Now that I am starting to feel a lot better, I have a chance to post a few notes that I found while searching ones from the bank while I was more laid up. The first one: Series 1988 $1 FRN note. Check out the serial, not a repeating number on the note. I really wish they went in order, but hey I ain't gonna' complain. :smile The second: a 1995 $1 FRN District A Web note - front plate 7/back plate 8. Just about fell off my couch when I came across this note in the bundle of ones. More to follow when I have the time and can stand sitting at the computer with the scanner. Thanks.........
Darn shame a couple are not reversed on that serial number. Still some cool finds. I keep looking for web notes, but no luck so far.
On the Cleveland note the only way top get that note in numerical order from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, would be a "Specimen" note, however, from 98765432 would be cool and they do exist.....I personally do not have any like that but I know they command large premiums. Reverse ladder's are what I have heard them called. RickieB
The "Low-Down" on Ladder #'s hi guys, actually, the "Up-ladder" - 12345678 is available in other than "SPECIMEN" form as noted in rickyB's post(ALSO, most of the Legal Tender "SPECIMENS" from the 1953 & 1963 series were the 23456789 variety:secret, the "Down-Ladder - 98765432 is also available as is the 23456789 & 87654321 notes. The "up-Ladders" usually bring $1800.00 - $2,000.00, unless the series is also scarce. The "Down-Ladders" are the scarcer variety, IMHO, as many runs don't go high enough to reach them. On the modern runs, if they exist, they are "trapped" in uncut sheets, these usually sell for $2,200.00 - $3,000.00, unlr=ess the series is also scarce. thought more info would be appreciated, hope this helps
