    i was recently going through a house that i inherited; and i found about 1,500 $5 notes ... all series 1861 and quality between 94 & 99 (out of 100). how much would these be worth (each) in today's dollars?

    Please post some pics so we can take a look. That's really the only way we can give you much feedback is if we can see them, identify and grade them.

    The thread itself will die on its own if the OP doesnt provide additional info as questions arise. If these notes are also figments of his imagination like the #1 serial note possibly was, then the thread will soon be buried under the more usefull posts.

    With that being said, i still like to treat each post/thread with the 'benefit of the doubt' so to speak, unless overwhelming evidence shows it to be beyond truthfull (as the image test was done in the other thread). I have seen posts that were 100% skeptical when they first appeared and were treated as such... only to have all the skeptics proven wrong, myself included, and the note in questions was in fact 100% real. So while this and the other post show merits of us all being misled, i will still lok at this thread being 'possible' ....

    there is good in the world... somewhere :)
