A#1,
Do not sell that bill until you have researched it thoroughly!! It's worth a small fortune !!
I vote it for BANNER right now; I doubt such a bill has even been seen on TNet before; at least none has ever been reported as found, such as yours.
Collectors look for certain patterns that include solids (every digit the same), such as 11111111; ladders(counting up or down), such as 12345678; lows, 00000100 or lower; highs, 99999900 or higher; radars (same backwards and forwards), such as 13466431; repeaters (second half same as first half), such as 12791279; super repeaters (pair of numbers repeated four times); double quads, such as 55553333, seven in a row and seven of a kind.
To collectors, yours is the rarest kind (and most sought after) bill; a 'solid' of 4s. If I had that bill I'd submit a copy to Heritage Auctions for their suggested opening price and estimated value range; it's in the thousands !!
Don....
Nice find, too bad they weren’t 8s because then you would have found the holy grail for a Chinese gambler - I believe 8 is their luckiest number. Unfortunately 4 is one of their unlucky numbers as the word 4 sounds like the word for death. I agree with the other posters, research before you sell.
i havent posted on this site much lately although i i check it out daily,and seing this bill has me talking again, i collect coins mainly canada and to find a solid on a canadian bill is hard enough and ours are only 7 digits yours are 8 digits,im with mackaydon, i dont think i have ever seen a sollid bill on the banner,odds of finding this bill is one in 10 million im voting for banner also
All eights on a used 1981 sold for over 2 grand. I think with yours having the corresponding bills in mint condition might be as Macaydon said worth a lot more. Is it yours or your brothers? Most excellent find.
That's absolutely killer. I am voting banner on a bill like that. The Chinese I believe have a superstition on the number 4, cant remember off hand what it is, but i would send all 3 to get graded. Spend the premium and get them authenticated. That run of Bill's would be worth a very high premium if grades well and being sequential. Kudos and merry holidays.
