Here are photos of the currency I recently acquired. I'm not experienced grading banknotes. However, using a guide I found on the Internet I think:

Most of the silver certificates are in F to VF condition -- although one of the 1957B $1 bills is in XF condition and the other one is in VG condition.

The 1928F $5 US Notes are in VG-F condition.

The 1928B $10 FRN is in G condition (and furthermore is marred by inked circles). The 1934A and 1934B $10 FRNs are in VG condition, and the 1934D $10 FRN is in VF condition.

Can anyone estimate the value of these banknotes? I don't intend to sell them -- but I'm curious if any of them have more value than the other ones. Thanks!

From what I can see, there isn't much of a premium on these notes, but Steve in Tampa will know for sure.

Thanks for the photos.
Everything is kinda common. I don't see anything there that I'd pay more than double face to own.

To give you an idea, my LCS would give all of these notes out in change from a sale.

But a very nice score at face!

I appreciate the "attaboys" sent by experienced currency collectors, and the feedback I received concerning the modest value of these old notes. I've never sold any of the ~600 silver dimes and half dollars that I've found while coin-roll hunting because I enjoy the "treasure-hunting" dimension of this hobby. Likewise I don't plan to try to sell any of these old banknotes. Instead, I will give them to the children of my nieces and nephews who I have encouraged to become coin collectors.

These were the kinds of bills that were in my pay envelope at the grocery store I worked at in the early 1960's. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing pics of your great bank score!

Nice finds. I've never gotten a series 1928 note.
