ilzho Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 7:01 pm Hello: I have a 2004 $20 bill in uncirculated condition and a friend said to get it slabbed as it's a low serial number. I do not think it's low enough? 00002658 A. Is a bill this low worth it or not? Still learning..... Thank you, David Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan78 Pillar of the Community United States 1068 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 7:42 pm Generally, anything below 100 would be considered a low number bill... For a 2004 series note, it looks like it is uncirculated... Report this Post to the Staff
SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 7:43 pm These 2004 low serial numbered $20's are available as singles for $45, or as a complete set (12) for $479 at the BEP Money store. I bought a set back in 2009, and several were 3 digit notes. One of the most important things you need to do after receiving these is to remove them from the BEP folder they come in. When in the folder, the notes reside in holders that slide under cutouts in the corners. If left in the holder for long, the corners of the notes will get a permanent crease. I have not had any of mine graded. http://www.moneyfactorystore.gov/se...lection.aspx Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 9:11 pm When you feel that the denomination is low enough to tolerate the loss of value due to inflation over future decades, to justify the value of the notaphilic* premium. * Refers to notes; 'numismatic' refers to coins. Notaphily is the love, study and collection of paper currency. Edited by sel_69l 04/27/2016 9:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tech418 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 10:52 pm Good point about the corners. I have a couple millennium notes that are ruined because of the creasing. But... They are still cool Report this Post to the Staff
GoldenChest Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 04/29/2016 12:05 pm Thanks sel, for that tidbit about notaphillic. Learned something new. Personally I'd keep the note. 4 zeros is good enough for me as long as it's still in decent shape. The corners do looks a bit rough tho. Report this Post to the Staff
