Hi all. My friend has one of these sets and doesn't speak a lot of English so he has asked me to help him sell it. From what I have researched, these are 1996 series bills with low and matched serial numbers from the 12 reserve banks. Does anyone know if/ where interest might be in something like this?
TIA

Welcome to CCF. Approximately 2000 of these low/matched serial number sets were sold. Prices vary from $350 - $500 depending mostly on the serial number. I've seen completed auctions on both ebay and Heritage. They are series 1996, when the $20 received a major design change, from small portrait to large portrait and double letters preceding the serial number. They really don't come up for sale/auction that often. What is the serial number of your friends set ?

Thanks for the quick responses. I contacted Heritage and the value is too low for them to handle. I have bought from ebay before but have not sold so I am afraid my lack of history would scare off potential buyers. Here are a couple of photos I took when he showed me the set.

Set number 1886...unfortunately the serial number is somewhat unremarkable. I also rarely sell on ebay, and would probably search for a completed auction of a similar set and use their description with your photos and serial numbers.

These are more novelty than collectable. I have a feeling that by the time you are done paying ebay and PayPal fees, you may not even get face value.

Quote: These are more novelty than collectible I agree, but imagine ordering a set and getting all 12 districts with serial number 00001234 or 00000099 ....
