$10 Series 1963

To echo the above... unfortunately, when a person gets into paper currency at first it is common to think that just because a note found in change (say your $10 note) is old and of a different design than modern notes it is worth a lot of money. It just isn't the case most of the time unless it is in beautiful condition or is of a particularly rare or desirable issue (not likely to be found in change, though).

When it comes to circulated notes like yours, often the biggest percentage of value is monetary -- whatever its face value is. I'd love to see the note, though. I've always liked "small head" $10.00 notes.

 

Just saw it, my bad.

 

Ignore the light, curtains and screen please. It's concealed and covered by a glass top

 

How / Why did you take a photo of the note in a reflection? Why not straight on? Just wondering.

 

Can't make a good call on the grade from such a photo. Though it's not a rag, that's going for you. Use the link that icerain gave earlier to grade the note for yourself. I'll post it here again: http://www.clay-irving.com/currency/grading.html

 

If anyone is still looking how can I tell its fake? (Some people say its fake because it feels EXTREMELY crispy.)

 

The unique printing process causes the design elements to be raised and/or punched through the paper. You are unlikely to find that in a counterfeit. The fact that it's crispy just adds to the value. .

 

Thanks, also what's the most I can get for it? I went to a pawn shop they graded it 62 is that good or bad ? And what's the most I can get?

 

Book value is $50 in choice uncirculated. Although a pawn shop is not the most reliable grader, they are probably not too far off. A grade of 62 is slightly lower than choice uncirculated. Considering that and that auctions almost never close at book value, you might get $35 dollars if the note was in a third party holder like PCGS or PMG or even CGA. Without the certification and grade of a reliable third party grader like those I mentioned, you will probably get about $20 at auction.

Keep in mind that getting it graded might not be cost effective.

Hope that helps.
