<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1146101, member: 24633"]In 1976, a grandmother in California went to the bank to get a couple of the new Bicentennial $2 notes to put away for her grandson. Immediately, she put the crisp, new notes into an envelope where they remained until a couple of years ago. When the grandson opened the envelope, he discovered that they were consecutive serial numbers from the San Francisco FRB, 00000001* & 00000002*. They were placed at auction at one of the major houses where they sold for about $29K & $9K respectively. It's amazing that one single digit difference between the two of them was worth $20K. Had the grandmother known anything about collecting paper money, she would have been smart to buy the entire pack.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
