I know absolutely nothing about world money but I do know when serial numbers are sequenced like that it does mean something....am I right? help me!!!!! He said to just make him an offer for all the bills but I don't know how much I should offer.... Edited by AshleyG 11/16/2021 10:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The note you've shown might be considered a minor type of "fancy" serial number (vs. "sequenced") by some, but it is unlikely to carry much, if any, value premium - especially in the heavily circulated condition shown. A fancy serial number such as "663663" (a Repeater) or "663366" (a Radar Repeater) would definitely be of more interest to note collectors. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

AshleyG Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 2:55 pm Commons thank you for informing me of that. He wants $200 for all those bills but they are all well circulated and I look up all the serial numbers and they were just so so for the most part so I don't think it's worth that money at all. Thank you for your help I appreciate it Report this Post to the Staff

Unless one of these notes happens to have serial number 000002 or something like that, the collectability would be based on rarity and quality of the notes. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12820 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 3:54 pm Given the condition of these notes, $200 seems excessive to say the least. At first glance anyway. Would need to spend some time to go through them as there may be some notes that are worth something. Some of the world note experts here can probably tell you without having to research as I would.

Orac Valued Member United Kingdom 150 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 4:07 pm I don't see anything of much value there, $20 for the lot would be more realistic imho. Grade is too low. Report this Post to the Staff
walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2577 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 6:15 pm with commems & "Orac" although I'm not sure $20 would be appropriate value for the lot. After all, there is one note which may fetch that alone as it appears to be a ONE DOLLAR from Malaya & British Borneo: http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/c.../MBB0001.htm & for reasons which completely elude me, these notes are white hot on the market right now. The photograph & condition of this lot is far too poor/sketchy to make a decent "gestimate" of what these would be worth but $200 is definitely way too high. My motto is "if in doubt" back away (& always go for the best condition you can afford). At least ask for a list of the notes, the apparent grades & some justification for the price he/she desires. You could spend that $200 on a lot better notes IMO. (On a side note, I see no premium on the note from Laos & agree that appeal for special serial numbers has not really hit the world currency market) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff
