OK, so I bought several of the bills that I had set aside over the last couple of weeks today. Here's what I got...I think its a pretty nice assortment: Series 1963A $1 Dallas FRN K46576421C: Series 2006 $1 San Francisco FRN L00004367C (I liked the low #): Series 1950A $10 San Francisco FRN L34449085B: Series 2004 $20 Chicago FRN Star Note EG00007863*. The condition on this one isn't that great and its not from a short run, but its my first colorized $20 star note and it was a low serial number so I grabbed it. I figured the number alone made it a keeper: My other finds (which aren't pictured): Series 2006 $1 Boston FRN A84044449A (I like the number "4449" as it reminds me of my first hobby...model railroading). Series 2006 $1 San Francisco FRN L00177767* I also picked up a 40% silver 1966 Kennedy Half Dollar. To elaborate on the "4449" note a little more, when I was little I loved train sets...model railroading was my first big hobby. I still like it today (I go and look at the shows when they happen locally...but thats about it), but my childhood is full of memories of that. My favorite train as a child was the Southern Pacific's SP4449 Daylight Express...which is a historical passenger train that still exists, and its housed in my home state of Oregon. You can see what it is here: http://www.sp4449.com/. I almost didn't grab this note (I was actually about to hand it to a customer when I stopped and put in my keeper pile...for $1 I couldn't let it go).
Yes, but I don't think you get into much premium until you get a 3 digit serial (as opposed to a 4 digit like this one). But, you don't see 4 digits that often...so it might be worth a small premium.
