The confusion Nick, is this: Reserve of $2500..... reserve not met at $1975..... the only note in the pack worth more than face was the solid note.... so someone is now selling the solid note for $1475 (with probably hopes of making a profit), with 99 notes left worth $1 each..... I did the math, it doesn't make sense to me..... I'm not good with numbers though (as you know).

I'm with Lou (may I call you Lou?  ) on this one. So yes, he sold it at an undisclosed price. The whole strap that is. Now, the buyer is trying to sell the single note by itself for 1475? Maybe he/she thinks the other bills will also carry a premium? |

on CU there is already interest in other notes in the strap that I know is in there if the owner wants to sell them as well

FWIW, MOST notes in that strap WILL contain a premium to the right buyer making sets of numbers. Most dealers like Jim (the one bought it) will know of folks collecting 6's and will sell it off piece by piece over a period of time. Of course none of this will make any sense to folks who DO NOT collect number sets.  solid6s Congrat's on the sale. |

I am pretty confident that I have been called every name under the sun and moon, so yes, Lou is to my liking.... Quote:

Even though Ceylon said it best, that was my train of thought. I guess I just expected you to read my mind and know that those other notes DO have value. That dealer probably paid what Solid wanted (I would have to believe) or the strap wouldn't of been sold (again, I am speculating). Those other notes will be given loving homes at more than face, possibly a lot more because people do collect numbers and are willing to pay a lot to complete sets. |

If I remember correctly, a note with all 8's sold for $300,000 a few years ago to a Chinese collector. I think 8's have a special meaning to them. 8s are lucky, 4s sound like "death". http://www.moneyfactory.gov pulls 8888+ notes before they are issued, and sells them at a premium. |

Thanks Ceylon...After not hearing the end of it from my wife...I sold the strap to Jim. I'm sure he will double his money on it...at least. He could easily sell each note for at least $10-$20 each...and the solid...who knows? I made a lot of money on it so I'm happy.

Solids, you are welcome. It will take him a longgg time to sell it off. Some of the notes will move rather quickly other will be a slowwww crawl. For instance who would want something like 6666 6638? It's not as easy as some think and once the strap is broken it becomes a totally different game. edit to add Are you going to start collecting fancy sn's or currency now that you came in with a bang?

Bryan is right...that number will remain between Jim and I. ..sorry guys. Ceylon...i have always looked at the money in my pocket and will continue to do so...i really did not want to sell the strap, but my wife is right...you cant turn down that kind of money for money that is only "worth" $100. I'm sure all of those bills will find happy homes for much more then they are "worth". Maybe the same bank where I got that strap from has 7777777? ;-) wouldn't that be cool? But to answer your question...i will always look, I doubt I will keep much....if I was a keeper I would/should have kept that strap. A part of me is sad that I parted with it, because I doubt I will ever have something like that in my hands again for face value. But then again...the money I made on it is nice to have in my hands as well. ;-)
