<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dannic113, post: 1463473, member: 35203&quot;]To research the blue seals yourself for scarce letter blocks here&#039;s the link... <a href="http://apdcurrency.com/db5/00457/apdcurrency.com/_download/BlueRedGoldGreenSealsMasterversion4.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://apdcurrency.com/db5/00457/apdcurrency.com/_download/BlueRedGoldGreenSealsMasterversion4.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://apdcurrency.com/db5/00457/apdcurrency.com/_download/BlueRedGoldGreenSealsMasterversion4.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Are all the $1 blue seals or are the rest green seals? Most of the &quot;lucky&quot; money starts 777 or chinese 888 or 168 for luck forever or something like that. Don&#039;t know of any 999 other than it being lucky (as it&#039;s close to a natural 9) for bacarat players much like horse racing and $2 bills now if there were more 9&#039;s like 99999997 toward the end of a run aka high serial number you are talking interested people. I don&#039;t know of much premium for those numbers in the middle or ends of the serial number. Another thing to look for is like on the $10 starting 1988 if the series was a 1988A (even better if the block was A1988 on a series 1988A) but the double letter at the beginning suggests it&#039;s a 1995 series or newer.</p><p>As for keepers my picks would be definate one&#039;s that are uncirculated no folds, creases, stains, nice sharp unbent corners, etc.&nbsp; the star notes, the 1950&#039;s series $10, the 0777, the 8888, would need pics on the crooked 9&#039;s as that may be a printing error, I would also be curious on the two $1 notes that don&#039;t have 8 numbers only 7. Make sure both serial numbers are the same on the bills that&#039;s an obvious error most overlook. It&#039;s called mismatched serial numbers. Another one that goes undetected sometimes are notes that are missing printing such as seals, signatures, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;The other thing you might want to research is modern scarcities. The 2004A series $10 star note from the chicago (G) district is an example. There were so few stars for that district that for a modern bill they are already worth $60 I know I got lucky went to the bank and got one when I cashed a check. Dumb luck but I&#039;m not complaining. If you can get a copy of a magazine called paper money trends it will help you out. It has grading instructions for notes and ball park pricing it&#039;s the cheapest option put out by the coin world folks. Other more expensive options for currency are the &quot;blackbook&quot; of currency it&#039;s to notes what red book/blue book are to coins, or there is a whitman publishing book on bank notes &quot;A Guide Book to United States Currency&quot;, for errors I recomend the &quot;United States Paper Money Errors&quot; book. Those should give you some info if any of the series or blocks of notes you have are a treasure. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
