inherited this from my father. He use to work with brand new money, right out of the wrapper many years ago, and came across this. He immediately put it away, and traded another $10 bill for it. It's never been folded or circulated. It's just been stored away by him, and never really handled. Any ideas about selling it, what it would be worth, or what to do with it? Should I send it out to be graded? Thanks!

I see no reason to get it graded because it's the serial number that makes it valuable.
I tried to find one like it for sale but I'm not having a lot of luck right now. It is worth a bit to be sure.
Maybe someone else has a better idea of the value.

Checking ebay's sold listings I found a 1988A $1 bill with solid ones for a serial number. It sold earlier this month for $840. I would assume that yours has to be worth ....$9 more.  |

Check with Executive Currency. They are always looking for stuff like this and are strong buyers.

Good thing humans don't think in binary ! Does it really matter what number base we think in? Decimal system is, after all, only a convention. This note would have a very jumbled number if we all thought in hexadecimal (16 single digit number base). |

I'd send it in for grading. It is WELL worth the expense. Plus, if it comes back as a higher uncirc grade, which it very well may - then it's possible this could be a really GREAT item.
This one really is worth the grading fee.

Holy moly, great note! I would recommend sending this off to get graded, no question about it. This would grade 63 with a shot at 64. My guess that this would bring over $1,000 easily at auction considering the date and condition. Please update us on what you decide to do with this note. Good luck!

Another suggestion: I would recommend contacting CoolSerialNumbers if you're serious about selling or pricing. They specialize in fancy serials.
