Compared to roll searching nickels, I would consider this find a jackpot. I often ask for older bills, am usually turned down, and rarely find anything noteworthy. I wonder if you had to make googly eyes at the teller?
My thoughts on collecting/hoarding echo WVUCoins. Although there is a fork in the road, it's not a decision you have to make right now. You can hoard them for the time being until with more thought and planning you can integrate them into your collection or sell them to finance other collecting interests.
I think it's nice to see everybody remaining so civil.

That's a good deal to get them for, but I do not think you should have given all of them out =[ That was the only reason for me buying them Quote:
In fact most would not really get excited over a bunch of wrinkled up bad looking notes, yes I'm sure there nice enough for the very YN's that maybe have never seen one, and they sure would be nice gifts for those just starting out, but I believe it would take a lot more than a pile notes like that for real currency collectors to get excited. That is why I handed them out to the kids in the class, they were allot more excited about them than anyone else I could have given them to because they had never seen them and maybe 1 or 2 will keep them and maybe even build on them and start collecting themselves. |

Since I am running a bit low on money to go coin roll hunting, I may cash in some of those silver certificates back at the same bank I got them from. If I do that, I know my teller will continue to hold onto them for me, and I can always pick them back up later. Most of all, I want to pick up that Series 1934 $50 bill.

 , MGJ! - To put this into perspective, if he had brought this stack to us in 1968, I'd have offered him $880 (condition unimportant) and advised him not to keep them. Now, someone has lost 44 years of other potential profit from reinvesting the money, and has taken the time for pix, writing an ad, etc. If they sold for the start asking price, they'd have gotten to keep about $563 of the $640 asking price. |

I'm surprised no one put in a bid at just $8 per note, but most are pretty worn.
