    A couple large size added to my collection today - what value do you give them??? After I get a few answers I'll let you know how I did. I think I paid fair value, but we shall see what you think first. I'll tell you that I didn't get a couple that I would have liked to like the two shown here and a .25 fractional (F-1309) in VF to EF condition due to one edge rolled and slightly damaged. It would have been AU otherwise.

    Thanks ~ Darryl :)

    My estimate..(opinion only) Scans can be deceving ya know...

    Darryl... the Fr# 237..looks to be a high Grade VF to a mid grade XF...

    I would say $50-60.00 (Nice Note)

    The $1 Legal Tender is an Fr #38 the most scarce of the signature groups...it look to be a VF35 and will run anywhere from $60-95$...there are Mule varieties for this note so check it good. Need an enlarged reverse image as my eyes are starting to go..LOL

    Need better pics on the $2 note. But it is an Fr#60

    Nice pick ups!!

    The two was an F-60 in EF40 condition.

    RickieB - on the LT the front plate is micro F61 - how do I figure out if it's a mule? Is there a back plate number? BTW my book has VF35 at about $140? EF20 at $120? That's from the most recent red book. I also graded about the same as you, maybe slightly better. It looks better in hand than the high res camera shows. It actually looks better than the SC.

    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

    Darryl...

    The Back Plate # is in the (Left) open white field on the reverse at 6:00 O'clock..
    check it out!! The Back plate number will be Larger!! From what I can see it appears to be a Mule...These are hard to fine in higher grades...I just had an example walked through the Long Beach show and waiting to hear the grade report..

    Thanks - I have no idea how long I looked for it and it was right under my nose. :eek: The BP-Number is 2100 and is definitely larger than the front.

    Any effect on value?

    Ya know Darryl come to think about it...almost every one of them that I have seen is a Mule...
    I am not certain on that (value added) to be honest. In the Comprehensive Catalog of US Paper Money there is no reference to that Fr# being a Mule..as well as most of the pricing guides I review..

    Perhaps some one else may know??

    No problem RickieB - The red book does not go in depth enough to figure it out.

    Thanks for looking though!

    I will check a few sources to see if I can find out ..I would like to know because that means there is another Fr# 38 variety to add...LOL

    P.S. The note I sent back was damaged and they are reslabbing I think...

    Thanks Rick!!!

    BTW - The F-1309 sold for $120 in VF35 to EF40 condition. I think this was the best deal of the auction. The fractional sold for $47 and I thought that was a bit high for a rolled and slightly damaged edge.

    My two notes sold for $140 for the pair. Like I said - I think it was a fair deal for the two.

    Take care!
