MANY SHOUT OUT WITH ABSOLUTE CONVICTION AND CALL THIS SPECIMEN THE HOLY GRAIL OF WORLD PAPER MONEY, NOT ONLY FOR IT'S BEAUTY ,DESIGNS OR TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN ARTISTIC PRODUCTION BUT FOR THE STORIES' ORIGIN THAT CLEARLY PUTS THIS ARTISTIC PIECE IN A DESIRED COLLECTING PLACEMENT CATEGORY ALL BY ITSELF.
TWENTY YEARS AGO REGARDING USA PAPER MONEY WAS LIKE TODAY'S WORLD MONEY IN SO FAR AS IT WAS VERY UNDERVALUED. ALMOST ALL RARE BILLS WITH TODAY'S UNITED STATES CURRENT MARKET VALUES THAT ARE ABOVE 7 FIGURES OR MORE WERE ONLY VALUED AND COSTING THE COLLECTING MARKET A BUY PRICE ONE TENTH OF TODAYS PRICES LESS 20 YEARS AGO. MANY PREDICTED THIS BUT NOT ALL REALIZED THAT 15-20 YEARS LATER THE SAME USA NOTES WILL BE SELLING FOR A MILLION DOLLARS OR MUCH MORE WITH NO MONETARY RELIEF IN SIGHT.THE SAME WILL HAPPEN TO THE PRICES OF SOME WORLD NOTES !
TODAY, WE HAVE AN EVEN BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT ASTUTE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS VISION, UNDERSTANDING AND TIME ON HIS SIDE. WE HAVE HERE ON DISPLAY SOMETHING RATHER UNIQUE AND STUPENDOUS IN THE WORLD , THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF PERHAPS LESS THEN 6 PIECES KNOWN SPECIMENS TO EXIST THAT IS CERTIFIED 68 PPQ , WE KNOW OF A 64 WITH NO PPQ DESIGNATION, ONE 67 AND THIS HERE BEAUTY ,FINEST KNOWN CERTIFIED 68 PPQ OF SIMPLE MESMERIZING VISUAL PERFECTION.
IN THE MID 1950'S THE SOUTH VIETNAM COMMISSIONED THE THOMAS DE-LA RUE COMPANY TO CREATE A BILL THE REFLECTS THE WISDOM OF MAN , THE UNCONDITIONAL FAITH OF A NATION AND IT'S STUNNING BEAUTY . THE OLD MAN REPRESENTED WISDOM, THE TEMPLE REPRESENTED THE RELIGIOUS DISCIPLINE OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE PORTRAIT OF THE YOUNG WOMAN DEPICTED UNCOMPARABLE BEAUTY. THERE ARE TWO VARYING EXAMPLES KNOWN, THE 4A PROOF WHICH IS LISTED HERE AND THE FINAL VERSION CALLED 4a SPECIMEN WHICH IS THE FINAL BY PRODUCT. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE SERIAL NUMBER WRITTEN INTO THE CENTER OF THE BILL IN RED INKS AND THE ADVANCED HALO GRAM ONLY SEEN WHEN PORTRAYED UP AGAINST LIGHT.
AGAIN WE CAN CONFIRM APROX 6 KNOWN PIECES IN PROOF EXISTS AND PERHAPS A DOZEN PIECES KNOWN TO SURVIVE IN SPECIMEN.
HERE IS THE SCOOP AS WE KNOW IT, RECENTLY AN ASIAN GRANDSON WHOM HAD RELATIVES IN THE STATES FORWARDED
THIS PIECE WHOSE BEAUTY WAS TIMELESSLY PRESERVED AS IF IN A TIME MACHINE TO HIS USA RELATIVES WHO THEN SAW MY ADVERTISEMENT OF A PRIOR TRADE SALE PUBLICATION OF SIMILARITY AND REACHED OUT TO ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT .
IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE GRANDFATHER WORKED FOR THE SOUTH VIETNAM GOVERNMENT
PRIOR TO COMMUNISM IN THE 1950'S IN A MANAGERIAL POSITION IN CORPORATE BANKING.
I WAS TOLD THAT THE GRANDFATHER WHOSE CENTRAL BANK WAS THE MOST PROLIFIC AND IMPORTANT IN IT'S TIME THAT THEY WERE TO RECEIVE THE VERY FIRST ALPHA VERSION OF THIS NOTE AS SOON AS IT WAS READY FIRST FRESH OFF THE PRESSES. THIS NOTE IS BELIEVED TO BE THE VERY FIRST BILL DELIVERED TO A CENTRAL BANK IN SOUTH VIETNAM FOR PREVIEW AND OBSERVATION.
SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE BETA VERSION WITH BOTH SERIAL NUMBER AND HOLOGRAM WAS ADDED AND THUS THE FINISHED PRODUCT WAS APPROVED PURPORTEDLY FOR MASS PRODUCTION. SADLY THIS BILL WAS NEVER PRINTED OR ISSUED AS LEGAL TENDER . THE COMMUNIST PARTY TOOK OVER AND THE LIFE OF THE OLD MAN AT THE TEMPLE CEASED TO EXIST.
THERE ARE UNCONFIRMED REPORTS FROM RELIABLE SOURCES THAT THE ONLY REASON THERE ARE A DOZEN SPECIMENS KNOWN AND A FEW PROOFS IS BECAUSE OF THE TRAVELING COMMUNIST OFFICIAL WHO VISITED THE USA ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS IN THE 1960'S , SUPPOSEDLY HE FELT HIS NEW GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE NO INTEREST IN THE PREVIOUS PAPER MONEY PRACTICE OF THE OLD MAN NOTE ,SO SUPPOSEDLY HE SOLD OF SOME 15-20 SMUGGLED PIECES HE HAD STUFFED INTO HIS BRIEFCASE AND COLLECTED AN UNSPECIFIED AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM A USA DEALER.
THIS UNFORTUNATE STORY CONCLUDES WITH THE STORY STATING THIS OFFICIAL WAS CAUGHT SELLING ILLEGAL CONTRABAND AND WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH BY THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT .
IN THIS WRITER'S OPINION THIS EXAMPLE WILL SOME DAY BE THE NOTE TO BREAK ALL
IMAGINARY FINANCIAL CEILING LEVELS AND GRACIOUSLY REWARD IT'S CURRENT TEMPORARY
CARETAKER WITH VERY MONUMENTAL MONETARY REWARDS .
JUST GANDER AT THIS SPECIMEN AND MARVEL UNTIL IT IS SOLD TO THE NEXT CARETAKER.
ENJOY !!! GRACIOUSLY OFFERED AT $100,000.00
