We've seen some amazing auction results in 2022 for eight digit solid serial numbered $1 1899 Black Eagles. The Z99999999Z sold for $90,000 last year. While we don't expect this note will bring a price in that neighborhood, we note that result as a reflection of how strong the market has become for fancy serial numbered large size type notes. This is a seven digit solid serial number bearing seven 1111111s in a row.
Our estimate is likely far too low considering the rarity of this note. We do want to give all bidders a chance to land this wonderful piece of history and have chose to open the bidding at an exceptionally low level. Its last sale was on eBay back in 1-9-2018 at $3200. We expect a far stronger result today, five years later.
