Hello! Just trying to check if these are worth appraising. Thank you. Not sure about this one below but seems serial numbers are going up and down.
The error notes, yes. They would need expert appraisal by a grading service, which, if verified authentic, would also help conserve them and boost their resale value. Error notes can be fakes, so you must keep that in mind as people have devised ways of making them from regular notes. This is also why a grading service would be a good idea. The $1 Silver Cert (blue seal) with up/down serial numbers, is not an error. Looks normal. The Red Seal $2 US Note is common. The last two are not worth having graded, in my opinion. They would both grade too low to warrant the expense of the grading service.
I likey!!! I love currency errors. I'm alway's trying to find them in circulation, but never seem to.
Thanks you all! Local coin store told me that I could get $20 to $30 max for all combined. Is this true?
I'd find another more honest coin store. Just go on Ebay and browse some completed auctions and you'll see that that total should be higher especially to the right buyer. Certainly for the $10 ink transfer and the $1 that's missing the third printing I believe.
Do not return to that dealer for any reason. They either don't know what they are advising about or misguiding you hopeful to take advantage of the situation. Certainly a dealer must quote a reasonable price to make a profit themselves, but shouldn't take advantage of your lack of knowledge should they know better from inspecting these pieces in-hand that they have better potential value.
I have been reading about error bills lately and this example of the Back to Face Offset is pretty cool. Condition matters in all cases but a full offset makes for an interesting looking $10 Bill. Nice one!
I agree with Krispy as this too seems to me a measure of greed and opportunity to seek advantage of less knowledgeable folks to their benefit. Great advice.
Holy smokes, that guy tried to rip you off hard core! Do NOT go back! I agree with someone above who suggested several errors, etc. be certified. Please send those in to PMG (partner company to NGC). If you feel like selling them, you'll get a lot more than $30!
