RARE SERIAL NUMBER 1 NOTE FOUND
A newspaper in New York's Hudson Valley reported
some interesting numismatic finds during some recent
promotional appraisal events."According to Pandaleon, a man brought in a collection
of about 80 U.S. banknotes and German inflation currency
from the Weimar Republic in the 1920s. He had bought the
collection for $500 but when he went to sell it the dealer
said he'd overpaid and offered him only $200."He actually had two Federal Reserve test notes from 1957
that were worth $1,000 apiece." Pandaleon said. "On the
same day a husband and wife from Union Vale came in with
a collection of old coins and paper money. It turned out there
was a 50 cent piece from the 1820's that was in mint condition
and worth $7,000. Those were two exciting events.""The next appraisal on July 4 was the big one. Pandaleon said
a lady brought in two Morgan silver dollars to be appraised.
There are lots of them around so it was nothing momentous,
until he noticed she had a five-dollar bill in an envelope she
figured was worthless."Lo and behold it was a 1929 Type 1 National Bank note
with the serial number 000001," he said. "It was from the first
sheet that went through the press. The note is incredibly valuable
with a minimum value of $10,000. At auction it could bring as
much as $50,000.""The nice part about the note is the story behind it," Pandaleon
said. "The woman who brought in the note is 83 years old and
her husband is in a nursing home. It is found money and could
be very helpful to them."To read the full story, see: Full Story
