NOT MY AUCTION - just curious, I don't see anything special about this run or series... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-Head-...078?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cfc30bd26
The saying "there's a sucker born every minute" is always attributed to PT Barnum. Whether he said it or not is unknown.
There's a sucker born every minute! I'm just kidding. Maybe someone's birth year and in nice shape they may consider it worth the premium. I've gotten 1 from circ. but in worse shape. It's worth whatever someone pays for it I guess.
I could see bidding on it, if it were in choice + nicely centered + free shipping. I'm a sucker for dem small portrait $20's...
EF book values at $25 and ChCU book at $48 for the Series 1981A Ortega|Reagan $20 notes. For those on a budget, lower grade notes like this can be a place holder for building a collection. The shipping is too high for the note, but what's new on eBay. The seller is going to loose plenty of the final bid in fees around 14% too.
Amazing... Wikipedia actually has an article dedicated to this phrase: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There's_a_sucker_born_every_minute
My only thought is that the winning bidder just happens to have a matching serial # from another denomination of that year or somehow has the serial # on either side of the one listed lol
