I was thinking of buying from this website. I think it looks okay. Do you guys think the price is okay from the condition.
Thank you!

I would recommend that you do a search for completed sales on ebay.... just a quick look and I found on the first page 4 in the same or similar condition under $25..

I think you will find with CA that they charge full trend price (which this is) plus tax plus shipping. ($8.50)
You might be able to get the same bill on ebay cheaper with no tax and less shipping.

Colonial Acres is a reliable dealer who I've bought from several times. However they do charge dealer prices as others have already mentioned. Best to hang out in the Deals and Sales sections of the website.

Colonial Acres do attend several shows, and with cash deals, usually offer pretty good deals to collectors. I have bought lots of coins from them over the years... and they have bought lots of coins from me. I have experienced nothing but consistent professional, polite service with the owner and his staff.

You buy from Colonial Acres if you want to collect (and usually when you can't find a better deal), not when you want to invest and make short term profits.

I have bought from, and sold to, Colonial Acres quite a few times over the years.. I have always been impressed with their professionalism, courtesy and ethics in those transactions....

Likewise, Colonial has always been straight-up and honest on what they offer. Never any problems with them.

Colonial Acres is a reputable dealer I have bought many times from.

But that note is a very ugly looking note. It don't look like VF. I am sure you can get a similar or better one for the price.

At coin shows, I've always been dealt with in a pleasant manner and have been happy with my purchases.
