Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 12/07/2023 8:35 pm Came across this note recently and kind of liked it. Condition isn't great, but it's a fairly low number star note. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2333 Posts	Posted 12/07/2023 9:08 pm I don't know enough about currency...but I sure do like to watch and learn... what does the reverse/back look like...? I'm not sure about the "low serial #"...? But I was under the impression that low serial #'s where 3 digits or less...? I could/probably be wrong...? smat Edited by smat45 12/07/2023 9:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 12/07/2023 9:15 pm That's a ferderal reserve bank note for St. Louis and it's also a replacement, you are talking $300-$500 based on the guides in fine condition. You have what I would call a keeper. The serial number isn't really low and for this rather rare note it's not worth any premium for the serial number.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/07/2023 9:24 pm Agree, tough note but not in the best condition, $300+ seems a fair value. Not a low serial number. Report this Post to the Staff
SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 12/07/2023 10:27 pm I agree with both Helder and Mr.Frog. Does "came across" mean you saw the note, bought the note or found the note ? Report this Post to the Staff

Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 8:37 pm Got it. Almost got knocked out by a dealer, but ended up paying $195 including shipping. Was willing to go a bit higher, but glad I didn't have to. Report this Post to the Staff

Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 9:09 pm I thought so too, hfjacinto. Looked like at least a 15 to me. Be interesting to see in-hand. I'll repost pictures when it arrives. I feel the price I paid was quite fair. Report this Post to the Staff
