Highest serial number

i had a 99984826 a while back, but i spent it thinking there wouldn't be a premium...

Exactly, if it didnt start with 00000, I moved right along.

 

Believe me when I say that they are not nearly as desirable as the other things you posted. I don't even really collect the high serial #'s unless there are 2 9's in a row to start which I haven't seen yet. These would be from uncut sheets that the BEP sells at its Money Store.

Hey, Psst! Come my way...

Let me point you to a great thread by a great collector, the words of RickieB are very inspiring and helped to lure me to paper much more seriously than I had ever paid it the attention it deserves:

The ~ 600:1 Ratio here at CT

Consider his words about collecting US paper money in general, not just the eras he mentioned per his interests.

Also, check out auction results for fancy SNs compared to same Series/Blocks to those with fancy SNs. And here, again, is that site I linked to earlier: http://coolserialnumbers.com

 

same here...

 

You were right to think that way. In all likelihood it had none for such a number, especially if found in circulation and a common series, but without all the facts we will never know what note you were holding so there's no point holding onto the past, unless, as your memory seems to serve by reciting this number, can you tell us the district, block numbers, Series date, denominaton, etc? Or did you just make that number up as you try to reach 1000 points in the next day or two as you mentioned in another thread. LOL!

 

Nice krispy, thanks for the links. I do not collect paper money, except what I find in circulation. I get the opportunity to look through quite a bit of cash. Now i realize I have only been looking for 3 types of serials and star notes. That website is exactly what I needed to see.

 

If you are ever at a bank teller window and can peek in their drawers to see new straps with high or low SNs you might ask to take (withdraw) the whole strap and search for fancy SNs (esp if you can calculate the number range on the spot to know it should have some fancy SNs), or ask them if they have any old notes with blue, red, yellow, brown, or light green seals/SNs. You'd be surprized what tellers set aside at their window because people don't like those notes or 'some old lady just came and deposited these' notes... I see stories on PM forums all the time about this happening.

 

lol, no, i had it written on a piece of paper, because i thought it was a big number to see on a bill, but i really wanted a soda!!!!

 

It sounds like it was money well spent! " A coke and "

 

yup! i think it was a coke too!

 

circulation serials used to run all the way to 99999999.
Also, there used to be a circulation maximum higher than the current 96 million (for $50s and $100s, it still is - 99.2 million)
anything higher than the relevant maximum is form an uncut sheet.

my highest
< 96000000 : 95979268 ($1 2009 L-G)
< 99840000 : 98267561 ($1 1977 G-D)
< 99999999 : 99992102 ($10 1950B G-D)
uncut sheet : 99998907 ($5 2009 JLA)

have 59 uncut sheet bills (some in a partial sheet, some cut as individual bills)
5 with four leading nines, 18 with three leading nines, 36 with two leading nines

I'm often interested in high-serial bills that are from uncut sheets; it can be hard to get close enough to a circulation maximum

 

Here are my highest:

 

My highest is E94999998F 1999 $1 and while i'm at it lowest is A00009949A 2001 $1. And damn Krispy that is a nice Note i luv the stars i must have a hundred different notes.

 

Thanks! I also like that my F1969H* $5 Series 1969 note
with the SN: H 00000650 * is graded a GEM NEW 65PPQ.


And the F-1907H $1 Series 1969D note with the
SN: H 66676666 B is graded a GEM NEW 66PPQ.
