Which Notes To Have Graded?

Zee,
The link with the graded (70) notes are a joke. Someone is just putting them in some sort of thingy and selling them.

The 50 star is a "collectible" and as such carries the premium. But the premium is "capped" and one needs to research and come to one's own conclusions as to why.

I would disagree on this -- "certain" 640K or less run stars and "Fancy SN's" are worth premiums. BUT one needs to spend time and research these issues by themselves as most of the books are wrong so to say when it comes to some of these pricing issues. As I have stated before ebay is NOT a good price discovery mechanism.

FWIW, the error note I mentioned earlier in this topic "should" have gone a LOT higher but was overlooked for some reason. In some ways I felt bad for the seller.

Lastly, some notes "MUST" be graded -- ink errors, rare notes etc to remove any "doubt" so that it can be authenticated. Also "preservation" comes to mind for older notes (SN 00001000) and even something like this note below.

Bill, the ONLY thing that I can think of is that CGA will grade notes for $20, $25, or $50 each depending upon your desired turnaround time.....However, they will also grade notes for $10 each, but a minimum submission of 25 notes is required to qualify for that $10 rate......the wise submitter who is pressed for time (and had only 22 or 24 notes to have graded), may have just added this one into the submission to achieve that 25 note minimum, thereby saving a bunch of fees on grading.....Just my most logical guess...

If it were me, I'd make that new home the cash register at the gas station.....but you might want to wait a few days as am not familiar with newer notes, and someone else here might see something that I do not.

edited to add:

Or, you might list it on ebay, talking up the fact that it is a series 2003 Chicago note of the D-A block.....you never know....some folks will buy anything, (including a holder)....

zeewool,
I realize that it's worth nothing but $ 10., but I collect notes by year and type, at this time I have a complete Small Size year set of $ 10. FRN's from the first year, 1928, to 2006. The only reason I bought it was because I did not have a 2003. I don't doubt that most any post 1995 FRN isn't worth much of anything other than face value, but it fills the hole in the album and it's looks nicer in the album than setting in the bank account.

I don't think anybody here would question zee's knowledge. I think zee'z was joking around about the 'man' part lol

Don't give it a second thought Bill, it really shouldn't matter to anyone here anyway.

Interesting preferences Numiseye..... I like them all too, (but really) the Demand Notes that you refer to are a one year issue, and that year was 1861 (not 1864).... also, the one-year Interest Bearing Notes that you refer to are not anywhere near the rarest of all issues of American currency....they would not even rate in the top ten.....If you have questions about large size notes, feel free to ask, I might have answers.

So what was the aftermath Bill? Is it now in the album or still in the holder?
