mds, these uncut sheets sell at auction for between $150 - $300, so you did quite well. The framing alone would probably run at least $50.

Nice sheet mds. I love uncut Obsolete sheets. This one is behind museum glass.

If you look closely, you'll notice that most of these notes depict coins. The Spanish milled dollar is on the 12.5¢ note, another Spanish coin is on the 6.5¢, the back of a Seated Liberty quarter is on the 25¢, and the half dollar is on 50¢. Would you mind posting close-ups of those last two?

mds308, that must be a 1/2 reale on the 6 1/4 ¢ note.

Very interesting.
I wonder how the sheet of notes is attached to the framing matt - and if the method of doing so renders the reverse side of the notes damaged in some way?

Bought one unframed a couple years ago for around $100. You stole that one!
