Message:: [QUOTE="SteveInTampa, post: 1659171, member: 27107"]My newest comes from a friend of a friend at work.The executive assistant to the General Manager asked if I would stop by her office to evaluate a note her friend had inherited from her father. I told them the note was in fine to very fine condition. They then asked what do you think it is worth. I said, it depends on whether it's a FR.16, FR.16a, FR.17, or FR.17a. I sent a scan to a friend, John Spinelli, (owner CGA) and he determined it was a FR.16. The owner of the note said she was offered a thousand dollars for the note, and I told her to jump on that with both feet. She called me 3 days later and said the offer had been withdrawn, and asked if I would like to purchase the note. I offered $225 and she said OK........so here it is. <img src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/mbwizkid/scan0003-31_zpsfc2f4e8e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/mbwizkid/scan0004-33_zps3d500863.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> I wasn't looking for one of these, so I didn't offer as much as she might have realized at auction.......and was surprised a little when she said OK.[/QUOTE]
