This set has every colored in the bill spectrum? So show me a set that does and is worth more than what I speculate.
Just a quick look tells me you would be lucky to get a couple hundred bucks altogether. You do have a couple desirable bills, however they are well worn which lowers their value.
Actually, yes you did overpay, immensely, as one will always do by buying from Littleton Coin Co. I order their free catalog every year just to see how badly they inflate their prices. It's not that they are dishonest, just one of the most expensive dealers anywhere to buy from. If you knock 50% off that bill you "might", and I use that word loosely, might be close to a real retail value. They have a large place of operation in New Hampshire and many employees, so a lot of overhead. And they also own Mystic Stamp Company which adds to their overhead. Order from either and you will soon blow a hole in your budget that can never be repaired. I did not say any of this to hurt you but you do need to understand the implications of doing business with them. BTW, the giveaway on this was the "profit shares" on your invoice.
In terms of those Philippines wartime money - I can literally find these in the $0.30/piece bargain bin at the LCS
