    Is ebay a good source to get close to accurate pricing on notes generally? And thank you for helping.

    Yes, eBay is fine.

    Once you open the eBay listing on the note, scroll down the left side of the page until you see the choice Show Only and check the box beside Sold Listings and you will see all of the notes that have recently sold, and for how much.

    EZ-PZ lemon squeezy

    It appears to be a collection of fairly cheap and common notes. They look like stuff retailing for 50c. to a couple of $10 ones. Count the total number and multiply by 2 for a rough dollar value.

    Not sure how they are mounted in the album, any form of stickiness will have eroded even that modest value.

    Nice notes. I've always thought the Japanese notes were particularly artistic.

    Thank you for the reply. I checked ebay and some are going for few hundred. The Japanese 10 yen one with the dragon seems rare from what ive read and one of them is a military currency (or whatever they called it) back when korea got liberated from the Japanese except the one I have seems to be missing the English print on the back side. None of them are stuck to the pages, they have been protected by a clear plastic. Seems like we have possibly another 60 to 80 notes that ill have to go through. Lots of European notes from ww2 to Vietnam war. Just found out a old gentle traded these to my family for two cases of beer back in 1990.

    I'd like to see the ones that you think are more valuable.

    Ill try to post more soon. Ive been going back and forth from us coins and paper money to international to stamp collections (which seems as tough as the currency hobby). Grandma decided to leave a bunch of her hobby stuff in the attic.

    Better pictures would help. This is one of yours run through a photo editing program.

    Yours could be far less muddy looking and with better colour defintion if you took them outside, or at least somewhere much better lit. Do not try to take pictures with flash, through plastic, the result is flash burn. This 5000 lire pre Euro Italian note took about 30 seconds to rotate, crop and enhance before reposting.

    Here is another one. Posted pictures do not have to be horrible. It is better to have stuff well lit in the first place than to try to salvage bad pictures. Bad originals never get good, they just get a bit less bad.
