<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 588528, member: 8247&quot;]I picked up a $500 note at the Chicago Paper Money Expo last year for less than $700 from a guy sitting in the back who had a bunch of miscelaneous stuff in lower condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would place the note in G to VG condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like the OP, I had an itch to own one, but not a lot of money to invest in one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I reasoned that since I wasn&#039;t buying an example that was likely to appreciate in value, I might as well get one for as close to face as possible.&nbsp; It was clean enough to appreciate, and while I would be lucky to get a 10% premium if I ever sold it, I know the limit on my exposure was less than $200.</p><p><br /></p><p>OP, you will not find what you are looking for advertised.&nbsp; It will be in the bargain pile.&nbsp; When you do find it, make an offer for less than it&#039;s priced.&nbsp; Notes like this in lower conditions don&#039;t move very fast for the same reasons that they won&#039;t appreciate in value, so you might get lucky.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
