Message:: [QUOTE="funkee, post: 1775668, member: 37925"]$1,000 notes, even the common districts, are worth $1,100 (tattered rags) to $7,500 (gem uncirculated) depending on several factors. The actual value will depend on the district, condition, seal color and potentially plate numbers (for mule notes). Even the only flaws are 3 vertical folds, it has a good chance of grading Extremely Fine 40. Here are some notes in the 40 grade range that sold recently for the most common series: 1934 $1,000 from the Chicago (G) district. It's possible your note will be a rarer district. It could also be a mule, which will bring a higher value. This will give you a rough opinion of your notes' value. The records that have no name in the 2nd column are graded by the seller and not by a third party grader like PCGS or PMG.  [ATTACH=full]283154[/ATTACH] For rarer and high value notes, buyers will pay a premium for a note graded by PCGS or PMG. This eliminates the gambling aspect of not knowing what you're actually going to get. If the only condition issues are the 3 folds, I would recommend getting the notes graded. As you can see graded notes fetch higher returns for the most part.[/QUOTE]
