Are these worth anything?

    Over face value, of course. Long time lurker, first time poster with some bills I've acquired through my job at a gas station. Can anyone tell me what these bills are worth?

    Series 1934B $10 FRN: Still somewhat crisp, barely visible fold line near the middle.

    Series 1934C $20 FRN: More wear than the $10 with noticeable fold lines.

    Series 1953 $2 United States Note: Not in very good shape, so probably not worth much more than a curiousity.

    Series 1957A $1 Silver Certificate: Also somewhat crisp, noticeable folds throughout.

    Series 1963A $1 FRN: Folded several times, but still in good condition.

    Series 1963B $1 FRN: Looks and feels almost brand new off the press. I understand this series is a rare one?

    I've attached some photos for the first two here. If anyone can provide info, it would be much appreciated!

    As another long time lurker, I'll be happy to respond.

    1934B $10 lists at $20 in VF, may be worth more for the slightly low serial number
    1934C $20 is less than VF, probably only $22 to $23
    1953 $2 USN is worth $2 due to condition
    1957A SC lists $2.15 in VF
    1963A only lists in UNC, so probably only $1
    1963B also only lists in UNC

    Although the 1963B was a very low printing, everyone knew it would be and many more were saved than would otherwise have been the case, thus mostly negating the scarcity.

    The prices I've given you are from my woefully out of date Blackbook, and may have risen in the meantime. I would also point out that the 1934 series notes may be mules (which have the front and back plates from different series) and could be worth more than I have indicated.

    How can one tell a "mule" note?

    You'll need to check the front and back plate numbers, which are the tiny numbers in the lower right hand corner on the front and back of the bill. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about them to tell you if they are mules or not, or even where to look for the information.
