Would you return this?

OK...thanks for the clarification. So if they print up to 88882001 we may see notes 88882002 and higher in circulation?

Is really worth that much hassell getting what you want? just asking

 

Is there any extra value to the note itself? I don't see it as a rare item.

 

Maybe long term? They issued 8,888 Lucky Lion notes. Many of the other Lucky Money collection items have sold out so there is SOME demand for them. The recent 2011 $2 Single Note Collection is currently listed as "out of stock" with the number of sets issued at 2,000.

 

Well, they're selling 8,888 of the Lucky Lion notes. I don't know if they're using 88880001 to 88888888, or if they're just using 8,888 random notes somewhere between 88880000 and 88889999. If the former, then it's possible that 88888901 through 88889999 were put into circulation (probably back in 2005, shortly after they were printed). But my guess would be that the BEP probably held on to all 10,000 of the 8888xxxx serials and destroyed those that didn't go into this product.

 

You would need to be clairvoyant to accurately answer this, but the short answer might be maybe.
When the 1935A $1 Silver Certificate Experimental "R" & "S" notes (over a million of each) were released in 1944 who would have guessed that 60 some odd years later that uncirculated versions would be selling for 400 to 500 times face value. It's granted that all of these notes (Lucky Lion) are going directly into collectors hands, and "fancy" numbers have an immediate impact on value.......but I personally collect them for enjoyment and not as an investment. It's kinda comparable to Silver US Mint sets, some years are kinda ordinary, and some fetch a premium. Hope this helps.

 

It's like the Lottery! The only way to increase your odds is to buy more tickets... In this case cover your bases, and buy one of each
Still kicking myself for not getting the Dragonboat $50!!!! I'm surprised that no Series 2009 $100 is not in a premium set? I would buy that in a heartbeat!
