Arrow Sheet of (16) Uncut Series 1985 $1 Federal Reserve Notes that Grandfather Gave

Posted this in the 'What's it Worth' Forum, but they said to try it over here:

My grandfather won this sheet of $1's years back, I believe he said in a basketball hoop game at a fair, and gave it to me five years or so ago. I sat it on top of my TV stand at my parents house in my old room, and it's been collecting dust ever since. I have been looking for a good frame for it, like the ones the Bureau of Engraving and Printing sells, but I'm not trying to spend $40 on it lol. Anyway, do these have any particular value?

It's 16, $1, Series 1985 Fed notes. From the Atl Federal Reserve (if that's what the circled 'A' stand for on the left side of the bill).

Here's a pic:

Nice 1/2 sheet of 1985 Boston A-A block notes.
1985 was a banner year for sheets from the BEP. They printed sheets for 38 different blocks.
The sheets typically sell for as low as $2 per note , up to $4 per note. Book value is $5, yet I've never seen an ordinary, non-star sheet of these go for that much. Some dealers like to buy these cheap, and cut them into 4-subject sheets.

 

got better pics so we can see the SN's??

Cool sheet, there was a store where i used to live in California that had uncut sheets in
All denominations it was really neat!

 

I have mine(32 subject) framed in a traditional 36x24 frame with some star notes fanned out, a couple of singles with reverse showing, and an engraving of the Treasury & Great Seal on one side. You can get the seals from the BEP. Look under engravings...

BTW: You can get a regular frame and sandwich the notes between two pieces of glass. Use RTV on the edges, and secure it in the frame... Just think of it as instead of using a solid backing board in the frame, use another sheet of glass...
Mom & Pop hardware stores will usually cut you some custom glass. You can also sub the glass with Lexan or Plexi but those get pricey - hence why the BEP acrylic frame is pricey! A lot of their pricing on the frames is material cost. That stuff has never been that cheap! Wait till you price some Lexan LOL
Glass is the way to go! Completly inert and cheap! You need to sand the edges though, so you don't spill blood on dem notes!
