    My 80 year old neighbor brought over a box of coins for me to take a look at. In the box was an old envelope with two english notes( 1 pound, 10 shilling), A 2 pound Ceylon 1945 bill and this $10 bill wrapped in a piece of paper that had " special series" written on it.
    I do not know anything about U.S. paper currency so I am asking for opinions on what is so special about this bill. Thanks zeke

    I want to add that I carefully unfolded these bills and after scanning them I put them separately into small food baggies. I was dissappointexd that whoever wanted to save them , folded them. They've been that way for at least twenty years I would believe. I am going to post pics of the other bills too.

    1050B has many made so nothing that special that I see...

    just by looking at it nothing seems out of the ordinary. it is a shame when people store currency all folded up. i knew this lady i worked with that had a bunch of old red seal $5 notes folded up and sitting in her wallet:headbang:

    Well the note is in pretty tough shape.. the upper right Suffix letter "H" is into the design just a little or so it appears..but this is trivial and not worth any premium.

    ***Edited..my mistake***

    That's an official range, not an observed range--by the 1950 series we've got good BEP data on the regular notes. This series covered B75240001F to B46080000H.

    Thanks for all the great info. I'm a tonic man myself but it is not mine to spend.

    I still think the flag on the back at the front of the building is upside down :)

    took scans of both flags. They look like they're flying correctly to me.
