Looking For Opions On Resent Purchase

I'd would only pay that price if you need to fill a hole really fast. The dates often don't really change the price that much on old goldmarks/papiermarks. If you wait long enough, there's bound to be a 1906 listing with a start price of 99c or so.

The date is quite rare, but the market for these don't seem to be very liquid since some collectors (speaking for myself) just get the cheaper 1910 type and use it as a good-enough filler.

If you're interested, my Krause shows the 1906 note, 7 digit serial as P25. VG 100 VF 200 UNC 400 but old marks rarely reach that price.

The Krause/Pick catalogue prices for circulated notes of this issue are way off the mark. When this note was initially issued, it had a value equivalent to about $5.00, which was a pretty good chunk of change back then,so not many were saved in new condition. They are truly scarce today.
Most of the issue, though, saw wide circulation for many years,up to the inflationary period in the 1920s, when almost all currency lost it's value. By that time most of the 1906 issues were well worn, and that is what is usually available today. Your note in fine or so condition, should be available in the $3-$5 range or less. It is doubtful that even a new one would approach anywhere near the catalogue prices quoted.
