    You'd do well to get $30 for the lot - those gold leaf defaced deuces might not even fetch face value :eek:
    Here's the real deal, worth much more than a dollar, even with commentary:

    To answer your question, JCB, no...none of the bills you posted are low SN's.

    At a minimum, you need 4 zeros -- and that's assuming you have other traits (Gem Quality, North Africa or Hawaii or other dates bills, large denomination, Light Green Seal, etc.).

    If the bill is very common for the condition....then you probably need <100 to get $100's for it. Under 1,000 you might get $20-$50 or so.

    That's a kick-ass note Juris....you get that low, it's low-4 figures even for a recent date.

    66 grade and 1935 ? :D:cigar::wideyed:

    Agreed - not my note, but I wanted to show JCB what a low number specimen looks like ;)

    I believe -- and a currency historian expert here can correct me -- but that the bills with 7 zeros (SN<10) are probably taken by BEP staff and/or the Treasury Secretary and other VIPs. Or most of them.

    So to find current or past bills with super-low SNs is very tough. Especially in top-condition for the older stuff.

    @MoneyAffliated707 - Keep it if you like, or you may be able to sell it at a profit on eBay as a 'birthday note' (someone may have a birthdate of 6/9/2005)

    That's not a birthday note. 06092005 is.

    One leading 0 in the serial number does not make it low. Those are higher numbers. A bill has to have a serial number of 00000500 or lower to grab my attention and there are collectors that will say it should be 00000100 or less to be low.

    You're right about the "face value" part.
