Tomado de USHistory.org: Bonds, like the ones shown here, were issued by the Pennsylvania-chartered Bank of the U.S. of which Nicholas Biddle was the President. The Pennsylvania charter was issued after the Federal charter lapsed in 1836. For those interested in determining its value, our inquiries among bank note dealers suggest that $125 is a fair price for an authentic one. However, if yours has a value of $1000 and the number 8894 dated December 15, 1840 (top picture), or $10 with the number 646 dated Jan 23, 1834 (middle picture), or $1,000,000 number 711 dated Dec. 25, 1840 (bottom picture), they are counterfeit reproductions sold as souvenirs along with other "authentic looking" bills and sell on Ebay for under $25, usually.
Tomado de Coin World.com: "Sometimes a single digit in a serial number can make a difference of thousands of dollars, and not because it is fancy in any way, shape, or form. In this case, the difference is between “8893” and “8894,” and that difference is $1,920. That was the price paid by the winning bidder in a Stack’s Bowers Galleries Collectors Choice Online auction on July 29 for a Bank of the United States $1,000 note dated Dec. 15, 1840, with the 8893 number. It was in Paper Money Guaranty Choice Uncirculated 63 condition. The note was issued by the Philadelphia branch of the bank. The value of a note numbered 8894 is nothing, because that is the serial number of one of the most common fakes in history. In the days before the internet supplanted dealers as the public’s go-to source for valuations, it was rare for a week to go by without at least one phone call that started, “I have a $1,000 bill from 1840. What’s it worth?” When we would shock the caller with the response, “It’s serial number is 8894, isn’t it, and if so, it’s worthless.” The disappointment, and sometimes even anger, was palpable. The fake, with its tell-tale crisp, fake parchment paper, was produced in enormous quantities in the 1960s, well before the Hobby Protection Act of 1974 would have required the word COPY to be printed on it. Among others, it was used in promotions in cereal boxes, by check printers, by the Longines Symphonette Society, and for sale with similar fakes in packs by souvenir sellers." "This December 1840 $1,000 note of the Bank of the United States bears serial number 8893, one digit different from the infamous replicas with serial number 8894."
