Some call numbers like this semi solid but IMO it is just an interesting number ,i'd keep it if I came across it.
I won't get up on that high horse ( with my luck of late i'd probably fall off it LOL ) about Semi & Near tonight as I think most here know my opinion on that LOL/
The 10 cent would also be a keeper,pics would be good though.

I don't mean to start a debate, but would you agree that the less digits a serial has, the more chance you have to find what we refer to as a "low" serial. I mean, I can totally understand that for modern US currency, which has 8 digit serials, it is rather rare to come across a serial under 1000. However, I'm not sure if we could say the same about currencies which have less digits, like 4, 5 or even 6. This is why I'm wondering if we can call 000999 a low serial.

You've found one of the early undated Fraser/Cole polymers issued in 1992, with a low serial number.
The biggest surprise is that it was [still/put back] in circulation.

The fewer digits there are the lower the SN needs to be to be considered low. On a US note (I) consider less then 1000 as low. Of course the lower the SN the better. John1  |

Sorry I completely forgot to mention the serial number. A nice low serial & at the same time also what some call a semi-solid serial. To find that in circulation, my assumption would be maybe someone did hoard it for a while & then let it go. Generally if you find a original colour $5 note it's either just about past it's useable status or nice enough (VF or above) to keep.

Is that a good price considering their condition? Personally, I would consider them a good deal at that price only if they are UNC.

I really don't keep up with the prices of notes in the last few years so I would'nt really know to be completely honest.

Hi jj and  to CCF. Your $5 note is well worth keeping and it's value is dependent upon several factors including the actual serial number and the colour of the serial number. McDonalds 2012 edition identifies it's value varying dependant upon its condition and weather it has a medium to dark green serial or a pale green serial number. It is a general prefixed note and ranges from $6 for a Fine through to $45 for an Uncirculated with a medium to dark green serial number. For a pale green serial its value ranges from $9 through to $110. The notes serial is a low number so this would also add to its value I reckon. It's a pity it isn't a last prefix in pale green (AB 19), it would be worth $2,650. These values are an indication only and generally speaking are, in my opinion, overstated by around 10 to 20%. To get a rough idea what your note is worth you could try e-bay. |

The 1985 10c is a planchett flaw, not a die crack. 1985 10c is very low mintage and worth a bit on its own.

The problem with buying notes online, is that it's so easy to cover up creases when you scan a note or take a photo of a note. Whenever I sell a note online, I grade it & list thoses grading characteristics along with a great angled shot to really see what the note looks like.  My opinion is that notes are much more precious than coins. If your coin storage bends, the coin's note going to bend with it, but if your note storage bends, you've turned you UNC note into aUNC or EF depending on how bad the crease is. Notes are so delicate. I've creased a couple first prefixes completely by accident & you just curse knowing that you've killed your grade. But once you've handled many-a-note you know how to caress one. As for the prices of those other notes...can you see the true condition? He does offer free registered postage which is great...price...how bad do you want it? You can always come across one yourself, but it takes alot of time. |
