[QUOTE="lettow, post: 1378561, member: 6986"]The Franklin Mint notes will not meet your criteria. They had special serial numbers but not all zeroes. They were originally sold on a subscription basis from the Franklin Mint. Good luck on your quest. It is doubtful that you will find anything you are looking for other than through dealer channels unless you get to know someone real well at a bank that is still holding specimen notes. Bank specimens usually enter the marketplace when someone working at the bank takes them home and contacts a dealer or auction house to sell them. Unless they have been contacted by a private party and an under the table deal has already been worked out. Printer's specimens have hit the market due to the sale of the printer's archives.[/QUOTE]
