<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1538570, member: 18157&quot;]Thanks! I thought the top one might be a bond of some sort. The 1000 ruble note was interesting to me because it seemed to be pre-Soviet, but with a 1918 date...interesting to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea what 1000 rubles was worth (in dollars) back then?</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first &quot;discovered&quot; eBay in 2005, I would buy anything I thought was interesting. I bought a cancelled check ~$975,000 made out to an individual from a stock brokerage dtd Sept 27, 1929. That guy must be the luckiest guy in the world! </p><p><br /></p><p>I also bought a really fancy invitation from the US Secretary of State addressed to the Ambassador from Persia (Iran) dtd 1926. The invitation was to the opening ceremony banquet for the US Sesquicentennial celebration in Philadelphia...how things have changed!</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to find all sorts of things like that on eBay (for cheap!)...not so much anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
