No, you did the right thing, and it was good showing both..... you really have to. They look so good with the flash I think that will help even considering the real shots show them a bit darker.

I am not sure they are worth a whole lot. I have some sheets of Confederate currency with if I remember correctly some type of coupons at the bottom. I have not dug them out in a while but they are not uncommon.
Still a very cool find and I would think somewhat desirable. Wonder what the dates were on the news papers?

It looks like you have a very valuable piece. The example below is a single bill selling for nearly $100.

If that's the case, I'll give you the last half.

Reserve auctions often tend to be a little flat so even once complete, if it doesn't meet the reserve you assume they are still worth more. When it's done and if you still don't have an offer you're happy with, You jack up the price and list it as a buy it now and accept best offer, and just sit on it until you are offered what you want, or realize it just ain't going to happen at that price. For example the reserve auction only gets to $400, but you wanted $600, you list it for $750 or best offer. That way you still have a chance of coming out with even more than the $600 you're happy with. Fixed price listings are very cheap and Ebay takes a higher % off the sale, but this still works in your favor because you can do 3 day runs and start very high and see what happens. (Sometimes people go for that crazy high price) If I had any idea what those bills were worth it's definitely what I would have suggested first, the fixed price and best offer, but since there was no real feel for value posted at that time I didn't say it. Better to be safe then sorry.
