Title: Worth holding on to?
Post by: mclayton1190 on August 10, 2012, 07:21:18 am

Hi Gang,
I was just curious if anyone could tell me if these notes would be worth holding on to? If not back to the bank they go  :P ;D

Well, 3111113 is a nice two-digit radar.  You can fairly easily sell that for a reasonable premium.

The next best is 3111111 as it contains six 1's.  Some people go nuts over that stuff, so I'm sure you can find a buyer.

The other two contain five 1's.  Again, some people like that, but you don't see the kind of interest that you do with the previous note.

In my opinion, all four are worth hanging onto (as opposed to depositing them).

Cheers

Thanks BWJM

I am curious as to a value, I wonder if it would be worth putting them in the trading post. I used to work in a manual cash branch @ TD, I have a few neat bills at home i should look into. My fav is my 1975 $100 Lawson replacement :).. I have tonnes of radars as well. Thanks for your help :)

Not that much except for the 2 digit radar note which is worth $170 in UNC. The others will be worth around $120 in UNC or maybe slightly more because of the neat numbers (really depending on what a buyer is willing to pay).

Here Is another I wanted to ask about, she's 1937, No special serial, and fairly beat up. Only good thing is that its 1937, Keeper or deposit?

This note is in bad shape so its not worth much above its face value.

I would hold on to the '37.  You might be able to trade it for something else if you can afford to sit on $100.  Obtaining notes at face value is how many of us got into the hobby without having to pay a huge premium for UNC notes.

Cheers,
Dean
