Post Your Low Serial Numbers !!
Fenntucky Mike replied to GoldFinger1969's topic in US and World Notes
The premium is all in the serial numbers. To bad they weren't from the GF block. -

Highly-Graded Bills -- Any Bill Type
Fenntucky Mike replied to GoldFinger1969's topic in US and World Notes
Notes are more easily damaged by handling. There are other factors that I have not quantified like the number of coin collectors vs note collectors, the amount of NCLT coins and mint sets graded vs presentation notes, total number of each and the percent that graded 70, etc. but my gut feeling is that notes graded 70 far less than coins. In the end I feel it comes down to that notes are more fragile. -

1935-A Hawaii Silver Certificate Grade?

To me it depends on if you can recoup the grading fees and be money ahead when it comes time to sell, I don't use an arbitrary minimum dollar amount as a determining factor. Of course some people just want to have a note graded so it can be added to a registry set, regardless. The grading fee alone for this note would be $37, add shipping there and back, handling fee, insurance, etc., and your looking at a sizable sum. Tough to recoup that money on a note like this. -

They source it. There is probably only a hand-full of African nations that print their own currency

Highly-Graded Bills -- Any Bill Type
Fenntucky Mike replied to GoldFinger1969's topic in US and World Notes
70's are fairly rare when it comes to notes, much tougher for a note to graded 70 than a coin imo, and the prices for 70's are usually outrageous. I like to try and pick up notes graded 68 and stay away from 69 & 70 as the price is not worth it. Here is my only 70 graded note, a test note from 2008. -

If you had to guess what would this grade?
Fenntucky Mike replied to Carter12345's topic in US and World Notes
I believe he pawned it or sold it to a coin shop. I thought he said in another post that whomever he sold the note to was going to get it graded but I don't think the results were ever posted. -

I don't think they really stood for anything, just a change in the ink used. You can probably date the notes by the seal color. Awesome not GF. You picked out some notes with really good eye appeal.

Condition is king, they are not worth getting graded. Birthday notes are a niche collecting area, they bring very little premium if any in my experience. The serial number 06241965 is probably the best one since there are people still living that were born on that date, unless the other dates coincide with other famous births or events in history.

How to value and what to label
Fenntucky Mike replied to Jogarced's topic in Newbie Note Collecting Questions
Yes, uncirculated bills sell for around $300, circulated bills I would estimate sell for about half depending on condition. The OP says the note is circulated but theirs is an actual fancy number so it wouldn't surprise me if it got close to three hundo. -
How would you label this?

When a digit is not in line with the rest, either higher or lower, it is referred to as a "Gas Pump" note or by the technical term Stuck Digit which refers the digits on the numbering wheel. Most Gas Pump notes have no or very little value above face unless part of the next digit was printed on the note, part of the digit is missing, or there is a partial of the two digits. It's not unusual for mismatched serial numbers to be gas pumps/stuck digits.
