<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2318200, member: 24274&quot;]You never know what may pop up unannounced in an auction. I was perusing an online catalog last week for a non-numismatic auction. Toward the end was a small number of currency lots, including a few nationals. All pretty common, nothing uncirculated. Then there was this $5 1902 series from Republic National Bank of Dallas -- a common bank, not noted in the catalog as anything out of the ordinary.</p><p><br /></p><p>But then I did a double take. There were two sets of signatures! I did some asking around and although this was a post-production error by the bank&#039;s printer (not the BEP) it was still considered a significant error. The question was, had anyone else noticed it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately (for me) the answer was yes. The estimate was $200-250, but I dropped out at $950. With the buyer&#039;s premium, the winning bidder picked it up for about $1090 -- and still got a pretty good price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there a lucky forum member out there with anything to add? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]468075[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
