Recent find in a collection given to me by my grandfather many years ago. I've done quite a bit of looking and reading... But there is sooo much conflicting information out there. It has me pulling my hair out. Never the less.. I'm really a novice for lack of a better term. Is there any significance or value to these sets? The bills/notes on the right appear to be uncirculated or mint state. As well as the top left. Coinage has some nice toning, but beyond stacker value I am fairly clueless. Thanks for any help/advice you can give. Sorry for the poor photos.  |

Can we see the other side? Also. bigger pics would be nice so we can see what condition it's in.
The dollar bill on the top left seems to be a devil's face one. It's a Coyne-Towers signature and it's worth more than the Beattie-Coyne signature. If it's UNC as you say then it's worth a good amount, but if it has edge bumps or light folds or creases it can't be UNC anymore.
The three bills below it are very worn, not worth more than face value.
The 1967 issue with 1867-1987 "serial" is still common, so it's not worth too much over face value.
As for the coins, we ned bigger pics.

Better pics... Absolutely! And many thanks for the quick reply. I kind of figured the pic wasn't going to answer a whole lot once I seen how distant it seemed. Not new to forums by any stretch. But the uploading software is a little different then what I am used to.
Better pics coming shortly...

Top left bill as requested. Still not the greatest pics. Very sorry, I'm working with a tablet here. Going to work on the coins now.   |

I noticed a couple of dimples in the bill upon closer inspection. Also noticed the presence of a green dot on both face and obv of bill. Although bad quality pics I think you can pick them up.
Something else caught my eye too. The back of the bill... My eyes are getting bad, but not that bad! Why is this offset?

The green dots are some sort of security feature I believe, mine has them too. The "offset" is a small misalignment of the printing, it's undesirable and will keep an otherwise perfect note a gem grade. It's not an error unless the design is cut.
It's definitely not UNC. Maybe EF, it's too creased to be AU.

Well the info on the offset makes me feel a little better. In that being... Better to have a slighly damaged product as opposed to a excellent fake one. In this market, what is the aprox value in your opinion?

If those are 50 cent pieces... looks like the running total is around $40 just a quick ball park.

Yes, at the time it was used as a means to check for counterfeit notes. The green dots were overlaid onto the bill during production somehow and by using a pin it was possible to loosen the green dot and actually flick it off without damaging the bank note in any way. |
