Lot 7
Coveted $1 1928A SC serial #P77777777A. Three $1 1928 era Silver Certificates are known with serial #77777777, and this note is encased in a PMG 58 holder. The others are a 1928A: P77777777A PMG 63EPQ sold by Heritage eleven years ago at $3737, and a $1 1928B H77777777B raw, assumed at least AU, featured in a Bank Note Reporter article back in 1998. We believe this rarity will easily bring $6,000 to $10,000 or more in today's auction. Estimated Value $6,000 - 10,000
The demand for serial #77777777 has exploded over the past decade with several collectors all chasing this number. It may have something to do with all sevens being a lucky number at casinos, but we're not sure. What we can confirm is that prices realized for serial #77777777 bring a 30 to 80% premium over serial numbers 22222222 - 66666666, Even if the known population of them is similar, the same price realization repeats itself. With only three solid serial #77777777s known in this era, we expect strong competition on this note.
Ex. Mel Wilmore Collection, sold in the spring of 2014 by Lyn Knight Currency Auctions, and ex. John Whitney Walter Collection sold in November 2004.
