1957 Silver certificates with consecutive serial numbers. These bills are crisp like new with absolutely no folds or creases. Any premium?
Slight premium on uncirculated examples. There are plenty of these Silver Certificates around, and many times they are sold as consecutive serial numbers. Just do a search on eBay of completed sales. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...+1+silver+certificate+consecutive&_sacat=3412
What Steve said. There is a slight premium, and they are typically worth more together with their consecutively-numbered siblings.
Yes - common SC notes in UNC condition with consecutive serial #'s but with starting out with 00 they can command a slight premium to collectors - just don't get them from Coin Vault!
Both notes seem to have a soft vertical/crescent fold or dent in them, seen as a slight shadow through the left of center area running through, legal and and: This certificare is legal tender for all debts public and private Also, I can't tell because of the scanning, but the notes don't seem to be too well centered in the margins, and this will impact value, what little these might have. When scanning the notes remember to show the full margins. place them away from the edge of the scan bed and try to lay a black or dark sheet of paper behind the notes to help offset the white of the margins and give a little edge to the image file so we can see the full margins. Without them, it will be like cutting off the rim of a coin in a cropped image, that means others can't tell what the whole surface looks like and there could be poor centering or a hidden problem on the edge of the notes.
There is action near me this Sat. They have 100 1953 SC up for action. Wondering what they might go for. Also is there is a market for these bills?
1953 series only came in $5 and $10 denominations of silver certificates. If you are talking about the 1957 series, a strap of 100 consecutive notes should sell for about $500 to $700 for non-star notes. If they are mixed, circulated notes, you're looking at $1.50 to $2 a piece at most. There is a strong market for straps of consecutive silver certificates. If you are referring to the 1953 series, a 100 note strap of consecutive $5's, is worth about $2,000 to $3,000 depending on centering. If they are mixed, circulates notes, only $7 or $8 each. If you're talking about 10's, a 100 note strap of consecutive $10's is probably worth around $10,000+. If they're mixed circulated, maybe $25 each. The $10 denomination is considerably scarcer than $5 when talking about consecutive notes and straps.
I made a mistake. They are "1923 large bills" they don't say what condition or anything about them. $35 each.
At $35 each, they're probably in the low Very Fine range of the spectrum. Definitely not consecutive or uncirculated (otherwise it would be a hell of a lot more). You could also get rags that are worth $10 a piece and overpay. Or you might get XF or better, which would justify the $35 price. You might even get a scarce Fr. 239 (Woods - Tate sig combo) and make out very well. But without photos or being able to see it in person, I would stay far away.
