If it's not included in this list then it's HIGHLY unlikely to have a premium.
LOW and FANCY SERIAL NUMBERS.
General Comments
Quoted values are for Choice Crisp Uncirculated (CHCU)
Higher face values sometimes get a higher premium BUT not in proportion to face values. A $100 face note does NOT get 100 times the premium of a $1 face note. The factor is more on the order of 2 times.
Special exceptions have a significantly higher value.
Low Numbers - The lower, the better.
Single-digit numbers.
00000001 through 00000009
Range - $500 to $1,500 depending on face value (with a few special exceptions)
Two-digit numbers.
00000010 through 00000099
Range - $200 - $300 depending on face value
Solid Serial Numbers
All have a significant premium.
