<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tjust, post: 1917829, member: 54632&quot;]Looks like that collection is going to be a lot of fun to go through and learn about each piece!&nbsp; I am by far not an expert on paper money (or coins for that matter) but here&#039;s what I would have to say about the photos you took:</p><p><br /></p><p>-Confederate money I know absolutely zilch about! I do know they are often printed on one side, and were frequently counterfeited because every state had different designs.</p><p>-Military payment and Philippine currency usually don&#039;t go for too much as far as market value go, but who knows there may be rarities &amp; variants that collectors go after</p><p>-&quot;Porthole&quot; Lincoln $5, gorgeous note and sought after, but condition brings down the value significantly. Still a great piece to have in the collection.</p><p>- $10 National Banknote &quot;Johnson City&quot;, these get really interesting because specimens from the issuing bank make a difference in value. These are definitely harder to come by than typical Nationals of lower denomination, but again, the condition of the note brings down the value (unless you&#039;ve got a rare issue that commands big bucks even in lesser condition)</p><p><br /></p><p>As we all know collecting is not always about &quot;value&quot;, but you gotta admit it&#039;s pretty exciting to see the values of what you have in your hands.&nbsp; Because most of the notes I see in the album are in considerably circulated condition, your best bet is to have key dates/variants/issues which still command a high price in any condition.&nbsp; The history behind US currency notes are always so interesting, and IMO some of the nicest engravings out of any currency.&nbsp; Hopefully I have not given any inaccurate points, if so please be sure to correct me so I can learn something and 4D can get some solid knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
