So one of the baggers that works (indirectly) for me got a five dollar tip from a lady today when he carried out her groceries. She was an older lady and just happened to tip with a crisp, 1950B $5 bill. Has one ink smudge to the left of Lincolns portrait and was unforunately bent some on the trip inside. I don't think its anything a few weeks in a thick book can't handle but it'll probably always have problems. I don't know much about bills so I was wondering if this one has any premium. Its a green seal federal reserve note. Serial number is A04633019B Obverse bottom right is P340 Reverse bottom right is 2370 Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Tyler
The BEP pumped out over 30 MILLION of these. The book price, in CH-CU is $30, and when I first got into collecting, a currency dealer that has later turned out to be a good friend of mine now, told me to TRY and purchase for no more than 50% of book value. It doesn't always work out that way, but I thought it was some good advise.
Thats a lot. And its not quite Ch-Cu but close. Not bad for face value though. I deal mostly in coins so I just get the occasional note if I like it (or find it in circulation like this).
