I am putting this listing here since maybe currency folks might want some silver to put away.
This is a Sterling silver currency note reproduction from the archives of the American Banknote Company.
The set of 6, of which this is number 1, was made in the 1970s and most have probably been melted in the big 1980 silver melt.
Serial number 69.
This discussion tells more about this item:

And see this HA auction for the entire collection:

Note, I only have note #1, not the entire series.
The piece includes a proof print of the note printed by ABNCo, an intaglio COA with someone's name on it (and with a fold in the paper), the silver banknote, and original folio. It is missing the descriptive booklet.
The note weighs 151.35g which is 4.8661 Troy oz of Sterling (4.5 oz ASW). It is wrapped in its original plastic wrap, which I have not removed.
I am asking $500 shipped to US addresses, but I am open to an offer.
Payment by PPFF, Zelle, or check. Save it from the melting pot!

That is kind of neat in my opinion.
Anyone at $400 shipped? Take advantage of the decline in silver!
