There are some dollar bills that can be a real find and reach unexpected quotes. These specimens have some special features. Moreover, being difficult to find, their evaluation increases considerably.
Among the most attractive and sought after options by collectors, there are the so-called US $ 1 “stair notes” which can be sold for US $ 5,000.
The most popular dollar bills
The information from the Rarest.org site and which is taken from the As site underlines that these banknotes are considered the rarest and that is why their value for collectors reaches the clouds.
Called “dollar scale“, because its serial number is from one to eight.
Within this group, there are two categories. One of them, the most difficult to find, is the real sequence. That is, it goes from 12345678 and it only happens once in every 96 million invoices.
However, the same note says, there are variations of the ladder model. For instance, those that do not begin with one, such as 00123456 or 034567, or that are in descending order.
These variants are more frequent and less valuable than a “real straight”. in any case, the the probability of finding one is 1 in 16,666,667.
The value of a banknote or coin
The US First Exchange site explains that this type of item has four values: catalog, purchase, retail, and wholesale.
According to the As site note, the first option is the average price for which most traders would sell an old coin or bill.
The second refers to how much a merchant would be willing to pay. While the retail price is limited to a specific dealer and the wholesale price is the circulation price in the collectors’ arena.
As for the value of the catalog; rarity, condition / grade of the coin or banknote and demand (i.e. whether it is highly sought after or not) will be determining factors.
