om...
I can post a link to a larger pic if anyone else wants to see it.

Thanks again!


From what I've seen here, I'd say it is worth about $440 according to CGC at
a grade of 12-15.

It is quite far from uncirculated. If uncirculated, in a grade of 65 it
would be ~$2300.

I think any of the notes that say Uncirculated on them at this site
http://www.philipdrivercurrency.com/pages/3/ and if you click on the image,
look at them. Those are unirculated. Uncirculated is uncirculated. It is
expected that no matter if the note is made in 1862 or 2003, it would have
the same crispness. I've had a few 2003 $1 uncirculated notes come my way,
as well as some $10s. They are easy to spot as they usually come in
sequential numbered pairs (or more). So, if you ever are paying attention
to your notes, see if you have some sequentials. They're not worth much
now, and I doubt they will be given the amount being produced, but that's
what uncirculated means and it doesnt change to compensate for age, even
though this note is 125+ years old.

Nonetheless, it is is still about $440 good That assumes it is graded
Fine 12 or Fine 15, from CGC, one of the harder graders. I think it costs
$20-$40 to have it graded from a 3rd party. The more respectable the
company you go with, the more money you will get if it is sold. Generally,
buyers like to ensure what they are getting is what they are paying for.
$440 might not seem like too much to some collectors, but for me, thats my
whole coin & currency collection....well....2/3rds anyway. Anyways, if you
try to eBay it uncertified, you can realistically expect somewhere around
$100 maybe more, well, you can follow the trends yourself.
