Nice find. The condition would really bring down the value though.

That's an amazing find. I searched several thousand Journey & polymer notes & never found a million # note. I even won a 7 million # upgraded Journey Ten (in VF) & paid far more than I should have but got caught up in a bidding duel (& won). The thing is collectors don't really recognize how hard million # notes are (& how seldom they're offered). So you gotta take the Charlton book values with a grain of salt for certain special serial numbers.

I asked my wife if she had a FIVE I could borrow for some postage & she handed me this about 10 years ago:

-which I call a thousand # note & is another tough one to come across. About 26 years ago, when I got back in the hobby I really wanted a thousand # note & discovered they go for about double what a normal 2 digit radar sells for (at least double BV or more). So, yeah, check your numbers!

Thanks everyone, it was quite a surprise and exciting to find even in its poor condition.
