<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 3902285, member: 73489&quot;]Something I&#039;ve been wondering about as I chase &quot;low&quot; serial numbers that are &lt;1,000....<i><b>what happened to all the super-low SN&#039;s from past decades going back to the days of the Large and Small Currency years almost 100 years ago ? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>People collected bills like coins back then...I would think that the equivalent of a 1st printing (a super-low SN) would have been something that everyone preserved and sought rather than let it go into circulation ?&nbsp; Maybe that happens NOW given that even a modern bill that has a SN &lt; 10 could be worth 100-500x face value.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>But what about all the different Fed District printings of Gold Certificates, Silver Certificates, Hawaii Notes, North Africa, etc., from 75-100 years ago ?</i> <i>Did nobody think they were going to be worth that much (like baseball cards) and there wasn&#039;t a concerted effort to hoard and preserve them ?&nbsp; Do we assume they were circulated and eventually in condition that wasn&#039;t worth much $$$ or just retired out of circulation ?</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>I<u>magine for your favorite type of bill....seeing SN&#039;s 00000001, 00000002, 00000003, etc....all showing up in PMG 65 or higher condition (even EF45 or higher would still be nice).&nbsp; Someone must know what happened to all the super-low SN&#039;s for all the printings going back to the 1920&#039;s-1950&#039;s.</u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
