<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 806202, member: 6986&quot;]The Canton Ohio 1907 scrip is one of the most common types of the 1907 Panic Scrip (not script).&nbsp; I have seen several over the years and all have been unissued remainders.</p><p><br /></p><p>One reason for the difference in price is the 2004 sale was in a Heritage weekly internet auction.&nbsp; The 2005 sale was at FUN.&nbsp; The weekly sales do not get as much attention.</p><p><br /></p><p>While the 1907 scrip is generally scarcer than the 1933 Depression Scrip,&nbsp; $400.00+ is way too much for this note.&nbsp; That having been said, all it takes is two people who have never seen this type of note before and who want it really badly to drive the price up.&nbsp; This must have been what happened at the FUN auction.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly, I have seen this same pattern repeated with more esoteric items like this.&nbsp; In the FUN auction this year, Heritage sold a sheet of 10 US Government Printing Office refund coupons for $230.00.&nbsp; While I have never seen them in a regular auction before, I have picked up many of them off Ebay over the years for a couple dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the auction for the GPO coupons:&nbsp; <a href="http://currency.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=3508&amp;Lot_No=13642&amp;src=pr" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://currency.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=3508&amp;Lot_No=13642&amp;src=pr" rel="nofollow">http://currency.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=3508&amp;Lot_No=13642&amp;src=pr</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A book on the scrip from the Panic of 1893 and the Panic of 1907 is expected later this year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
