What to do with these two???

Iam not a expert in paper money but I did pick up two U.S. 1950-D twenty dollar bills yesterday from a lady at the bank. They are not uncirculated but darn close. I would post picture but camera is on fritz. Can anyone tell me if these are worth anything or just face value. I personally like them. Would any information from the bill make a appraisel easier??

If you could post the serial number of both notes that would be very helpful.

 

Value depends on the issuing district, and whether they are star notes or not. These notes were printed ca. 1964-1965.

 

anyway to scan the notes? we would love to see them If you can afford to keep them, i sure would

 

I misspoke myself yesterday. One $20 is a 1950 c serial # I2106972A green seal and from federal reserve in minnesota. #2 is a $20 1950 d G 56957249C from federal reserve in chicago. If I may can I trouble you with a couple more a $50 series of 1934 green seal A00939388A from boston federal reserve. Also and last a $100 series of 1934 green seal G02114835A from chicago federal reserve. Any help with any of these would be much appreciated. and thanks

 

On the 1934 notes, what are the back plate numbers (could affect value)?

 

not sure whatcha mean by back plate nimbers ?????

 

On the back side of the note, toward the bottom right, there should be a small number. It identifies the particular printing plate that was used to print the note.

Why it matters: There were a couple of extremely small changes made to the note designs during the run of the 1934 series. In trying to figure out which variety you've got, it's easier to go by the plate number than to try to describe the tiny little change that you're actually looking for.

 

on the $50 #110 for a back plate number. I don't see one on thge $100 and I have searched the whole reverse with magnification. Front below where it says series of 1934 is a I with a small 1 next to it. Anything else I can tell you??

 

Can anyone help[ me with these notes with the information I have provided. I know very little about currency.. thanks

 

On that $100, you definitely have to scan it now (the plate number should be in the same location as the one on the $50). If there truely is no plate number, that would be interesting to see.

When I get a chance, I'll look up the cutoffs for which plate numbers are mules and which aren't. There is also a variety with respect the shade of green in the overprint seals/numbers.

 

Here are some of the pictures I hope they work. They are off my scanner. Your help guys is much appreciated

 

the other side...thanks

 

hey anyone who could give me some informaiton regarding value on these would be appreciated

 

my appologies i forgot to look in my books. I do love the notes though!! I will 'try' to look tonight. Its been busy lately with those 'family things' few people like dealing with.

 

The 1950-C $20 from Minneapolis books in Friedberg at $30(is this right though) all the other districts are at $75. The 1950-D $20 from Chicago books at $100 in VF, but prices are high and subjective based on finding someone that will pay that.

The 1934 $50, not much over face, not more than a dollar or two, just too far worn.

The 1934 $100 maybe about $110ish, it is probably a VG or so, just not too collectible in that grade.

 

On the $100, I can see the plate number (but not read it).

You will have a tough time finding a dealer that will pay over face for the $50 and $100. But, I do think that all pre-1996 small size federal reserve notes are poised to go up sharply at some point in the future. One day, everyone is going to wake up and realize that the Federal Reserve has been shredding them all. Unfortunately, I don't know how long until that day comes. Could be 1 year, could be 15 years.

 

Gatsdon>>>> I found the plate # ( after you pointed it out to me lol lol ) it is #74. What do you or anybody else think of just using these notes and buying a nice coin with it??? OR should I just keep them??

 

I have some $2000 to $3000 in $20's from the 1950's that I can't find a dealer willing to pay more than face for. For the $50 and $100, you also probably won't find a dealer also.

 

a dealer might not pay more then face, but collectors might pay a bit more - the trick is to find them
