I do not have a camara other then my phone right now. its hard for me to get a good picture. My friend is a wealthy man and bought it from a local coin shop for a good chunk of change. They are real bills I am just trying to figure out what amount of money they might get if they were to go up for auction. he bought them 10years ago for around $12,000

There is a plastic wrapping over the framed object as well as the glass. Off of a camera from the phone I can see how some of them do not look uncirculated, but when they are seen in person it is 100% clear that they are.
Lets move beyond the point that the pictures are not very high quality. If I were planning on selling them I would provide the quality of photos needed. But given the information of what years they are and that they are uncirculated condition what else would you need to determine the value?

Are you sure there is a printed back to the bills? May sound silly to you, but I have seen similar, some with US bills, some with "Texas" bills, and they were obverse only. The size of the bills also would matter, since facsimiles were allowed if the size differed by a specific proportion or more. No offense intended.

In the past half hour I have called the person who gave them to me... Yes he is 100% sure they all have backs to them because when he bought them they were in individual cases where you could see both sides. He felt he wanted to keep all seven bills together so he decided to frame them and put them together. I also did measure them and they all are the appropriate size. Thanks for your help everyone! And no I do not take offense to any of this because it is helping! BUT without the questions regarding whether they are real bills, what kind of price would we be looking at for uncirculated, real bills! lol I know if I went into a place and got them certified and payed a fee to have them appraised I could find out, but I just thought I would mention this gift I got and see what you guys estimated it at  |

You have asked this community to let you know what those notes are worth but can't give us anything to work with. Honestly we LOVE to help people out but are completely unable to do so in this case. Nothing less than hi-res scans will do in this case if you want our help. I know you don't have a scanner, but I'll bet you know someone who does have one, perhaps the friend that gave you the notes. If you really want an honest opinion of the value seek out a way to help us give it to you.

Putting them on a scanner would be difficult to do without unframing them.
Since you can't actually judge the true condition of the notes just answer the question assuming the lowest level of uncirculated, and with the caveat that "If the actual condition of the notes is lower the value will also be correspondingly lower. This is strictly a theoretical valuation."

A good $30 scanner will scan a coke can, it'll certainly do the notes. Your best bet would be to look them up on ebay, as book prices are out of date. If they're the real thing, you have quite a friend. For starters, get a magnifier. You've already been told the gc date is wrong, so is the $5, which is a 1899, not 1886. There's nothing wrong with asking for help, but not sending people on a feral goslin pursuit. For example: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=10...+certificate2500-5000 http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=1899+$51000+ Danger, Will Robinson!My, my, lookit all the copies! And they look just like yours. Which is why everyone is asking for sharp pix, and serial numbers and series while we wait for them. |

My thoughts exactly. I have seen similar displays such as this one composed of one-sided reproductions. Some of those notes are the most popular vignettes from late 19th century currency and that usually means big bucks for CU condition. It is entirely possible that this is only a pictorial display full of replicas vs. a potential multi-thousand dollar collection of genuine notes. |
