My friend found this note today and it has a "-" in front of the serial numbers. Anyone explains?

I'm working on the "-". Meanwhile, I can tell you about the "II"
The first letter in the serial number is a reference to the series of the note:
A = Series 1996
B = Series 1999
C = Series 2001
D = Series 2003
E = Series 2004
F = Series 2003A
G = Series 2004A
H = Series 2006
I = Series 2006

The second letter refers to which Federal Reserve Bank branch issued the note:
A = Boston
B = New York City
C = Philadelphia
D = Cleveland
E = Richmond
F = Atlanta
G = Chicago
H = St. Louis
I = Minneapolis
J = Kansas City
K = Dallas
L = San Fransisco
So your's is a Series 2006 (Cabral and Paulson) from Minneapolis

So what does the hyphen mean?

So what does the hyphen mean?

If you google it you get nothing. Every currency website I have read tells all about the letters and what not. Tells where it was made the plate and where it came off the sheet. But nowhere can I find a reference to this hyphen or dash.

I'm not sure what to make of this, I'm hoping for you that you hit the holy grail of serials.

Not yet I now have it in my possession. The various people that I've talked with recommend getting in contact with Fredrick J Bart about it. I just haven't had time yet.

It's a first for me also....great find! Under high magnification does the color of the ink on the "dash" match up with match up with the serial number? Does it have a printed look? Could be the work of a "Penman...."

Yes the color does match up. Sent an email to Fredrick along with pictures. He said that it used to be a rare find but more and more are turning up. They said they would still be willing to buy it though and made a fair offer. I think we are going to put it on eBay and see what happens.

Could you post the link of the eBay auction once you have it up? I'd like to see what happens. Thanks.

 

[arnofarrell]

I would like to see that as well.

 

[Mackaydon]

Did the note get to Ebay?
If so, what did it sell for?
How about a link?

Don,
Perhaps it is just a small ink smear?

Best,
