[QUOTE="MEC2, post: 1468079, member: 38692"]Not a bad pickup - thing to remember about eBay auctions, if you win one, someone else thought the note was worth just about the same amount too... In this case, you could have gotten a Fine-15 example for about the same price as this flawed 40. The F15 would have more wear and less paper body, but would be completely intact. So you need to ask yourself which is the larger distraction for you, more folds and paper toning, or the missing pieces. Personally, I would rather have a F15 on this note than substantial missing pieces. It's one of the top note gets in US currency, along with the Buffalo and Educationals. The top left missing piece to me doesn't impact the notes face up value, but the hit under the vignette is a bigger distraction than I would like. Question is - does it look good to YOU - and if so, you really didn't overpay much for it, someone else would have payed $5 less than you did for it...[/QUOTE]
