Africa note, high quality)...<i>how RARE in general do you see low serial numbers available at either a decent or obscene price...and how do you define them ?</i></p><p><br /></p><p>IOTW...I know that if you get even a recent note with a SN &lt; 10 you&#039;re going to pay a ton so I don&#039;t expect to get a high-quality N. Africa PMG 65 with &lt; 10 SN.</p><p><br /></p><p>But are there generally very few or a few &lt; 100 ?&nbsp; What about &lt; 1,000 ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess what I&#039;m asking for is....<u>without paying an astronomical figure, when you have have a specific note and then goto a certain (PMG 65 or higher) grade quality, at this point how much have you narrowed the field to get a low SN in addition to those factors ?</u></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Let&#039;s say I&#039;m not interested in SN #34 with a PMG 35 grade.&nbsp; </b>I&#039;m talking Fairly Rare Note + PMG 65 grade....which for many notes only takes you to a few hundred dollars in cost.&nbsp; The $64,000 question is...<i>how much does adding a low SN add and how is that low SN defined (&lt;10,000 ?&nbsp; &lt;1000 ? &lt;100? ) ? </i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Are there lots of low SN&#039;s &lt; 1,000 and even &lt;100 and &lt;10 out there for North Africa, Hawaii, Gold Certificates, Light Green Sales, etc.?&nbsp; Were they put into collectors hands fresh off the presses at BEP ?&nbsp; Or did nobody care about them and many got destroyed, taken out of circulation, or their quality is very low and not anywhere near PMG 58 or higher? </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Hopefully this didn&#039;t confuse you all too much but I can clarify further if needed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
