Lets start here Rosethe, do any of the notes have stars before or after the serial numbers, in place of a letter?

 

BRB,

I found one.



Can someone tell me what the different colors; red, blue, green and yellow mean?

And what is the significance of the word Hawaii on this note?



Thanks!

 

Nice note.. Great gift from your father...

 

Rosethe, first off, the notes should be treated just like coins, they should not be handled if at all possible. If they are in sleeves, keep them there. Notes, like coins, have many variables as to their worth. The first note you posted in this thread, could be worth over 3K in top grade. Condition, as always plays a large part of a notes value. The Hawaii note appears to be in nice shape and could bring near $200 at auction. These notes were issued during the war for use by our troops in battlezones, as was the yellow seal 1935A you have, which was for N. Africa. The star you show has a value of $20-25, I had hoped maybe some of the older notes had stars. Each will have to be evaluated on its own, for a better idea of its worth. Good luck.

 

If you could post pics of the notes in groups, as you have them broken down, i'm sure the experts here would be glad to help with values. Red notes are Legal Tender notes, Blue are Silver certificates, Green are Federal Reserve notes and Brown and Yellow are Hawaii and N. Africa.

 

O.K. Pennywise--

Here's a few more. No more time tonight, I should go do some work.

 

Hi rosethe, I just wanted to mention that the 5 dollars star note is also a repeater note. So the note may have some additional value other than being just a star note.

Ah, I remember that from my childhood, also something called a radar note.
Dad was fond of those. I should check for more of those.

Thanks Lou!

 

rosethe, you can check the site I posted below to help you with some of the special serial numbers that may be worth a premium. http://nutmegcollector.blogspot.com/2008/02/many-collectors-specialize-in.html

I'll do my best with these. These are ballpark figures with the pics provided. The notes all appear in crisp shape. The 3 1928's and the 1934 are also known as funnybacks and sell for between $40-80. The 1935's normally sell in the $6-12 range. Remember these are price guide ranges, some could sell higher, some lower, but each note needs to examined on its own.

 

Thank you.

What's funny about the backs? I haven't honestly looked at the reverse.

There are multiple bills in some sleeves, I think they are newer ones. I didn't want to touch them....gotta get those cotton gloves....

 

This is what they look like..

 

The 1963A G* $5 FRN is a nice note and a nice radar birth year to boot! I would get the note graded if it hasn't already...

 

rosethe - your father had a good eye for currency :thumb:

 

Continuation of the $1 notes
























Some foreign notes:







Can anyone tell me what these war notes are about?

Thanks!

 

while any one of us can tell you the value of a note, with the amount of notes you have, it would be a good idea for you to pick up a book, or books, on currency. For US notes, i would suggest the 'Comprehensive Catalog of US paper money', if there are alot of world notes, i would highly reccomend the 'Standard catalog of world paper money' from krause publications. Both books would give a very good idea of values for all your notes. While the books themselves would only be a price guide and subject to changes, a rough idea of a value is better then none

 

Looks like a purchase from Amazon is in order.
(I had no idea there were books that give value:goof

Thanks.

 

rosethe...

for a more accurate price guide, please go here and join to get the archive pricing for notes sold in the past.
You have some nice notes here...the $5 star repeater is worth more than $25 to the right collector....
Use the price archives as your guide.

Thanks Rickie,

I found a couple more star notes behind the others I previously photographed.
I can't make any sense of the other bills I saw today, none of the serial numbers seem significant in any way, but why are they there???

I'll check out the site.
