<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 4636926, member: 15588"]So I'm still torn. I think I mentioned this old pile of around 100 USA $1 and $2 notes a while back that came down to me from a relative that passed away over 10 years ago. I pulled out some obvious keepers (maybe 10 or so), such as a 1935 G Silver Certificate in pretty much pristine condition. There was also a $2 1976 star note from the Minneapolis Fed which seems to have value, a near perfect 1974 $5 (the only $5 in the batch) and a run of crisp sharp consecutive serial 1981 $1 notes. The rest range from 1963 to 2006 and are ratty, folded, marked on or worn. A few almost qualify as tissue. I didn't see any interesting serial numbers or errors either. Of course they also contain 11 1963 B Barr notes, since everyone was told to save them back then, but none even come close to "nice" condition. They obviously circulated well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I then purchased the "United States Paper Money" Red Book 6th edition and went through all of the bills.

Of course I have some hesitation since they were pulled from circulation decades ago by a relative, but why keep the ratty ones for just that reason? I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything. They have a <i>tiny bit</i> of sentimental value, but I really don't need to keep them all. The nice ones that I pulled out should suffice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
