Some years ago I purchased a courtesy note collection from an elderly retired Secret Service Agent. I put them away stored until today when a TV show asked me what I may have. I cannot name the TV show per contract. I have done a few shows and a short series in the past (not currency related) and the producer is hoping I may have something. So, I broke out the collection and did my best to capture the bills with my limited skills. Problem is I am pushed for time and never gave too much thought to value. I am hoping I can obtain some idea by asking your help. There are 52 $1 dollar and 17 $2 dollar bills. Some are consecutive, some have very low serial numbers, and one star note. I hope the pictures show some are doubled signed and some are single signed. There are a few Silver Certificates. In case some are covered in my pics all are at least autographed once.

The documentation support definitely adds to the value. But it's hard to speculate on price for this many bills. At auction, the sales price will depend on the number of interested buyers. On their own, a single autograph on an unremarkable uncirculated $1 FRN may bring $30 at auction. A double autograph could bring $50-$75. For uncirculated silver certificates, you might get $40 for a single autograph and $60-$80 for a double. A 4 digit serial number might push that amount to $100. The added documentation might add a few hundred to the overall sales price, if the collection is sold in its entirety. Hope that helps!
One point worth noting is that the two 1969A $1's, with unremarkable-looking serial numbers, are actually from the 64th and 65th sheets printed for that series (since the serial numbering for 1969A picked up where 1969 left off). So you've got a couple of "stealth" low numbers there, essentially....
to 12, I am obviously not very good with this link stuff. Could you please write me and point out what information is there. I tried to cover that stuff, but I guess I failed.
Thanks to you all for the help. I have to give the valuation tomorrow and your input is extremely valued. The producer hopes that this type of collection will encourage others to collect instead of trying to find some rare item that no one but the extremely well off could collect.
