Tips to increase the value of your premium banknotes

The mere existence of a rare number is not enough; there are technical factors that determine the final price in the market:

• Paper grade: The paper that has not been touched by hands (UNC) is always of the highest value.
• Reissue (Replacement): Coins that have exchange codes such as (999) have a special value.
• Bookend: When the first two numbers match the last two numbers in the sequence.
