[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 2259837, member: 41863"]Well guys I spoke too soon it looks like. Someone with deeper pockets than I got the pieces I was after. One was a $50 from the Bank of Commerce at New Bern [ATTACH=full]448597[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448596[/ATTACH] and a counterfeit from 1814 (this bank/branch didnt exist) [ATTACH=full]448599[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448598[/ATTACH] Both are rare pieces and I imagine one buyer picked both of these up for a tidy sum of about $2500 including the juice. The jokes sort of on them though, I was going for a grand slam as I had just won two other rare notes from my hometown that are markedly more rare than at least the above $50 note and I paid less than $500 for the two I ended up with. Both of these came from the Merchants Bank at New Bern [ATTACH=full]448602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448604[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448603[/ATTACH] The only other $3 note that has been spotted from the Merchants Bank is missing a portion on the left [ATTACH=full]448606[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
