<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goincarcrazy, post: 1050078, member: 25004&quot;]Thanks both of your, first of all, for the compliment on the sheet.&nbsp; I agree that the engraving is beautiful!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree Gsalexan, I would imagine the price WOULD be higher than what it is/was.&nbsp; I assume that is comparable to other sheets at that time in the book (or at least on the pages you have)?&nbsp; I&#039;ve found it rare to find single notes of this issue let alone a sheet, and I&#039;ve only seen the one on heritage that was auctioned back in 2004 (it did not sell.&nbsp; Greedy seller I would assume, especially going in with the idea of &quot;only one around&quot;).&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen things that go for especially low prices despite rarity, but it&#039;s just that the big picture kind of blurs things.&nbsp; It should go to say that the Haxby Catalog is a 4 volume set, therefore there is an abundance of obsolete currency so overall abundance of material is out there with not much specific research done to much it, so the fact may not be realized by collectors, though I&#039;m sure other banks HAVE been investigated, especially in those cities that have had tremendous and colorful histories unlike Brooklyn Michigan.&nbsp; However, it looks like when the National notes came to popularity with collectors, their rarities were delved into with enthusiasm, and I would guess simply because there were less banks issuing than there were during the days of obsolete currency.&nbsp; All of that is just a theory though (with a slight unpinning hope that this sheet could still make me rich, haha).</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I will definitely go bend someone&#039;s ear at the library.&nbsp; Hopefully they&#039;ll find someone who has something.&nbsp; I know there are no good books in our local libraries about coins sadly, though with South Florida having such an active collecting community, I&#039;m sure someone down there would have <i>something</i>! </p><p><br /></p><p>To answer Gsalexan and prolawn_care&#039;s question, I snagged it for $250 after I dickered down from $350.&nbsp; I figured $350 would have been alright if it were in better condition, but seeing as its got a few folds in it I managed to talk him down (it looks like it was folded in quarters at one point but has been flat for a good length of time, and although there are a few crinkles here and there, there&#039;s nothing really bad, and I&#039;d still comfortably call it XF).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
