    Trying to find out if my dollar bills are worth anything extra. I know some people look out for star notes, and that's what i began doing but then I started looking at serial numbers. Are these serials worth a premium?

    19350368 -Birthday?
    19556304 -Birthday?
    12341957 -Ladder/Birthday?
    94846282 -Thought this one was neat
    90190151 -Semi-Repeater
    00005234 -Low Number
    62888887 -5 in a row

    I don't think the first two birthday ones are worth anything since there's not 63 or 68 days in a month lol. Just thought I'd save them and see what you guys thought.

    Hopefully I don't get in trouble for posting this again but I think this may be a more appropriate sub-forum.

    From what I understand, birthday notes end with the year rather than begin. And last time I checked, the most days in a month was 31, concerning the 12/34/1957 note. IMO, none of those notes really qualify for the categories you mention. But you never know, you can always throw something on eBay and see if someone wants to pay more than it's face value. And that might happen with the low serial number one and maybe the five 8's one. I'm no expert though, so don't start any auctions based on my quick take. Good luck hunting those notes! :smile

    based upon the info you have given i really don't see anything special about those notes. a true birthday note would be 00001975. that would command a slight premium depending on condition. as far as the 4 digit serial once again probably not much if any premium. i know for me i don't go for a low serial unless there is 5 0's before the first number. i would say they are all spenders. if you like them keep'em. it's only a dollar. :thumb:

    Thanks for the input guys, I'll probably just throw the 2 up on ebay and if they don't go for over a $1 not really anything lost since it's still spendable :p

    Thanks for the input, I'll just try and list the last two and see if any new collectors are interested.
