Title: Is a serial number 8222222 of interest to collectors?
Post by: Rupiah on October 04, 2014, 05:19:20 pm

I have run into a banknote with a serial number of 8222222 in $50 denomination. I would consider its condition to be well circulated VF-VG.

I have read somewhere that some collectors may be interested in numbers that are close to solid. However numerically the above number is much further away from a solid 8.

Would such a serial number be of interest to collectors?

Thank you.

These types of notes are interesting and they are pretty much as close must of us get to solid radars. I have a $5 note that is #35555555 and 0090000.

Near-solid serial numbers like 8222222 are definitely of interest to some collectors of interesting serial numbers.  However, since it is on a high denomination note ($50) and in very circulated grade, it would be very hard to sell.  And by "sell", I mean profitably.
