$1 1995 PCGS 66PPQ #B55555555X. An outstanding note for your consideration. The BEP has rarely printed the X suffix over the years and collector gravitate towards this when it is available. This Fr. 1921-B $1 1995 FRN serial #B55555555X has been graded Gem New PCGS 66PQ. It is absolutely stunning. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500
An interesting comment about grading vs. value of Solid Serial Numbered notes. The premium in value for a 65, 66, 67 and 68 (vs. a 63 or 64) is no where as high as one generally finds in the world of numismatics. For example, let's say a $1 FRN serial #44444444 in 64PPQ might bring $1500 at auction, a 65PPQ might only bring $100 to $200 more, a 66PPQ might bring only $300 to $400 more and a 67PPQ might realize only $400 to $500 more than a 64. In the world of coins, we'd be looking at the 67 bringing MULTIPLES of what a 64 would bring at auction. So if you can win these high grade banknotes at a relatively small increase over their lower graded cousins, you are in our opinion, securing relative bargains.
