-1967. I assume...
It appears to be a hole-filler at best.

I look at a PO-01 set as a fragile market. Someone who invested in them will NEVER recover their investment when interest in them is lost. And IMO...
Years ago (about 1960) when I was starting out at UMd I was taking G&P (required course otherwise I wouldn't have taken it). It was one of those...

Annandale is a very good mid-size show (80-90 tables). A nice range of dealers from inexpensive to pricey. One of the top small cent dealers in...
