Bills with low serial number

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

those are not low numbers....a low serial number will start with 5 or more zero's...

 

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.

 

I will give you $3.00 for both bills!

 

You are being awfully generous here lately! I think I saw you offering $10 in another thread!

 

I have a very low $5 bill. 0000099. How much is it with?

 

With what?

 

Well a note that is truly 00000099 does have value.
Let's see photos.

 

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.

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.

 

So is any of these bills have low serial numbers???

 

JCB, it would help if you attached them as FULL IMAGE and not Thumbnail.

 

here you go full size

.

 

did you see the ones I posted and I put some five in there???

 

so what do you think about the serial numbers?

 

You want 5 or 6 leading zeroes.
Here are 2 of mine with only 4 leading zeroes.

 

JCB, here's two I own sequentially each with 6 zeros:
