Lot 9
Finest known $1 1928A SC H99999999A. This breath taking ultra high serial number will likely bring as much as any other solid serial numbered small size note in this sale. Although the population of known serial #99999999s in higher than any of the other numbers available, the demand continues very strong. The other known solid serial # 99999999s in this era are all graded 58 to 65, making this Fr. 1601 $1 SC H99999999A in it's PMG 66 EPQ, the single finest known piece residing in a PMG 66EPQ Gem Unc holder. Estimated Value $7,000 - 13,000
The demand for serial #99999999 has been both high and remarkable for my entire collecting life with dozens of individuals seeking out this serial number. I remember buying my first fancy serial number $1 SC in 1988 at a Paper Money Show in St. Louis, paying the then high price of $500. How I wish I had bought more of them back in the day. I can assure you that this note will bring a significant premium over serial numbers 22222222 - 66666666. With this specific note being the only known solid serial #99999999 known from this era in a 66Q holder, the final price realized could be surprisingly high.
