    The experts will be around soon. Do you have pics of the reverses, and are they raw? That #1 sure is pretty!

    the #1 note will fecth a value based purely on its serial. and it willbe hefty! the seond note, while wont fetch anything close to the #1 note, will fecth some :) The second note has a cool serial too, but not nearly as cool as the #1 :D But even stil, i think the second note will go for $300 or so.

    That first note definitely has large value because of the serial but I have no idea what.

    HOLY WOW!
    They look sharp enough to cut butter...
    They look so crisp, and the first one, like the others said, will fetch you some dough!!!
    I am by no means, an expert on these certs, so I can't appraise them for you..Although I can say this, the look Uncirculated...

    Nice notes...love the #1 SN SC.

    First thing I would do is to get both notes graded, if not already!
    Then the xxxxxxx1 SN note could be better valued. Yes I know grading is subject to opinion, however, guy's wiuth the money to buy a note like this will want them graded, unless they have it in hand to look at.

    The #1 note will get a very nice premium to say the least....the repeater will as well, but nothing like the SN #1 note.

    Good luck!!

    I've been watching this thread for few hours and I cannot take it anymore. The pictures are clearly fake - the guy didn't even done any good job to blend the background on the serial#.

    look at the white space around the SN. Clearly a different shade of white. Very basic photoshop effort. The numbers on the 123 do not even appear in a straight line to the naked eye.

    The different shade of white on any note, can be common, just due to being in a wallet, or catching dirt somewhere on it
    Now as for the second picture, with the serial numbers not being 100% straight, I can see how that could be a possibility, but my question to anyone who thinks this is fake, is, why would somebody coming here, asking what the value of their bills were, FAKE A PICTURE... It doesn't make sense... Why would there be a point of coming here, and showing fake pictures, and asking the value of them???

    Wow ..so I go back and look closer at the bills. It does appear that there could be some issues with the bills being fake. I am like Tmoney ..............WHY?

    I understand that a different shade of white is possible for wear and tear, or even an effect from the photo or scan, but this white space forms a perfect rectangle. Looking at the full size photo of of the 001 photo all the space around the zero's are one shade, the space around the 1 is different yet, and the letters have a third shade of white.

    I can't speak to their motivation...I just chalk it up to something they thought might be a good idea but looks odd to someone from the outside. Have you ever see someone at the store wearing their pajama's at 2 in the afternoon?

    Yes I go to the store in my pajimas every other Wednesday at 2...
    Well they still look real... But I guess getting them graded would be the next step

    Guy's...

    I just want to let you know that the SN#s are not always in a straight row!
    If you look at Dr. Bartts error books you will see that SN# can be effected by a few varaibles. I would not say that this makes them fake! I have many notes where SN#s are not in a perfect row!!

    If they are fake, then so what!! The #1 SN on these do exist and they are extremely expensive! The last $100 I saw like this went for 130K.

    Do not judge by SN alignment..you will get burned everytime!

    I looked closer as well and the serial number are definitely faked. If you want to see it a little clearer, open up the serial #1 note image, right click and select 'Copy Image', then open up the standard Windows Paint program and paste the image in. Then go to View menu->Zoom->Large Size and look at the serial numbers. It's obvious that a single digit 0 was duplicated 13 times and used for all the other zeroes on the note. Also, Numbers may know more than me on this one, but shouldn't a serial #1 note be in plate position A? The cut & paste job on the 0123 repeater note is even worse. Whoever did it didn't even take the time to blend in the background.

    I am with RickieB on this one... serial numbers do not always line up!!!

    BUT... you just cant argue with Magmans proof!

    Hopefully the OP didnt know ... otherwise, i can show him a short pier for his long walk :D
