Cool Rob,i think the fact that the last recorded sale was 3 years ago gives an idea of just how rare the FDK note is.

I would suggest that it is a very solid indicator.
The catalogues should have this note at 10% below
the "Star" valuations, ie about $450 for this note.

The way this auction is going a lot of Decimal collectors
will be checking if they have one and if not Demand is
going to heavily test the current cat. value.

Appleangel07, you raised the rarity of the FDK prefix, but the letters are FKD (I'm not a banknote collector so how do the FDK and FKD prefixes relate?)

Well picked up
It is obviously a typo by AA and ford.
The correct prefix for the last is FKD
The prefix FDK would just be a normal issue note

It ended at $1795.

Surely that is not an accurate valuation for that grade?

I really don't think that note is worth anymore than about 25% of that final price.

I guess it is a case of the old cliche "a coin or note is worth what a person is prepared to pay for it".

If true then the three bidders in the bidding war didn't want to wait another 3 years for another chance to secure the note. In this case the book value is meaningless when you have three bidders wanting the note badly enough.
