<p>[QUOTE="Tall Paul, post: 26545563, member: 114635"]I thought long and hard about bidding on this note. I am not a fan of "details" and in fact this is only the third detail piece in my collection. The other two are half dimes, dated 1795 and 1800. Maybe someone with sharper eyes can point out where the tear repair is. My justification was two fold: 1. This note is the first $1 in the legal tender series and 2. As a non-detailed 55 note it would be at least twice as expensive. In spite of the details designation I think it looks pretty darn nice. I have been working a suite of $1 large bills and the legal tender series is very challenging. Anyway, I put in a bid and lo and behold when I looked the next morning I had won it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691711[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691712[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Photo credit: Great Collections[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
