A friend at work has this pair of bills. I'm posting it here so he can see your comments. Please tell him what he has got. Wa da ya think?
Very nice error in trimming at the BEP. As long as the 2 remain together you've got a sweet collectable piece of paper money. Added benefits are a star note, fairly low serial number, crisp uncirculated bill and the same serial number with 100 being the difference. I want one myself.
Really nice but you should of posted on the Paper Money Forum.. I'm sure everyone will see this though
Perhaps you folks could give my friend some ideas about where he could sell it. He does not collect himself. I suggested he contact Len's coins. What do you think about his listing it on Ebay? In your opinion, are either of these good venues to sell his bills? One option might be for me to post it in the CT buy/sell section.
I've asked my friend to avoid handling the notes in any way. He will certainly not be folding the notes to take more photos right now. The notes are a perfect match & a crisp fold line can be seen (as depicted here).
a coin store is DEFINATELY not an option. if they know what it is they would probably offer 10% of its actual worth.
I'm not so sure about this item since these bills can be ordered from the BEP in 32 note uncut sheets. Sure, the serial number is low and they are star notes but I'm always suspicious of oddly cut $1 notes. OP did your friend indicate where he'd acquired the notes?
The uncut sheet note serial numbers start with 996 and higher I believe It has to do with how notes are printed in batches of 40,000 sheets and numbers starting with the high numbers and counting down, not up. The 40000 sheets don't go evenly into 99999999 notes and the numbers from I think it was 99640000 and up is a partial run used for the full sheets.
