The ONLY sheets that exist (currently 3 known valued around $50,000 each) were provided as samples and were low serial numbers. The note offered today is UNIQUE, one-of-a-kind. For your consideration is the bottom note from a sheet with the sheet number 13066 shown below the note. The note was hand-torn from the sheet as evidenced from the top edge. It has a few very light creases. Based on the high serial number on this note (early numbered sheets were used as samples), my guess is that an employee at the BEP in haste, tore this note from the sheet, folded it up, and walked out with it -- but I could be wrong. Note specifics:1899 Black Eagle silver certificate, FR-226A (date below), Lyons-Roberts signatures, serial #A2482826, technical grade of XF/AU (looks unc).  Comes in protective hard Capitol Plastics holder.  Est value $5K and up.

Grading With over 20 years of experience, we use the ANA standards for coin grading. Grading for the most part is technical and not subjective!  A circulated coin will have a certain amount of wear (not to be confused with strike) to meet a certain grade.  Mint State coins vary based on strike, contact marks, and "eye appeal" (the only subjective part).  Problem coins result in "net grading".  If we feel a "slabbed" coin is not properly graded, we will notate that in the description. On a couple of occasions, we have sent the same coin to the same grading service and got it back with a grading difference of 2-3 MS points!
