I have a $5 bill with low serial number and a $1 bill with a low serial number and I want to know how much it is worth I’m expecting it to be worth a face value $5-ML01732592I $1-F05318582K
I found out that any folds like the ones you have in the photos are not good for value either. They will bring it down considerably.
There is a small premium with numbers less than 1000 (00000999). But the notes should be uncirculated. Things get more interesting with numbers less than 100 (00000099). And that might even apply to AU notes. But with numbers less than 10 (00000009) it should really get exciting. Even with circulated notes.
I've got a book that defines "Low and Fancy Numbers". But copying those pages would be a copyright violation. So I'll just give you the book information. "Collector's Guide to Modern Federal Reserve Notes/Series 1963-2009" by Robert Azpiazu. The book is An Official Whitman Guide. Mine has a 2011 copyright, so there may be newer editions.
Welcome to CT Kamil. Do some more research and reading on serial numbers and what is considered a low number. I had a good laugh looking at your serial numbers that you call low. Also, as mentioned, condition is everything in a collectable note. Keep looking and learning.
Guys.....value is a function of both LOW SN and HIGH GRADE (plus any other factors). If the note is a pre-1928 large bill...or a bill for which it's tough or super-expensive to get in Gem (65) or Super Gem Quality (67 or above), then a SN in the hundreds or even thousands is a nice factor. OTOH, a recent bill from the last 10 years with a SN of 7500 isn't going to be worth much. This note is in a grade quality that greatly increases the value over face (obviously, since it's only $1) and the Hawaii factor and the low SN make it even more valuable. A SN <100 (if you could even find it and/or it exists) would probably bring the cost of this bill to $3,000 and a SN<10 would probably bring it to $10,000 or more.
