<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 7657831, member: 8033&quot;]Just thought I&#039;d share a phone call I got from a friend.</p><p><br /></p><p>He said he had an offer on a note he put up for me on ebay. I told him to accept.</p><p>The offer was $150. He had it listed at $184.99.</p><p>I had a grand total of $1 invested into that $1 Federal Reserve Note.</p><p><br /></p><p>I pulled this particular note out of circulation in my truck stop days some 20+ years ago. I haven&#039;t listed on ebay in years. When they made Paypal mandatory I said enough. So he lists the occasional piece for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>At one point I had thousands of these particular notes. Seriously, a few thousand. An obscure error that was rather hot for a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>What was it? A 1995 295 engraving error. Paper enthusiasts may remember them. There were actually over 300 combinations of blocks, runs and face plates.</p><p>The one just sold was an L-X block, run 3 347 face plate. Very scarce combination. Only 2 known.</p><p>That was one of them. Average circulated. I pulled it out of my cash drawer for a buck back when I worked in a truck stop. </p><p><br /></p><p>He&#039;s had it listed for a while. I told him to take what he needed and I&#039;ll take the rest. Knowing him he&#039;ll just take the fees. I don&#039;t care - he can take half if he wants.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes I still look at all of my change and all of my paper. Sometimes it can really pay off and I have found some very nice paper money errors over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still have quite a few scarcer 295 errors that I&#039;m doing nothing with. A few are on ebay as I type this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said. A good day and I hope it only gets better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
