barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5850 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 3:03 pm Relatively low serial number (00721210), decent condition and, of course, it's a star note. On the other hand, it is a $50 note, which is a lot of money to tie up if it's only worth $52 or so, you know?

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5850 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 3:48 pm @SteveinTampa: How "small" is a "small premium"? I got this in a stack of bills I picked up at the bank to spend at a coin show I'm going to at the end of the month. I'll probably stick it at the bottom of the pile and if I don't end up using it I'll just stick it in a sleeve and hold onto it.

jonjrl1963 Valued Member United States 235 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 6:15 pm AU or CU yesssss....vf or so, I'd spend it. Most looking for a 1963A $50.00 aren't looking for a VF. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 6:30 pm Most collectors of high denomination small-size notes prefer them uncirculated. This had a print run of 320,000 and is still easily found in new condition. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 8:10 pm To me, it would be a keeper unless I really needed 50 bucks to spend on something I could certainly count on appreciating better in value. People buy them ebay completed sales https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...H_Complete=1 Edited by TNG 07/15/2021 8:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 8:23 pm Heck they do buy them. But those are in better grades. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 9:40 pm Due to the fact that it has a high face value, and if not in pristine condition, it has to be a spender, unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7027 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 11:05 pm Pink writing on the right border makes it a spender for me Report this Post to the Staff
CoolBreeze Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 01:37 am I'm of the same opinion as Greasy Fingers on this one. The pink writing in the right margin makes it a spender. It's like Coinfrog pointed out, it's a low production note but there are plenty of new ones out there. Report this Post to the Staff
