Wow! Over $400 so far! This is a good one to watch. Collectors are drooling over this auction.
Since you hid your counter you have to tell us how many looky-loos you've had.

just checked 176, it wont get interesting till 1 day left.

Not sure what day your auction ends but here's a tip for the future:
Auctions that begin and end on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 7:30pm Central Time will generally get more bids and make you more money than any other day of the week. It's the middle of the week, people are at home surfing the web. At 7:30 pm Central Time it's 5:30pm on the Left Coast and only 8:30 on the East Coast. Everyone in the U.S. is home from work, still up and having bidding wars on your auction.
I use Central Time since I'm in the Midwest. Adjust accordingly for your time zone so if you are in Cali, your auction would end at 5:30pm et al.

That is so cool. I look forward to seeing the other papers. I was wrong in my first post. Sorry about that. I have a couple sheets of CSA Bonds from Richmond. Of course we kept them cause well we lost the war and they were not good . I just remember seeing the 4 dollar squares on the bottom.
Hope you make what ever makes you happy on yours.

If one is worth a dollar, then ten are worth ten dollars each, if the ten are in a sheet, then its, ten times again, 100 each x 10 = a grand. Thats the general value/formula of rare notes.

Awesome loan note! Funny how those "worthless" pieces of paper aren't so "worthless" anymore!!

fyi I helped bump your bidding up...not to help you out per se..but because I really want that sheet of worthless paper

I'm thinking your reserve may be astronomical just to gauge value..but your welcome for bumping it up haha

Thank you sir. I have several of them as well as letters with CSA stamped on them from past family members. Enjoying your auction.
Good luck!

I think it could have done much better. A lot of bidders missed out because the auction ended in the morning. Re-list it but use the advice I offered above. It'll score, trust me.
