Voshus007 Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 12/09/2012 6:05 pm I found this and am wondering if I'm missing something? I know it's a star note but that price is ridiculous! http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...=77729062403 Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15457 Posts	Posted 12/09/2012 6:22 pm Sellers description states that this is the best know example of a key bill from a rare series. I do not have the knowledge of bills to judge those claims ... the experts will be along shortly to clarify. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 12/09/2012 7:30 pm The 1934 North Africa note is scarce enough but the star is ridiculously rare. This is not the more common 1934A. You also have to understand the seller who is known for hyperbole in his auction descriptions and prices. It is part of his marketing strategy. Report this Post to the Staff

Voshus007 Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 12/09/2012 7:44 pm Ok thank you I didn't even notice it was a 1934 not a 1934-a I looked up the price in "paper money of the United States" and it rodent even give a price it just says unique so I'm guessing that it must be pretty rare Report this Post to the Staff

starbuxinvestor Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 616 Posts	Posted 12/09/2012 10:44 pm The book I have doesn't even have a price it just says unique for a Fr. 2308*. That said if it was really that valuable I would probably be using Lynn Knight or Heritage Auctions instead of ebay. I wonder how you insure something that valuable when shipping.
