Any thoughts on the value of these?

These are not really my world. Any thoughts on value? Have they gone up or down in value over the past 10 years? Thanks for any help.

Interesting group if 7 consecutive numbers.
Thanks for sharing.

 

Very nice and interesting that you have 7 consecutive bills. Not sure of the value.

Thanks.

 

Very nice and judging from the assigned grades there must be some decent value to them.

 

I had almost forgotten how beautiful our currency used to be. Thanks for posting these photos. I have no experience at all collecting paper currency, though.

 

That's crazy to me someone would have $700 sitting just sitting there in bills. They are bills! They should be bent up in a wallet to be spent on stuff. They should be sitting in an account of some kind of earning interest or making money on the market. They are bills backed by the full faith of the US government only.

 

Speaking from experience, many retail establishments will not accept these older bills. I had a $10 from this era that was refused at three stores so I had to take it to my bank to deposit it in my account. The bank WOULD NOT exchange this bill for another because it was not current.

 

A bank must accept them. A retailer has no obligation.

 

They deposited as I said; they would not, however, exchange it for a modern bill. They wanted a record so that the $10 could be deducted from my account if it turned out to be counterfeit. You must understand that most bank employees these days don't know the difference between Polish and polish.

 

Is that because they are edited

 

$175 + or more.
Here is a price guide:

They are what's called collectables and should be worth more than face value between the quality, and the consecutive numbers. I have no idea the value though.

 

Very nice notes!

Numerous websites pointed out the value of $175+ for 1934B notes in uncirc. condition.
So, I don't think you would have difficulty getting even more than that sum (because those websites didn't state specific grades in correlation to prices) for each of your notes if you want to sell them.

Here, a note identical to yours sold for $240:

It's hard to find notes similar to yours on ebay, however, here's a non-graded, circulated example that sold:

Altogether, I think that each note would be able to realize at least $200.

I would try listing one note, and see how it sold.

 

According to this website, it would have been wiser to spend these bills in 1934 than hold onto them. Crazy to think of the buying power these had back then. http://www.in2013dollars.com/1934-dollars-in-2017

 

Exactly! In the 1930s/1940s you could place a significant down payment on a house with that type of money.

 

Considering the condition, and using $175 as a base, $250 each might be reasonable.

 

What is interesting is that you could have bought more, a lot more in in 1934 with these bills that you can today. In that sense, buying power, they are a bad investment. Putting away and preserving seven Walking Liberty 50 cent pieces would have made more sense. Never save a paper dollar.
