<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 2019705, member: 19065"]Condition is everything! Paper money isn't very forgiving in this regard and even the slightest bumps and handling negatively impacts value, easily. If searching circulated notes it's much harder to come across something of greater collector value given the age and condition. Try searching new straps and mind the serial numbers before taking them from the bank/teller so you can cherry pick (if possible, as many others and dealers do this) those notes with fancy SNs in ChCU grades. While your note was a pleasant first find (Congrats, by the way.) it's not particularly scare and too well worn to fetch much premium. With such notes, I usually advise you collect as you like or hold them and use these notes to buy a collectible say at a coin show or in a local coin shop. If you are not familiar with the site check out <a href="http://coolserialnumbers.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coolserialnumbers.com/" rel="nofollow">coolserialnumbers.com</a> and follow completed auction listings to learn about how fancy SNs carry a premium given various conditions and other factors that make a note hold a collector value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
