Viola Desmond $10 bill

Post by rebound59 » Fri Oct 11, 2019 8:14 am

Hi everybody,

This is my first post. I'm not a collector, just newly in a position to have bills and coins of all sorts pass through my hands daily and I intend to extract as much value from them as I can without unnecessarily wasting time hanging onto anything that is worth no more than face value. I hope no one will mind if I inquire here. I try not to take anyone for granted. I appreciate any help, but I understand fully it's voluntary and there are no guarantees.

So, here goes. I've just come into 4 new Viola Desmond $10's in sequential order. Other than being apparently brand new and sequential, I don't think there's anything special about them now, but within the community, is there any anticipation of a possible increase in value such that they'd be worth putting away for a decade or two?

SN(s) FFD 7863193-6

I have one other question. About low serial numbers, I read elsewhere on this site that only the ones below 1000 are valuable. Is that universally true? I have a $10 bill, FTM 0005084, so, just wishful thinking I'm sure, but is it at all interesting? It's the one with the CN train, the Canadian, on the back.

welcome to coinsandcanada

most of them are worth $10. low serial numbers are 0000001 to 0000999. above that, no extra value
sequential numbers no extra value
many of these banknotes certified are GUNC-68+

i think over time, everything below grade 67 wont worth much

Thanks for the reply.

Follow-up:
I might have imagined it, but did I read something about the FTW prefix having some significance?
I received one today, FTW 2124275.

Just wondering.
