Any guess at how much these are worth?

$1: $575
$2: $650

These prices are for Uncirculated notes.

Even though the market is soft right now, I would not be surprised if those notes could sell for even more than catalogue.  The catalogue on ladder notes has always been conservative.  Of course, that's for uncirculated notes, and third party grading is still growing in importance.  But even if these notes are not Uncs, just remember, a BCS AU-50 is equivalent to a PMG-64 (and maybe even a PCGS-65)  8)

So does that mean you would personally swap a PMG65 TPG note for the same note that was TPG by BCS as an AU-50
I would like to take you up on that offer  :)

Anyone else willing to trade PMG 64 and PMG 65 notes for BCS AU-50 notes...let me know

Thanks - I appreciate the comments.  I think I'll get them graded by a TPG since I have no clue how to grade notes.

Yeah, no kidding.  Too bad about the right margin on either note.  :(

An interesting observation..  Within 2 days of my original post, I received 5 different offers to buy these notes.  Now that they've been graded, silence..

Sometimes things go very fast and deals can happen really quickly on here... it may be plausible that those that made you an offer either think you have declined or have already made a deal with someone else.

Send the 5 people that contacted you a PM and see if they're still interested I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

I honestly think you have two beautiful notes there and hope they go to a good home.

Thank you for the advice Shylo.  I'm not suggesting that I'm looking to sell these notes.  I was simply making an observation.  It almost feels like I was a small fish being circled by sharks when I first posted these notes, and now that I kinda know what I have, they're nowhere to be found.

Pm'd. I didn't think you'd be interested in selling.

These are the types of notes that many collectors love. Especially in those grades, you'll have no trouble finding a buyer. They are very nice notes.
