Hello, I have finally gotten around to checking out my Fathers Paper Money Collection. I have a few $1.00 and $5.00 '57 and '63 Silver Certificates, some star notes, a few Sequential bills and some with serial numbers with multiple of the same number in them 2006 $1.00 F11114187P and a 2003 $1.00 G10111115C. I also have a 57 silver Certificate Star note... How do you find out the value? thanks in advance...
Since price guides don't measure up with true market values, I would personally recommend you check out some completed eBay auctions to get a general idea of how much they are selling for. Based off what you have, the two modern notes with interesting serials will not command anything over face. Ideally, you would want at least a seven of a kind and higher.
I did a little checking around last year, but this is the first time I actually sat down to start the process. Thanks!
You could buy "A Guide Book of United States Paper Money" third edition as a reference. But like the Red Book on coins, the prices would need to be adjusted. They are over inflated. Auction houses like Stacks or Heritage, may help for the star notes. They represent the best of the bunch for the currency you listed. EBay sales are what the moment will bare. You can find a big spread on value in just the course of a few days. Condition will dictate the selling price for the rest. If they are not uncirculated, you will have very little to none in an increase over face. Fancy serial numbers are like error notes. Who ever is interested at the time you sell them, will establish the price. EBay offers the best source. You can sell corn flakes the shape of Elvis Presley to someone on eBay. A few people buy serial numbered notes because they are "neat". Not because they are valuable.
