[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 1410255, member: 24754"]I've been collecting coins for a while, and have recently been thinking about getting into currency (figured a $1 type collection would be a fun thing to do). I've been researching and gathering as much info as I can find on $1 type notes and their values. I nailed down the list of notes that I would like to obtain, found pictures of each example for reference, and tried to develop some type of feel for note grading. I figured that I was ready to start shopping for my first $1 bill. When it comes to coins the greysheet publications are commonly considered to be the most relevant price listing, and sale prices tend to more or less follow these listings pretty closely. Therefore, assuming the same would apply to currency, I got myself a copy of the most recent greensheet. For the past week or so I have been visiting websites, following online auctions, and visiting coinshops. What I have been finding is that the asking prices and pretty much all sale prices that I have come across are significantly underestimated by the greensheet listings. Is there a more accurate guide to currency values? Am I misinterpreting the greensheet somehow? Has there been a recent increase in value of collectable $1 bills that the price guides have not accounted for? Or is the pricing structure of currency just less regimented that that of coins? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks[/QUOTE]
