    Hi all,

    I'm raising money to purchase a home this summer, and I'm going to be liquidating some of my high end collectible pieces over the next few months.

    The first of which is my true "one of a kind" treasure from a real life treasure hunt at a Las Vegas auction. I am "asking" a lot on Ebay - simply because it's a true icon of the excess that epitomizes Vegas, and the signor of the note. I paid a good sum for it, and it took a lot of effort to get it. And even more for the certifications and the reverse mounting from PCGS.

    It's a 1934 $1000 Federal Reserve Note (FRN). It is hand signed by Steve Wynn. I bought this sight unseen in a safe deposit box collection. I had it graded, and it's also been authenticated with a real signature from Las Vegas Casino Magnate - Steve Wynn

    I have had SO much interest on this note, it's actually been bought fraudulently about 5 times now on Ebay. Mostly by people that identify with "the other" political party trying to be snarky. Once by a fraudster (and it was caught the day before it shipped). And one that just had to have it, but then could not come up with the promised funds.

    Steve Wynn does not sign autographs, so I'm curious as to how this ever came about. It was in an old safe deposit box with some other casino collectibles (tokens, etc) and the last dated item was 1993 I believe. This is a very rare bird - in deed.

    As you can see, it's PSA and PCGS certified, and comes with the COA. There isn't another like this in the world. This is a true Las Vegas "man cave" trophy.

    I am asking a lot, but it's Christmas - and I will let it go for a good offer.

    As always, I'll accept gold/silver coin in trade, but as stated - I'm saving for a house, so I'd prefer something that is relatively liquid and/or melt value.
