Awesome find in my attic

Ok...I was just curious myself. Looks like yours was not in the DB (not surprising). For that plain back, the highest serial I saw in the DB was 86529. Looks like you may have the highest serial around - at least the highest one known as of now. Best known grade is XF on that note. If that position is I (hard for me to see), only 8 examples of that note from that position. There could always more out there though. Very cool find on top of everything else. Jackpot!

the wood box is very beautiful. I am anxious to hear what the true value of the special 1902 bank of Mobile $10 dollar bill is. amazing find. thanks for sharing...

 

Fantastic!

Awesome finds but reliving memories, priceless.

 

I had the same bank note a while back from the Bank of Raleigh and I sold it to a dealer for $200. Interesting how yours doesnt seem to have been signed on the obverse by the Cashier and Bank President. Mine was and the signatures were still clear from when it was issued. Yours has the same locations for signatures at the bottom. Maybe I cant see them in the photo?

 

By the way, yours is in much better shape than the one I sold.

 

Wow, If I came across a box like that it would probably have nothing but mouse droppings in it.

 

Amazing, I hate you!

 

I don't see any trace of the signatures; if they were ever there at all.

 

I love reading stuff like this, awesome stuff. Would have been fun to go through let alone find.

 

With no signatures, and a very high number this may be an unissued note. On obsoletes it would be called a remainder note.

 

GULP

 

It's best to use a metal detector and stud finder for anomalies in walls.

Cool find.

 

TREASURE BATH!!!!

 

What a great find! I don't know about value, 'though. There's probably more value in its history and provenance than in numismatic value since most everything seems to be common circulated, although you might luck out and find a few keys or semi-keys. Get a few Whitmans and see how much you can fill up.

 

My God! There's no question anymore about it, Kirk...somebody up there likes you!

 

Much cooler find than the case of old Cake Vodka I thought this thread would be about Kirk!

 

Sweet find..... I hope you can keep it in the family , great story and keepsakes to pass down.

 

Allow me to add to the awe inspired jealous comments. Very cool! I am very jealous.
