Lowest Serial Number You Have ? Seen ?

Here's one of my lowest. Not pristine but low. I may have it graded for kicks.

Here's my second lowest. 45

 

Molon, how many of those were printed ?

Low SN's are increasingly valuable on older notes and special notes (SC, Hawaii, GC).

 

My wife and I have a dollar bill that has 01111012 is that worth anything?

 

$1.00......

Nah, it only has 3 digits and the "1" appears 5 times but it's nothing special. Maybe someone would value it at $2-$4 or so, excluding the cost of a holder.

 

Serial Numbers < 10: Gonna try and save up or free up some $$$ to possibly get a note with a SN of #00000009 or less. Price SKYROCKETS when you go from low 2-digits (like teens or twenties) to single-digits.

Then....the price for #1 or #2 just seem to go up exponentially. Seems like the price of the Single Digit Club is 3x or 4x most double-digit SN's....then another 2x or 3x to get to #3-#6....then another 3x or 4x to get #2 or #1.

That's for a bill with some other attribute worth collecting, not just "any bill with the low or ultra-low SN."

Not sure I can combine a low-SN or ultra-low SN with a GC or SC....maybe other bill attributes like LGS.

 

I only have this one. Found it in circulation.
Any thoughts on it's value?

 

My lowest note is a Confederate Note from the Civil War. It is the lowest known serial number of all the CSA Notes printed. I have posted it before but the photos are on my other phone. Will post when I get home. The S/N is 2.

 

Twenty something years ago.

 

Holy Crap, as Frank Romano used to say !!

That's a GREAT note because the borough of Palisades Park WAS also the home to the famous Palisades Amusement Park, which is a legend to people of age in the 1960's before it closed in 1971.

My father took me there the last or next-to-last weekend it was open in 1971. I won a goldfish on my 1st try (ping pong ball into the bowl game) after he blew a few quarters misfiring on his shots.

My sister-in-law is from the area. It's changed alot over the years and if you can buy a home there or rent there it's super-easy to commute into Manhattan right next to the George Washington Bridge and Fort Lee.

 

I'm gonna say a few hundred dollars but I could be wrong.

Heritage has only sold 3 of these since the 1990's:

A PMG-25 sold for $216 (w/bp) about 3 years ago. 2 others were ungraded but about your condition.

 

Here is my low S/N CSA Note. Graded by PCGS as a VF-35. It’s a $100.00, 1862 Note. Hand numbered and that is normal.

 

Wow......

 

Thanks. It’s very nice. The grade is good, the note does not have pinholes, strong color and 3 interest payment stamps on the back. This note didn’t circulate too much as all the interest payments were made in Augusta, Georgia. It also has a has a signature on the back. I’ve owned it for about 12 years and it costs me just over $2000. Today it’s worth about $10,000. It’s a lovely note.

 

That Palisades Park note is awesome. Not so much for the S/N, as low numbers are much more common with nationals (since there was a small number of notes printed for each bank), but for actually finding one in circulation!
