Hi - long time lurker, first time poster. I won these in an eBay auction a while back and sent them in for grading. I know that fancy serials probably realize their best prices in auctions - but what would be the estimated value say in a retail setting? What would a dealer pay? Are these matching serials that special/rare? Thanks! 2003 A $5 FRN S/N FB 44444492 C 2006 L $1 FRN S/N L 44444492 C
The only interest in these would be the novelty of having matched notes. These serial numbers wouldn't interest me. If they had been radars or something like that, then the price would increase. If you enjoy them, keep them. But, unless you put together a larger collection of these matching numbers, the value would be at the lower end of the scale.
Thank you all for the responses. I understand these are worth "what you pay for them"' but what "scale" are you referring to? Lower end would be what, $50, $100, $500?
The lowest would probably be book value for these notes, at $6 for the one, and $15 for the five. You'll probably realize a bit more at auction, but it really depends on who wants these specific notes. There are a lot of matching note auctions on ebay - a lot, including star notes, radars, solids and more. Those will get some higher prices. I'm sure there are more auction than there are bidders. So you could probably get them for cheap, if no one (assuming the seller doesn't) bids you up.
