Ultra Low Serial #'s

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1		Terrific Serial #D00000001C $1 FRN. This is a beautiful, high grade serial #1, a $1 1999 Federal Reserve Note bearing serial #D00000001C. PMG has graded this beautiful note 58 Choice About Uncirculated. Estimated Value $4,000 - 8,000 We've studied this holder and cannot see a reason why this note doesn't sit in a 63 EPQ slab. Perhaps the face centering is an issue, but in our opinion is belongs in a higher graded holder. Of all of the types of fancy serial numbered banknotes that exist, we strongly feel that serial number 00000001's are underpriced relative to solid serial numbers and ladder serial numbers.

Lot 2		Outstanding $1 1935E Silver Cert s/n Z00000002G. This wonderful note bears the ultra low serial number #2. This $1 1935E SC serial number Z00000002G has been graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. Estimated Value $1,500 - 3,000 So many Silver Certificates have centering issues but not this beauty. The face and back margins are superior to 90% of other examples you'll see on Silver Certificates from the 1935 era. We've seen pricing move up over the last two years considerably on serial #00000002s. They used to bring $800 to $1000, but now we've seen that price nearly double at auctions in 2022.

Lot 3		Ex. James W. "Billy" Key $1 1999 K00000003C. Bright, fresh, with super inking and punch through embossing. are all apt words to describe this wonderful banknote. While this $1 1999 FRN K00000003C has been graded PCGS 64PPQ Very Choice New, there's a strong argument that it belongs in a 65Q holder. Estimated Value $800 - 1,600 Notes from the Dallas district have always been popular and this dandy example bearing the ultra low serial number 00000003 will bring bidders out in force.

Lot 4		Fresh Choice CU $20 serial #00000003. PCGS has graded this 1999 $20 serial #BL00000003A Federal Reserve Note 63 PPQ Choice New. We love the "A" suffix letter on this note, which in our opinion makes it a bit more desirable than other suffix letters. Estimated Value $700 - 1,400 View details and enlarged photos	Realized $720
Lot 5		$1 1999 FRN s/n D00000004C. Like the serial number D00000001C featured earlier in the Black Horse Collection, this note has been graded PMG 58 EPQ Choice About Uncirculated. This $1 1999 FRN D00000004C exhibits no handling marks, no corner crimps or anything but off centering. We feel it warrants a higher grade than the one assigned. Estimated Value $600 - 1,200 This is a serial #4 printed on the #4 district which adds to the value of this lovely piece. D-4 is always a popular serial number combo. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $630
Lot 6		Choice New $1 1977 FRN s/n A00000004A. This is one terrific note. All collectors of low serial numbers are attracted to the A-A block and here we have a very special piece that will attract multiple collectors and dealers: A $1 1977 Federal Reserve Note Serial Number A00000004A graded PCGS 63 PPQ Choice New. Estimated Value $800 - 1,600 As many of you know, the BEP has a long standing policy of telling employees to pull the first 100 notes from each issue. This is especially applicable for the coveted A-A block which is often reserved for Treasury officials. Locating any low serial number on the A-A block is a real find. This A00000004A is one terrific piece. Take a look at the next lot that contains a $5 BA0000004A match to this note. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $690
Lot 7		Choice $5 1999 FRN BA00000004A. This $5 1999 Federal Reserve Note with s/n BA00000004A is graded PMG 64 EPQ Choice Uncirculated. Estimated Value $800 - 1,600 It's pretty impressive to find either the $1 A00000004A or the $5 BA00000004A but offering them together in a single auction is quite unexpected. We can't imagine that the winner of the previous lot wouldn't want to add this banknote to his or her collection. What a pair! This is the perfect match to the previous lot.

Lot 8		Lucky #8 on a $1 1899 SC. This is just a "killer" of a note that will draw strong attention from our overseas bidders. This $1 1899 Silver Certificate Fr. 232 bears the ultra low serial number N8N and has been graded PCGS 66 Gem New. Estimated Value $3,000 - 6,000 As most of you know, the number 8 is considering in several Oriental countries as bringing the owner good fortune, good luck or great wealth. Competition for any serial number consisting of only 8's in the serial number has been strong for decades. This specific note was last sold by Lyn Knight Currency Auctions on 6-14-2019 at $2643. Four years later it should bring significantly more at today's auction. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,480
Lot 9		Third cut sheet of $1 1899 SCs E9A, E10A, E11A, E12A. This lot will provide the new owner with a real trophy: $1 1899 SC Fr. 234 with the third lowest serial number cut sheet: E9A PCGS 63 Choice New, E10A PCGS 64 Very Choice New, E11A PCGS 65 PPQ Gem New, and E12A PCGS 64 PPQ Very Choice New. Estimated Value $8,000 - 16,000 PCGS notes that the serial number on the E9A: "BEP Corrected Misapplication of Serial Number Prefix". We assume this means that the E9A was mistakenly printed with a different prefix letter; the error was caught and the BEP corrected this mistake before releasing the note. This in our opinion neither ads nor subtracts from the value of this cut sheet, but certainly makes it unique. According to the Gengerke census of Large Size U.S. Type Motes, this is the lowest known intact four piece cut sheet and was last sold by Currency Auctions of America 5/2/1997: Lot 1825 @ $550. The set was subsequently broken up and then reconstructed over the past three decades. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $12,600
Lot 10		$1 1928A SC s/n U00000010A. This is the first of a super group of various denominations, all sharing the same serial #00000010. You are bidding on a $1 1928A Silver Certificate Serial Number U00000010A grade PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated. Estimated Value $300 - 600 PMG has noted there is a small stain on the back of this note. It is likely that the stain could be professionally removed for a nominal fee. Don't be surprised if this note realizes far more than our low bid estimate.

Lot 11		Perfect match to the other serial #00000010s in this group. Wonderful Gem Uncirculated Note. $1 1969B FRN L00000010B graded PMG 65 EPQ Gem Unc. This banknote looks so fine with the other notes in this same serial #10 group. Estimated Value $250 - 500 Serial #00000010s used to bring $100 less than five years ago. Today you likely won't find any for double that price. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $336
Lot 12		$10 1950A FRN G00000010C. Whenever a denomination matching serial number shows up, we see ever rising results at auctions.

Lot 15		*$100 1929 FRBN G00000010.** This is a very, very rare note in any grade, let alone PMG 58 Choice About Uncirculated.

Estimated Value $8,000 - 16,000 The last public auction appearance of this specific note at auction, according to Track and Price software states this note was sold by Heritage on 1-8-2010 for $5175. That was 13 years ago, and today's price will no doubt be significantly higher. We can't stress enough how rare this banknote is.
