Came across alot of paper money, need help getting an idea if any is valuable.

While going through some old stuff I came across a envelope full of paper money. Some of it seems to worth more then face but not entirely sure. Here is a rundown of what was found and some pictures.. Any idea on the value of any of it would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure what these are called but they are full stacks with the original binding with all sequential serials in non-circulated condition.

$5 1963
3x $2 1976
$1 1963B



Here some random bills that appear to at least be a slight error.. but not sure if poor cutting really counts as an error... any insight would be appreciated.


$20 1928 gold certificates


$1 1928


Also if anyone knows any other good paper money collecting sites i could post this on that would be great. I got a bunch of single stuff as well that I will list if activity is high enough.

with exception to the stacks of 2$ bills, I think everything there has a pretty good premium!

The last 2 you showed, a 1928 Silver Cert ("Funnyback") and a 1928 Gold Certificate:
The Funnyback is probably worth around $15 - the Gold Certificate is probably around $90-100. From the best I can tell (without seeing the condition of the Reverse)

 

the 1963-B one dollar notes are actually Barr Notes which add a little extra value to the $1 notes. If they are uncirculated they could fetch something pretty good!

the $5 1963 if look pretty Good and they could probably go for $10+ a piece, but not definite.

You found some nice notes and hopefully you gather extra information here!

 

The strap of $5's have a nice premium in CHCU! - I agree with Greg on the estimate. The $2's ($3 to $4 each) and $1's ($3 each) you will get a nice little premium for.

The $20 should catch a nice premium ($60 - up-to as much as $100 maybe depending on how the reverse looks and how you run the auction if you sell it and have any history selling currency)

The rest I don't know if you will get much more than face for in the condition they are in.

Nice Find!!!! Those Fives caught my eye :eat:

 

I noticed some auctions on ebay getting a lot more for being certified.

Example: http://cgi.ebay.com/1963-B-1-BARR-C...ryZ40029QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Would this be worth it?
If so how and where is the best place.

it would cost you more than what that note went for to even get it graded. the straps could sell together easier. but you would get a little more selling them in singles but it would take a lot longer also. either way the prices you have been quoted are about par. the 5's are where you might clean up because of the condition and the fact they have a red seal

 

Also, that note on Ebay didn't sell for more because it's certified; it sold for more because it's nicer than average even for an uncirculated note. All the certification did was make the bidders aware of, and confident of, that fact.

Some of your notes don't look quite as beautiful--for example, at least the top few $2's in the one strap seem to have some handling wrinkles visible in the margins, and another $2 has less than ideal centering with a narrow top margin. If you got those notes certified, you'd just be paying an unbiased third party to tell your bidders that the notes aren't the greatest, which probably isn't worth your while.

On the other hand, if some of your notes are particularly wonderful examples (which I don't know, since some types of minor problems would be hard to detect from a photo), then certification might well make bidders more willing to pay strong prices for them.

 

The straps of Barr notes and $2 bills could gain an additional premium for them being in their original FRB straps. This of course depends on whether a particularly interested buyer with a few dollars to spare
