Old paper money bought at estate sale

I only had my husband go because it was my longtime n3xt door neighbor who needed the money

Since you have 21 you did okay. Less than a buck a piece. The CSA $2.00 note is a heartbreaker.

 

The value of the silver dime (melt) is $1 and the quarter $2.50.
The 1932 nickel $5- $10. And that's just some of the coins. You have other
coins and the bills. The bills are a bit worn and circulated, ripped, etc. but there is value there too. I imagine you made a profit on this transaction.
Def. didn't lose any. When the price is reasonable, as this was, you can't lose because of the enjoyment you get from the coins and notes besides their value.

 

My favorite is the confederate 2 dollar bill because he was family just adds to my history

 

Yes really damaged

 

That is a really interesting looking coin! I'm still learning about the value of old coins and don't know a whole lot, but I honestly just really like the look of that one.

 

Which one

 

You got really lucky with the old 5 dollar and CSA note. I really like the look of the five dollar bill.

 

Thank you

 

Are they worth anything someone else said what a shame

 

They are worth what someone is willing to give you. Someone said it was a shame because the CSA note was in really bad shape. Although the five may be old there happens to have been a lot of notes of that type and in its current condition I don't think it would command too much of a premium if any. I think you did well becuase you paid less then a dollar a piece. Why do you ask Joy?

 

Because I'm building a collection for my grandkids and was wondering if I can have them restored and if it will help to do so

 

No way to restore them. They are what they are and that is damaged bills. They are cool items but not worth more then a few bucks each.

 

Ok thank you

 

Hi Joy - missed this post when it first came up. A lot of people collect obsolete bank notes by town or state. The $5 note you have is from Erie, Pa in 1860. The "old" Haxby reference book listed this note for $10 in VG. Heritage auctions have had quite a few over the past 10 years and notes roughly in that condition have sold for over $20. So I'm sure you got more than your investment in these items.
