<p>[QUOTE="SteveInTampa, post: 1294462, member: 27107"]I've been searching for a "Gilbert" note for over 4 years. A member displayed this note in a thread on a different currency forum asking for value. I researched the Heritage archives, and only once has a Gilbert note come up for auction. <a href="http://currency.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=32031&lotIdNo=1122" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://currency.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=32031&lotIdNo=1122" rel="nofollow">http://currency.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=32031&lotIdNo=1122</a> Some collectors refer to it as a test note, but technically it was not test paper. The Gilbert Paper Company submitted similar paper in the amount of 20,000 sheets for 640,000 notes, but was unable to supply the BEP as an alternative supplier because of their higher prices. There wasn't much fanfare while this was happening, so I'm guessing not to many collectors at the time knew to look for these. They were distributed like any other currency at the time, lived their life cycle, and eventually disappeared.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
