Is this worth more than face? Do you think it is fine condition? Low serial number and old series. Made me pretty happy to find it even if its not worth much. Pretty cool me thinks.

Some of this older stuff is starting to come out of the woodwork again, the economy has people spending stuff they held for sentimental or other reasons. __________________   03-14-2009, 10:50 AM   #4 (permalink) Daggarjon Supporter**     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Michigan Posts: 8,049 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by scottishmoney ...the economy has people spending stuff they held for sentimental or other reasons. i agree. Its too bad for those folks that the need to spend it outweighed the desitre to keep it. But for folks like me who live off circulation finds it can be a bonus. __________________ Please visit My coin and currency Website.

Especially when you have towns where the unemployment rate is 18% or higher. But it is a nice note. Great find. __________________ "The man who has begun to live more seriously within, begins to live more simply without"-Ernest Hemingway   03-14-2009, 05:28 PM   #6 (permalink) scottishmoney Yep   Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Krasny Vostok Posts: 2,533 Given the circulation of the note, it is hard to assign a value on it. It depends on the interest level of a particular collector at that moment, last year it might have gone for $15 or so, now, maybe $11 if you can find someone that likes it. __________________   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
