I found a crisp 20 today with a center fold with the serial number 77888888 would it carry a premium over face?   12-05-2008, 03:21 PM   #2 (permalink) MattMpls Member   Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Minneapolis MN Posts: 43 Too bad about the fold. Whether or not it's worth over $20 I'd save it just because of the serial number!! What series and district is it from?   12-05-2008, 04:31 PM   #3 (permalink) kidromeo I'M LEGEND     Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Republic Of India Posts: 1,751 My Mood: Thats a binary...certainly a keeper but I don't know wheres the value gonna stand due to its centre fold. I do keep these type of serials for my collection in whatever grade possible. __________________ Visit My Website   12-05-2008, 04:34 PM   #4 (permalink) CamaroDMD Dental Student     Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 5,382 My Mood: I'd say it would have a premium to the right collector. With it's condition, probably not much of one...but sure, the right collector would jump all over that. There are people who collect specific number combos, we have a member here who collects binary notes with 5s and 8s I believe. So, if you could find one who collects 7s and 8s then they might pay a nice premium. __________________ The Truth About "O" Mint Morgan Dollars   12-06-2008, 10:17 PM   #5 (permalink) LSM Collector     Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: southwest florida Posts: 1,349 My Mood: I would keep the note. The number 8 is a lucky number in some cultures, especially in Asian countries. Keep it maybe it will bring you luck.

I got a neat serial today EI44444456A on a twenty, only twelve numbers from the solid so someone broke up the pack that has all fours in it. I'm keeping my eyes open....   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1. Post unto others as you would have them post unto you. 2.
