I went there a few months ago and this older woman had some cash she has had for a long time and told me to keep them safe. Any idea's how much it would be worth? (I have no intention to sell them at all) (the dates if you can't read them are $2 Bill - 1953 $5 Bill - 1963 (In order from top to bottom) $1 Bills - 1935 A, 1935 D, 1935 F Thanks, Frittle
Sorry, but this is going to be a needlessly long response. But just last weekend when sorting through old family stuff I found some currency pretty much just like these bills. (There was even some Confederate money that has been folded, crumpled, spindled, and quasi-mutilated.) My parents kept it because "someday it will be worth something". That caused me to have all this on my mind, so... These bills you posted are cool reminders of days gone by! But alas... in their circulated condition such as they are... they have no appreciable "worth" over their face value. :-( Too many folds and wrinkles to be of much collector value. If they were listed on eBay they might possibly fetch a little over face value. But that would demand spending time and energy to deal with all the rigamarole involved with listing, uploading photos, answering buyer's questions, packaging them up when/if they sell, and getting them to the post office to ship. The eBay seller fees which would then take 30 cents per listing and 13.5% of the total. (Currently on eBay multiple $2 bills like the one posted are listed at $2.99 but have no bids. There are similar listings on eBay for $5 bills and $1 bills like those of this older woman.) So... sorry... but as far as what they are "worth" today... well... their sentimental-for-yesteryear value exceeds their realistic-today's-dollar value by a leap and a bound. But I'd count on $10 for sure. Of course there are those who would list the whole group on eBay for $2,000 and make up some story to motivate a potential buyer. Like maybe how these exact very bills fell out Oswald's pocket when he got off the bus in Dallas on November 22nd, 1963. With such a story and enough patience, one of those P.T. Barnum "suckers" may just bite. (I'm CERTAINLY not advocating this! I detest such listings.) Bottom-line, what is true for my parents and the bills they kept, is also true for this older woman at church. Had she put that $10 into Savings Bonds in the mid-60's, or, if she had simply put the $10 in a bank savings account, she would have been much better off. Not to mention that per online inflation calculators, $10 spending power in 1963 would be as though $99.27 of spending today. Ouch!!!
my brother puts his old bills like these in a book to flatten em out some, told him that it may not help much, but he said he's gonna pass em on to the grandkids anyway.
