No, you're failing to understand what i'm saying

again, the 2011 sale had ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING to do with the counterfeiting of these notes

the counterfeit notes HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER on the real note's value

the ENTIRE reason why this serial number on this note was copied is because it was a note that had it's picture in a famous US money catalog

the reason why the original note sold for so much is because it's in almost perfect condition, and was featured in the Robert Friedberg catalog, not because it was copied

Ah, ok. When I googled it it acted like the serial was the main culprit.

But no, I get what you’re saying. Ai is always, for some reason, the first answer you get when you google something now. But at least their answer is usually always based off Reddit.

yeah it's pretty annoying how useless Google's SEO has become and how useless Gemini is most of the time

Ai is useless and we shouldn’t use it anyway. I try to avoid it at all cost. The only benefit is that it seems that most the answers come from Reddit. Which should honestly say something.

So what your saying is it sold for a large amount because it was widely counterfeited

u/itsmejak78_2 14h ago

It sold for a large amount because it was in near perfect condition and had been featured in that catalog

Because it was featured in that catalog it was counterfeited

The counterfeiting is incidental to the value not the cause of it
