Hello,
I am new and I was given a few coins and a 10 dollar bill from my grandparnets and I need help figuring out what exactly I have.
10 dollar federal reserve note 1934 A Yew York green seal B12328456C
condition I am unsure about. It was folded.
I also have some silver coins
Liberty Half dollars 1942, 1943, 1936
Dimes with I think it is Hermes on them 1920, 1941, 1925, 1918, 1926, 1924, 1917, 1935, 1927, 1918, 1927, 1944, 1941, 1920, 1944, 1916
they are kind of worn
How do I figure out what they are worth?
Thanks,
Renmic

The age of the note is good, but someone will have to actually see it to determine condition and possible value. The dimes technically have Winged Liberty Head on them, but they are normally referred to as Mercury dimes. If the Walking Liberty half dollars and the Mercury dimes have a lot of wear, those would be worth melt price. If some aren't bad, they may have some numismatic value also. Edited by Fuzzy317

Looking at my small size currency price guide, your $10.00 bill shows a value of $11.00 in a grade of very fine.
With out seeing the grades of your silver coins, I would say at a coin shop they may give you a little over 17 times face.
Your $10.00 bill and $3.10 in silver might get you around $65.00

If the 1934 A note is a bit worn and has several folds, I think it might be worth around $15-20. If the is otherwise crisp with a light fold, you could probably add another $10. The note will be worth even more if it is a star note. The half dollars, if they are in average circulated condition, will probably be worth about melt which is about $10 each at today's price. The dimes would probably be worth melt or about $2 each unless they are a value added date and mintmark combination. Check to see if the 1916 has a "D" and the 1926 if it has an "S". The mintmark is located on the reverse just to the right of the E in one and below the branch.

and have to add  That really is the only way we can say for sure what you might have on your hands. And the dimes are called Mercury dimes, although that is actually Liberty with a winged helmet. |

Do any of your Mercury dimes have a mintmark? It is located on the reverse (see photo).  If they do you may have some potential finds ... especially if that 1916 has a Denver mintmark 'D'. |

If you have an authentic 1916 with the D mintmark on the reverse you have a winner in any grade!
