Picked these up while traveling this week .

Nice notes, especially the stars. Did you get those for face?

 

Just a little over

 

This is the newest one.

 

wiw I shoulda kept that one I found then with serial number 88888881. I figured it wouldn't be worth anything since it wasn't all 8s...oh well live and learn! It was something around that...def 7 numbers the same in a row and the last different.

 

Did I hear someone say serial 88888881 ?

 

I don't know Steve, did you hear someone say serial 88888881 or did you simply see it? lol

 

very nice! If the one I saw WAS all 8's it definitely wasn't in that good of condition! Very used.

 

Don't let Krispy see this one. I'll try to snag it!

 

Received this one yesterday from Scott Lindquist:



Received these yesterday from Denly's of Boston:

 

Posted the main bank before. Now I added the branch bank in Shreveport of the same denomination. I noticed the nick on the right edge margin but the note was heavily discounted so I went ahead anyway.

 

i found some notable bills in my teller drawer today. one 2003a $1 star note, two $1 1963a notes, a low serial $10 from 1974, and a binary $20 from 2006 (ia40000400a). not too bad for a saturday!

 

How low of a serial $10? Pics would be cool if possible. Good job and good for you!:thumb:

 

it's not a real low serial, but it's low enough to be worth noting. also, the bill is in wonderful condition, especially considering it came out of circulation.

Well I keep all notes pre-1996 anyways (excluding $1's and $2's) so IMO that is a really nice find! From you being a bank teller and all, how often would you say you come across older style notes? What years would you say are the most common? Forgive me if you find this question a bit too personal, but do you work in a more rural area or a city like setting? Most of the time, notes like this 1974 $10 are found in rural areas, so I'm just curious where you found this one. Currently, I have a 1974 for every denomination except $10 and $50.

 

actually, i do live in a pretty rural area. mount sterling, il is a town of about 2,000, and the nearest "city" is 45 minutes away and has a population of about 50,000. i would say that generally speaking, i see anywhere from two to five bills from pre-1990 runs in $5 denominations and higher each day i'm in a window, which is maybe once a week. i passed on several 1988 $1 notes today, and last week i missed out on a 1950 $100 because i couldn't scramble up the cash to buy it out of my drawer. i made sure to point it out to the customer that ended up with it though

i usually have access to $15-20k worth of different cash every day, and anywhere from $100-1000 in coin. finding adequate time to inspect it all is the real challenge.

to add: i think the most common older notes i see are 1963. i have half a dozen singles, a $5, and a $20.

 

Are you saying that the 1963 notes are more common than all older style notes? Even the '90s?? Wow . I imagined that you would live in a mountain town if you find lots of older style bills, and sure enough. Cash just don't circulate much in rural areas, obviously.
