I made a topic of this here, but it got moved to the tokens and medals forum for some reason, so I'll post it here because it was issued by a bank and in a sense is considered paper money. Picked this up on Heritage.. "The owner of this 1919 issued stock certificate was The Dollar Savings Bank, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The vignette is of Prince, who was the pet of the president of the bank in the 1890s, T.H. Given. Blind embossed stamps for both banks are at bottom center on this stock certificate printed by the ABNCo"   |

So, could you give us a general idea of what someone might have to pay for a note like this? I apologize I meant to answer in previous post; one like this you can usually find in the $8-$20 range, depending on dealer.

tech - Thanks. Always curious about stuff I know zero about. I know this is probably a stupid question, but there are almost endless possible permutations of serial numbers like this. What sort of categorical guidelines do collectors of radar notes use? Or is one just as interesting as the next?  Edited by Coinfrog

IMO it's sellers trying to stretch profits on already thin margins by manufacturing scarcity.
I can see premiums for very low SNs (sub - 100), solid #'s (11111111, 88888888, etc.), binaries (10101010, 69696969, etc.), straights (12345678, 87654321, etc.)
But birthday SNs, mini ladders, mini radars, etc. are a stretch to me.
But, to each his own I suppose. I don't begrudge anyone who wants to collect serial numbers. Collect how and what you like to collect!

Not sure how to answer but some collectors look for: 1. radar notes with just two different digits 2. radar notes with 2,4, or 6 same center digits 3. radar notes with same number from different Districts 4. and so on and so on Personal preference prevails.

Wow. I guess I have to ask, is there any sort of organized resale market out there for such notes? Or is this still just an area for enthusiastic collectors?  Edited by Coinfrog

I would expect the latter but I don't think you're asking me. Celtic Knot,good answer. There are dealers who have categories of notes like these called "Special Serial Numbers", in that category you will usually find these radar notes; others have a specific 'Radar Notes' category. You can search ebay for 'radar' in Coins and Paper Money and get LOTS of entries. |

@techwriter, that's my big beef with ebay FRN sales right now. There is no "normal" note to be found from a serial number perspective (at least, not for the ones I'm looking for). Ok, that's probably a bit of an exaggeration but there seems to be an (artificial) market for serial numbers. I understand the allure but for heaven's sake, there are millions of notes out there. They can't all have fascinating SNs. In another post I mentioned that I can't find a 1981 or 1981A note for a reasonable price because every note is some special note. It's graded (fine, not my thing right now) or "rare" because it was chopped from a sheet or it's got an "amazing" SN. I just want a crisp example for less than ridiculous (and yes, I do have an idea what "ridiculous" is for an ungraded note). |

Celtic Knot, try the "Member ebay Sales" button and see what may be available. Also you might try my friend Bob Azpiazu's site: http://www.fstctycurr.com/
