This note should have been, would have been a $7000.00 piece of numismatic perfection.I have always felt that the large red seal Martha was undervalued.  It books no premium over the small red OR the large brown seal.  To me, it is a far more attractive note.  The obverse seems so much more balanced with the large seal than the small.  The reverse has many interesting aspects.  From the very unusual scroll "one" to the left and to the right of the United States Silver Certificate to the light green to all white fade of the interior coloring of the center description of "this certificate'.  Unbumped, this note would demand $5500 to $7000.  With the poor storage bumps, this note cannot be grade any higher than CHOICE AU EPQ.  A great opportunity to own a great note. Bid to own...
