Has HA assigned a lot number to it? I can't find the note in their auction listings.

Not yet, but I recently received notice that it was graded choice about new (55) with PPQ.

Will update when I hear back from them.

AU55 with a PPQ designation is pretty good. Just from the "look" I think I said 58 to 62, so I wasn't too far off!

Thanks for the updates.

I meant to ask how the PCGC compares to other grading scales. So you're saying that the grade this bill received is comparable to AU for other grading companies?

AU and a PPQ -- super! AU55 seems very accurate for this note judging by your description of the light fold and light handling.

PCGS description for AU55: "A note in this grade will appear New at first glance, but will have a bent corner or light vertical center fold that will keep it from an uncirculated grade. Two light vertical bends are acceptable for this grade, as long as the surface of the paper is not broken. More than one light fold or a heavy fold or crease will drop the note into a lower grade."

PMG description for AU55: "Two light vertical folds or a single fold with handling, but a nice original note."

Edit to add: Please keep us updated on how this note does at auction!

Nice! Hasn't even opened for bidding yet and has plenty of page views. It should do well.

Any idea where the number one note happens to be? If the Treasury has it, then your note would be the lowest serial numbered note from this series/signature combination available. People bid stupid money for that kinda stuff.

Thanks for bringing it here first! I hope we helped you! Good luck!

NICE!
Since HA (normally) takes consignments with a minimum of $5k. I presume the reserve is $5k or more. I figure this will sell for over $10k.

I like it.

Congrats on the sale! http://currency.ha.com/itm/silver-c...3533-20501.s

Went for less than I was expecting, but $7,000 is still a large sum of money!

Thanks. Less than we were expecting too, but not a bad chunk of change in the end.

Pretty disappointing watching the auction live only to see it get no bids.

Someone got a good deal on it, but still a nice sale.

Thanks for posting. Perhaps you can be a regular member of our little community.

It'll be interesting to see where it shows up next and what the asking price will be.

I'm guessing it'll show up on a fixed price list in a couple of months and the asking price will be around 15K$. If it doesn't sell, then it'll show up at auction again.

I have a hunch it will show up in 6 months or so in a holder with a higher grade.

If it shows up in a new holder it'll be in a PMG slab. I doubt if PCGS would regrade it higher --- No matter what doctoring it gets to make it look better!
