<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1539055, member: 5233"]So, I am looking to expand my currency collection beyond it's current state (which is 99% circulation finds). I will probably end up just putting many of these notes back into circulation and replacing them with examples that I want to have. One thing I would like to do is add a few low serial number notes to my collection. In my eyes...a low serial number is anything with 3 digits or less. I figure the 3 digit numbers will be in my price range (2 digits seem to get quite a bit more expensive). But my question is...how much of a premium does these notes usually carry. I know eBay is probably the wrong place to look...but just starting out, I think it's my best option. I just need to be selective.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take this note for example, it's a 1969 Philly $5 FRN Serial C00000366A. The ad says CH UNC but I'm not an expert at grading notes and the scan is hard to see. But, it looks to be in decent shape. I think this would be a great note for my collection for a couple reasons. First, it's a nice crisp (appearing) example of both an older design $5 as well as a low serial. I have a few older design $5s I plucked from circulation...with this note, I would feel OK getting rid of those. With over 5 days left...this note is currently going for $6.50 but I expect it to go for quite a bit more than that. The big question is...what is a fair price for this note? My (out of date) book says $15 in CHCU...but with the serial what is a decent price?</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/AVC1410-1969-5-FEDERAL-RESERVE-NOTE-FANCY-LOW-SERIAL-NUMBER-00000366A-/160889204041?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2575be6d49" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/AVC1410-1969-5-FEDERAL-RESERVE-NOTE-FANCY-LOW-SERIAL-NUMBER-00000366A-/160889204041?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2575be6d49" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/AVC1410-1969-5-FEDERAL-RESERVE-NOTE-FANCY-LOW-SERIAL-NUMBER-00000366A-/160889204041?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2575be6d49</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another example.
