Fortunately, that is not the Devil's number. Too many 6's! I think the poor old Devil would get swamped with that many!

That is really something! While that one note would be the most valuable, I would think every one of them would go for at least a few bucks on ebay if you spread them out over a few months or a year or so

Wow! This is sure to bring some kind of huge premium if you sell it to an Asian buyer! I have a 13338888 note in F, folded into quarters, but someone gave me an offer equal to around $140 for it! 6s are considered lucky in Asian cultures!

$700 is not a good price to sell the entire strap for. If you have time to find the right buyer you could see the solid note alone sell for more then that. Google fancy/solid notes, alot of the websites that specificly sell solid notes often offer a sell optin to sell your note to them. ebay is another option, you can see what those sites will offer you, list it on ebay with that reserve plus %13 to cover ebay/paypal fees. Having it graded will also bring up the premium on it.

at 1$ investment id sell for 700$
these are more of novelty collectors pieces.
You may think its a 1 in a million note.
But how many note series are printed each year and a soild number notes comes up year after year on 1.5.10 20 50 and 100 notes
people can " asking /buy it now " does not mean someone will ever buy it . But being a 1$ investment you can also keep it as long as you like trying to find a high paying bidder becuase your holding cost is only 1 $

Well, I guess even "53452791" is a rare serial number.  Solid notes with 8 digits are about 10 in 100,000,000, or one in ten million!

Bet you wouldn't have a problem selling it for that kind of money!
There are some die hard collectors out there and if the number 6 has anything to do with luck, personal favorite, culture, etc - it will go for sick money.
If I remember correctly, a note with all 8's sold for $300,000 a few years ago to a Chinese collector. I think 8's have a special meaning to them.
