To hit an 8-digit radar is very, very, very hard. I can tell you this:
Their printed commonality is
1 in
11,111 notes.
I consider them to be rare!
If I was you I'd hold onto it (if you can you just leave a $50 in your collection with no worries then do it)
I recently brought some notes from the IAG auctions, they were $5. The notes were:
8-digit radar: UNC 1998 $5 CG98888889 cost $67.50 (13.5 times face value)
Normal radar: UNC 2001 (Federation) $5 IF01 788887 cost $17.50 (3.5 times FV)
On
ebay recently here are some results:
5 x $5 8-digit radar UNC notes: ($375 so
$75 each)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Macfarlan...em43af8ae3be1 x $5 8-digit radar UNC note: (
$80)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Macfarlan...em46037ad35a2 x $5 8-digit radar UNC notes with nicer serials (
03333330; described as central solid, similar to what I brought): (
$150 each):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-8-Digit-R...em43acccf89dI guess from denomination to denomination will determine the price, but on top of that too, serial numbers can have a huge impact in determining the price:
In the past I brought an UNC 1998 $50 BK98888889 for $260ish (5.25 times FV), at the same time I brought an UNC 1997 $50 ?97777779 for $225ish (4.5 times FV). The reason the 98888889 was more was because I purchased it in a pair with it's consecutive so 98888888 & 98888889 together for $600 odd from memory. Whereas I also brought 97777777 & 97777779 which overall was about $100 cheaper. This purchase brought on my passion for $50's, polymers & pretty serial numbers.
As for your Fine circulated condition, I'd expect that it might sell it for around: $75-$100 tops. As rare as it is, it'll still only attract a certain market especially in Fine/circulated condition.
Whereas, some other serials would attract a much higher premium. I have three nice notes I have found in circulation which would fetch a nice high premium (even in circulated condition):
- $10 AA06 000004
- $20 --06 000060
- $50 CG06 123456
It's still a ripper note, so don't let go of it in a hurry.
Not something I would buy now, because I'm fine tuning my collection as much as I can, but in the past it'd be of huge interest to me.
(if I put ? or -- as prefixes, it's simply because I've forgotten the prefix)
