Superb Gem $100 2009A LC01234567*. This $100 2009A FRN bears the serial number LC01234567* Ladder Serial Number. Dozens of collectors will want this note, but only one will exhibit the perseverance to obtain it. This piece should bring a run-away price as it truly is one of the premier notes from The Lunchbox Journeys Collection of Special Serial Numbered Notes. Estimated Value $6,000 - 12,000
This is the type of note that comes along once every ten years or so. Fancy serial numbered $100 stars virtually always trade hands behind the scenes and rarely make it to auction. The demand is so heavy that most dealers immediately know where to go to sell them, the moment they arrive. While $100 solid serial numbers are rare, this beauty is in a different league. Solid s/n $100s are bringing $4000 to $10,000 right now. Our bid range may prove far too low with this ultra rare STAR ladder note.
Remember that perhaps 80% of the $100 FRNs printed each year by the BEP are shipped overseas. So even though one sees inside the monthly BEP production reports that over 100,000,000 are printed monthly, the majority of them go to foreign central banks. The number of $100 stars printed vs. regular notes is just a tiny fraction.making $100 stars quite elusive.
