Yes... straight trade.
Mom gave the guy $50 (new money) for the 10 old $5 bills.
(4- 1902's, 3-1907's & 3-1914's)

 

WOW !! i say score to that !!

 

Here is a grading company that used to be top dog, until a couple of graders were grading their stuff. The new owner is trying to turn things around. They are as accurate as anyone, and at $10/note postpaid, it is hard to beat. Great way to get notes authenticated you want to keep:

I would call CGA third tier, notes are not held to the same standard
Therefore there grades are highly suspect, would consider only PCGS
Or PMG in any certification process, here,s an example of both.

 

Oops !! wrong post..LOL

Thanks guys.
I think I will look into getting these graded.
Looks like this would be an advantage if I ever look to sell.

 

Use PCGS or PMG. Those are the only respected companies.

 

Personally I wouldn't get them graded.
There's no need to authenticate them as they are genuine.
The grades will be very low because of worn condition, folds, stains, tears, pinholes.
A dealer or collector will know the value without them being entombed.
You will be raising your cost (although minimally).
I would just keep them in those plastic currency holders.
But that's me, I'm cheap. If it was me, there is a sentimental value there, I wouldn't
sell them, but pass them down the family line, with a written history for the future generations. And if I would sell them, I would absolutely keep the best one,
(condition, rarity) as a family heirloom.
