just got a 5 peso cuban bill from 1896 that says PLATA on the back and the coresponding 10 peso bill with PLATA stamped on the back also, picked them up for a total of 22 bucks did i do good
My edition of SCWPM shows those as P-48b and P-49d (I know nothing of Cuba notes, so I could be missing something about these), with value in VF as $3.50 and $5.00 respectively. Hard to tell the condition yours are in, so that was a guess. The UNC values are $12.50 and $15. It's great to see these, though I'd get a catalog if you're going to spend any serious money on such notes. Dave
You did about right. These are not scarce. They are also known to come in sheets and with the counterfoil on the left.

If you are looking for a more accurate price, look at closed auctions not listings. A seller can list a note for whatever they want. That does not mean it is worth that. http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?_nkw...w=&_osacat=162200&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
