MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 11:10 pm to the Community I would say it is worth something--how much I can't say. I was able to find one of these notes that sold in 2006 at Heritage it was in better shape, and the description said, "a very scarce denomination from any issuer" on a different lot Heritage said, "a rare issuer in any denomination". I know of several reference books that likely discuss this note and its potential value but don't have them in my personal library. Maybe a member here will have a copy of one of these books and be able to chime in. Welcome again and my apologies for the lengthiness of this reply. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

This piece is from Rutland College in Vermont as you can see by the title. There is a specialized catalog of college currency. I can look it up when I get home to tell you what the book says about this piece. Report this Post to the Staff
