Got these as change in a grocery store.

 

Picked this up yesterday at FUN in Tampa. It was the only note I was bidding on in the Heritage Signature Auction on Friday night.

 

That is really nice!!!

 

Not really new; just "found" them in a forgotten album.
Always good to find a few Web notes.
====================

 

Here's something different. The Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona produces the Mother Road Buck, which is sort of like a Disney Dollar in that it is "legal tender" at participating stores and can be spent like a US dollar when purchasing items at these stores.
I got this one at the Williams, AZ Powerhouse museum.

 

Just picked these up. Got the mismatch for such a good price. I happy about it.

 

Nice catch!

 

I have about #48 one dollar silver certificates, with sequential serial numbers from 1957. The numbers run from F40728601A to F40728615A skips one, have 8617A, skips one, than have F40728619A to F40728640A. Then have another run from N 16930256A to N16930270A. I have two other bills that are sequential as well. They are in perfect condition, been sitting in an envelope between two cardboard sheets in my Dad's safe for 50 plus years. Are they worth anything more than face value. I am winding my way through a huge coin collection left to me by my Dad, and I am trying to learn as I go. I had never heard of silver certificates until I saw these. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Photos of these notes can help people guess at the quality.
They are worth at least face value.
Most of those are going to be worth 2 or 3 dollars apiece.
If any are in spectacular condition, then more.
If they are clean and crisp and new looking they all could be valuable.
Off hand the sequence is not a huge factor, although people like that.
If they were stored properly and are still very new looking, then the price goes up.

 

They are crisp, have never been folded, the corners aer

 

I posted a picture with the front and back of one of the certificates. They all look brand new. They are crisp, have never been folded, the corners are all sharp with no bending or folding. They have been kept in a safe, between two pieces of cardboard and have been handled maybe 10 times in the last 50 plus years, so they literally look like they just came off the press. I just was not sure what they were worth. I have a HUGE coin collection left to me by my father when he passed, and I am trying to figure out what to do with it. I appreciate your assistance and comments as I learn more about what he spent a lifetime collecting. I have coins he collected as a child as well as an adult, going back to the 1930's, from his penny and nickel collections, and the Gold Buffalo's and Silver dollars he got in the last few years before he passed. Its hard to know who to trust when trying to evaluate the coins value, etc. Again, thanks for the comments. Laura

 

Love the star Barrs.
As for the crisp silver certs, $3 and up. You'll have to get more expert advice.
The silver certs are fairly common, but condition does help.

 

Newer pick up, I love the bold black ink. Large size Gold Certs are some of the best looking notes.

 

One more, with a blazing reverse. For the price I couldn't pass this up.

 

Thanks. I appreciate your information. One more piece of information to help me assess my fathers collection.

 

I had to do a double take after receiving these in change while visiting an antique shop in Arcadia Florida. These notes look so similar, yet they are 9000 serial numbers apart. It’s amazing to me they circulated together.

 

I'd keep em for that reason. Ain't Life funny?
