WOW oh WOWIE WOW ........An (almost) perfect up ladder, the first I've ever seen. Congrats on a great note John.
Although I wish it were a perfect 70PPQ full ladder, it is not. Go back and recount... LOL I am still very happy with its perfectness! And to keep it going I am also happy to add this example to my collection and it matches my $2 1963 69PPQ:
I wanted to get your guy's feedback regarding low serial numbers. I took a tiny risk and bought this Brazil note for only $3, saw it among a bunch of other foreign material at an antique store here in town. Do you think something like this would qualify as a low serial seeing as how it's only 6 digits?
Fantastic! Although by eBay standards, that's a ladder. :yes: You know, the right margin looks ever so slightly larger than the left. I thought the threshold for a 70 is something like 0.1mm.
I think your real question is whether this serial number adds to the value of the note because it may be a low number. In 25+ years of collecting world notes I have never seen collectors of any notes other than US notes give any significant premium to low serial numbers unless they were single digits. But then again, Ebay is a peculiar place and you might get the $20.00 you are asking for it.
It's worth a shot, I'm not asking a huge amount. I've had some good success selling fancy serial world notes.

Nice pick up Funkee! I have found a couple notes in my collection that also had a fiber that wasn't severed during cutting. They don't have any premium attached to it but it is cool! Here is my 2 additions to my serial 66 collection: I am particularly happy to get the Atlanta district...
