Title: 1973 $1 no serial number
Post by: moneycow on November 25, 2006, 01:25:45 am

...and apparently not a centennial note.

I struck up a conversation with the liquor store lady the other day.  She said about 25 years ago she received as change and number of 1 dollar bills.  She claimed one of them did not have any serial numbers.  Before I could ask the obvious question, she added, that it wasn't a centennial note.
She still has the note in a safety deposit box.  I don't imagine it's in pristine condition.

I haven't seen it yet.  How common is this type of error?  

thanks

well it may have a date on it saying 1867-1967 they are not very rare and can be bought at face vaule in bad shape. But if its missing that as well it would be worth alot of money.

A 1973 $1 with no serial numbers sold on ebay last week for a little over $500.00.  The seller said it was unc but they always say that.

Including that one from last week I've heard of four and I guess five now if the liquor store lady really has one.

Here is a scan of the one I own.

Thanks all,
Based on Gary only hearing of 4 I'm going to classify this as highly unlikely.  Still curious though so I'll follow up.
