[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 1932770, member: 2486"]One thing I learned long ago working with Paper Money..is to do your home work. I was hoping to read that you went a few steps beyond gathering local estimates and actually research the note, by finding out when other occurrence's have shown up in Small Size Notes of different Series. Had you done this and discovered the Rarity Factor of "R6" perhaps you would have invested the small $$ amount to have it Graded by PCGS or PMG and then place it at auction in one of the major auction houses like Heritage or Stack's... In Dr. Bart's Book Paper Money Error's, you will find reference to notes found just like this one, occurring on earlier Series, that sold up toward $1000 in Fine! One of the things that really bothers me these days is folk's concern with the almighty dollar! What you had was something very special! Now the other person has this and will again turn another profit when re-selling. Moral of the story is "always know what you have, be steadfast , learn, prepare and then profit! I normally stay out of these situations until it has concluded as this deal has now done. Based on previous history....people always express the obsessive need for profit instead of appreciating the note for what it is and how it originated. Just think how many people had this in their hands and knew nothing of what they had! In better condition the $$$ goes up quickly. As long as you are happy with your gain, you have no reason to regret the sell except for studying what you had a little better! Congrats!! RickieB[/QUOTE]
