Best Finds at the Bank

Went to the bank and the teller told me she had gotten a older fella come in and deposit alot of older bills I look at them and I see red seals and silver certificates. Red seals were still chrisp. Also teller gave me some coins that looked old to her. Out of the 14 she gave me 4 were silver including a worn smooth standing liberty.

Also sorry for picture quality took pictures in pooe lighting and with a older camera

The other silver certificates were worn to toliet paper sold them to my local coin dealer

 

Nice.
Silver Certificates and US Notes.

 

Yep, not a thing there I'd turn down at face value.

 

What are those canisters in the photog? PVC cement?

Oh, and I love the notes. Especially the 'red seals'. Nice to have friends at the bank.

 

Wow nice! I’m still waiting for a day like that... How much did you get for the silver certificates? They aren’t usually worth much more than face value. If you had a silver certificate way back, you should've traded it for silver. It’s worth almost 20 times more then a silver certificate.

 

@Corn Man could you tell the newer collectors what you asked the teller?
Maybe they could learn some tips.

 

Nice to get from the bank

 

Sure looks like it. I’ve used enough of it

 

Well I was cashing in about a hundred bucks in nickels for cash after a coin roll search and I asked the teller who knows me because im a regular anybody deposit anything older. Then she said yeah someone came in with these old blue bills. My eyes lit up as she showed me 250 bucks face in silver certificates and Red Seals. I bought them all took the best of the lot for my collection then sold the others for 1.15 to my Coin dealer. She has a till to for change and I asked her if the guy deposited any coins and she pulled out what she had left and got the 4 silver quarters. Always ask if someone has deposited any older bills when going places never know what somebody has spent or deposited.

 

It wasn’t “ HANDS UP!” was it?

 

Got a 1934 20 dollar bill from my bank still kinda crisp lots of finds in Southern Louisiana so far.

 

You did real good!

 

That's awesome! I found a $5 Silver Cert from 1953 once in circulation.

 

There still out there always soneone who has had a safe of them since the 50s and they either deposit it into the bank orwhen they die thier kids do

 

Nice! Too bad there’s writing on it.

 

Yeah the back has a highlighter mark on it but for face value cant pass that up

 

I used to get them occasionally. And silver too but lately there’s nothing out there I still occasionally see $100 bills from the 60s and 70s I know there’s a lot of good old boys that have a safe full of cash

 

Lol a week ago I went to the back and a lady said she had a wheat penny so I gave her one cent for it.

 

Was at work and somebody threw this in my tip jar still chrisp probably from somebody's stash
