Anjohl Pillar of the Community Canada 815 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 02:56 am I just bought this from an ebay seller in france, and I am elated! it's in great shape, despite the missing corner, but I was surprised by it's size. it won't fit in any of my note holders, not even my large-size bill holders; it's too wide. I am just curious as to which holder size I would need, and what you folks think of its condition? Report this Post to the Staff

I am too tired to convert into metric.] Once protected, you can bring it to dealers and ask, "What do you have to fit better?" The graphic of the horses and carriage are a delight to see.

Anjohl Pillar of the Community Canada 815 Posts	Posted 09/28/2012 01:27 am I am not certain of it's authenticity. It cost me $17, and the seller is exclusively a seller of notes on ebay, with 100% feedback of 14000+. I messaged him to ask him what makes him sure of it's authenticity, as aside from the missing corner, it's in very good shape for its age. Report this Post to the Staff
Anjohl Pillar of the Community Canada 815 Posts	Posted 09/28/2012 01:58 am Examined it again tonight after reading the excellent resource provided by wquinn. The signatures are in brown ink, and I am all but positive they are on-note as opposed to printed. That was actually the first thing that jumped out at me, the fact that the signatures were and-signed on the note. I am pretty confident it's legit. I have a second one coming in the mail from the same year that I paid a little less for, that is in far worse condition. At least I will be able to compare them. Report this Post to the Staff
