I've often won "2nd fiddle" the less desirable notes for quite cheap (rather than the scarcer feature/tough every collectors chasing).  When it comes to being a gap-filler, why not? It was what appeared as "Central Collections" last true auction on Ebay (so no buyer's premium) & I caught this smaller One Yuan with the lady farmer for the price of an ungraded one (it is a PMG 66 but I have cropped the holder off):[ATTACH=full]1652336[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652337[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
