What are they worth?

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Hello,

This is my first posting and would like to get an idea of what some of my bills could be worth.  I have quite a bit, so I'll list only the ones that seem important. I know very little and would appreciate the help of some of the PRO'S.

Thanks for taking a look,

the charlton catalog that you can buy from any book store it would be the most helpful for you

Hi Frank and welcome to the forum, well the response you've gotten or lack of response is because of the large amount you have listed. I'll do my best to give values the notes that have no value beside them are worth face value or maybe 10% above.

1954  $1-Beat/Rasm *B/M 4185862 (EF) =$7.00
            -Bau/Rasm  *C/F 0669900 (VF) =$5.00

            -Bau/Rasm  M/F 0034772  (EF)
 
1973  $1-Law/Bau *MM6745877 (AU) = $28.00
            -Cro/Bau   BFH1777776 (AU)

1954  $2-Bau/Rasm *A/G 3209927 (VF)      1986  $2-Thie/Cro CBH0876417 (AU)= $15.00

            -Law/Bau RV0000057 (F) =Nice low # tough to value
            -Law/Bau *BX6489579 (EF) = $40.00

1954  $20-Bea/Rasm X/E 8036850 (AU) =$50.00

The 1973 $1 notes with mis-alined BCK serial is not worth much I think, anyone with a different opinion is welcome to voice it.

Hope this helps and I second the opinion that a Charlton catalogue would be a great help to you.

Hi Frank, welcome to the forums! If you have a scan/picture available please post it. There are several error collectors on this forum who would be able to assess the value of the notes.

Hey Gary,

Thanks for taking the time to look at all those.  I was hoping that some of them would stick out in the bunch.  I guess I did alright.  I picked all those up and more at face value,  $138.00 worth.  

I have a couple more 1954 Twenties.  What makes them worth $50 or more?

p.s.     RE: 1973 $1 ( misaligned serial# )  I can post the picture in a couple days.

Thx,

Frank

Welcome to the Forum Frank  

What makes a 1954 $20 worth $50 or more..............condition of the note(s) or type of note. Is it a Devil Face or Modified. Just that simple.

Hope you are encouraged to hang on to the notes and maybe hang around on the Forum.

Regards
Eastguy

Welcome to the forum Frank:

picked all those up and more at face value,  $138.00 worth.  

There you have a very good start to a fascinating hobby.  What a bargain! After you've learned about what kind of notes you want to keep and what you feel you could get rid of (sell), you'll be able to shape your collection into something that represents your interests.

Good luck!

Thank you.   I now realize that I should check the rest of the bunch I acquired.  I have had a chance to look at the prefix charts and some other circulation lists and comments from the forum to get an idea of exactly what could be a special note.  Eg. Radars, ladders.

QUESTION:  Why is there not a HI/LOW list for older notes.  For instance, 1974 $2 L/B # RV0000057
                   or, 1974 $2 L/B # *BX6489579 ??
AND:           Why is it hard to value the RV0000057 (F) ?

It is difficult to value the RV because it is simply what the a buyer is willing to pay. A serial number 57 in F condition is not worth much in terms of the catalogue but a collector may be willing to pay well over catalogue just to own a low serial numbered note.

If you have a note outside of a range in the charlton you can make an updated here;

Hope this helps

According to the Charlton, a 1974 $2 with serial number between 10 and 99 (yours being 57) books at $75 in UNC condition.  In F condition is worth 25% * $75 or $18.75.

I don't know if that is a good indication of what your bill would sell for, though.  There could be people out there willing to pay a higher premium for such a low number.

EDIT:  Oops, sorry, Oli1001 beat me to it!

Thanks Brad

Do a lot of forum members trade or buy and sell off each other?

Anyways, I was wondering if a Bou/Ram 1954 $1 Serial# M/F0034772 be considered a somewhat low number. I can't seem to find a list of older bills for Hi/Low

I thank everyone for all the Feedback

Forum members are trading eachother all the time. I myself have brought or sold notes with members.

Serial number M/F0034772 is a not a low number. The serial number must be lower then 1000. Like 0000867. But 0001000 is still good because its a 2 digit radar.  8-)

Hi Frank and welcome as a new member of the forum,

Myself I'm a relatively newer member of the forum having not being a member for a year yet but as a returned collector after several years absence.
Yes, forum members do trade, buy and sell through the trading post. In that short time I've been a member I've already traded with several members with no problems at all.
I've seen a few similar ones listed as low numbers on the eB__ auction site by someone but never did find out how it did, personally I feel low numbers are those below 0001000.  eB__ is not particularily a place to learn to properly categorize or grade your collection. This forum is made up of many very knowledgable collectors and experienced graders that can help you build and enjoy your collection.
Best of luck on your collecting experience.

PD

Welcome CelticFC

Being a new member, and new to the this hobby as well, I can two things about this forum:

I) Great information and very helpful people.
II) Solid notes available at reasonable prices in the Trading Post. If the claim is UNC, it is.

Ok three things, it is also a great 10 minute or so read every other day to keep up with a hobby that is really complex. Sounds like you got a nice start. My suggestion is that you read and look here for more information before you begin to buy much more though.

Thanks for the info.  
 
I pulled a radar J/D$5 2006 out of my wifes purse this morning not in the best shape.
But the last '3' in the leftside serial# is doubled AOL3755573 is this worth keeping?

Thanks
Frank
