Ok, I used to work in a bank. We got a shipment of brand new ones in. I looked at the batch of serial numbers and realized a solid was in there. Didnt know what it was worth but kept it in an envelope in a book. Un bent un touched for about 2 years now. Brought it up in a conversation with some coin collectors and they said it would be worth something but they didnt know what.
Its a dollar from like 2006 maybe, new, Mint condition. Dont remember the letters on it, its up stored in my attic so I cant just grab it but its ALL 7s. Any educated guesses as to what its worth?
This would really help me out! Thanks!

It's worth what someone will pay and it's a lot more than a dollar.
I can start digging into that later.
For NOW though. Get it out of your attic and in a proper holder!
Straight sevens is sought after but improper storage will only decrease the price it might bring.

it being all 7's will make it worth more than say if it were all 4's because a 7 is believed to be a lucky number and that alone would probably make it bring a little more than others

btothertotheent, First let me say to CCF. I also would like to see a photo but I suggest you get the note out of your attic as soon as possible because of the extreme temperature changes reeks havoc on it.I think you should also put it in a proper currency holder right away, they only cost around fifty cents. As far as value goes it depends on how much some body wants it,notes with sevens are very desirable. Hope this helps. John1 |

Ok, I will head to a coin shop today to try and get a holder for it. But any like estimates on prices? On ebay I found a few similar dollars ranging around $2000. Does that sound right? I got the dollar out and its still looks like the day I peeled it out of the fed wrapped dollar shipment! :) I was thinking it couldnt be more than 100 bucks but any ideas would be awsome since I have no clue. I will upload a pic as probably tomorrow for you guys.... :) |

I think the value will be somewhere between $100-$200.

Far from an expert, but I would guess between $500 - $1000. There was a $1 solid 5's that recently closed on ebay for $700. solid 7's are probably more collectable than solid 5's so you might get more. |

I could see the original strap of 100 selling for $2500-4000. The individual bill I don't think would go as high as $2000. I've been surprised before though.

Work up a high profile title for the auction, set it
no reserve, start the bidding at .99c, and do at least
a 7 day auction... and let it go. With that sort of
incentive, it could possibly bring a grand.
Great find.

Thanks! I did put the bill in a hard plastic bill case. Now I was thinking.... should I bother to get it Pcgs rated? I know its uncirculated from where I got it and expect it will have the highest possible rating. Do you think it would be worth it, maybe bring a higher selling price? I think it costs about 10-15 dollars for a single bill if I go through a coin dealer friend I have. I am taking pictures of the bill tomorrow as I found I left my digital cam charger at my parents house from the last time I was there lol. I will upload, after I take the pics for you viewing pleasure....  |

This is the first and maybe only time you will see this in writing from me: I believe that you should get it graded. Your investment of 15-20 dollars will likely be repaid with a stronger sale, and your bill will be protected. Looking forward to pictures/scans.
