I had a gentleman come in the shop a few weeks ago and he dumped these out on the counter out of a paper bag....should have seen my eyes....lol

Wow.

Indeed.

$1,000 bills are going for WELL over face these days... good for this man who decided not to put these in the bank.

ZOINKS!!!

OMG is the only phrase I can comment at the moment...

Check out the serial on that first one!!

-Bobby

I hope he had an escort with him, I wouldn't be walking around with $10,000 face value on me.

I have a very large and very heavy fireproof safe.....

No, I didn't mean you, I meant the guy who brought them to you in a paper bag

no crap I thought thay myself......he has 6 more i may be buying soon along with some more $500's

I would have a briefcase chained to my arm...

In looking at the picks the note with serial 00169859A looks like it was stamped DUPLICATE was this a fake note?

I swear I just want to roll around naked in those....opps did I say that out loud!?

yes it was stamped duplicate, but it was an original note.....I had to check on that too... I really don't know why they stamped that note like that....but it was a real note.

Ouch... so it is on the note and not the cover... I was hoping it was the cover.

I wonder if that was done by a govt agency or third party. I cant think of any reason to stamp that on a $1000 bill.

-Bobby

I can't either, the gentleman who bought them is a currency expert and we poured over that bill for like 20 min....it's definitely real.

Were there any security fetures on the $1000s? Metalic strip around back then?

-Bobby

nope, they did have the blue and red threads...but that is it....no strips

I think the first security threads on US notes was on the series 1990 $100 bill, though I can't recall if the did those on the lower demoninations in 1990 or in the series 1993.

Perhaps some past collector marked all his doubles and extras "duplicate"? There are some odd folks who mutilate their collectibles.

it might have been done by the bank......who knows??
