In December 2006, Barry Ciociola, owner of
Large and Small Currency of America, purchased a
small group of $5,000 & $10,000 notes in the Smoky
Mountains.
The four notes were all new to the census, and
one note in particular gained attention throughout
the hobby.
That note was a series 1928 Atlanta $10,000 F.R.N.
serial number 16.
The note is the lowest known serial number of
all $10,000 F.R.N.s and is one of only seven series
1928 notes known.
The note was sold and then entered an auction
where it eventually sold for an astounding $236,000!
The note appeared on both the cover of Bank Note
Reporter and Heritage's 2007 Central States catalog.
The other notes in the group were:
