Anyone know the status of this note? Seems Manifest Auctions was vacuumed into the Stack's corporate pile. Can't find this note anywhere in the Stack's unwieldy web site.

Another A-000001 note from the same sheet (Plate C) was offered in Spink's "Bank Note Circular" magazine, Issue 2, January 1996, where it was illustrated.

Sounds like a case of the price isn't right.

I don't know if the holder desperately needed money or something.
