<p>[QUOTE="mike98024, post: 300214, member: 10019"]Several years ago, I wanted to buy a large sized bill so I went to my favorite coin shop and bought a 1917 $1 bill labeled as CU. It is a gorgeous note! Later, I decided to trade it for coins and went to a large coin show where I showed it to a currency dealer who scoffed at it and offered me less than half of what I paid for it. He said it wasn't CU because it had a bent corner at one time. It is true that you can see where it happened. This guy had a real snake oil bearing and I didn't trust him at all. The original dealer is now out of business and my confidence in the note is not 100%. I want to sell it, but how do I know if I am being honest in my description when I sell it? Before you say it- Yes, I should have learned to grade before I bought it, but this dealer was meticulously honest with me in my coin dealings which amounted to several thousands of dollars, so I trusted him with this. It is my only purchased bill.</p><p> Thanks- Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
