[QUOTE="SteveInTampa, post: 2652716, member: 27107"]My advise would be to be patient. There are plenty of $500's out there. Years ago, I was in the same boat looking for a mid-grade example. I searched for months looking for a problem free note with good eye appeal and original paper. As I looked, I also saved and my budget increased. It's hard to find many VF or XF examples with EPQ or PPQ so I ended buying an AU example for what I thought was a good price. I paid $1,200 and later went looking for a $1,000 note.

Many of the photographs are enhanced. Buy the note, not the holder. A $500 note gets a lot of ooh's and aah's from civilians when you show it to them, and the question you get the most is, "Is this real ?"[/QUOTE]
