is there any way to see the back of the notes up for auction? (without physically going) And sometimes there are multiple bills in one lot but only a picture of one. Is there anyway to get a look at all the notes in the lot?

There was a while back, you could have requested extra pictures from Charles but at this point it is too late.

I wish they would post larger and extra pictures as the back usually reveals more evidence of circulation.

$150,000 plus $27,000 commission, plus tax if you live in Canada, hammer price.....

The 27,000 Buyers premium. Does all of that go to the auction house?

yup

I don't see the picture anymore. What $5 note is it again?

27,000 commission seems ridiculous. How much more money does it cost the auction house to sell that bill then say one that goes for $100? I think they should cap the commission. For example $1,000 max. If anything that bill helped advertise the auction and brought more buyers to it. It makes more sense to me to sell it privately if it is going to lead to an extra 20,000-25,000. Does having it go in an auction really lead that to that much more of a profit that its worth paying 27,000? I'm sure if you let some dealers know it was up for sale, maybe post it in the forums that a bill of the magnitude was up for grabs the right people would find out about it and come calling.
