i was told at a coin show this was worth $10 and no more. I believe he was trying to make a sale. He had one same year. For 130$. I figure it’s worth $45 to $50. I’m I being ambitious?
Well the rip and the condition are hurting the value. In better condition this is $50 and mint $100. In this condition I think $20-$30.
Cool thank you all. What grade would this be!?? I’m trying to learn grading!!? Lol. Sorry. I know it’s a lot to ask! His was nicer then mine but was still worn around the edges. That’s why I said 45-50 But I will take it.........
Heavily circulated and damaged. The grading scale goes 1-70. IDK what grade this is 10-15? However, it is a 1914 and the back (reverse) is desirable and collectible.
I had a error $1 bill and took it to a show. I asked the dealer what it was worth and he said the holder was worth more than the bill. So I asked how much he would give me for the holder. He just gave me a bad look.
Looks like maybe a VG-8. Problem notes like this typically sell for under $50. Personally, I don’t understand why a collector would want this in their collection. It’s not rare at all. I’m guessing price. Maybe @MEC2 will chime in. Edited to add, I’m sure I come off sounding like a currency snob, and maybe I am. The only defense I have is, I was often told and learned early on to buy notes you like and try to focus on non-problem notes with good eye appeal and original paper, unless rarity or budget prohibits. Quality trumps quantity every time.
No, please keep it up. The more collectors you can persuade to avoid low-grade problem notes, the cheaper I can get them for my collection. In all seriousness, it's never made sense to me that the premiums attached to condition are anywhere near as large as they are. When one gem note is priced the same as five or ten low-grade notes, I have no idea why anyone would even consider buying the gem.... But I guess it's good that we all have different preferences; it keeps us out of competition most of the time!
Gem grade anything has always been in demand therefore gem grade brings higher prices and not just limited to coins and paper money.
The note in question is Fr. 934; condition is "woeful" to borrow a term from Wendell Wolka and his grading system. Value: IF you're collecting one note from each district (as I do) then I would pass on it. If, however, you're looking for a conversation piece as opposed to a collectible piece -- I'd offer $15-$20. Then, of course, you could submit it for TPG grading and hopefully sell it for those who actually collect lower grade notes. All this is just my opinion and is NOT to be construed as a personal insult, please. You should see a couple of fractional currency pieces I have (really bad ones) LOL
Well I wish I could buy higher grade coins and note. But like everyone “life happen”. Bills,kids, mortgages.. so I only can afford what I can afford.. so that said. I try and collect what I can get. Sometimes hitting flemarket and yard sales. I’m scared of eBay! And no way I’m insulted in any way!!
You probably aren't that far off, there's what folks would pay, and what eBay would bring, and eBay I bet would drag high 30's to be sure. Could even reach 40's. More money than sense out there on eBay... myself, it's a $25 note, most common sig pair for $10's out of St. Louis, so, not much value to me, but I mean you get to $10 just on face value alone... as Steve said it's likely VG-8 with an apparent or NET grade, do NOT grade it for the love of God...
Well, here's a real keeper for me and condition is not exactly complete. This note was found after hurricane Katrina blew through the Mississippi Gulf Coast a few years ago, cost me a bit more than $10 but well worth it.
For what it has been trough it is a keeper!!! It looks like there are no creases ! I bet it was part of some poor fellows collection!
