$5 1981 A11111111B Gem New. Fr, 1976-A $5 1981 A11111111B PCGS 65PQ. Here's a note that should bring a major realization today for several reasons: It's a solid serial #11111111 printed on the #1 district. It's a small head $5 FRN which have 99.99% been eliminated from general circulation. It's sitting in a PCGS 65PPQ holder. This Fr. 1976-A is a note that any special serial number collector would drool over. You just won't find notes like this (with these attributes) offered at auction for another decade or more. The collector in me has my heart pounding when I look at this note. Estimated Value $2,000 - 4,000
The $5, $10, and $20 Federal Reserve Note re-designed "Big Heads" began back with 1996 $20 notes….changing them over to the non colorized Big Head designs. The $5 re-design came in with the 1999 series. This note's old small head design and the nine that follow will never be printed again. As a person that has chased fancy serial numbers for 55 years, I can tell you that locating any $5 small head FRN with solid serial #A11111111 is like winning the lottery.
