Serial #H88888888C on the #8 district. About a decade ago the BEP got the idea that they should issue a series of $2 FRNs whose serial number started with 8888XXXX. These notes are known as "Lucky Money" and the BEP has sold out of these 2003A notes. Little did they know that overseas dealers would order thousands and thousands of these notes in hopes of finding one with serial #88888888. Sure enough, several have found their way back to the U.S. and today you have a chance to own one of them. Estimated Value $6,000 - 12,000
This Fr. 1938-H $2 2003A FRN Serial Number H88888888C has been graded PCGS 64PPQ, Very Choice New. It's a solid #88888888 on the #8 district. When the few other examples of these $2 FRN #88888888s have surfaced, prices paid have varied wildly from $8000 to $16,000. Only you can determine it's value, but we can tell you that you won't find a single one in dealer inventories or any for sale on eBay.
BEP issued Lucky Money Series from 2003A.

 
Realized $11,400
