I got a Circulated $1 Radar note last week and traded it for this. My wife collects world coins so this is only her second world note. We have no idea what it is worth or even what is says on bill. I just thought it sounded like a good trade and thought the wife would love it...I was right. Any Russian translators out there?
Not a radar, the number does not read the same both ways. 755577 Nice note though. Radar would be 775577, 755557, etc.
You are correct. I traded this for it. I got it in change last week. Sent this to a friend in Missouri and he sent me the Russian note. Straight across trade. Or I guess you could say I paid a dollar for it.
Not a federation, this note is from Russian Empire. According to A. Afanasiev signature and series number on it, this note is still from the empire period. The exact same year note could have been printed during empire, provisional government and soviet government. There are rare notes due to the signature, this is not one of them. Considering the condition, this was far from a good trade, value for this note in a better condition is about $1, for that serial number there might be a collector who would pay a bit more but it wouldn't be easy to find him.
The earliest notes, without the Shipov signature, are worth a lot more. By 1914 and the start of WWI the fun begins and the Russian government started printing paper money at a furious pace completely disregarding the gold clause on the note promising that the note was worth 1/15th of an Imperial(15 ruble gold coin) weighing 17.424 dolei(Russian measurement unit for weight) As @Taxidermist notes they were printed by all three governments but the Soviet example usually has a 5 digit serial number with two alpha and three numeric digits - that was the same on all notes that government printed.
