    In all seriousness, not sure - have a look through Holdfast's links. Signature combinations are what matters, and above all - condition.

    Thanks guys. 2005 surprises me, I thought they just started them all at AA 00000001 and went up from there.

    pretty much, unless I put them on Ebay. The $100 in particular looks to be something more than $100, AA 96 "first prefix". I have no idea what that means of course, other than some have sold for $135 & $145

    Even the AA05 $50s have sold for a bit above. Hmm, I dont understand it thats for sure, thats what I like about good old fashioned close-to-spot silver!

    Cheers. In your opinion not worth chasing up a sale on these then?

    I have no experience with polymer notes, I'm joining in this thread in the hope I learn something.

    Have a look through status International's forthcoming auction catalogue: http://statusint.com/result_coins.php?id=64 remembering as The pelican said, condition is extremely important.

    If you don't find any more info, why don't you list them on ebay incl free postage say for $60 and $110 and see where you get too?

    I have experience with this.. of course on ebay if you sell the $100 note there is a huge chance you will make a loss after the fees.

    Best case scenerio would be a f2f with a numi guy for like $120 or less swap.. maybe advertise on gumtree.. its going to need to be free of fees, postage in order to have a margin.. after you waste time (if you value your time) .. its not worth f$#king around.

    1for1 it absolutely correct. I myself collect them but I get mine from the wild at face not from eBay in the hope that one day their value will increase above inflation
