    I bought myself this Birthday present back in 1998 for $175.00 I was a lil' ashamed at paying such a "high price", guess it wasn't such a bad thing after all.

    Hey @Southernman189 ? What do you figure it grades at ? Antiquemoney.com says $100 to $300 in fine to VF .Sound like that's correct ?

    yes taking a "GUESS" I'd say VF was a fair grade. I got a few of these but this is the better one. the $300.00 put a grin on my face but I have a feeling someone here will erase that grin lol

    Not the prettiest of notes. Just a big Abe Lincoln/Benjamin Franklin fan.

    I don't think I'd be able to give you a clear answer @Southernman189. However, I'd probably choose the Original (1865) and Series of 1875 National Bank Notes.
