I have a couple of higher grade examples, and they are still reasonably priced.

A fun find for sure. I found a 1934 $20 in my paper route money many moons ago. I think it's worth around $22.

If you sell it, please report the gain to the IRS.  |

Sorry, all of this sounds inspiring, but under the current tax code, he would still be liable for the tax on two bucks - less expenses!  |

I love the distinction between the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve. I need to get one of these and frame it. |

I work as a teller at 5/3 Bank in Chicago. I have found countless '34s, a couple of silver certificates, several US notes and been able to complete rolls of silver halfs (40 and 90) quarters and dimes. This is really cool though! Wish I found a '28. My fiance pulled a '28 $20 from her Walgreens register though...anyways....really cool find! |

Aside from the silver, do you keep any of the notes?

Anything 1950 or older (where it has the "pay to the bearer clause") I buy for my collection along with US notes and silver certs. I figure they are over 50 years old and don't deserve to be destroyed. Before I got there any small head notes were automatically pulled to be sent to the FED for destruction. They have since just let me buy them. The non-clause notes 63+ I buy if they are CU. I have gotten a couple of $20s and $50s this way. I am hoping for the day someone comes in with a gold certificate...however ratty it might be. A man can hope haha

It could happen! Someone I know received a FRBN brown seal (actually not that beat up) a year or so ago.

That's funny you say that, about 6 months ago one of my other tellers got a $100 FRBN from Chicago in a BRINKS cash shipment...

His was a Boston $10, sort of mid-VF. I sold it for him on the local bid board for, I think, $22.

I was a teller in the past... the oldest find was a 1928 $100 Note. Looked up the price, but at the time was only worth $5 or so more... wasn't enough justification to buy it.

Still always great to hold one of these old numericals in hand!
