So I was browsing ebay and discovered a seller doing something that made me physically cringe. He's got a 1862 Virginia obsolete note, cut it into pieces and is now selling these cut pieces individually? How could someone butcher it like that?  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tiny-piece-...em35c8378a1eEdited by Ark

He's actually selling a print of the entire original note, with a tiny piece of the note attached. Still a rip off!

Its sad that this kind of thing is profitable. Destroying our history.

It really is sad, the worst part is that their ebay pages says that they specialise in selling cut pieces of historical items, so they've done this before and will most likely continue doing so. |

TRUE fractional currency or more like pieces of eight? Or is this a Trade dollar with chop marks? Weird, but what sells is what people list. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

He got Elvis' hair, part of the Hindenberg, Ty Cobb's bat pieces, John Lennon's shirt pieces, all kinds of stuff.
Someome's gotta be buying it.

i'd have to agree with Jake, sounds like a great way to sell a fake note. A piece of Ty Cobb's bat? How could one ever prove this one way or another. Sounds like hogwash to me.
