Sorry, I am new here and do not know if this is where I should post something like this, but I would like to get some information on my bills. I am currently falling on hard times, and I am considering just depositing all my money if they aren't really worth keeping around or have any value too them. Thank you for any help you can give me.
The $1.00 * 1957A silver cert looks as an inverted "W" in the upper right (as a "M"), you have one to keep. I have no idea of value, but they are hard to find. edited - forum rules
Although some of these aren't in the best condition, don't settle (either by depositing or selling) for face value.
I would for sure keep the brown seal. I don't know how much the three Benjamins are worth, but I would keep the tightest hold on the 1990 star.
Why do you think he should hold the 1990 $100 star note? That run had more than 2 million notes in it and considering the condition is probably not worth much. Out of the $100 bills I would keep the 2006 star note since it is from a much smaller run of 320,000. Even though it is in worse condition, and probably still not worth a ton, the numbers say to hold that above the other two.
Sorry, At first it looked like it was, The picture was smaller in the first. I keep all of the star notes. They will not make any more of them. Most dollars, only last about a year in circulation. The 1935F has the inverted "M" in the upper right, the 1957A is the one with the inverted "W" in upper right. You were right. I looked again at your 1957. Look real close. Just do not block out any note. Some are known, and many are not of any series. Check it out, may be a new find. If you get rid of it you will never know for sure. To me the top of the "M" just doesn't look as the lower "M". Look at the top "V" looks short to me. Oh ,well ???????
if those conditions if you truly need money i would say just deposit it. there isn't really anything that really stands out that will command a premium. any of those notes could be gotten at a future time if you money situation gets better. currency lately seems a little flat. people aren't spending big money anymore unless it's an ultra rare note. i have been depositing a large amount of my left over notes(stars, consecutive notes, short print runs). most of them have been in GEM new condition but after trying to post on ebay, paying fees, waiting to get payment, shipping etc you really don't make much if anything. lately it seems more of a hassle.
They will not make any more stars of any old series ever. New series yes. That's what I was talking about. Just like the "WEB" notes. How long will any series last while in regular circulation? Not long. That was my point.
If you have a yard sale or sell these on ebay for reasonable prices you could make some quick bucks on some of these. The hundreds id try putting on ebay The 100 dollar star notes usually sell for around $110-$125. The $1 silver certificate you have could sell from around $3-$5. $2 red seal $4-$7. $2 green seal if it has no folds or wear $3 (sold one at yard sale for $3. $2 green seal star note $5-$7. Not sure about the rest. Hope this helps in deciding whether its worth it to you to sell them.
Freidbergs lists the ten dollarfederal reserve bank note (brown seal) at 30 in vg-8 , 40 in f-12. Thats full retail. Schwartz and Lindquist lowest grade listed is a vf, which makes me think that perhaps not many collectors collect those notes at a lower grade
